my username is extracted from this beauty of a song.

Spoiler for risky business, all this waiting, wondering:


Also I'm a devoted fan of Sparks and not ashamed to admit that I absolutely melted away when I met the Mael bros (and now I have a serious addiction to aging rockers).


also I have no idea what my name really means so I went on this weird website that (probably using generic terms) described me with eerie accuracy.

Your first name of Rissa has made you a friendly, approachable, and generous person.

Spoiler for but wait, there's more - commentary in italics:
Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be blunt and sarcastic. My tolerance really only goes so far. Really.

As you are naturally talkative, you find it easy to meet and make friends with many people.
This is the only one that stands out as total bull, or maybe it's just because I can't tell if people think I'm their friend or whatever.

This name inclines you to be sympathetic and generous to those in difficult or unfortunate circumstances.
Because I've been there, done that, and I genuinely relate to people who know what pain is.

You can be firm, positive, and independent in your own ideas and in reaching your own decisions, yet when it comes to taking action or following things through to completion, you often need encouragement.
I live in my own little world but I have a lot of problems making decisions, all the time. Thankfully the person closest to me also knows exactly what I need.

You respond quickly to kind words or any appreciation shown you.
I always blush and thank them; it doesn't matter who they are or how long I've known them. I'm so grateful for the kindness of others.

There are artistic, creative abilities in this name that you could express through music or singing, or, in a practical way, through sewing or interior decorating.
I used to sing a lot (every day, in fact). I also love writing, and interior decorating. I love digital photo manipulation as well. I love creating stuff, arranging things (but I can't draw).

You enjoy freedom from monotony and are stimulated by unexpected opportunities for meeting people, entertaining, or pursuing activities of a carefree nature.
Sometimes this is true, but I like routine things - change makes me so anxious (but it's a different story when I'm manic).

In your work, you find it difficult to be neat and orderly.
Sort of. I know where I put things, and I have my own order of things. But it all gets tidied up properly in the end, so...

You rarely plan things ahead of time, or follow a routine.
Pretty much. I'm always right on time, never early, never late. I always say I'd like to do things but then I change my mind. I don't really have structure but I think that's the only thing that could really help me out sometimes.

Emotion and feeling, the desire to be carefree, friendly, and happy, are the driving forces in your being, rather than shrewdness, ambition, and material success.
Pretty much. I feel like most people lack emotional depth. I don't feel like a pessimist for saying that; it's a definite reality. People are so disconnected from what really matters, and it makes me sick.

You could experience headaches, or problems with your teeth, ears, eyes, or sinuses.
Constant headaches, crooked, sick teeth (whiter than white but disease runs in the genes), terrible vision (I'm practically blind at this point) and I'm sure it's just my adopted west coast accent that makes me sound nasal. But yeah. More than anyone really needed to know but whatever, man. It is what it is.

Health weaknesses relative to the functioning of the liver could appear.
Well, I do enjoy my liquor. And I can't function without ibuprofen.
