Your Personality Profile

You are pure, moral, and adaptable. You tend to blend into your surroundings. Shy on the outside, you're outspoken to your friends. You believe that you live a virtuous life... And you tend to judge others with a harsh eye. As a result, people tend to crave your approval.

You're an Passionate Kisser

For you, kissing is about all about following your urges If someone's hot, you'll go in for the kiss - end of story You can keep any relationship hot with your steamy kisses A total spark plug - your kisses are bound to get you in trouble

Your Birthdate: January 18

Your birthday on the 18th day of the month suggests than you are one who can work well with a group, but still remain someone who needs to maintain individual identity. There is a humanistic or philanthropic approach to business circumstances in which you find yourself. You may have good executive abilities, as you are very much the organizer and administrator. You are broad-minded, tolerant and generous; a compassionate person that can inspire others with imaginative ideas. Some of your feelings may be expressed, but even more of them are apt to be repressed. There is a lot of drama in your personality and in the way you express yourself to others. Oddly enough, you don't expect as much in return as you give.

OK.. I took this from MAJO!'s journal. I am sure none of you care.. but here you go.

1 thing you regret:
1. I would generally say i dont regret anything... altho its just occurred to me.. i should never have started smoking.

I got sent this by a friend and thought.. why the hell not. Its just a list of 20 random things about me.. feel free to do the same.
:D

1. I am a scientist... I actually work in the field of bioinformatics and am *shock horror* a doctor!!! (PhD).

2. I love art and music. I used to run a record label and produce music and DJ

3. Since quitting the label and production, photography is TRULY my passion.

4. I cant live without music and am a total obsessive nin/ tori/ tool fanboi. I have many times been accused of musical snobbery. I am quite happy about this. Good music makes life worth living.

5. I shave my head because I am going bald. I am actually quite glad about this cuz my hair always sucked.

6. I love driving in the snow.

7. I love the silence that follows the cessation of an irritating noise that you had stopped noticing (like an extractor fan)

8. I plan on leaving Ireland and moving to Canada in a year. Ireland is great, but i have spent 29 or the last 30 years here.. and the winters suck. It rains too much.

9. I lived in Holland and studied/ worked/ did research there on two separate occasions, once on a years placement and once for 3 months research during my PhD

10. Sometimes I am a total misanthrope, sometimes I love all of humanity

11. I have no problem with total duplicity of character... i quite like it when people contradict themselves or hold opposing views on things from one day to the next. Its the ultimate in being open minded :D

12. I almost never watch the news or read newspapers.

13. I spend about an hour and 20 minutes everyday during the week driving to and from work and I love it as it gives me time every day to listen to music VERY loud.

14. I would love to write a book, but am sorta scared to try writing as it is the one big ambition in my life that I havent at least made some attempt at and am worried that i would suck at it.

15. I really dont like phones very much and mobile phone ringtones really really piss me off

16. To me the fact that companies exist that survive and indeed make lots of money from SELLING mobile phone ringtones while people in the world are dying in poverty pretty much sums up all that is wrong with the human race

17. I think that religious zealots should never be allowed to be involved in politics, and I also dont really think democracy works :P

18. I spend WAY too much time online! :D

19. I think having a crush on someone is fun and makes me happy and young. :D

20. I'm 30 years old, have a good job and care about what i do.. but i am still not entirely sure what i wanna be when i grow up. ;)
