The results I got were:

Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:

Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. Your life is always full of changes.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You are not a romantic person by nature. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

The 5 million dollar man

Ron Paul raised a truckload of money in the last quarter. And you can be sure these are donations from individuals, not the big professional political donor types.

I'm not sliding

I almost rented a house on this exact block of Soledad Mountain Road. Good thing I didn't. I thought that house looked awfully precariously balanced.

PHOENIX - It sounds like science fiction but it's true: A killer amoeba living in lakes enters the body through the nose and attacks the brain where it feeds until you die.

Take a minute to not destroy the world

I'm a couple of days late on this one (was out of town in the Bay Area the last couple of days).

9/26 is Petrov Day. On 9/26/1983, Stanislav Yavgrafovich Petrov kept the world as we know it from being destroyed. A story that many people are not familiar with and it's worth reading.

Do people still read any of these?

Good overview of America's major newspapers.

Unwinding

A good analysis of the current credit mess, at MSN money.

The Ron Paul File

I added a link on the right side to The Ron Paul File, a clearinghouse for all the information available about the man, as far as I can tell. Check it out.
