I'm Back

I'm back.  And more than in just the sense that I haven't been on xanga in forever.  Really, it's mostly that my true self has returned.  I've been looking through old entries because one of my friends was doing it, and I thought, good idea.  And then I saw some results from one of the online quizzes, and I thought, that's not me.  Not me at all.  And I took the quiz again, and here I am, back again.

You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.<br />
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life.<br />
You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.<br />
<br />
You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon.<br />
Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall.<br />
You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.<br />
<br />
At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults.<br />
Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion.<br />
A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.
