Dear Friend,
A few quizzes because I'm bored.

You Are 40% Emo

You're definitely not emo, but you do understand emo people a little. You are introspective, but not to the point of driving yourself crazy.

Are You Emo?

There's Not a Violent Bone in Your Body

You're cool and collected, even when someone really gets under your skin. And while you don't blow up when you're angry, you know how to express your anger calmly. You don't bottle emotions up or let them get out of control. For you, violence would never be an option.

Could You Be Violent?

You Should Play the Harp

You are a sensitive soul, with a great admiration for beauty. You definitely have what it takes to make beautiful music, but most instruments are too harsh for you. You are subtle, shy, and even a bit spoiled. You're very picky about most aspects of your life. It's just your style to play an eccentric, hard to transport instrument like the harp that few people consider. Overall, you have the relaxed demeanor of a leisurely upper class person, and your music would reflect that. Your calm yet soulful harp playing would be sure to help people forget their troubles for a while. Your dominant personality characteristic: your zen-ness Your secondary personality characteristic: your quiet independence

What Musical Instrument Should You Play?

You Are: 30% Dog, 70% Cat

You and cats have a lot in common. You're both smart and in charge - with a good amount of attitude. However, you do have a very playful side that occasionally comes out!

Are You More Cat or Dog?

Livejournal... for anything really

Dear Friend,
Have you ever looked at a Livejournal page? I do often, between them and Google I think I could probably find an icon for anything that I want. All I do is go to Google, type in my subject plus the words "livejournal icon" and before you can say "What the hell's cracker dog?" you've got it. For example, I, a non-Dr. Who-fan, can find plenty of icons for the 5th doctor anytime I wish. For example, the icon adorning this post. (If photobucket, Blogger and life in general decide to behave today) I've never watched an entire episode of the longest running sci-fi show, but I have seen many YouTube clips, so I feel I can have an opinion. My favorite Dr. is 5 followed by 10. I am aware that I have no real idea what I'm talking about, but the bits of things I've seen about the show, I know I like these two.
Really, though, I've found LOST fans, The Office fans, Jane Austen fans and more on good old LJ, despite not having an account with them. I'm not into the whole "friending" thing, hence my avoidance of LJ and MySpace. They're both really handy when I feel like finding either Icons (LJ) or bands (MySpace).

ETA: I've no clue why the icon is so big, the internet hates me today.

Fruit salad, yummy yummy

Dear friend,
When you spend an entire week at work do you avoid all work related things for the weekend? I'm guessing quite a few people do. In fact, that was my plan this weekend. As I've mentioned, I work with three year old children. We sing simple (inane) songs, they learn their shapes, they learn their colors, the say yay for the simplest of accomplishments and they consider "chicken nugget" to be either the funniest or most shocking phrase in the English language. I intended to do things much more grown up this weekend, such as read some classic literature, watch a 5 hour miniseries based on classic literature, listen to interesting music that is not based on counting, cleaning, or being a polite well rounded person, or just having conversation with someone who can actually spell "conversation". So when I got out of bed this morning, guess what I ended up doing? I turned on Playhouse Disney and watched The Wiggles.
I'm so odd. I was too old for the Wiggles when they first came on Disney, but I still watched them. I got sucked in the instant I heard the song "Fruit Salad." I almost have to turn on the show for at least a few minutes whenever I see that it's on. Usually, I'm at work when it's on, so it doesn't often happen, but this morning I caught it. I watched almost the whole episode. I kept thinking, "I need more mental stimulation, turn off the TV, ooh, Jeff's asleep again!" Yeah, I know the names, not just the colors... I have no children of my own.

Pray for me.

I remember being so sad to find out that Greg had retired due to health problems and had to be replaced by some guy named Sam. Sam is not my yellow Wiggle, Greg is.
Gah, I need to stop talking about this. I should read some Dickens or one of the Brontes... or go to Youtube and search for some video of Yellow Sam, I've never seen him after all... I need help.
BTW, my favorite Wiggle is Anthony, the blue one.
I'm done!

Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy

Dear Friend,
I've had various topics to write about including, among others, the random stray thought that Peter Petrelli of Heroes would be a good K3 teacher. I simply am too tired to remember the actual reasons I came to that conclusion. I remember something about how the kids would be more inclined to pay attention to a man who could, at any given moment, blow up. He could entertain them by flying, and if they in their inherent clumsiness managed to injure him he could simply heal immediately which would cut down on catching any colds from the dear, germy kids. He was a nurse, he must care about people, and frankly, 3 year olds are some of the easiest people to love and care for. OK, so maybe I remember a few reasons...
I thought this because I watched the entire first season of Heroes in 48 hours. My brother was visiting, he brought the DVDs, he was leaving in 48 hours and it was either finish them then or wait a really, really long time. I chose to marathon so much that I think my brain turned to mush. Maybe that would be my hero ability, I'd be able to function despite severe brain damage. Nah.
Subject change, Sarah McClahlan has one of the most hauntingly beautiful voices ever. Yeah, I know, way to state the obvious. I've just been watching dueSOUTH, one of the most famous (to fans) episodes, Victoria's Secret, which heavily uses Sarah's haunting music. Amazing. Just to mention, as far as haunting sound, I like A Fine Frenzy lately.
OK, have a great weekend, friend,
