You Are a Citizen of the World
|

Whenever possible, you try to pay attention to what's going on in the world.
You are truly interested in all people and countries, no matter how far away from you they are.
You try to learn, travel, and understand.
Being a part of the whole world is important to you, and you're always working to be more internationally focused.
|
Nico: take this one. Lol.
The Road Trip of Your Life
|

You see companionship and loyalty as what's most important in life.
You live a life of leisure. You take your time in every aspect of life and enjoy it to the fullest.
You don't like a lot of risk or randomness in your life. You prefer to stick with what's known, even if it's a bit boring.
You are able to find a fairly healthy balance between work and play. You work when you need to, but you never let yourself burn out.
In another life, you could have been a great artist. You trust your creative instincts enough to let them lead you.
|
Err...randomness, yes, risk, no.
You Are a Winter Person
|

You are calm, serious, and focused.
You're the type of person who appreciates the quiet and calm.
Winter is the perfect time for you to get cozy and work on a hobby.
Summer is a bit too hectic for you. You like the dead of winter... preferably with a roaring fire inside.

Totally didn't see that coming. Lol. | |

My mom's in the hospital.
She had a blood clot, and the 17-hour plane ride back from Thailand caused pieces of it to break off and they got stuck in her lungs, causing shortness of breath. She got lightheaded and had to ride around airports in a wheelchair--twice--and though I told her the first time that I talked to her that she needed to get to the emergency room, it took two days and my grandmother crying to get her to go. (My Grandma Crawford kicks ass. Srsly.)
They've got her on blood thinners and she's going to be fine, but they're keeping her at the hospital to monitor it all--she's hooked up to a heart monitor, but other than the wack hospital gowns, she looks totally normal. However I've been spending most of my free time (and I do have a glut of it at the moment, thanks to my joblessness) at the hospital, which is NOT a WiFi hotspot (I asked; medical records were hacked so internet was discontinued for patients), so I haven't had time to be online. Her blood thickness level is 1.1 as of this afternoon and she gets to leave when it's 2.5, which they're guessing will be Sunday. (Yeah, I'm not sure if they're unthinning it after having her on heavy doses of thinners or if they're trying to thin it more. Probably the former...?)
Anyway, I'm behind on LJ, so comments will be sparse, lol.
In other news, I solved a Rubik's Cube completely from memory for the first time tonight--at Nico's at 2:37 AM. YAY. We went to Wal*Mart and I purchased my own darn cube in celebration. Am planning to take it with me to the hospital tomorrow and show off.
OH, and they brought me back a purple sake set with a black serving tray. Pics eventually. It's AWSHUM.
And Kristy got me a fish; a purple betta. Contemplating names, pics eventually. Lol.
The word from the paper is that they actually had another position open up, they're talking about combining the two positions, not sure what they're doing and no one's in the office to discuss until Monday, etc. He did say that my name came up in the discussions. =D Sooo...hopefully I hear back on Monday. | |

I know I haven't said a lot about the jobhunt; if I listed every place I applied to it'd take up a LOT of my time, lol. I will, of course, be posting when I finally do find suitable employment.
That being said, I have two interviews tomorrow--one of which is a SECOND interview, at the local paper. At the first interview he told me that they narrowed it down to about ten applicants from a stack about three inches thick, and asked (jokingly) "How'd you make it into that top ten?" I said I was just that awesome. ^_^ I'm really crossing my fingers for that one. Failing that, I want the Sheriff's Department job. The other interview tomorrow I don't much care either way; Wal*Mart Portrait Studio. Lots of kids running around, ew. Lol.
And my car is acting up. >_< Keeps randomly dying. Grr. Taking it BACK to the mechanic tomorrow to tell them it didn't work.

You love to dance to anything, and it's hard to stop once you start.

