Your Brain is 60.00% Female, 40.00% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

What Gender Is Your Brain?

The reason I've been stressed the last few weeks?

Job interviews.

The result?

I've got a verbal acceptance in. Will make everything official in a business day or two.

(works on my goodbye email)

(rewrites my goodbye email)

(edits my goodbye email)

Hmmm... looks like I'm gonna need those two weeks to get this one right. ;-)

I know, I know, I need to be writing about Myrtle Beach. I'll get to it. Really. *ducks and runs from wrath of Janice*

You are White Chocolate You have a strong feminine side with a good bit of innocence thrown in. Whether your girlish ways are an act or not, men like to take care of you. You are an understated beauty, and your power is often underestimated! What Kind of Chocolate Are You? Take This Quiz :-) Find the Love of Your Life (and More Love Quizzes) at Your New Romance.

I'll post a full thing about Medieval Times a little later. Just need to brag.

422 words. 40ish minutes.

Guess I can still write.

It's kinda pitiful... I wanted to do This age quiz thingy, but by the 3rd question I had already left two blank. I wouldn't watch any of those TV shows, and there wasn't an option for those of us who live alone and like it that way. Oh well.

Off to Medieval Times in Myrtle Beach today... gotta make a MP3 cd for Janice's car, clean the cat pans, and ask if Janice got directions before I head out of here.

We moved from the 12th floor to the 10th floor of the office building we're in, and I'm slowly getting used to the former interior closet that is now my office. So I've been printing off a lot of my space photos, as well as some Final Fantasy stuff.

The walls are covered with some cloth wallpaper crap. The morning after we moved in and I put up some things, every single space scene was on the floor. The Final Fantasy stuff was still up.

I think Sephiroth is holding those pics up by sheer will alone. ;-)

Lately my attention span has more closely resembled a gnat that my usual. I can't write, can't get into books. Have been reading a lot of old comic books, tho. Almost makes me want to put myself into debt again to collect some DC stuff.

HOORAY! I get to use FireFox at work! 'Bout damn time...

Trying out the above... if it keeps working, I'll move it over to the side.

Stolen from Janice's blog


You are most like Raven. Quiet and usually soft
spoken, you don't like crowds and can be
slightly gothic. You try to repress your
emotions for one reason or another but one of
your most powerful emotions is your anger. Your
temper sometimes gets the best of you and when
that happens those in your way would wish they
weren't. You seem somewhat creepy to others and
you earn a few odd stares but who cares? You
aren't an outdoors person and avoid venturing
outside when you can. You are generally the
smart one and maybe not by trying to, the most
cynical and sarcastic of the bunch which can be
good or bad. You don't like anyone invading
your privacy and you don't seem to be all that
social. But for what it's worth you can be
quite handy in a tough situation. You are drawn
to the darkness or night most of the time. You
appear mysterious and/or potentially dangerous
at times and not everyone trusts you right
away.


Which Teen Titans Character Are You?

Updated the friend links, and added Janice (Hey Janice!!)

DOH~! Sorry, Jeannie. Things have been happening since Monday that I'm not ready to put up here yet, but that have kept me busy.

Turns out that the pain and swelling was because I had a snack and a half crammed up in between the last and next-to-last molar on the top right side. He numbed me up, took out this long pointy tool, and dug it all out. After a lecture about my flossing habits (or, more corectly, the complete lack thereof), he sent me home. He called last night to make sure I was doing fine, and I am. The gum's back to it's normal size, there's no pain, and I'm buying floss when I go grocery shopping today. ;-)

I'm guessing that if the gums around my upper right middle molar are inflamed and sore and bleed when I brush them, I should probably head to the dentist to get it looked at.

Bleh. I'll do it after I get out of class today.

Just got finished beating "Chrono Trigger". Awesome little game, lots of fun to play. This is the first "new" game I've beaten in a while, so that's always cool.
