2:23 pm	Such a stoopid quiz... This quiz discriminates against singers, doesn't allow for being interested in science/math but not good at it, and asks how many *books* you read a month instead of how many *pages* or for how many *hours*, which would be much more accurate. Nur. But still, I took it, and post my results, because I'm crazy. What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd   Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

7:29 pm	Bess' Quotes This is Tory posting Bess' quotes because Bess is a nidjut and got herself grounded and is now making me post her quotes. And I'm not going to read them because Bess is a control freak. "I mean, sociopaths can come off as charming, wonderful people." "Like Jack the Ripper!" Ms. Pysch Teacher, Ramona "What if you had your period?" "You swam anyway." "What if you couldn't put in a tampon?" "Oh my God! *cowers*" "OK! Back to physics!" Arielle, Rodie, Arielle, Mark, Rodie (this was funnier in class...) "If you were squaring the whole thing you'd have parentheses." "If you were squaring the whole thing you'd shut up." Jesse, Mark "Maybe he's cranky because he has his period." Arielle (said of Mark) "See, you guys laugh now, but you'll be crying when cone hats are cool again!" Mark "And which rule is that?" "Um...the whatchamacallit." "That's it! That's the one!" Mr. Algebra Teacher, Stephen, Mr. Algebra Teacher (ZOMG algebra class quote!) That is all. Bess failed this week. Six quotes. Puh.

Been reading fanfiction...I surrendered to my addiction by decreeing that I could read fanfiction, but ONLY on Fridays. Adoptme dot fucking com is driving me INSANE!!! This test works surprisingly well...most of this is true, except possibly the new experiences thing. The Godzilla cult never updates their lj's anymore! Wow, I've been reading Bess' CTY quotes on her lj, and it's strange how it doesn't feel that long ago. Father issues, anyone? I got this from Sharon...'tis awesome! This reminded me to put some people on my friends list...*goes to do that* Well that was bizarre. And not a particularly flattering image of me...ah, well. Current Mood: befuddled (Comment on this)

11:12 pm	Your Expression Number is 3 A natural performer, your destiny lies in writing, speaking, acting, or teaching. Imaginative and unique, you have a natural creative talent in the arts. You're also a natural salesperson. You can easily sell your ideas and yourself. A total optimist, you are enthusiastic about life and living. You are friendly and social - and people are taken by your charm. Your role in life is to inspire, motivate, and raise others' spirits. At times, you can seem a bit superficial. Sometimes you're a bit unfocused and too easygoing. You're best off when you don't dwell on trivial matters, especially gossip. What's Your Expression Number? Not sure how accurate this is...

3:48 pm	Wow, I've been reading Bess' CTY quotes on her lj, and it's strange how it doesn't feel that long ago. It feels like I'm going to wake up tomorrow and see everybody again...Emily, Soupy, Tigg, Danny, Sharon, NoT, Paul...everybody. And yet what's really going to happen when I wake up tomorrow is I'm going to be very confused because it will be *dark* out. Stupid school. It really doesn't feel like I ever left. I suppose the e-mailing helps. I'm so glad everybody kept in touch. Makes things easier. I'm also listening to CTY canon. "In Your Eyes," specifically. W00t! Current Mood: nostalgic Current Music: In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:53 am	Your Element Is Air You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly. Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful. You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person. With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that! What's Your Element? Current Mood: bored (Comment on this)

3:40 pm	What Your Face Says At first glance, people see you as driven and ambitious. Overall, your true self is reserved and logical. With friends, you seem dramatic, lively, and quick to react. In love, you seem intelligent and a bit intimidating. In stressful situations, you seem sad and helpless. What Do People Think Of Your Face? I have no idea if this is any way accurate...I'm not sure it is. What do you think? I'm supposed to be cleaning my room right now... Current Mood: too much to do!! (Comment on this)
