Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.



In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent.



At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia.



With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can't take your criticism well.



As far as your looks go, you're coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.



On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.





You Are Dominant Sexy



You are sexy because you are aggressive and focused. You love the chase.

You are very passionate and intense. You tend to become obsessed with whoever you're interested in.



You carry this intensity into the bedroom. You are a highly sexual person.

In fact, you can be a bit too much for some people. You demand a lot, physically.

blog quiz part 2

my quiz results...




Your Ideal Island Vacation is New Zealand



On an island vacation, you want to feel anything but trapped. You need lots of options.

You like a vacation full of adventure, and most islands are too laid back for your taste.



With New Zealand, you'll be busy with extreme sports, good food, and interesting places.

You'll hardly remember you're on an island - unless you're at one of NZ's ruggedly beautiful beaches.







You Are 53% Feminine, 47% Masculine



You are in touch with both your feminine and masculine sides.

You're sensitive at the right times, but you don't let your emotions overwhelm you.

You're not a eunuch, just the best of both genders.






Your Friendship Style is Empathetic



You deeply care about each person you're friends with. For you, friendship is all about the personal connection.

You tend to know everything about your friends' lives... and they know everything about yours. Your friends are your confidants.



You are always there for your friends. You celebrate their successes and support them in their times of need.

You are as loyal as they come. And you expect the same loyalty and understanding from your friends in return.



You and another Empathetic Friend: Have a amazing friendship, when it works. You care for each other deeply, but you often end up with hurt feelings and drama.



You and a Gregarious Friend: May have a bit of a one sided friendship. You adore your Social Friend, but you sometimes feel a bit neglected.



You and an Independent Friend: Struggle a bit. You are very interested in your Independent Friend's life, but your friend often needs more space.



You and a Philosophical Friend: Respect one another. You love to learn about your Philosophical Friend's brilliant ideas.







You Would Do a Little For Love



Yes, love is important to you. But you also want to be loved for who you are.

So you won't be doing a lot of changing or sacrificing for love.

If you're not good enough as is, then it's not really love.







Your Mood is a 5



You're feeling okay. Not great, not bad. Your mood is pretty average right now.






You Are Cute-Sexy!



You are definitely attractive, and you have an interesting mix of sexiness and cuteness.

You are both hot and quirky. Gorgeous and silly. Charming and natural.



You are not so in-your-face sexy that you're unapproachable. You tone things down a bit.

More than anything else, you are real and genuine. And that makes you truly captivating.






You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To



Like most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could.

Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most.

But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you?

It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low.



What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever



What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth

Russian international Arshavin joins Arsenal



Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that Russian international midfielder, Andrey Arshavin has joined the Gunners from Zenit St. Petersburg on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.

Arshavin, 27, who played a key part in Zenit's UEFA Cup winning campaign last season, was also a member of the Russian EURO 2008 squad in which he scored two goals from his three appearances, earning him a place in the 'Team of the Tournament'.

Arshavin won the Russian Premier League with Zenit in 2007, making a total of 232 appearances for his previous club, scoring 51 goals. During his time with Zenit, he was also part of the winning team that picked up the Russian Super Cup in 2008, the Russian Premier League Cup in 2003 and featured in the UEFA Super Cup victory over Manchester United in Monaco last August.

With 41 international caps for Russia, Arshavin has scored a total of 15 goals for his country. His versatility has allowed him to play in a variety of positions; the 2006 Russian Footballer of the Year started his career as a right midfielder, but has since played as an attacking midfielder and more recently has filled the 'second striker's' role.

Manager Arsène Wenger said: "We are delighted to have signed Andrey Arshavin, he is a player I have admired for a long time. He is a versatile player with great experience, who will add real quality to our squad. Andrey is an exciting impact player with a huge amount of ability and has been an influential force with both Zenit St Petersburg and the Russian national team in recent seasons."

After completing his move to the Gunners, Arshavin said: "I am so happy to be joining Arsenal. They are one of the leading football clubs in the world, with a group of fantastic young players and a great manager. I am looking forward to making the Arsenal supporters happy and helping this great Club win trophies."

Ivan Gazidis, Chief Executive of Arsenal Football Club added: "Andrey was identified by Arsène as a quality creative player that would add something special to this youthful but talented squad. The Board has always backed the manager with his transfer targets and we are delighted to welcome Andrey to the Club where he will help us to challenge for honours this season."

Due to his participation in the UEFA Champions League with Zenit St Petersburg this season, Andrey will not be available to play for Arsenal in this competition for the remainder of the 2008/09 season.

Andrey will wear the number 23 shirt.
