Conor Rocks!

2007-02-22T13:47:15Z

The other night @ Flywheel in Easthampton, Aquadora was setting up to play when they asked if there was a drummer in the house, their drummer broke his finger, so my 12 year-old son Conor volunteered!!!

Child of the Night

Congratulations! You scored 68%

So, you think you're pretty cool, huh? Well, chances are, you could be right. You've hung up that tired old cape and swapped it for a sexy leather jacket and a pair of dark glasses that hide your brooding, hypnotic eyes. You may be hundreds of years old, but no-one would ever know...I pity the poor Slayer that ever crosses your path...

Thanks again Sylvari...

You scored as True Alternative. You are a True Alternative! Labels do not suit you well, particularly as you tend to strike your own path and to grow purely via experience. No armchair quarterbacking for you! Originality and creation are your specialities, and sometimes you can even articulate what the hell just happened. Someday you may find yourself drawing the maps for other people... lots of other people.

A Quiz...
http://www.llewellyn.com/free/mpq.php?tab=quiz

Your Q Score is: 9
The Q score ideally should be as small as possible, indicating maximum agreement among elements. However, even a tiny Q score may not mean optimal functioning, since all four elements may in fact be relatively undeveloped.
Your Primary Mythical Creature
Air Types
The main strength of the Air types is intellect. The second element indicates the most probable focus for this intellectual activity.
Unicorn
Air with Water

Astrologically associated with Gemini and the Third House

Unicorn types are very concerned with the communication of ideas. They are witty and likeable but can also be quite shy. They are easily bored and easily distracted, and may seem unpredictable and superficial for this reason. Actually they are very deep and are usually trying to find the connections between the people and things around them. They are highly imaginative but not very practical. They love knowledge for its own sake and are not concerned about putting it to use. They are socially astute and sensitive to others’ feelings, but may still appear somewhat aloof. They are drawn to grand schemes for unifying people but these often don’t extend beyond the initial idea. Very logical and rational, Unicorn types are also unconventional and even bizarre. Other people may regard them as fey or just strange.

Your Shadow Creature
Earth Types
All the Earth types have problems relating to productivity and stability. The weakest element indicates the main focus of these problems.
Wodwose
Earth and Fire

This shadow is beset by inertia and a feeling of hopelessness and stagnation. They are prone to depression linked to apparently insuperable odds. They exhibit an attitude of defeat that is betrayed by their fatalism and pessimism. They often find themselves trapped in a rut of grinding routine. They have no energy or sense of direction. They often alienate others because of their negativity and narrow outlook and because they feel anger and resentment toward them. Passive aggression is used to good effect. They are self-neglectful of their physical needs although they may binge on unhealthy foods and substances. The biggest obstacle of weak Fire is to overcome anger and aggression; the biggest obstacle of weak Earth is to overcome self-centeredness and greed.

Drum is Feeling Better

I got my Drum back from Everyone's Drumming, it was out for a reskinning, since the old head became holy...

So I purchased a Drum Bag for it so it will not be at the mercy of the Elements or small children again... =)

I am personalizing it as well with some artwork, I hope to have it done and re-varnished by the December Drum and Dance.
I'll post pictures when I'm done, as well.

Now back to work on the Drum...
