Too Bizarre Not to Do

You Are an Imaginative Thinker

You are a nonlinear thinker, and you're even surprised by the places your mind takes you. You love to get lost in a story, whether it's your own or not. You love fantasy. You are a positive and uplifting person. You inspire others to be better. You are full of wonder and curiosity. You feel a strong connection to the world.

The Library Test

Blogthings: Free Quizzes for Everyone

In a few short months, I'll be on the other side of the equation, but for now, I'm the one saying "Have a nice day." But I'm not really a library user. My library card is gathering dust in my wallet. I much prefer to buy books and have my own library. No due dates that way. What I want is always on the shelf. And no one's grubby hands touch the books but mine! :)

Chocolate Chocolate

You Are Sensitive

You tend to be overly sensitive and easily hurt, which can make loving you difficult. You get upset easily. A person's past is very interesting to you, good and bad parts included. You can learn a lot from the past. You're quite loyal to those you love most - friends and family. You have a sweet heart. You know your destiny. You may not share it with others, but you're always working toward it.

There! It's official. I'm sensitive. :)

Doctor Who is back! Yay! And in an awesome way! Double Yay!

Been enjoying Torchwood: Miracle Day. And the rest of summer TV. And the fall season starts in a few weeks, making this TV lover happy.

Went to a baseball game with someone I met in 2nd grade and haven't seen since high school. That's 40 years ago, folks! We had a great time.

Weathered Irene without a problem. We were lucky. A lot of people weren't. We didn't even lose power or cable/internet.

Baseball and Hotdogs

You Are a Hot Dog

You are fun loving and quick to tell a story or joke. You always know how to have a good time. You never quite feel settled. You have the spirit of an adventurer. You are imaginative and very visual. You can play out whole movies in your head. There's so much in this world that interests you. You like to dabble in a little of everything.

What Baseball Park Snack Are You?

Blogthings: A Fine Line Between Insight and Stupidity

I'm sitting here watching my beloved, albeit hapless, Mets on TV and thinking a hotdog would be nice right now. I'm more a hamburger lover, but when it comes to going to baseball games, it's hotdogs all the way.

Feeling: tired

Cupcake

You Are an Amaretto Chocolate Cherry Cupcake

You have a deep desire to leave your mark on the world. You want to change things for the better. You are an object of fascination for many. You shine brightly and boldly. You are youthful in spirit and appearance. You refuse to grow up! To be honest, danger excites you a little. You believe that anything that is worth doing has some risk.

What Exotic Cupcake Are You?

Not something I'd eat, but at least there's chocolate in it. I prefer chocolate with chocolate icing. Thick, yummy chocolate buttercream icing.

Life's been, uh, busy. Summer's been hot and exhausting. Work's been both. More later.

Feeling: lethargic

Smile!

You Are a Nose Smiley

You are a very detailed oriented person. You feel happiest when all your ducks are in a row. You are conventional and orthodox. You are the most normal person you know. You like to work hard, but you also value your downtime. You seek balance in your life. You are smart to the point of being a genius. You are very learned.

What Smiley Are You?

Blogthings: We Have a Quiz for Almost Everything

There were actual questions for this. It's been a while. Mostly, lately, it's been "choose a pic that best depicts" whatever. Still, I'd expected 8-) because I wear glasses. ;)

I'm a Cookie, You're a Cookie

You Have Depth

You are the ultimate escapist. If you can't escape physically, you escape with your thoughts. You love the idea of travel and faraway lands. If you could, you would travel constantly and see the world. While you are a bit on the quiet side, you're a great partner. You are supportive, devoted, and loyal. More than any other type, you honestly still believe in true love. You hold on to your ideals.

The librarian in me is both pleased and amused by this response.

I Hope that's Chocolate on Top

You Are Hyper

Your mind is active and often restless. You find it difficult to be at ease. You can't help but feel unsettled in your life. You have a major case of wanderlust. You don't stick to anything for too long, but your intensity makes up for lack of attention span. You are so energetic that you sometimes push yourself too much. You are prone to exhaustion.

The Petit Dessert Test

Blogthings: We're Not Shrinks, But We Play Them On the Internet

Allergies have really knocked me for a loop this month, but this week's rain has helped. Of course, that means nasty weather that's not much fun to walk around in, let alone take photos.

Work's been a bitch, too, with problems beyond anyone's control, leading to many cases of "just deal with it." *sigh*

Musical Interlude

Your Rock Anthem is "I Love Rock N' Roll"

Pure and simple, you love to rock. There isn't much more to it than that. As far as the lifestyle goes, you'll skip the wild sex and illegal drugs. The music is more than enough for you, and of all types, you're the most likely to make your own. Sometimes you just need to rock, and you can't rest until you do!

You Are Deep

You are attracted to sad things. You find a lot of depth in darkness. You find counter culture compelling. You respect those who chart their own course through life. You are loyal and devoted. Your friends tend to be friends for life. The details in your life can be a bit disorderly. You don't mind a little chaos.

You are efficient and streamlined. You're always ready to get down to business. You are goal-oriented. You set goals often, and you almost always meet them.

Peeps Season

Yup, it's that time of year again! Peeps Time! And the Washington Post's 4th Annual Peeps Contest was a rousing success. These photos are hysterical.

I have yet to take Peeps photos of my own. I was waiting until April to start.

In the meantime, I did this quiz. This is fairly off. And I love the blue ones.

You Are a Yellow M&M

You are a mystery to those around you. You're happy-go-lucky but also quietly enigmatic. You live in a very individualistic way. You're doing what you love, and that varies from day to day. You are very self-aware and introspective. You know who you are, and you're good with that. You have an ironic view of life. You can be both serious and funny at the same time.

Tuesday Miscellany

I got this from Andi: Make art out of spam at SpamRecycling.com.

And who, especially Facebook lovers, wouldn't want this set of stamps?

This was too ridiculous not to do.

You Are Rational

You are a very meticulous and organized person. You strive toward minimalism as much as possible. You are both fussy and discriminating. You find yourself attracted to the simpler choice. You are a very wholesome person. You have your own set of ethics, and morality matters to you. Well put-together and elegant, you sometimes seem standoffish. You aren't a snob, but you do have high standards for yourself.

You are happy to go your own way in life. You've always felt a little different from everyone else. You are content to have your own thing going on... you just don't like getting attention for it! You love variety and new experiences. You are quite creative and experimental. You believe that there is a lot to still be discovered in this world, and you're hoping to find some of it.

Fortunate Results

These results are fortunate because chocolate chip cookies are pretty much the only kind I know how to make.

You Should Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies

You are the type of person who has more friends than you can count. You're very popular. You are outgoing and fun loving. You don't worry too much... you just enjoy life. You may be well liked, but there's nothing bland or ordinary about you. You like to write your own rules. Who knows what you'll throw into your chocolate chip cookies?

The Wood Floor Test

Blogthings: If Quizzes Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Take Quizzes

Seriously? It's been a week since I posted here? Eek. I had no idea. Really. I've lost all track of time. Not only am I hooked on Facebook's Frontierville game (Zynga's newer, better than Farmville game), but I became obsessed with the newer Cityville game. I love moving things around in my virtual homesteads and cities and decorating.

It's been too cold to think or get out much other than go to work. And snow. We're having a very snowy winter so far. I'm ready for spring. Really. Very. Ready.

Feeling: busy
