In fact, I'm so weird, I lemminged over to the Manga icon generator thingy and made a manga icon for myself. I think I still like the illustrated icon better though.
So, yduras, your LiveJournal reveals...
You are... 1% unique and 20% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy writing). When it comes to friends you are a total whore. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is intellectual.
Your overall weirdness is: 21
(The average level of weirdness is: 27.
You are weirder than 47% of other LJers.)
Find out what your weirdness level is!
- Ratings and Impressions of my Name

If I were more popular, I'd try to start this one as a meme!
I went to behindthename.com, and looked up my name.
- It told me:
- Gender: Feminine
- Usage: English, Scandinavian, German
- Pronounced: SIL-vee-ə (English)
- Usage: English, Scandinavian, German
(It also told me I was supposed to spell it with an i, although "This has been the most common English spelling since the 19th century." )
I also clicked on the "Ratings and Impressions" link. I found out I am:
Refined (85%), Formal (85%), Wholesome (81%), Classic (79%), Upperclass (76%), Serious (74%), Mature (74%), Strange (74%), Natural (71%), Nerdy (67%), Complex (61%), Strong (54%)Interestingly, if I change to the 'i' spelling, it changes to:
Refined (81%), Serious (79%), Classic (76%), Formal (72%), Wholesome (71%), Upperclass (70%), Mature (69%), Natural (67%), Strange (56%), Simple (54%), Strong (54%), Nerdy (51%)The big changes are that with the 'y' spelling, I see a big rise in Strange, Nerdy, Formal and Wholesome. The only axis change is that I become Complex instead of Simple.
I think if I were to go meme-spreading with this, I'd probably simplify it to:
Replace 'yourname' in the following URL with your name: http://www.behindthename.com/rating/view.p

Stolen from
ishldgetoutmore. This may be the origin.Bold all items that apply to you...

- Had more than two kinds of lessons before you turned 18
I don't know... does PAL Soccer count? They did teach me to play soccer... - The people in the media who dress and talk like me are portrayed positively.
This one's tricky, too. 'like me' is hard to define. If you mean white people of my social class, then yes. If you mean females or geeks, then no. - Had a credit card with your name on it before you turned 18.
- Your parents (or a trust) paid for the majority of your college costs.
- Your parents (or a trust) paid for all of your college costs
- Went to a private high school
- Went to summer camp.
- Had a private tutor before you turned 18.
- Family vacations involved staying at hotels.
- Your clothing was all bought new before you turned 18.
Given that my siblings were male, I didn't get a lot of hand-me-downs, but I got some. Mom also used to sew some of my clothes. - Your parents bought you a car that was not a hand-me-down from them.
- There was original art in your house when you were a child.
I am going to assume that original art created by members of the immediate family (e,g. my mom or my great aunt) don't count. - You and your family lived in a single-family house.
- You had your own room as a child
- You had a phone in your room before you turned 18.
I probably should have bolded this. I had a data line in my room for a while in high school, but didn't keep a phone attached to it. - Participated in a SAT/ACT prep course.
- Had your own TV in your room in high school.
- Owned a mutual fund or IRA in high school or college .
- Flew anywhere on a commercial airline before you turned 16.
- Went on a cruise with your family.
- Went on more than one cruise with your family.
- Your parents took you to museums and art galleries as you grew up.
- You were unaware of how much heating bills were for your family. I knew it was expensive and we kept the house as cool as possible, but not the dollar amount. I knew more about the water bills, actually.
I come out at twenty or a hair over, depending on some of the questions I quibbled on.

I originally thought all the daemons must be ocelots, but I put in a bunch on not-me answers and managed a shrew, so there are others. This is an extra fussy version of the meme where you all have ten days to vote on whether my answers were right before the daemon commits to its shape.
Hooray for complexity.

Gacked from
( Top 50 from 1990 )rhopalocerienne:
Directions: Go to popculturemadness.com and find the Greatest Hits for the year you turned 18. Cleverly note that this is totally US-centric and play along only if you're okay with that. Select the first 50. Bold the ones you like. Strike out the ones you hate. Italicize the ones you are familiar with but neither like nor hate. Leave the ones you don't know as is.It's possible to likely that I'd recognize a lot of the "don't remember" songs if I heard them and just never registered the name of the song or the artist.
