Over-the-knee Boots

I don't know exactly when my love for thigh-high boots started, but I'm sure it was a long while ago. I remember being obsessed with my aunt's over-the-knee boots, so many years ago. I think before my cousin was born. 14 years ago, at least... Wow. And, my general obsession with shoes goes even more far.

Anyway, my point is that, while watching the eighth episode of the fourth season of The Nanny I totally fell in love with the boots she wore towards the end. I love their look, their lenth, everything. I so want them! Take a look at the video below. Seek out the moment 3:54.



So, I've been searching for my favorite boots on shops online. And, here's what I got.




Ooooh, I am in love with those. I absolutely want them. This colour is so unique. It's called Garnet. The black version is also good, though. You can find more colours and see more pictures on URBANOG.com

This one is so awesome, too. Although, they reach just over the knee. They can be found on Polyvore.com




This pair is simpler, but not bad. Not bad at all... On Polyvore.com.



I like these, because they are a bit witch-like, aren't they? Hehe. On snaz75.com


Those are cool, too, but not really for me. On ebay.com

The Sims Personality Test

I'm not so sure that these results are absolutely accaurate for me, but I'll probably take the test again (in an earlier time of the day, because currently I'm pretty sleepy) and we'll see.

For now, these are my results, though:


Neat (vs. Sloppy)
Neat, tidy Sims typically enjoy cleaning up the house or grooming themselves in front of a mirror. There's always something to be done around the house and they'll more often than not be found doing it; great for a house, but it can tire Sims out.

With their constant disregard of cleanliness and hygiene, sloppy Sims are content to simply "be." They tend to enjoy just about anything that doesn't require planning or cleaning up on their part.

-- A score of  5

Outgoing (vs. Shy)
Outgoing Sims are likely to jump headfirst into any situation. Charm and confidence are their best traits and when they're in a friendly mood they enjoy group activities most of all. Keep an eye on these characters, though; outgoing Sims can be too brash, and others aren't always so impressed.

Introspective and quiet, shy Sims often think about the world around them and write in their diaries rather than actually interact with anyone. It may be harder to break out of their shells, but if shy Sims take the time to get to know others they'll be delighted by the social world awaiting them.


-- A score of  5


Active (vs. Lazy)
Active Sims are almost always on the move but need a lot of food and sleep to keep up their hectic pace. They're apt to be happiest while breaking a sweat, an exhausting idea to most other Sims. An active Sim will usually get more enjoyment from watching sports on TV than reading a book.

Lazy Sims have been known to veg out on the couch for hours on end, so naturally, they don't need much sleep to sustain their constant lazying. They still enjoy socializing wiht other Sims and can be persuaded to get out of the house once in a while.

-- A score of  4 (more on the side of Lazy, I guess)


Playful (vs. Serious)
Playful Sims are more likely to find entertainment and fun in the world around them; they tend to be more curious than any other Sim. They may have a lighthearted nature, but they can wear themselves out with their antics, as well as get on their fellow Sim's nerves.

Serious, quiet, thoughtful Sims are more inclined to enjoy logic puzzles and good conversation, but they don't respond too well to chaos or silly behavior. Repairing broken items or working on an important project can keep serious Sims content.

 -- A score of  5

Nice (vs. Grouchy)
Encouraging and generous, nice Sims tend to be easy to get along with and very positive. They'll listen to what other Sims have to say whether it's interesting or not and clean up after dirty roommates. If they don't watch out though, other Sims may take advantage of their good nature.

Grouchy Sims, despite their sour mood, can still be social creatures. They'll probably enjoy teasing a Sim as much as telling a joke. They don't seem to mind when other Sims overreact and they like playing a game as much as anyone else, but be warned: they tend to be sore losers.

 -- A score of  5

Even when she grew up she never totally forgave them or her sister. She decided to never depend on anyone and build her whole life alone, even if her father offered to assist her professionally multiple times. That was mainly the reason why she quit her job as an Intern Healer on St. Mungo's Hospital, where her father also worked, after only three years. Shortly after, she got a job as a Columnist about Magical Creature Care, on Daily Prophet. She is very disciplined and focused on everything she does, which had as a result her being called a workaholic by her colleagues. She also loves working with Magical Creatures more than she does with people, a fact that helps her doing her current job better.

Graduation Year: 1966

Personal History: Elladora Pansy Hampton comes from a Half-Blood family, with more magical members from the side of her father. Herewald Wilfred Hampton, her father, born in 1913, had been an important person in United Kingdom, working as a Healer at St. Mungo's Hospital until his death in 1980. It was there that he met his wife, Irma Porpentia Hampton in 1946. Shortly after Elladora was born. Although she had a happy childhood until the age of 7, in 1955, when her sister Mandy Fleur Hampton (now named Perkins, after her husband) was born. Most of her parents' attention was now concentrated on the new addition of the family, something that left Elladora feeling neglected and abandoned. She dropped the nickname her parents had for her until then, which was "Ella" and never let anyone call her like that again. Her relationship with her sister was never good. After she graduated from Hogwarts and became an adult, she continued on having a cold relationship with her family, although her father offered helped her in her first professional steps. Even after her father's death in 1980 and her mother's in 1982, her bond with her only sister is very weak. Elladora never got married and never even expressed any interest in having children, but she has a soft spot for her youngest niece Demelza Bridget Perkins.

