You are a WECF--Wacky Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a candle burning at both ends. You work until you drop, and you play until you can stand to work again. You have so much enthusiasm that you can find it hard to control on your own, and you appreciate the guidance that channels your energy and lets you be your best.

In a relationship, you require lots of attention and support. You often over-contribute and end up feeling depleted and cheated. You may benefit from more time alone than you grant yourself.

Your driving force is the emotional support of others--especially affection. You can run on empty for miles if you have positive energy behind you. Without it--as it occasionally must run dry--you are depressive, listless, and difficult to motivate.

You need a lot of affection. Get it any way you can, but never at the cost of your self-respect or well-being.

Although, to be fair, that just might sum up a majority of fandom ;)

Almost done with Dark Is Rising (poor, sweet Will - and what is it about 11 year old characters being angst ridden and strong?) Almost done with story - I wrote a great section today, and my little head is plotting plotting plotting for the next one already. I got two "Jeeves and Wooster" tapes from the library today - I've always wanted to see those. AND I ordered "Maurice" - the EM Forster adaptation from the late '80's that is slash canon and very romantic in an angsty way. Whee!

I think I will officially dub this summer break The Summer of Multimedia and Creativity. TSoMaC - has a nice ring to it.

Happy Canada Day, you dahlings north of the border.!

I love Maurice! The novel, anyway, I've never seen the movie. I devoured everything by Forster after "Howards End" came out and I've always been so sad that he only wrote six novels. I hope the movie's good--the novel is excellent.

The movie's great - my gay best friend and I rented it on a regualr basis and swooned every time. Since there is actual boy kissing involved. Instead of fade to black right before it.

I haven't seen it in a really long time, though.

[misslucyjane]

Boy-kissin'. Mmm.

Who's the lead actor in it? I can picture his face . . .Rupert something?

[vivien]

James Wilby (Maurice), Rupert Graves and Hugh Grant. It's yummy.

Ah yes. I remember the pictures from a book on Merchant/Ivory films. Yowza.

Hey, I'm the mod of milliways_bar. I received your application to join, but we're only taking character journals as members- nothing is going to be locked, so feel free to watch if you don't want to play. If you *do* want to play joooooooin ussssssss... then let me know. *g*

I can't ever think of the name Maurice without that darn Space Cowboy song starting up in my head. Damn Steve Miller.

And thanks for the Canada Day wishes... and thanks for not calling it Dominion Day like they did on the Buffalo news. Damn Buffalo, all they're good for is wings... ...and pop art... ...and Ani Difranco. We're going to head to Niagara actually for the end of the Friendship Festival and the 4th. Fireworks are so much better there than here.

Thanks! I was going to watch, but then I decided what the heck and got a character journal :) I'm joining up as we speak.

[vivien]

HA! Happily (yet bizarrely) it's pronounced Morris in the movie, so that is not so much an issue. But that was pretty funny ;)

Hey, do I need to friend you or is your journal still Jumps and Cuts?

[jmcgarry.livejournal.com]

Well, I really only got the lj thing as aevalin suggested it for friendslocked posts, so I could actually read them and not have to ask tigerlilyaj what the heck was going on. So, friend away, but the main journal is still jumpsandcuts. LJ is sorta fun though, I filled up the Interests (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=jmcgarry) thing pretty quickly.
