You are a Earthbender!
The first earthbenders were taught by the Badgermoles. Earthbenders are strong, and face combat head on with direct attacks. Rooting is an important concept in earthbending: Being able to connect to the earth yet move freely like a tree. Some earthbenders rely on muscle alone when they bend, while the more powerful earthbenders will wait and listen to the earth. Your result for The Steampunk Style Test... The Gadgeteer39% Elegant, 41% Technological, 37% Historical, 36% Adventurous and 37% Playful!
You are the Gadgeteer, the embodiment of steampunk technology. Ironically, many of the things that most define your style are probably too large to easily carry about, but given the opportunity you would prefer to be seen surrounded by boiler engines, gear-driven calculators, and incredible automata. Of all the steampunk fashion styles, you place the greatest emphasis on technological accessories, and you are the most likely to create elaborate gadgets that are as much a part of your outfit as your clothes. You probably have goggles, but unlike most people you consider them to be for more than decoration. Whereas most people might look odd carrying a satchel of tools around, for you they may well be essential. Above all, you remind everyone that what sets the genre apart from Victoriana is simply the level of technology.

Had to do a doubletake I saw this image while scrolling down Mitch's LJ, and thought, "Hey, there's a picture of Heather!" (She has the best Kaylie outfit *Rowr!*) |

More Cavemen Adventures Josh needed to go to Hobby Lobby to buy a decorative hinge. Josh: This Hobby Lobby sucks. The one in Stillwater has more stuff. Me: What are you talking about? They have the same inventory. Josh: No they don't. I'm going to tell the people here to order more of the stuff we like. Me: Like what? Josh: Like knick-knacks and shit. Later at the bank teller drive-thru Josh: Tell them I need $200 Me: Do you have a withdrawal slip? Josh: No. Just tell them I want $200 Me: You'll have to write a check for 'CASH'. Josh: What?! Why?! I've never had to do that before! Me: Just trust me. On the way home: Josh: I wish Edmond had some parks. Me: What are you talking about? It has, like, 4 parks. Josh: Nuh-uh! Me: We live next door to one. You walk by it on your way home from school! Josh: I mean big, *fancy* parks. |

Things Josh Learned Today 1. Don't Microwave Tinfoil 2. Don't turn on the garbage disposal when there is a spoon in it. 3. Really Hot Water hurts. As a side note, Josh had to clean out his keyboard, in the sink, because of the melted peanut butter that got in the keys from his grilled peanut-butter, chocolate, and honey sandwich. He still hasn't explained why there was a jar of peanut butter in the bathroom, and the jar of nutella in the couch. He just giggles whenever I ask. |

Christopher Walken's 12 days of Christmas The First Day The partridge, the pear tree. I trust both have arrived safely on this First Day of Christmas. The partridge, unfortunately, required mounting for shipping. Taxidermy. I had to strangle the poor bird with my own two hands. Sometimes small cruelties must be tolerated for the greater holiday good—in this case, pears. The Second Day May the two beautiful turtle doves, enclosed, enliven your Second Day of Christmas. I have recorded their mournful songs on a compact disc, also enclosed, so you will understand why I found it necessary to smother them. These birds—these birds could drive you fucking crazy. The Third Day The three French hens have been prepared and dressed for oven or broiler, as you will. But the holiday fun does not stop there, my friend. I have removed the heads myself. With an axe. And I have decorated them, festively, as Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus. Please, enjoy. The Fourth Day Fourth Day. Four calling birds. Listen. Are they calling? No. But the silence is, in its own way, a kind of Christmas. The Fifth Day I have taken special care to select the five golden rings, enclosed, because I know you treasure the better things in life. Four are from the world's finest jewelers. The fifth was my grandfather's. It is of special sentimental value to me, because I had to exhume his corpse to retrieve it. An unfortunate bureaucratic slipup, by an unfortunate fucking bureaucrat. The Sixth Day On this Sixth Day of Christmas, six geese sit a-laying on your front lawn. Eggs. I have always admired these elegant, graceful white waterfowl. It saddens me that the hatchlings will not emerge before I send workmen to burn the nests. The Seventh Day On the Seventh Day, God rested. But the seven swans presently a-swimming in your pool do not rest. They will not climb out of the water, nor will they stop moving. Why? Because the lead weights I have tied to their legs, the amphetamines in their feed, assure you of a full day of Christmas entertainment. The Eighth Day The small American dairy farm has, tragically, disappeared forever. Therefore, most of the eight maids a-milking appear courtesy of the good people at La Leche League, to whom I have made a generous donation in your name. For the remainder, I have called in a personal favor from the publisher of Lactating Mamas magazine. Distasteful. But it is, after all, Christmas. The Ninth Day Nine. Ladies, Dancing. Nine sterling examples, one might think, of the female form in motion. But who is that tall, strikingly handsome woman in green? It is I, Christopher Walken. In Peter Pan drag. The Tenth Day On this, the Tenth Day of our Christmas adventure, the ten lords a-leaping represent every walk of American street life. The gambler, the bookmaker, the dealer and the junkie. The ambitious gangster, the implacable crime lord, and the common thug. The crooked cop, the arsonist, and the con man. Their nimble hops, always one step ahead of Johnny Law, are what the season is all about. Merry Christmas. The Eleventh Day Eleventh Day. Eleven pipers. Piping. Not a-piping, mind you. But piping hot. Like soul-searing New Orleans jazz. Like a boiling glass of absinthe. Like me. Happy Holidays. The Twelfth Day On this Twelfth Day, I am filled with ennui. Twelve drummers, merely drumming; too easy, perhaps. Which is why I have, at great personal risk, imported drums made from human skin. They produce a sound like no other; the sound of a tiny bamboo cage in a fetid jungle prison, where hope dies anew with each cruel dawn. It's the sound of pain, frustration and disappointment. The sound of Christmas. ![]() |
