is that when i'm talking, even to myself, i dont make ANY sense.
i.e.
"normal alka-seltzer, go back in your boat!"
(not because i was referring to the alka-seltzer box as a boat, but because i think there was some banana boat sun tan lotion in the same drawer.)
yesssssss.

tim burton and i have the same taste in women.
seriously. the famous ladies i would be gay for in a second.
tho i very much miss the slightly rounder version of christina ricci. but its hollywood, right? she probably wants jobs and such, so i get it.
also, who else could make being a chimpanzee hot?
this has been the product of too much late night linking around imdb.

real writing
its been a long time since i've actually written anything here.
unfortunately, i don't have anything particularly meaningful to write at this moment, either - but its been so long i figured i'd better do it while i'm in the mood.
4-day weekend! i'm taking monday off as my personal holiday, becuase coming in that day at all seems lame, especially with veterans day being on tuesday. i need to grade about 5.5 fps packets tomorrow. that'll be fun. usually it really would be, but they're kind of atrocious this time, to the point of them being unusually difficult to grade. which makes them not fun.
work is good. still not particularly busy all the time, but learning some good new things. i now have 4 or 5 new reports that i'm in charge of on a weekly basis.
ooh! i'm also getting better at not spending so much money eating out at lunch. the key: soup. soup is cheap, and once i bought a bowl with a handle, it was easy to eat. and i like spaghettios. and potato soup. probably not all that healthy, but not bad, for me. especially if i bring a banana to go with it.
i cut up one of my credit cards! go me! i'm giving the other one to a friend to stick in her freezer, too. i feel the need to have one for emergencies or something, but it will be much better if its not in my own house.
i like music. i always like music, but i like music an extra lot the past week. i like a lot of people, but overall i definitely have two favorites. i like everything they do: Peter Gabriel and Lyle Lovett. in 5 years John Mayer might be on that list, but his discography isnt big enough to really impress me the way the other two do. I also started listening to Phil Collins a lot - i always like him, but only knew his songs from the radio, so hearing all of the albums has been great. And i get blown away once or twice an album to the point of going "wow! this is amazing! amazing like peter gabriel amazing!" and then i listen to peter gabriel.
anyway. thats probably sufficient writing for now. babble babble babble.

this is funny
Your result for The Which Star Trek Species R U Test...
Borg
Homeworld: Unknown (their origin is somewhere in the Delta Quadrant)
The Borg - the scourge of the universe. Their very name strikes fear into the hearts of species everywhere. An aggressive, ruthless species, they are single-minded in their pursuit for efficiency. The Borg believe that organic species are weak and seek to improve themselves by incorporating technology to become cyborgs. The Borg have no sense of individuality, instead having a hive mentality. As a Borg, you seek knowledge and power - you're also prepared to do whatever it takes to get these. You have no patience for frivolous things - what is the point of doing something if it isn't useful? You also don't make friends easily. This is because you are convinced your way is the right way and you're aggressive enough to enforce your beliefs on everyone else - by force if necessary.

Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...
6 - the Questioner
you chose CY - your Enneagram type is SIX (aka "The Loyalist").
"I AM AFFECTIONATE AND SKEPTICAL"
Questioners are responsible, trustworthy, and value loyalty to family, friends, groups, and causes. Their personalities range broadly from reserved and timid to outspoken and confrontative.
How to Get Along with Me
Be direct and clear.
Listen to me carefully.
Don't judge me for my anxiety.
Work things through with me.
Reassure me that everything is OK between us.
Laugh and make jokes with me.
Gently push me toward new experiences.
Try not to overreact to my overreacting.
What I Like About Being a SIX
being committed and faithful to family and friends
being responsible and hardworking
being compassionate toward others
having intellect and wit
being a nonconformist
confronting danger bravely
being direct and assertive
What's Hard About Being a SIX
the constant push and pull involved in trying to make up my mind
procrastinating because of fear of failure; having little confidence in myself
fearing being abandoned or taken advantage of
exhausting myself by worrying and scanning for danger
wishing I had a rule book at work so I could do everything right
being too critical of myself when I haven't lived up to my expectations
SIXes as Children Often
are friendly, likable, and dependable, and/or sarcastic, bossy, and stubborn
are anxious and hypervigilant; anticipate danger
form a team of "us against them" with a best friend or parent
look to groups or authorities to protect them and/or question authority and rebel
are neglected or abused, come from unpredictable or alcoholic families, and/or take on the fearfulness of an overly anxious parent
SIXes as Parents
are often loving, nurturing, and have a strong sense of duty
are sometimes reluctant to give their children independence
worry more than most that their children will get hurt
sometimes have trouble saying no and setting boundaries
