which "lost" character are you?

heh! my fav character, too.

Locke
You are Locke. A mystery within a mystery. You're

a fountain of backgammon trivia and an expert

with knives. You might like pina coladas and

definitely like getting caught in the rain.

You prefer keeping to yourself mostly, but

you'll tell your secrets to the right person.

Are you evil? Your accompanying soundtrack

sure is sinister.


Which Lost Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla


okay, so seriously, of all the characters, locke is the most compelling to me. don't read on if you don't want spoilers!

the others have all done something wrong in their lives, are are inadequate in some way. charlie - er, sorry- jack has issues with his father, and probably with his wife, too (i haven't gotten that far yet). Kate, well, she's got a lot of issues - she's on the lam, for starters, and killed her best friend through carelessness, and sawyer is just, well, "screwed up" comes to mind. Even Saiid (spelling?) has something going on - he's responsible for the death of one of his close friends. they've all got some heavy burden to bear, some way that they are inadequate.

but not locke. he's different. he's there for a purpose, you see, and that purpose is to drive the other's development. in a way, he's the shaman, where the others are the vision questers. granted, this may change in the next season - i've only just finished season 1.

i also sympathize with locke. like him, i feel like i was put on this planet ill equipped to handle "ordinary" life. all my interests, many of my skills would be useful in a post-apocalyptic world. i think i could survive on an island, even kick some ass, if i dare say so myself.

blog hunger

okay, i really miss blogging. i have another blog but because of server issues i can't post to it until i figure out what's going on. and that could take forever.

i found a song the other day that i had lost 10 years ago. i loved the song, used to play over and over, and then one day, i misplaced the song and i couldn't find it again. see, i thought it was recorded on a certain tape, and when i listened to that tape years later, it no longer had the song. i figured i had accidentally recorded over the song (though somewhere deep inside i was convinced this was not so!!)

then my cd player in my car broke down, so i scrounged up a bunch of old tapes from storage. as i was driving to santa cruz the other day, i popped a random tape into my car's cassette player. and there was the song. i was flabbergasted, overjoyed. how had that happened? it seemed like a gift of serendipity.

anyway, the song isn't as good as i remembered it being. wouldn't you know it!
