I just got back from seeing Superman Returns, which you need to GO SEE RIGHT NOW!
....better than X-Men III, Spideman II, Revenge of the Sith, etc.....PUT TOGETHER!
I can't even begin to enumerate the ways in which it blew my socks off. I'm so glad I let the gang talk me into a "midnight" showing (actually, it started at 10, but whatever).

I'm in the middle.
Check me out! Just three years ago.
I just ran across this picture online (googled myself out of boredom). I'd never seen it before. Holy Firefly, am I hot.Current Mood:  big Current Music: "How can I keep from singing?"

Trading training is destroying my brain. It's pretty hard, and the stakes are high.
I'm craving some Ramen like crazy. Wonder what that's about. I thought you craved things when your body had a nutritional deficiency...somehow, I doubt my body is lacking salt and starch.
The paychecks have been nice lately...all that lovely overtime....
Hence, Joey and I are going out to buy a TV tonight for the living room.
I have been really busy at work lately. And I find myself making the same excuses that I did during the Series 7 preparation - I'm too tired, I'm too busy, it'll all get better after (insert excuse here). Nowadays, the excuse is, "If I can just make it through tax season!" I think perhaps my priorities need adjusting.
What I'd really like is to curl up at Joey's feet (while he's working at his desk) and sleep for a week or so. I know the image conflicts with some of my feminist leanings, but it really, really appeals to me right now. Current Mood:  brain destroyed Current Music: "This won't work well if you're hell-bent on your offense."

Hurrah! Have found knitting bag! Surely is evidence of zen-like state, as no knitting bag would return to owner who was not ready.
Am sure to resume knitting projects and produce stylish gifts in manner of domestic goddess. Will start right after eating this chocolate croissant.

I'm tired. Really, really tired.
That's what staying up all night finishing "Taken" will do to you.
The chairs in the training room are extremely uncomfortable.
But hey, I did learn about the Laotian rock rat and the leaf muntjac (pictured below) on my lunch break.

I now know more than 529 plans than any human should. Unrelated to the above pictured muntjac.
Edit: I just saw the skinniest person I've ever seen in my life. She, by all the applicable laws of the universe, should not exist.

 | You scored as CPO Galen Tyrol. You never wanted to be a glamorous Viper pilot. You are happy knowing that without you to fix their birds, they cannot fly. You fell in love with the wrong girl, but is that so wrong? Maybe, but you don't really care.

Nice to know that all my friends will be at my wedding.
I guess all I have to do now is buy Lisa a ring and propose!
And by the way, Lisa, I'll expect you to stay home and raise the kids. We'll have six or seven. ("Dogs?" "No, Belle! Strapping boys, like me!")

| » I'm such a nerd. |
You all knew it already.
And you know what? I'm proud. I've been a nerd my whole life, and I genuinely prefer the company of nerds.
And you know what else? I'm an effin' Trekkie. Star Trek, Firefly, Battlestar, Babylon 5.
Pure Nerd 69 % Nerd, 43% Geek, 34% Dork | For The Record:
A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.
The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.
Congratulations!
Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST | |
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 79% on nerdiness | | You scored higher than 63% on geekosity | | You scored higher than 55% on dork points |

| » Ominous? |
Last night, over dinner at the apartment, I asked Joey, "So where should I go after work? Here, or to otherhome?"
He replied, "My place. ....And wear something...nice...to work tomorrow."
Of course, this morning I was freaking out. How nice is nice? I settled on a business suit. And a necklace.
I'm really, really looking forward to tonight/tomorrow. Valentine's Day/birthday = killer combo.

Your Social Dysfunction: Happy
You're a happy person - you have a good amount of self-esteem, and are socially healthy. While this isn't a social dysfunction per se, you're definitely not normal. Consider yourself lucky: you walk that fine line between 'normal' and being outright narcissistic. You're rare - which is something else to be happy about.