Sample Post: Elladora walked into her office, stopping briefly in front of the glass door to inspect the condition of her hat and hair before closing and walking to her chair. Today she had a difficult case concerning some Merpeople and she wanted to think about the best way to negotiate with them. Totally absorbed in her thoughts, she didn't notice at first the envelope that was sitting on the edge her desk.When she finally took notice of it her eyes shined with happiness at the sight of her youngest niece's handwriting. Demelza never failed to send letters to her, one of the very few things Elladora was grateful for. She decided to put the envelope into her bag, though. She wanted to read it later and in private. Standing up, she brushed away imaginative dust from her skirt and slowly walked back to the door. Elladora was going to have a busy day today.

1995

 A Closer Look at 1995

Our story takes place not too far in the past - only 16 years ago - but as not everyone remembers that far back, we figured we'd provide a bit of a refresher course. While we know this is a fantasy game, we still expect players to keep things moderately realistic when it comes to the time period at hand.

The United Kingdom...

• The average home cost 68,183 Pounds Sterling.
  
• John Major was the Prime Minister.
  
• Homosexuals were still not permitted to serve in the military or adopt a child, and one could not legally change their gender. There were no anti-discrimination laws in place for homosexuals in employment or the provision of goods or services.
• Most firearms are not permitted to be owned or carried off one's own property. Police men use billy clubs instead of firearms.

Around the World...

• Austria, Finland & Sweden act to join the European Union.
  
• Bill Clinton was the president of the United States. (In the wizarding world, this meant a huge leap forward for the Revealing Party.)
  
• Despite some forward movement in the western world, Pro-Gay Rights movements and LGBT organizations are still illegal and activists face government opposition in many countries.

Then and Now

• The most common video format was the VHS Tape.
  
• Top Billboard Artists included Boyz II Men, TLC, Ini Kamoze, and Madonna.
  
• Compact Discs are beginning to replace Cassette Tapes in popularity.
  
• Grunge and Punk fashions increase in popularity, as does the "Rachel" haircut - based on the character from the Friends television show. Flannel is extremely popular, along with wearing hte color black, and sagging, oversized clothing is at an all time high. Blue jeans are the center of the fashion movement.

I was two years old then, but now I'm planning on playing on this time period through Vault 713. How exciting is this?

Which Harry Potter character resembles you?

The Harry Potter Personality Quiz Which Harry Potter character has the same personality type as you? This test is based on the principles of the Myers-Briggs Personality Typing system. I made up the questions myself but they're similar to (and influenced by) the questions you'd find on any other Myers-Briggs-based test. The result of this quiz will tell you not only you personality type but also which major character in Harry Potter has the same personality type, according to my own evaluation of the characters. If you don't like your result, you can find somewhat more official tests by searching the web for "Myers-Briggs." I don't claim to be an authority on this subject. The quiz is just for fun!

http://piratemonkeysinc.com/quiz.php

My Result

You are...

Explanation of the Results:
This type of personality test uses four indexes of personality and the combination of the four is your personality type. The first index relates to how you interact with other people and can be Extroverted (E), meaning you're more outgoing or Introverted (I), meaning you keep more to yourself. The second relates to how you make decisions; whether you're Intuitive (N), getting answers from within, or you rely on Sensing (S) information from your surroundings, using your five senses. The third relates to whether you're more emotional and Feeling (F) or rational and Thinking (T). The fourth relates to whether you prefer things to be organized, meaning you're Judging (J), or you prefer things to be more unbound, meaning you're Perceiving (P).

I usually get the result ISFJ, but, ahem, okay...
So my result should have been more along these lines:

Distribution of Personality Types

Personality Type Distribution in the General Population Type Frequency in Population   ISFJ                 13.8% ESFJ               12.3% ISTJ               11.6% ISFP            8.8% ESTJ            8.7% ESFP            8.5% ENFP           8.1% ISTP        5.4% INFP       4.4% ESTP       4.3% INTP      3.3% ENTP      3.2% ENFJ      2.5% INTJ     2.1% ENTJ     1.8% INFJ     1.5% Data source: "MBTI Manual" published by CPP

The most rare Personality Types are INFJ, followed by ENTJ and INTJ. If your Type is rare, there are two ways to look at this: 1) Your Type is relatively rare and therefore your natural talents should be in great demand. 2) There are not many of you out there, so it may be hard to find people you can truly relate to. If your Type is near the top of the chart on the left: 1) There are a lot of people like you out there in the world. It should be easier to find people who think and behave the way you do. 2) You might find it easier to fit in than an INTJ, or INFJ would.

A few observations: Almost 20% of the female population are ISFJ's. INTJ's and ENTJ's are the rarest personality types for females. Less than 1 out of 100 each.
