Which is why I have that button instead of having read three chapters of Psychology. I hate procrastinating, but the pressure isn't sufficient to kick my arse into gear.... grrr.

Your Life Path Number Is 7

7 You are a peaceful and affectionate soul... and by nature rather reserved and analytical. The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown. You will garner knowledge from practically every source that you find. Intellectual, scientific and studious, you don't accept a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at you own independent conclusion. This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise and confusion. You are very thorough and complete in your work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to be a meet a high standard of performance, too. You evaluate situations very quickly and with amazing accuracy. You rely heavily on your experiences and your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone. Your hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you are one who tends to follow the directions they seem to guide. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people. You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life. You really aren't a very social person, and your reserve is often taken to be aloofness. You actually like being alone, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, you would have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was less hectic. In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can become very pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome, and secretive. A Life Path 7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through experiences. A negative 7 is a hard person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration. The negative 7 is very selfish and spoiled. If you have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of. At your worst, you feel that the world really does owe you something - or in some way you aren't being fairly treated. Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive for you.

What Kind of Catholic are you?

You scored 59, on a scale of 0 to 100. Here's how to interpret your score:

You are a liberal Catholic
You love the church, but you'd like to see some changes in certain areas--birth control, divorce, the role of women--where official teaching seems disconnected from contemporary experience. Your favorite hymn is probably "On Eagle's Wings" and your favorite pope is John XXIII. You admire Dorthy Day and like the philosophy behind movies like "Dead Man Walking."


What kind of Catholic are you?

To those of you who know me, the things in red won't come as a big surprise....

You Know You're Addicted to Lord of the Rings When...

You start quoting from the movie as part of regular conversation. You like to tell your mom that you are hungry by quoting: "Merry, I'm hungry." She used to just laugh, but now she says, "What would you like to eat, Pippin?" You continually ask your parents for second breakfast. All the staff at your local cinema knows you by your first name and even before you open your mouth to speak, they say "Ticket for 'Fellowship of The Ring?'" You hate Burger King food, but you ate nothing else for a month to get the toys. You've crammed up your computer's memory by downloading every single screensaver from www.LordoftheRings.net You wander around the house in a knee length nightie, pyjama trousers and an unfastened dressing gown (to give you a train). You are trying to be an elf, and actually manage to forget that the nightie is blue with dolphins, the trousers have teddies on and the dressing gown is tartan. Your Lord of the Rings shirt has not yet met the washing machine. You don't have enough money to buy groceries for the next week before payday, yet you charge £50 on your credit card to get a three year charter membership in the official LOTR fan club. Who needs food anyway? You refer to parts of your town as parts of Middle-Earth. You wear hobbitish clothing as part of your normal wardrobe. You sometimes let your hair go curly after a wash, and then run around the house in bare feet yelling "I'm a hobbit!" You hate it when Elves are only thought of as 'Santa's little helpers' and have tried to explain the difference between Santa-elves and Sindarin Elves to your 5-year old cousins. You speak in Quenya just to annoy your friends. You refer to regular elephants as oliphaunts. While buttering a piece of bread, you suddenly think of Bilbo (remember when he was talking to Gandalf about feeling tired saying that he felt 'like butter spread over too much bread.') You renamed your car the Wraith-mobile. You have a replica of The One Ring. You are beginning to resemble a panda due to the fact that you've stayed up until 2 am reading and re-reading the great books. You actually managed to read the Silmarillion without being tempted to give up on this whole middle earth malarkey. You now have a lifetime fear of black horses! You haven't removed the soundtrack from your CD player since you bought it. You have sssudenly developed a hisssing lisssp every time you sssay the letter ssss. You have looked both on the net and in the phone book to see if archery and sword fighting lessions are offered in your area. You have begun calling your husband / wife / girlfriend/ boyfriend / animal or kid my precioussss. You happily traveled over an hour to the next town to see "it" because that theater has a better sound system than the one 5 minutes down the road. You have called every theatrical or specialty makeup company in town looking for pointy ear or hairy feet prosthetics. You've worn your plastic "one ring" that came on your Legolas bookmark so much the gold is completely worn off. You've begun drafting a letter to the Webster's dictionary people requesting that they include "Ringers" in their next edition. At Christmas time relatives find you chatting with the tree and sharing eggnog draughts Single ads with the description," short plump and big hairy feet" seem much more appealing. You know The LoTR history better then your family history. You have a mouse named Frodo, a bird named Gollum, and a dog named Gandalf. And that cat that keeps coming around to be petted is Legolas. You know Elvish better then English. Whenever something goes wrong, it's Sauron's fault. When you sing in the shower, it's always about Gil-Galad or hobbit walking songs... You know everything about Middle Earth geography, but you can't get someone from your house to the ice cream parlor. Now the nearest movie theater, that is a different story. You think the names of the 7 dwarves from Snow White are: Gimli, Gloin, Thorin, Gili, Nili, Ori, and Bambour. You have developed your own special Tolkien handwriting. "A firm, flowing script..." Words like "Yrch" make sense to you. You've become strangely obsessed with mushrooms. Whenever you close a door, you say "They have a cave troll!" When you come to a dead end you're still convinced that the road goes ever on and on. There's a sign on your door saying "Speak Friend and enter!" Whenever you get a chance, you burst into song. Preferably one that has more than 20 verses. You change your name by deed poll to a Tolkien character and seriously consider naming your children after LOTR characters. Every time you see birds in the sky you have the urge to say "Fly you fools!" When someone knocks on your door you grab them, pull them inside and ask "Are you frightend?... Not nearly frightend enough!" Your computer's screensaver is a marquee reading, "Ennyn Durin atan Moria: pedo mellon a mino" and the password is actually "mellon". You cannot see a beer without blurting out "It comes in pints? I'm getting one!" You just can't keep yourself from saying "nobody tosses a Dwarf" at inappropriate moments. A shadow and a threat is growing in your mind. You now referring to your friends as your 'Fellowship' and insist that you have epic adventures. You stand in the doorway and tell your cat that he 'Can not pass'. You wash your face in the sink and expect to see things that are, that have been or that will be. Your wedding band has started to weigh you down with it's evil powers. Spending $35 at the grocery store seems expensive but its Perfectly fine to spend $70 on the Hardcover LOTR book with Alan Lee Illustrations. You start keeping a LOTR Journal to write poems and inklings in. You face every difficult decision with the thought "now what would Gandalf advise me to do?" You know what Entmoot, Ent draught, or an Ent is for that matter You've gained 20 pounds because you've started eating a "Second Breakfast" A walking stick... you never leave home with out it. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to Lord of the Rings.

