Hush, Androgyne
I am in deep trouble. I have been pegged. I took the Butch/Femme test (it's Beth's fault) and I scored as an Androgyne - right smack in the middle of the spectrum.
You are the best of both worlds, and have absolutely no feeling of being either femme or butch. You see yourself as "you" and that's all that matters. You dislike labels, surprised yourself by even taking this test, and are now laughing as you identify with this definition!
You switch roles fluidly without thinking from nurturing/subordinate to providing/leading as the situation demands. You are often a jack or jill of all trades and master of a few, but not all.
In clothing you go for the practical, not always bothering with the concept of neatness if that interferes with comfort or the time it takes to get dressed. Wrinkles don't drive you crazy, though you do prefer to keep reasonably up to date in your style, without going to any extreme in it.
You are shy in many ways, being intimidated by overt aggression as well as complete silence in a conversation. You tend to babble to fill silent space and clam up when confronted.
Odds are good astrologically that you are a Libra, Pisces, Gemini, or Aquarius.
You're willing to try anything once as long as it does not pose a risk to you. You're also good at doing just about any job, as long as you find a way to get trained for it. Physically, you're average in fitness, not being overly concerned about being either "curvy" or "chisled". If you are female and have some endowments, you wear a bra in public but not at home.
For partners you are comfortable with all types, for you are a peacemaker and changeling at heart, changing yourself to fit the situation and avoid hostility. You aren't a doormat, though, and do express your opinions.
I don't agree with all of that - for example, I always saw my position as the worst of both worlds - but a lot of it is accurate, in that neutral, newspaper-horoscope sort of way. So of course I am now resentful - I hate being second-guessed, especially if the guesses are right. As the copy says: I dislike labels.
I was going to write about this little survey that Lucy and her friend cooked up - heck, I was even going to answer it, since Molly gave in and since the first question annoys me so badly - but it's time to eat lunch and after that I have to work non-stop because I've only got a few days left in December and I have a nervous breakdown to get on with. So. No time for that now, nor time to write The Millennium Entry.
You'll just have to be patient.
Oh, by the by: You may have a friend who's a rabid Buffy fan, and you're really tired of hearing them babble endlessly about the show. I myself am not a frequent Buffy watcher (although I think it's a good, well-written show, I just don't watch much TV), and you probably can guess my tolerance for fannish enthusiasm in general.
Nonetheless I want to say that I saw the episode "Hush" and it was truly excellent. Believe their babble on this one. This is one where you need to find the videotape one of your friends made of it and have them give you the who's who on the characters and then watch it. It's worth it.
And Beth is not the only one who thinks Willow and her new friend look like they're getting together for more than just moving Coke machines around. Of course, I want Allyson Hannigan for myself, so I'll be jealous no matter who her love interest is.

Jesus was an androgyne
Jesus was a he and she
Jesus was a freako baby
Just like you and me
Jesus was a pagan
Jesus was a priest
Jesus was a beauty
Jesus Jesus Jesus was a beast
