It's official - I am a heretic

So, jumping on the hellish bandwagon with everyone else, I did the Dante's Inferno test, and - no surprise to anyone who knows me well - ended up in the City of Dis, where all the devilish non-believers go. What did surprise me was that I came out as moderate on a large number of the other levels - including ones that I wouldn't have thought I had any claim to belong in, namely 3, 4, 8 and 9. This may be me running away from my true nature, but I think it may have had something also to do with the fact that nearly all my answers to the questions in the test were No, and there were only a few that were Yes. So there wasn't really a lot to differentiate between levels. I think I am in the right one however.

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Low
Level 2 (Lustful)	Low
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	Moderate
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	Moderate
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Moderate
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	High
Level 7 (Violent)	High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	Moderate

Take the Dante Inferno Hell Test

Denise and I have just got back from seeing Death Cab for Cutie at the Commodore Ballroom downtown, which is a fabulous building, and one that I hope to be in many more times during my stay in Vancouver. Death Cab, and the band who opened for them (Stars) were fab, and with REM on the way next week, I think my musical social life is faring pretty well. Having vowed to spend no more money, I came back with a T-shirt, but contented myself with the fact that I actually really like it, and it was only $20. Picture on the way when I don't look so rough and it's not half one in the morning.

Thanks to all the people who commented on my last blog on the phenomenon of recognising an action or an expression, but not knowing where your familiarity with it comes from. It's nice to know that I am not the only person in the world who has mental moments like that! It's nice to know that people actually read this site, as sometimes I wonder if I've managed to scare everyone off with previous rants and depressive moments..... I'll have to try harder!

It's also kind of nice to know that everyone whose blogs I have been reading seems to be refusing to conform to the age-old tradition of getting horribly depressed during the winter months, and they all seem to be finding life ok at the moment, with some people even veering (god forbid!) towards actually being happy with how things are going. I'm sure someone will write to me and dispute this, but you all sound fairly sane at the moment! Although I can't say I am as sorted as you guys, things could be worse. So let's hope the good news continues.
