I wouldn't describe myself as a typical risk-taker, or thrill seeker. A little bit of it, a yearning for new experiences, but I have far too good an imagination at times to be able to comfortably take risks. Or at least ill considered ones. The rest is pretty much spot on.

No real argument here. Except, well, you get alot of different sorts of soundtrack stuff. It varies greatly, and some of it I love dearly. I can see what sort they're thinking of and throwing in here, but not all of it matchs with that.

Well, apart from the introversion and some detail orientation, and *looks a little uncomfortable* my level of assertiveness when compared to the norm in a given situation can change, but apart from those, this couldn't have been further from the mark. Okay, I am a bookworm. And I value intellect, but not exclusively. I suppose being labeled as conservative in nature rankled a bit. I will mention that some electronica is fine and dandy as far as I'm concerned. Enough! I've done my commentary, lol