Laziness is a virtue, not a crime... how else would things be prevented from getting done?

I've decided I need to stop being so lazy. Well, next week, maybe. See, for the last two weeks I've just had so much work to do in each class, that this week I figure I'll give myself a break from being a diligent student. I'll pick up next week or something. But I know that the work is just piling up, especially because the semester's coming to a close. I have to finish reading several novels (by several I mean one), I have several chapters in several books to read before final exams (by several I mean an enormous and virtually unfathomable amount). Hooray. Plus, my roommate hasn't returned because her mother's sick. Oh well.

I've figured out what classes I want to take, and due to the poor selection of classes available to me (and that appeal to me at specific times) I may just end up taking 4 classes next semester. Since I'm in no hurry to graduate or anything, I'll finish in four years just as planned, and probably with electives and low course loads as well. Who knows. Hooray for prior credit!

Anyway, my time limit's up in the library, and I should probably get a move on doing some reading/correcting of a paper I wrote... I'm so glad my professor allows re-writes.

What's your Inner Age?

You Are 28 Years Old

28 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

So much to do... but too tired to do it

[mood: tired and a little depressed]
[music: Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon]

This weekend was great! Laura took me to her home in Houston, where I got to hang out with her, her momma and brotha and their menagerie of pets. It was really awesome, though not super eventful. Basically just movies and food. But then again, what else is there in life? Oh. I also taught Laura to knit, which makes me insanely happy because I no longer am the only one excited about two sticks and a piece of string. She caught on amazingly quickly, which pleased me immensely, because my poor sister didn't catch on, even after much coaxing.

Today I'm feeling a bit depressed because of the weather. It's grey, dreary, sort of wet, and humid despite the cool temperature. I need a nap, but I have this inexplicable urge to scour my room clean. Perhaps it's inspiration from Steph and Angela, who cleaned their apartment to levels of impeccable cleanliness. Very awesome.

Your Love Style is Pragma

Growing Up Is Hard to Do

This, my first year of University, is rapidly coming to a close. With a tad bit over a month to go, it's amazing the change that I've seen take place within me. When I started, I was a scared little girl with no real clue how to deal with living away from home. I had no friends, my family was what seemed like a million miles away, and I had very little comfort in those first few months. I couldn't understand how friends of mine would go for days on end without talking to their parents, and conversely, I found that my relationship with my own parents became much stronger and deeper through my loneliness and ever-present need to converse and fill them in on my life. Now, nine months later, I am beginning to understand independence.

I needed constant parental assurance and reassurance to help me out. Now, if I don't talk to my family all that much, it doesn't make me feel empty inside like it used to. I mean, I love them very much and always will, but now it's no longer their approval I'm seeking... it's coming to terms with the fact that I can make decisions on my own, and that they probably won't hear about it unless I tell them. It's coming to terms with the fact that despite being financially dependent, I can do what I want. Despite the joy it gives me to be my own person without many restraints except for those that are self-imposed, it also pains me to realize that I'm growing up. It hurts to know that I can't approach my parents with every little thing and expect that they'll stand by me no matter what I do. (This has nothing to do with love, it has to do with approving of my choices). The power that's been handed to me to make my own decisions, provided I think those decisions through, is great power. It means I'm becoming an adult.

Now that's a hard idea to come to grips with. But I think I'm much more prepared for it now.

Just like a Movie

People-watching is such a great pastime. It's how Freud did much of his research, it's a way to figure out trends, observe the amazing differences among people, or, if you're me, to get ideas for crafty projects and, like Freud, observe people's behavior. Or how many of them are sporting the little white buds of glory.

One thing that made my morning particularly special was when I saw a couple parting ways as I walked to class. They kissed each other goodbye, and as they turned to go their separate ways, she turned back to look at him, but he was moving away. Then he turned to look at her after she'd gone back to face where she was walking, and then she turned a second time, but he entered a building as she did so. It was like a scene from a movie, impeccably timed, and an obvious expression of love. It was adorable. It really does make you believe that love, and above all, even fairy-tale or cinema love, is very possible, and that love actually is all around.

It's music like Dave Matthews that makes me believe in the goodness of others and that the world might turn out to be alright after all.

[mood: bleh bleh bleh... and tired]
[music: Cherry Poppin' Daddies - No Mercy For Swine]

I had a wonderfully comforting weekend. Considering Gabe broke up with me on Thursday, I needed girlfriend/ice cream consolation pretty much the whole weekend. Now, I'm dead tired, haven't done much of anything productive, but am feeling fat & sassy (Go Steph!).

I like sleep.