You are focused, single minded, and intense.
You don't let others see your intensity often, and when they do, they are quite surprised.
You burn brightly, but you also burn steadily.
You have the endurance to get the one thing you desire most.
|
YAY FIREWORKS! I got to the ASU fireworks with Nico last night, and I got pics. Expect a couple on DA.
You Are Pretty Charming
|

While you're not a natural charmer, you can be charming when you want to be.
And lucky for those around you, you usually feel like turning on the charm.
You project a happy, calm image - even when you're feeling the exact opposite.
You make people feel great about being around you... though you're not always up for putting in the effort.

You're so Yankee, it's possible you've never even been to the South!

FUCKIN RIGHT.
What Your Workspace Says About You
|

You are generally fairly organized, but you have occasional slip ups. You find keeping organized challenging.
You tend to work at your own pace. If this means things don't
You enjoy your job and don't feel guilty about how much time you spend working. You have a good balance between work and your personal life.
You are still trying to figure out your ideal career. You could quit your current job on any given day.
At work, you are an introvert. You don't like people coming around your work space.
|
Yeah.
You Are a Fork
|

You are truthful, direct, and straight forward.
People find your honesty to be a bit piercing at times.
You are driven and wildly ambitious.
You know what you want, and you take the most direct path to getting it.

I somehow keep convincing myself that I'm quite steeled against the powers of a ghost story or "unsolved mysteries" (there are both on that site), especially if it's just in writing, without pics or video. Then I end up sitting at the computer with the light turned back on, wrapped in a security blanket, checking over my shoulder every five minutes or so, no matter how loud the music is. Maybe it's easier to handle in a book because I KNOW that's fiction, while stuff on the internet might be true? Or because if it's in a book, odds are I'm in bed I have something at my back? | |

I think I mentioned I got my address labels (printed correctly this time!) and filed away the books I've purchased since I moved in. I realized that I did, in fact, buy the second edition of the New York Times Crossword Dictionary. QUITE helpful, actually--I did the Baxter Bulletin crossword and for once I got absolutely all of the answers and didn't have to make any guesses and go back and unmake them, lol.

Which has got to be, like, one step lower than copying-and-pasting MSN, lol. Typos preserved.
Nico (4:06 AM 6/18/08): Chickens represent the last dying vestigages of existential and aerodynamic irony. Sarah (4:06 AM 6/18/08): The sad thing is I 100% understood that. Nico (4:08 AM 6/18/08): The surprising thing is all words were in t9 dict. Night
So today was...weird. Got up and went to Lions and drama ensued and ARGH I'm tired of typing about it. However, the guy that I've been talking to has been very sweet, letting me rant. :) (And I found out that a guy I know who's happily married, with a daughter, and another on the way any day now, met his wife online. ^_^)
So after that I came home. My address labels were here (finally!) after having been misprinted the first time. I was online for a while, chatting with one of the parties involved and said Internet Guy (okay, okay--it's Cody), and sorting books until about six, then talked with Cody while he was on his way home, and hung up around seven, at which point (having been laying on my bed anyway) I fell asleep. Nico texted me a couple of times and I woke up long enough to reply and then fell back asleep, until he texted me after he got home. He woke me at 1:30 and asked me to sign into MSN, and while I was there I realized I was hungry and proposed that we go get food.
Got into my car and it wouldn't start. -_-* No idea why. And we're not talking it just wouldn't turn over, but if I turn the key partway, the clock doesn't come on or anything. I'm thinking the battery is probably dead. *sigh*
So we took Nico's car, which is having issues, too. It worked fine to get us to McD's, then to the Taco Bell lot where we ATE the McD's, and then when we went to leave it wouldn't start. GAH. So we had to push it over to where TB employees are allowed to park when on shift, then we each had to walk home. We kept texting each other to make sure neither of us got murdered, lol.
AAAAAND I'm still awake. It's daylight out now. I'm afraid if I go to sleep now I'll miss all appointments/meetings, so I'm just killing the time until my mechanic cousin is likely to be at work, to ask what he thinks it is. (Probably the battery. IDK who'll be able to jump it. I'll call Kristy first and go from there, I guess.) I have an interview with the local paper at 1:30 (for a job, lol, I should probably specify XD) and a Lions committee meeting at 3, so I have to get this all taken care of early. Sigh.
Best moment of the night: Nico and I were sitting on the sidewalk at Taco Bell, eating our McD's. He asked when Cody's birthday was and I told him, then he hacked up a bit of phlegm and spit it out and said "Hmm, cancer." I thought he was referring to the fact that he's a smoker and HE'S TOTALLY GOING TO DIE HINT HINT IF YOU'RE READING THIS NICO, but then he was all "OMG, no, I mean his zodiac!" Lol.
And in other news I've become re-addicted to the Sims. Then again I've found a custom item that raises all a Sim's stats except environment to full, including Mood and Aspiration. Hee. This is good, because my kid got taken away by social services due to his bad grades. I screwed up and he transitioned to Child at the wrong time of day, so he'd go to school and come home having reached Energy Desperation and he'd pass out. By the time he'd had enough rest, he didn't have time to get his homework done before the bus came. In retrospect I probably could have solved this by having him skip a day of school, but anyway I had to exit without saving. It was pretty heartbreaking watching his mom cry. :( Yay for Cosmic Rewind, lol. He's now a very well-adjusted Teen, with a better haircut than the one the game spontaneously generated for him. XD
And I still like House+Cameron, but if the Sims of them I downloaded are any indication, they would have really ugly babies. Lol. Probably because his face is so narrow and hers is so round. It's possible to combine the two manually without being completely uggo, but the game genetics fail at mixing them properly, lol. | |

