Subversive Alternative Pardigms

You scored as True Alternative. You are a True Alternative! Labels do not suit you well, particularly as you tend to strike your own path and to grow purely via experience. No armchair quarterbacking for you! Originality and creation are your specialities, and sometimes you can even articulate what the hell just happened. Someday you may find yourself drawing the maps for other people... lots of other people.

Taking orders? Then listen good...

I have every right to be grumpy these past 2 mornings. I had to wake up at 4am to hitch to work with my brother to save on gas. Normally I wouldn't mind. I've got my contingencies in place. I'd wake up, get to the office at 5:20 or so, then crash on the couch for an hour or so usually bothering to peel myself off the office couch at around 7.

Anyway, I head downstairs to the Local Fast food joint (Jollibee) to grab breakfast.

I enter, and find 2 relatively short queues. Fine. I fall in step and wait for my turn. The fast food service guy holding order slips hovers next to me like a horsefly.

"Sir, may I take your order, sir?"

I smile and give my order:

"One Longganisa Meal with Hot Chocolate to go, please."

"Sir, one Super Breakfast Meal?"

Strike One.

"... Longganisa Meal."

"Ah, and your drinks, sir?"

Strike Two.

"Hot Chocolate."

"Okay, Dine in, Ma'am?"

Strike Three (and Four)

"To go, at lalake ako (and I'm a guy)"

He tears off the order slip and gives it to me, hovering over to the next person in the queue.

Jeez... you'd think that if your job was to take people's orders, you'd listen more closely to what the person is saying.

What a way to ruin a morning.

Tarot Time again!

You are The Lovers

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.

Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

It's never too late to play a good game

RIP Troika, I loved your Arcanum and I'm now making my way through your last hurrah, Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines.

I know it's an old game, but thanks to my kitty, I've been able to score a PC that can finally run the thing, and I've installed the latest patch for it (v3.1) to get it running sans bugs.

My overall impression is that it kicks major amounts of ass. The atmosphere of the game perfectly matches White Wolf's famous World of Darkness setting, and as a GM for both the old and the new World of Darkness, I can't help but get a nostalgic vibe off Vampire: the Masquerade.

Then again, people who know me also know that I've always been curious to try a Vampire: the Masquerade tabletop game as a player, but I've never been able to coordinate my schedule to any ones that I've found running.

I tried playing over a Play by Post forum, but that one died on me after two weeks.

Anyway, the PC game, Bloodlines impressed me a lot with it's soundtrack, and very well done voice acting and characters.

From Legend of the 5 Rings, 3rd Edition

Though the way of the sword dominated the first true dojo the Crane established, the eway of negotiation and peace was certainly the first art they truly embraced. Lady Doji was a caring and peaceful woman, constantly called upon by the other Kami to settle disputes that arose due to the wildly varied natures of the different clans. With few exceptions, Doji ended such disputes with all sides in agreement and as friends once again. The Crane Clan have followed the example of their founder as leaders of peace and sowers of unity between the Clans.

Why don't you guys give it them a shot? :)
