I'm going to greath lengths to avoid writing my thesis.

The latest result of my procrastination is this test .

It's for entertainment purposes only, I'm not making any money off of it, blah blah blah.

Hope you like.

P.S. The idea of the test is not to end up with someone you might expect to end up with. So if you hate who you end up with... that's probably the point.

Silmaril Hmmm...

Hah, it says I'm an Eowyn Enthusiest. Duh! Haha... I only built a website devoted to that character. But, is this also implying that I'm in to women? Hmmm... perhaps it's trying to tell me something I don't... hehe.
I wasn't expecting that at all. Yay Eowyn.

The results are supposed to be gender-neutral.

Well not *that* much older. Or grouchy. But strangely enough, it almost fits...it's both cool and depressing at the same time.

I'm apparently in competition for Arwen!

Oh my... I hope this is book-Arwen not movie-Arwen, lest there could be some problems (and I might have to turn her in for horse-napping) :O!

Not exactly the dandy i'm looking for, but close. Someone like Des Esseintes, or maybe a Robert Ross (the canadian from Wilde's circle, not that movie star...sheesh) would be comfortable.

But, alas, i'm afraid a Gandalf Geisha was in order on this quiz... Hmm, I think he would bore me too much. Something along the lines of too much talk on too much of the same thing. Similar interests are not always the best thing... I like inviting an enemy to lunch, it's quite fun.

Just make sure you don't get suckered into brushing that crazy hair all day long. Oh, and that whole Grey/White split personality thing can't quite be solved with detergent.

You're a GANDALF GEISHA!


Although once when I was making a list of the male literary characters I'm most fond of, I did realize that three out of the five were 13-18 years older than their wives!

Apparently, "I ADORE my ARAGORN!" I ain't complaining! (Even though it said that I should avoid men who shower all the time. )

Very fun quiz, Lush! I could waste countless hours with this thing.

More than two years later...

I used to Rock for Rosie (and I didn't really agree), but now I'm a Gandalf Geisha.

I think this is much more like it, except for the smoke thing. And I'm not worried about the hair-brushing - I have my own crazy hair to let him brush.

(Sorry, I can't help pulling an HI on this thread. That's a really neat quiz Lushie made.)

It has been really fun reading through this thread again and re-living the frustrations of old.

I had happily forgotten about the "Everybody Loves Eowyn Movement" that one encountered constantly back then, maybe I should take the test again and get the rigt result.(Galadriel)
