A Special Test Thing.

OK, Dan linked to this quiz thing so I thought I'd have a go. Obviously I'm not Canadian, so not everything applies...

Making it: I'd never do work I didn't believe in.

Saving it: I'm not saving much now, but when I do I'll call the shots.

Stealing it: No, thanks.

Giving it away: Environmental and social causes

I'd like to point out that I'm actually a lot closer to Autonomous Rebels. I won't post everything about them but I will point out that included in the 'Icons' list is a bloke called John Lennon. The Key Values are as follows:

Key Values

Scepticism toward Traditional Institutions
Question Authority
Freedom
Individuality

and this from Money: Making it: I want my work to mean something, but I don't want it to mean everything.

HELLO! THIS IS ME! I only didn't get this list because, as per fecking usual, I'm the wrong generation. Like that was news to me. If I was born thirty years earlier I would've been around for most of rock and roll and I'd be in the same age group as my boys. I coulda gone and helped Jimmy in Paris. As it is, I'll be celebrating his 60th birthday on Monday without him. I'll admit that not everything about the 'Autonomous Rebels' is very me, but it's a lot closer than 'Seattle changed everything' which I don't agree with from any particular point of view. Morph the two together, put some rock and roll on the stereo and I guess you get me.

Must go now. Have to get up tomorrow to post cards and do things in town.
