danno, I think gk will be posting new quizzes for us to take, but I like your idea of giving a reflective answer. (You did do some reflecting, right?) 1. Which movie villain are you? 2. Which Greek god or goddess are you? DEVI: Hindu mother goddess. She embraces all things from a pure spirit. She is the goddess of Intelligence, the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water. She embodies the creative love and motherly love. But in keeping with Greek, I'd be ARTEMIS: She is the Greek Nature and Moon Goddess. Her name means "High Source of Water" which means she is the ruler of all waters, oceanic,psychic, and menstrual tides. She is invoked by women in childbirth. She is the protectress of youth, especially young women. She is also invoked by travelers to bring good weather. 3. Which rock star are you? Nancy Wilson, all the way, babe.

Ok, let's start with the rock star category. Im curious to see which stars the quiz will consider iconic. The Boss is a very good selection, although he may be too inimitable to be used as a type. www.startribune.com/a2839

Well, you might as well see how you do, but I didn't even know some of the references. I also don't know what my result means. Slb will have to interpret.

I see my accidental list of questions may be more fun than the official quizzez.
Janis Joplin. Horrible role model, I know, but that screaming rebel angst just can't be matched. If I could be male, Springsteen might be the one.

Well, here's my answer: //Good Charlotte These Maryland natives have a thing for piercings and spiky hairdos, and they just won the MTV Viewers' Choice Award. Are these rockers real punks or just "Young and Hopeless"? // 60% of those taking the poll think they are punk.

Holy mackerel, Joe, I was Good Charlotte, too. Total mystification.

It will be very interesting to see who else is Good Charlotte.
Were you the Shepherd?

Nope. Apparently by day I'm a White Knight and by night I'm a minstrel. Crusaders get too pooped to go around tilting at windmills after supper.

Too predictable. Will this surprise anyone?
I'm Aphrodite. Patron goddess of love, beauty and prostitutes. Though some people might think me a ditz, I have more depth than anyone knows, not to mention the power I wield in my self-comfort.

I have to tell you these are really lame quizzes. Maybe so, gk, but right now I feel like my head's going to start spinning around in unprecedented stress, so these lame-games are welcome.

Ok,slb, go back and take the test for men. Anything to help you get the stress under control. I'm sorry you're spinning like a top.
My first effort at the goddess quiz turned up Artemis, the "Virgin Goddess of the Hunt," protectress of maidens, beautiful but cold. Sheesh - not recognizable. So I tried again and came out as Hestia, sweet goddess of the hearth. Never maried because everyone liked her and she didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. The gentlest of the pantheon.
I'm thinking Hestia might have been kind of a Runaround Sue.

It says I'm Apollo. Unfortunately, I couldn't get all the great stuff it says about Apollo to paste here. But I do remember it called me a hottie.

Leave it to Thomas to find a way to cut-n-paste. Yep, it sounds like you, too, except for the sleeping-around business. Heck, you won't even flirt with me, here! Andrea's got a good egg over there in St. Paul.

Ares, the Greek God of War. I have some serious anger management problems. I am more about violence than strategy, and having me on your wide is often more likely to provoke more blood rather than victory. I am also a hunk, and Aphrodite was caught cheating on her hubby, Hephaestus, with me more than once. I am also the father of all the Amazons. The gods sometimes got annoyed with my immaturity--but hey! everyone's got something to work on.

The first time I was Apollo. Joe and I are the pretty-boy twin of Artemis - she being silver lunar and he being sunny gold. We're archers like her but our arrows can really hurt and bring plague (esp. if anyone makes a crack about our mom). But Apollo is also a healer and the God of Music, playing a mean lyre given him by bro Hermes.
The next time I took the god-quiz, I turned out to be poor cuckolded Hephaestus, the Smith of Olympus. He's the sweetest, kindest, etc. of all the gods, but considered ugly because he got thrown off Olympus and was crippled when he tried to mediate between his mom and dad. (This is so true of the thankless task of mediation, don't you think?) Aphrodite plays around with lots more than Ares, which may be why Hephaestus don't get no respect. But he was smart enough to make 2 gold robots to help him walk - sort of an Olympian daVinci.

Who or what is Good Charlotte? I could send you the cd I once took away from my son as inappropriate for a 13-year-old.

Somehow I had the feeling that Lovin' Spoonful wouldn't turn up as a possibility on that quiz. Good Charlotte probably chose that name to deceive moms less vigilant than Lirio.

OK, so Hillary Duff. Since when is a hillary duff iconic? Does that mean I am vapid and insipid? And Hestia, the most boring of the goddesses. I'd better just pack it in. Here I thought I was Nine Inch Nails and Hera.
