Pick ONE band/artist, and use only TITLES of their songs to answer.

The Band
– Matchbox Twenty

Are you a boy or a girl?
– Last Beautiful Girl

It won’t be the first – heart that you break
It won’t be the last – beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked – won’t take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

How old are you?
– Damn

This old world well
Don’t it make you wanna think damn
This cold girl well
Don’t she wanna make you scream, damn

Describe yourself:
– Crutch

All you needed was a crutch
One step away from down
I could never be your crutch
I could break you down

How’s life?
– Mad Season

I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out
I’m a child and I’m hopeless
Bleeding and broken
though I’ve never spoken
I come undone
in this mad season

Where do you live?:
– Rest Stop

She said – while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you’re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn’t care
So I thought – hell if it’s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening – can you hear me
Have you forgotten

What’s your favourite song?
– Hang

Well I always say, it would be good to go away
But if things don’t work out like we think
And there’s nothing there to ease this ache
But if there’s nothing there to make things change
If it’s the same for you, I’ll just hang

Describe your love life
– You Won’t Be Mine

Take yourself out to the curb
Sit and wait
A fool for life
It’s almost like a disease
I know soon you will be

Over the lies, you’ll be strong
You’ll be rich in love and you will carry on
But no – oh no
No you won’t be mine

What are you?
– Bright Lights

Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all I’m up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
You’ll find something that’s enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don’t receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home

What kind of music do you like?
– Black and White People

If it’s just that you’re weak
Can we talk about it
It’s gettin’ so damn creepy
Just nursing this ghost of chance
The fiction, the romance
And the Technicolor dreams
Of black and white people

How are you feeling?
– Disease

I think that I’m sick
But leave me be while my world is coming down on me
You taste like honey, honey
Tell me can I be your honey
Be, be strong
Keep telling myself it that won’t take long till
I’m free of my disease
Yeah well free of my disease
Free of my disease

A few words of wisdom:
– Back 2 Good

Everyone here, is wondering what it’s like to be with
Somebody else
Everyone here’s to blame, everyone here
Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
Shades of shame, but looking inside we’re the same, we’re
The same
And we’re all grown now, but we don’t know how
To get it back to good

Alas, I’m no longer a staffer of The UP Parser, but I shall answer this silly questionnaire found in the egroup nevertheless:

Nickname
Ia

Full name
Adelaida Sophia Marie F. Lucero

Position (editor, staffer, junior staffer, etc. – kung meron pa iba)
(Formerly) Associate Editor and Business Manager. Also layouts and fills in for tasks other people cannot handle.

Favorite smiley and why?
^_^

Love or lust? Why? (sorry, wala nang maisip. ayos naman eh. ^_^)
Love. I’ve said this before: “lust will eventually need love” but I guess it doesn’t apply to soulless beings.

Why Parser?
Because it’s the most talented, most passionate, and most creative bunch of students in CompSci! Parse Youuuuuuu! :D

Your Score: Longcat

57% Affectionate, 40% Excitable, 44% Hungry

Protector of truth.

Slayer of darkness.

Loooooong.

Longcat may seem like just a regular lengthy cat, but he is, in fact, looong. For proof, observe the longpic.

It is prophesized that Longcat and his archnemesis Tacgnol will battle for supremacy on Caturday. The outcome will change the face of the world, and indeed the very fabric of lolcatdom, forever.

Be grateful that the test has chosen you, and only you, to have this title.

To see all possible results, checka dis.

Your Score: Anarchist!

Holy Shit! You scored 156!

See, I told you you could do it. The state is a crutch of those with a weak mind/heart, but it’s not for you, that’s for damn sure. You already know that structurelessness starts out chaotic but returns to a state of normalcy and order naturally, so I don’t need to explain that to you. Go forth, libertarian socialist, equalist, anarchist, and spread the good news of true freedom.

Almost, but not quite!

1. What is your background picture?

A photo of the RCBC Plaza (Makati) buildings in an imperfect V-shaped, worm’s eye view. (Taken during the Philippine Blog Awards 2007.)

2. Why did you chose that picture?

I love looking up. I love the perspective. I love the rhythm of the windows and its architecture. And I took the photo.

3. If you have a personal and a work computer, which program do you use the most on your personal computer?

You can check my Wakoopa profile for that, but I think I set the info to private. I’m sure it’s Firefox, though. :)

4. Which program do you use the most on your work computer?

Same as above!

5. Internet Explorer or Firefox?

Firefox!

6. Why do you use Firefox?

It’s critical to my job. And it’s the portal to the Internet, where I spend pretty much my whole day.

7. What is your favourite program?

Firefox is a given. Adobe Photoshop and the rest of the Creative Suite 3 is a runner up, as well as the AutoHotKey. It’s soooo convenient for typing out HTML.

8. Which program is the worst?

WinRAR is utterly useful but annoying because mine has a nag screen. To say Internet Explorer would be cliche, but I don’t use it that much to really hate it.

9. Do you have any tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your computer or blog?

I’ve mentioned AutoHotKey. It’s useful for typing out text you use often—HTML is the perfect example. I like Launchy to some extent, but it’s not as intuitive as I would like it to be. I think the secret to computing is to learn and use shortcut keys!

Bonus question: No icons on your desktop?! Why is that?

First, I don’t keep my files in My Documents and those Windows-created folders under my user profile. I don’t like a cluttered desktop so I hide all the icons on it. But I put Stickies on it. Not perfectly clean, but useful.

Full review below (emphasis mine):

Your Existing Situation

Readily participates in things affording excitement or stimulation. Wants to feel exhilarated.

Your Stress Sources

The existing situation is disagreeable. Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the rank and file. Her control of her sensual instincts restricts her ability to give herself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow herself to merge with another. This disturbs her. as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; she feels that only by continued self-restraint can she hope to maintain her attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for herself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Circumstances are forcing her to compromise, to restrain her demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things she wants.

Wants to broaden her fields of activity and insists that her hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that she may be prevented from doing what she wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore her confidence.

Feels that she is burdened with more than her fair share of problems. However, she sticks to her goals and tries to overcome her difficulties by being flexible and accommodating.

Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

Your Desired Objective

Longs for tenderness and for a sensitivity of feeling into which she can blend. Responsive to anything esthetic and tasteful.

Your Actual Problem

Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem.

Your Actual Problem #2

Needs to achieve a stable and peaceful condition, enabling her to free herself of the worry that she may be prevented from achieving all the things she wants.

Take Back Your Time Day

Take Back Your Time Day, October 24, is a project of the Center for Religion, Ethics and Social Policy of Cornell University. In this annual observance, people are encouraged to either take the day off or carve out some time for themselves, preferably spent with friends in congenial surroundings. According to the project, useful and creative work is essential to happiness; however, American life has gotten way out of balance. Producing and consuming more have become the single-minded obsession of the American economy, while other values — strong families and communities, good health and a clean environment, active citizenship and social justice, time for nature and the soul — are increasingly neglected.

(I won’t tag 5 friends.)

* I could file it under 1 holiday but Take Back Your Time Day is a revelation. I better celebrate that on my birthday this year!
