Ukiyo is a rather impetuous urban culture that has bloomed in popularity. Although the Japanese were more strict and had many prohibitions it did not affect the rising merchant class and therefore became a floating art form that did not bind itself to the normal ideals of society.</span></p><br /><p>People that chose Ukiyo-e art tend to be more simplistic yet elegant. They don't care much about new style but are comfortable in creating their own. They like the idea of living for the moment and enjoy giving and receiving pleasure. They may be more agreeable than other people and do not like to argue. They do not mind following traditions but are not afraid to move forward to experience other ideas in life. They tend to enjoy nature and the outdoors. They do not mind being more adventurous in their sexual experiences. They enjoy being popular and like being noticed. They have their own unique style of dress and of presenting themselves. They may also tend to be more business oriented or at the very least interested in money making adventures. They might make good entrepreneurs. They are progressive and adaptable.</p></div><p><a href="http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/what-your-taste-in-art-says-about-you-test">Take What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test</a> at <a href="http://www.helloquizzy.com/"><b style="color:#131313"><span style="color:#ac000c">H</span>ello<span style="color:#ac000c">Q</span>uizzy</b></a></p> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tigerethereal:87133 2008-10-22T12:44:03Z 2008-10-22T12:57:12Z Crimson and green<br />Flow the caped king<br />Overlooking the autumn scene<br /><br />Rush the river<br />Water rough<br />Leaves hush<br /><br />Braveheart stag warriors fate<br />Listening for fall<br />Winter may wait<br /><br />Upward the mountain<br />Near the night sky<br />Breaks the moon waiting to fly<br /><br />Harvest veiled long nights sway<br />Firelight warms magic awaits<br />Beasts settle soon in winters moon<br /><br />Time to ponder plan and state<br />Wonder and wish next tides fate<br />Growth and wonder no one waits<br /><br />Steady and whole<br />We will brave the cold<br />Knowing the circle as told<br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/tigerethereal/pic/0001cgkt/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tigerethereal/pic/0001cgkt/s320x240" width="320" height="213" border="0" /></a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tigerethereal:86818 2008-10-07T14:12:34Z 2008-10-07T14:12:34Z mysic eyes Ascend the pines upward spiraling moon<br />Wings ethereal sail I swoon<br />Bright is her light path-working climb<br />Eyes see when times were blind<br /><br />Guided by air direction inspire<br />Fire glows encourage desire<br />Water her chalice life flows<br />Earth by nature rooted I grow<br /><br />Upward the stars and planets show<br />New direction this night goes<br />Harvest is blessed sacrificial night<br />Bless our season feasted right<br /><br />I see though blind<br />I hear yet deaf<br />I felt the fire yet numb<br />A reawakening renew rejoice<br /><br />Hail the goddess and god tonight<br />Alas mi lady mi lord respectfully right<br />Remiss my laden enlightened so bright<br />Gathering my sisters and brothers forgive my slight<br /><br />Blessings<br /><br /><br /> <br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/tigerethereal/pic/0001b6d9/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tigerethereal/pic/0001b6d9/s320x240" width="320" height="240" border="0" /></a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tigerethereal:85948 2008-06-19T13:14:37Z 2008-06-19T13:14:37Z Stand on the edge of a cliff<br />Overlooking the lush jungle below<br />Smell and then hear a distant waterfall<br />Bright colors of the hibiscus capture your soul<br />The greens from emerald to the sweetest leaf<br />A single cloud floats by<br />Bougainvillea surrounds with colors splashed<br />Blues draw you to the river below<br />So crystal and serene<br />Light dances from it so<br />Tropical birds caress the sky<br />Such beauty orchestrated by Gaia<br /><br /><a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/tigerethereal/pic/00019dfd/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/tigerethereal/pic/00019dfd/s320x240" width="320" height="240" border="0" /></a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:tigerethereal:85552 2008-06-18T18:27:07Z 2008-06-18T18:27:07Z <p><em>Your result for The What Middle Earth race do you belong to Test...</em></p><h3>The What Middle Earth race do you belong to Test</h3><p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://cdn.okcimg.com/php/load_okc_image.php/images/550x277/550x277/0x0/0x0/0/7026020748216971807.jpeg" width="" height="" /></p><div>You're an Elf!
