Little boxes

A few days ago in response to a question on a mailing list poll, I wrote:

"10. Good or bad boy?

"Many people in this culture equate 'bad' with 'sexy,' but when I think 'bad' I think lying, cheating, cruel and abusive and I don't see any damn sex appeal in all that. If people don't *mean* bad, I wish they wouldn't *say* bad.

"Grrr... as most of you have guessed, I tend to be put into the 'sweet & innocent' category. Then when I don't blush every time somebody mentions sex, I get moved into the "whore" category because, of course, there are only two types of women, right? Then when I don't express great willingness to rush into bed with some guy, he puts me in the 'bitch' category, which label, coming from the men who usually seem to think this way, I mostly consider an honor."

Also in response to the same poll:

"I didn't answer many questions, did I? Sorry, labels and unnatural black/white situations have been getting on my nerves today. I am weary of people putting themselves and each other into little boxes."

So, naturally, being the hater of little boxes that I am, I've got some more quiz results.


I Am A: Neutral Good Elf Ranger Bard


Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.


Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently conccern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.


Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.


Secondary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.

Looking at the detailed results, it seems there's no chance of me being a human at all. Heh.

Oddly enough, I've never played D&D. I do remember that the teacher who led the D&D club in my middle school tried to strangle me once, but I haven't been holding that fact against all the crazy loony oughtta-be-locked-up role-players of the world ever since, I swear.


One more quiz:

I don't know anything about D & D either - but as to what you say about labels - especially bad boys -- I agree 100 percent!! I think of the same things when I think bad, and it doesn't occur to me to think of bad as sexy. But now you have me thinking that maybe that's what other women mean... I must ask...
