I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

Well it is my favorite color =)

You Are a Blue Crayon

Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors. You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find. On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody. However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front. Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.

What Color Crayon Are You?

This was hands down (no Rosy Palm jokes, now) the single most illuminating quiz I have taken. If I had a penis what would I call it?! I gotta say....I like this one. It has depth, character, insight...

Your Penis Name Is...

Phantom Lord of Ultimate Darkness

Penis Name Generator

Bubba and Me - I wouldn't let Hillary near my Phantom Lord of Ultimate Darkness, either. Oh intern......!

You Are Most Like Bill Clinton

No doubt, your legacy may be a little seedier than you'd like. But even though you've done some questionable things, you're still loved by almost all.

What Modern US President Are You Most Like?

Of course I am not Prissy. Hell I was just associated with a President with Kinky Cigar habits :P

You Are Not Prissy

You're the furthest thing from a princess - and you probably stay far away from any princess types you know. You have an easygoing approach to living. It doesn't take a lot to make you happy. And when life requires it, you're ready to get your hand a little dirty. There's no problem you're too prissy to tackle!

How Prissy Are You?

Dude Looks Like A Lady! This didn't surprise me. While I think guys have issues (you do, you know it, shut up) I find women to be INCREDIBLY annoying. WTF is up with the chick games? There is no way I could be a lesbian, I can barely deal with talking with most women let alone screwing them. Except Shirley Manson. Shirley is teh win.

Your Brain is 47% Female, 53% 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?

Just call me Selina Kyle! - props to those who know who that is :P

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?

Well this one is dead on. Those Celts had it down!

You Are A Poplar Tree

People tend to look up to you, and it's a bit lonely at the top. Inside, you are not always self confident, but you show great courage. Mature and organized, you are reliable in any situation. You tend to have an artistic or philosophical outlook on life. You are very choosy in love and take partnership seriously.

What's Your Celtic Horoscope?

"That rug really tied the room together."

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic

Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few. But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky. Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

For some reason, this one just fits perfectly

In a Past Life...

You Were: A Ditzy Executor of Sacrifices. Where You Lived: Cyprus. How You Died: Natural causes.

Who Were You In a Past Life?

I Am S M R T

Am-I-Dumb.com - Are you dumb?

Found that fun little test over at Sparky Ducks. In addition to this one I took a grammer test found over at Desert's and got 10 outta 10. I am feeling pretty smug right about now :P

Sad Eyes, Crooked Crosses In God's Country

I have been soooo bad with both going to my favorite blogs and writing in my own. It was DAMN hard to get back into the swing of things at work. I didn't really get my appetite back until Thursday or so and I am still not up to working overtime. Tomorrow I will be going in for a few hours.

Today, though, I am just being a big old couch potato. Watching VH1 Classic Albums - U2 Joshua Tree and then Rattle and Hum will be on after that. Which make up 2 of my Top Three U2 albums. Achtung Baby being the third. Boy is a close call on that though.

The bastards need to stop jacking me around with their damn "doodling" in Morocco and GIVE ME AN ALBUM.

Dammit.

And for Kidlet....Green Day needs to shit or get off the pot and GIVE ME A NEW album as well.

Not that we didn't both love their collaboration and their contributions to Instant Karma, but DAMN. It has been 3 years for both of them.

LOL...apparently Brian Eno nearly blew up the tape of the original attempts of Where The Streets Have No Name as it was such a bitch to record. The man nearly blew up what Bono calls the "God Song" meaning that if the concerts are sucking and they are not connecting with the audience (which I find hard to believe) all they have to do is play Streets and they have the audience back. It is hard to imagine U2 with no Streets.

Alrighty, coffee time. And if you ever get the opporunity (Sparky, Desert) to see the Classics Album Joshua Tree definately rent it. It is a fascinating view of the making of it. Given that Mr. The Edge has the porn star mustache and cowboy hat it was filmed during the Pop era. The most interesting part is listening to the creation of Running To Stand Still. Bono came up with the first several lines off the cuff while they were running through the melody. Pretty impressive.

In other random news, I received a thank you and update on Sparky the wonder dog who was dragged behind a car and frankly not expected to make it. I am happy to say that Sparky is doing MUCH better than expected but still requiring a great deal of medical intervention. In other words, they still could use your money! They are also accepting donations for the reward fund to try to find the man responsible for this. Click on the picture to be taken to the donation site.

I Almost Fell Into That Hole In Your Life

I am still home today, released to go back to work tomorrow. This was one very very nasty illness. I made it to Dead Fred's yesterday and got my shopping and school supply list covered, and then came home and passed out on the couch for another couple of hours. On the plus side I ate *TWO* meals yesterday and actually had coffee for the first time since Aug 26th. That is how sick I was.

Kidlet started Jr High today. 7th Grade. It was a cattle call outside the school today and it was just the 7th graders. 8th comes back and classes begin tomorrow. Today is a special orientation for the 7th gr kids. Kidlet is excited and a bit freaked over the 5 minutes between classes. Her school is fairly decent sized so I don't blame her. As per usual, she looks about 4 grades higher than her classmates. Heck last year they lost her pictures sending them around the district trying to figure out who this "student teacher" was cause they didn't get that she was a 6th grader. And that was before discovered eyeliner. Forget about it now.

178 bucks in fees, pictures, lunches etc. Fees for art class, home economics and shop. Did we have fees for regular classes, for god's sake? I know we had to buy supplies (fabric, woods, pastels) but these fees are on top of those. And I love supplying paper and pens and Kleenex for the entire school. I just know in 20 years time we are going to find out about wide scale embezzlement in the Oregon government. We have damn near the highest property taxes and state income taxes in the nation, not to mention a lottery, and our public schools suck ass. Hard.

I am picking up Miss Thang after school and we are going to eat and then to see The Zombinator's version of Halloween. I think I am finally up to it. I feel fairly human today thank goodness. Tomorrow, after I drop off Kidlet, I have to report to employee health at the frickin hospital and get cleared to go back to work. Then I get to turn around and go back to my office. That is retarded.

More coffee I think, it finally tastes good again. Glad to be back!
