my brain, like the squirrels...and a thousand points of light

[thanate]

I was going to write something poetic about the life and days and friendships and constellations of people, and crazed squirrels getting run over, but in the spirit of all the e-mails I've left half-written sitting around on my desktop, I shall not actually get around to it.

I have now got a business bank account, though. Go me. Everything else I need to do can be accomplished from the comfort of my area of operations, er, which is to say sitting in the middle of my floor (the dolls have invaded the couch again) with my laptop. Probably this is a good thing-- I have been noticing that my driving is a bit off (hence the abandoned squirrel analogy)-- reaction times slightly skewed, pulling out into traffic when I really ought not to... so far I haven't merged into anyone or gotten run over by a bus (although one somewhat deservedly beeped at me earlier) but I think staying off the road for a day or two until I sort out my sleep schedule is likely to be a good idea.

Your result for What's your key signature?...

A Major

Congratulations, you’re A Major, and you got them blues! A Major is an ideal key for playing blues in, due to its decreased number of sharps when played with flat 3rds and 7ths. Guitar players love this key, and several have actually made careers of playing A, D and E chords over and over again in that oh so cliché I IV V progression we all know and love. Being a bluesy key is a blessing, since you can be emotive and soulful out the ass. All that’s missing is a few blue notes and you’re golden..... So you may not have the blues, you say? Well this key isn’t really about sadness, it’s about being individualistic and emotive, with enough soulfulness to go around. You can’t help but be an emotional person, but that’s a great thing. Just don’t stay on the metaphorical blue notes too long, eventually dissonance gets a wee bit obnoxious.
SONG EXAMPLE: Lady Madonna by The Beatles.
INTERESTING TIDBIT: * Despite clarinets being tuned in B Flat, a good number of Mozart’s clarinet based works are written in sharp key signatures, notably including a lot of A Major. I guess he had some sort of grudge against the poor clarinetist he hired.
Take What's your key signature?

This is not the funny part, though. The funny part is that according to the side-bar graphs, I am in the 83rd percentile of interesting. Go figure.

E major: Rar!

Congratulations, you’re E Major, now start pumping out those root notes on the bass. Yes, the quintessential key of rock suits anything that requires loud and low on the bass, high and screechy on guitar, and open fifths on electric keyboard. With 4 sharps it’s not the best key for winds or piano, but with the tuning on guitars, it’s like the two were made for each other. That’s probably why metal, punk and all sorts of hard rock throw down to this key. E is for energy after all, it seems.

So are you, of course. Energy and noise are what you’re all about! Go for the gusto all you want, friend. Overdoing your bubbling over amount of adrenaline can be bad. And don’t run over old people. That’s bad.

SONG EXAMPLE: Pretty much anything in the genres I listed up there.

INTERESTING TIDBIT:
* As if to drive the point home that this is a key to be played on loud amped up instruments, E is incredibly hard to play on the ukulele.

85 for interesting, 86 for aggressive. bwuh? Maybe it was that destroying things question...