Your Attention Span is Medium
|

Your attention span is just about average.
You may think that you have a short attention span...
But being distracted is something most people struggle with.
The most important thing is that you're aware that your mind wanders.
If you find yourself daydreaming, you can usually snap out of it.
It may be tough to concentrate at times, but you can do it... if you want to!
|
Lol. Kinder than I was anticipating. XD
What the House Test Says About You
|

You are happy with who you are, and you don't have an inflated sense of self importance. You do your own thing quietly. You don't take up a lot of space.
You are very community oriented. You like to buy local, know your neighbors, and live in a neighborhood that matches your personality.
You are a calm, contemplative, and smart person. You take ideas very seriously.
You look good in a low maintenance sort of way. You do the minimum required to be attractive.
You find it hard to be enthusiastic about much. You are a picky person.
|
Sounds about right. Though on that last one--maybe, but when I DO get enthusiastic, I get ENTHUSIASTIC, lol.

|

Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom
What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart

You Don't Need a Man, but You Want One!
|

You like having a guy in your life, and overall, you prefer not to be single.
You won't go out with a guy out of desperation.. you rather be alone.
However, when you're single, you do tend to obsess a little over dating.
Because no matter how good your single life is, it's better with a great guy around.

How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something & you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know? How many times have you felt 'guilty' asking a LJ friend a question that should be 'obvious'? Well, here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me anything. Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not allowed to get even slightly irritated at any of the questions--we've all missed things before. Even if there are things you don't think you've missed, but you're just curious about, go ahead and ask. I'll answer ANY question. | |

