20Q

1. What does your LJ nickname mean?

The icon says it all. Thessaly, last of the Thessalian witches, woman feared by all the gods. She comes from the messed-up head of Neil Gaiman, and looks a bit like I used to before I got my hair hacked off. It's Thessalian because Thessaly was taken.

2. Elaborate on your icon photo.

I think it speaks for itself, thanks.

3. Did you lie about your age anywhere on the net?

People do that? How horribly sad.

4. How many LJ friends do you have?

Enough so that filters are a definite must.

5. What is your current status?

Physical: Fat but not overly unfit
Mental: "a bit of a space case", apparently
Emotional: Varied
Relationship: With someone

6. What are you wearing right now?

Still in my nightshirt. Must shower, then change. Too busy to worry about clothes right now.

7. What is life to you?

It isn't anything in particular; it just is. Philosophy is all very well, but right now I'm just trying to remember what graphic card I run.

8. What is love to you?

I could be really sarky and say "a many splendoured thing", but I think I'll drop the typical sarky stuff and just say, "Something worth the effort, no matter what people think".

9. What kind of people do you hate most?

The ignorant, rude and thoughtless.

10. What type of people do you like most?

Space cases just like me. People who think. Creative types.

11. What makes you happy?

Good friends, good food, good music, writing binges and hockey matches.

12. Are you musically-inclined?

Yeah, pretty much.

13. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found out that the person you love most didn't exist, or was killed?

If they didn't exist, does that mean they never existed? If not, or if the second option, I have no idea. Probably curl up into a little ball and refuse to talk to anyone for a very, very long time.

14. If you could go back in time and change ONE thing, what would you do?

Absolutely nothing. There's no way of telling how that one little change would work out.

15. If you MUST be an animal for ONE day, what will you be?

Dolphin, probably. Swim, play, eat, grin...

16. Ever had a near-death experience?

Sort of, but not of the variety you probably mean. (Whoever did this had a real melodramatic streak, hmm?)

17. Name ONE obvious personality quality you have.

That whole caregiver "Jewish mother" streak.

18. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?

"Crash & Burn", Savage Garden

19. Are you happy today?

Pretty much, yeah.

20. Who will cut and paste this next?

What am I, a mind-reader? If it was a quiz, I'd say either [livejournal.com profile] angusabranson or [livejournal.com profile] corone, as they're addicted to the bloody things, but as it's something that requires more effort than clicky-click, maybe [livejournal.com profile] purpleperil.

Really must get moving. Just wish I knew what graphics card I run. I'm going to have to take this bastard thing apart again, aren't I? Bollocks.

You can figure out what video card you have by opening up the screen to change resolution (Display control panel, right tab) and you can usually see some text on the lower leftish side that'll tell you. If that dosen't work click on "Advanced" - more detailed info is on one of the first tabs.

Also the device manager can tell you all the chips in a system, but that's in different places in different branches of Windows.

Tried that. No drivers. Therefore it has no damn clue. This has to be done the old-fashioned way.

Yup... time for a driver hunt! Good luck ^_^
