Skiving Or Having A Well-Earned Break

Snagged fron enomis57, and because it's got to be better than the last one of these I did. Hasn't it?!

You Are Likely an Only Child

At your darkest moments, you feel frustrated. At work and school, you do best when you're organizing. When you love someone, you tend to worry about them. In friendship, you are emotional and sympathetic. Your ideal careers are: radio announcer, finance, teaching, ministry, and management. You will leave your mark on the world with organizational leadership, maybe as the author of self-help books.

The Birth Order Predictor

Well I am an only child, so it's got one thing right. And I'd like to reorganize the sentence "You are likely an only child", so that's another. I've tried the career in finance, and we didn't like each other much. And I'll shortly be publishing my self-help book, called 'Living In A Tan World - How To Fake Tan Your Way Through Life,' by Gilpin.

And I expect you all to buy it or my robots will get you ... ;)

I've decided I resent you because you're trying to impose tan on me, and I just burn.

Will you lend your robots for when my book comes out?

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

How can you resent me after it's me you've got to thank for being a Commontater?

Don't worry, these robots are being trained for many special things. There will be no more injustice, unfairness etc., just one big, happy tan-coloured world. ;)

Sounds like a dicTATERship if you ask me. ;)

I'm beginning to wonder if that icon shouldn't have read 'Beware the power of tan!'

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

The maker of that icon has a lot to answer for, you know. ;) Any news on my animated one as I don't want to wear tan out and turn it beige?

I think she's beginning to realise that - after a day offline and coming back to find a messy comments explosion had occured all over mrstater's journal. Poor girl had that to mop up, as well as her skirt.

There was every good intention of watching the animated icon training video yesterday, unfortunately, something got in the way. So it's been rescheduled to one night this week, but a theoretical breakthrough was made today.

Really? I had no idea. Still I'm very new to the LJ World, and I'm so busy with my robots I haven't had chance to get involved in anything much yet. Of course, that sort of thing was one of my fears about this, and why I was a bit surprised two particular people kept nagging me to get one ... ;)

Yay! I'm thinking flashing tan tights here ... Of course, in the meantime, I've had another tasteful icon made to keep me going. ;)

Oh, this one was waaaaay off for me. I got the same result that you did - unfortunately I'm the middle of eight children. Highly amusing.

I can't fake a tan to save my life, given my tendency to glow in the dark, so I'll just have to resign myself to the inevitable attack-by-robot. :P

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

Eight? Wow! My Mum is the oldest of eight, so I do have millions of cousins, most of whom I've never met. And, hopefully, one might be Sirius. ;)

I'm going to need the Fake Tan Book myself as on the rare occasions I try, I prove beyond all doubt that the words 'streak-free' do not apply to me. They're very friendly robots though, as far as World Dominators go... ;)

Fake tans on me look stripy orange. Thank goodness my power color is lilac. Oh, wait. Lilac skin? Can your robots make pale skin "in" again ... permanently?

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

Fear not! My robots can do anything; in fact, I've now got His and Her Robots as you can see in my stunning new icon. Besides, I feel a bit sorry for you being liliaceous - from my slightly hazy recollection of lessons in Agricultural Science at school (don't ask, we're in the country here;)), I seem to think you're now related to an onion ... ;)

On a more serious note, ladybracknell, mrstater and I will soon be forming the 'Pale But Interesting' Community for those of a pastel shade. Feel free to join. :)

Will our theme tune be James Brown singing 'It's a Tan, Tan, Tan World'?

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

'...But it would be nothing without a pale woman or a girl?'

Yeah. Got to be!

[bratanimus.livejournal.com]

Excellent! I love onions and I think they are sadly underrated. Besides, onions go with everything ... just like tan. ;)

I would be honored to join the Pale But Interesting Community. Thanks! :D

This was off for me. I got first born, but I'm the baby. I only have one sister so it's not like I'm the baby with lots of older siblings spoiling me, but I have so many of the stereotypical youngest traits I'm a bit surprised this pegged me as an eldest child.

If your robots can somehow get money into my bank account after I finish purchasing all my school textbooks for the semester, I will gladly buy your book. Until the money shows up...

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

If it wasn't for the amazing power of tan that I've discovered, I'd almost say all of these are a complete load of rubbish. ;)

So I have to pay you to buy my book, do I? Sounds reasonable to me, I'll have a word with the robots and see what I can do. Although they're a bit busy at the moment trying to tone everything plum-coloured down a bit ...

[bratty-jedi.livejournal.com]

I have so little in this world that I'm afraid I won't give up my plum without a fight. In fact, I may have to up the plumness (yes, that is a work because I said so) of my life.

[bratty-jedi.livejournal.com]

By the by, it just dawned on me that I haven't ever actually friended you. Would you mind if I rectify that?

[gilpin25.livejournal.com]

A robot is on its way to friend you as you're clearly very plummy. :)