Ten Things You Want To Say To Ten Different People: 1. I think I wrecked our relationship permanently. I seriously fucked up. I went to sleep last night with the thought that I should contact you first thing in the morning because I hadn't seen you and then you called. 2. We're never going to see 100% eye to eye, but you've opened my eyes to a lot of prejudice. I'm ashamed to admit to you that I once condoned and even supported that. 3. When I first saw you, I honestly thought you were too pretty to talk to me. Glad I was wrong. 4. I have decided that I have enough insecurities of my own and that I'm much healthier as a person since I quit worrying about conforming to yours, too. 5. Sometimes I wonder what you would have been like if you had lived, but I don't actually wish for it, because I realize that there's a good possibility that if you had, I would never have existed. 6. I figured that if there was anyone who wouldn't change because she had babies, it would be you. And as much as I love them all, I was wrong about that--sometimes I feel like we have zero in common. 7. I know you're trying to protect your daughter from bad influences, but I would really love to be able to MSN with my niece. Let her back on the internet. It's not all bad. 8. You're the only biological relative I have that actually gets me and if you had skipped the reunion, I probably would have, too. 9. You're more wishy-washy than I remembered from when I was a kid. 10. Be patient with me...I think I like you. No. I know I like you. It's just a matter of how much.
Nine Things About Yourself: 1. I own over a thousand books and I've read the majority of them. 2. I'm allergic to seafood. 3. I can never think of what to put in these "random facts about YOU!" things. 4. I'm addicted to LiveJournal. 5. I want to have purple hair at least once before I die. 6. I think the Wall Of Avatars on my MySpace says more about me than anything else I could have ever put together. 7. I also think that there is no one else on earth besides myself who would understand 100% of the avatars in said wall, due to the diversity of the fandoms and quotes and such. 8. I love cats. 9. I own 31 pairs of shoes.
Eight Ways To Win My Heart: 1. Be creative--if you can amuse/intrigue me, you've won half the battle. "Fat penguin." "...?" "I wanted to say something that would break the ice." <=Waaaay better than something like "So what's your favorite movie?" 2. Create something--write a poem, or a song, or draw something. 3. Don't try to impress me. 4. Do your research. Anyone can send a dozen red roses, it takes a little more effort to know I'd rather have jonquils--or really, that I'd rather you buy me a present that I'll still have five years from now instead of something that'll be dead, gone, and in the trash in a few weeks at the most. 5. Brownies. Nothing funky, just plain old brownies with chocolate frosting. 6. Small, simple gestures go a long way. Leaving me a personal note or fixing something for me trumps spending lots of $$$. 7. Understand that sometimes I am irrational, but if you stick around through it, it'll pass. 8. If I'm not laughing/loling, it's already over.
Seven Things That Cross Your Mind A Lot: 1. My friends, collectively. 2. Lions stuff. 3. Elijah/LotR. 4. Near-future plans (my itinerary for the day/week, getting bills paid on time, etc.). 5. The distant future (more than a year or two away). 6. Ideas for art/fiction and the thought that I don't spend enough time on either. 7. Heh...someone.
Six Things You Wish You Never Did: 1. Called Katchan something that I KNEW full well would press one of her buttons. In retrospect I should have waited and cooled off before I said anything. 2. Entered the Honors Society. I might actually still be in school if I hadn't. 3. Talked to Hannah. I certainly don't anymore. 4. There was this one temper tantrum when I was three (or about to be three) that I actually still feel guilty for throwing, and not just because my parents still tell the story. I have no idea why I was so upset, though I remember being upset. 5. Drank the water in Mexico. IT'S ALL TRUE. 6. Listened to my mother so much.
Five Turn Offs (in a girl if you're a boy, boy if you're a girl): 1. Stupidity, always. 2. Being overly muscular. 3. Preppiness (as differentiated from metrosexuality, which is a turn-on) 4. Obsession with sports. 5. Unavailability.
Four Turn Ons: 1. Intelligence, lol. 2. Artistic creativity in some capacity--music, art, writing... 3. Dark hair+blue eyes. 4. Red hair, lol...
Three Smileys That Describe Your Life: 1. =D 2. XD 3. O_o
Two Things You Want To Do Before You Die: 1. Get married (and everything that entails, wink wink). 2. Become a bestselling author.
One Confession: I've been hesitant to say anything after the last one went so badly, but...I've met someone. | |

Anyone else out there who's not able to get enough of those videos where people set up dominoes in elaborate patterns and knock them all over? You know, they'd be on Sesame Street now and again, and I know I saw one on Mr. Rogers, or on the news... Well, have I got the YouTube channel for you: FlippyCat! Yes. I'm sure there are others. But dude has a CAT who's in almost all the vids, and they're wicked elaborate. My favorites, thus far: Is This Your Card?
