Tuesday Two Week Ten

The questions:

Question A:
What was the last song you heard on the radio that really hit anerve with you?  What about it made you really feel like it was written about you?

QUESTION B:
If your worst enemy is someone besides you, what would it take to resolve the situation...and what would it take for you to be the one to start that process?

I choose A because I wanted to answer it the first time around. Now the answer is different then it would've been though. Christmas Shoes would be the last one played on the radio but Holes in the Floor of Heaven would be the last one I heard. Christmas Shoes is a very touching song and it gives me goosebumps. It's about this little boy that wants his mama to look beautiful if she meets Jesus Christmas Eve. He tries to buy her a pair of gold shoes (just her size) but doesn't have enough money. He asks the person behind him what is he gonna do because somehow he has to buy her those Christmas shoes. (Can you tell I'm quoting the song liberally?) So the singer of the song (who was behind him) lays the money down, s/he (depending on the version of the song) just had to help him out. It gives me goosebumps just writing that.
Next, Holes in the Floor of Heaven. If you haven't heard it, you're missing out. It's another beautiful song by Steve Wariner. As some of you know, my great-grandma passed away ten days ago (12/15). I wasn't very close to her but when we were at the funeral home my mum had made a CD to be played. One of the songs was Holes in the Floor of Heaven. It starts out from the singer's perspective. He was one day shy of eight years old when his grandma passed away. A broken hearted little boy, blowin out that birthday cake. His mom told him "don't be sad because Grandma's watchin you today. There's holes in the floor of heaven and her tears are pourin down, that's how you know she's watchin wishin she could be here now and sometimes when you're lonely just remember she can see cuz there's holes in the floor of heaven and she's watchin over you and me." (Couldn't keep from quoting.) It goes on to talk about how he falls in love and gets married to a woman he thought he'd grow old with. She passes away and once again he remembers the holes in the floor of heaven. His little girl is getting married and he says "It's a shame your mom can't be here now to see your lovely smile" and he'd obviously told her about the holes because "as the rain comes pourin down she takes [his] hand says Daddy don't be sad cuz I know Mama's watching now". This song made me cry when I heard it at the funeral.

Saturday Six Episode 88
1. How much of your Christmas shopping and holiday card mailing do you have left to accomplish? When do you expect to finish it if you haven't already?

Okay, it's Christmas Day so this is kinda odd but, I'm late. I have to send out ALL my cards and gifts still and still have to MAKE the gifts. I'm going to do 'em either today or tomorrow or something.

2. When giving gifts to co-workers or casual friends, how much importance do you place on the value of the gift you're giving them versus the value of the gift you imagine they're giving you?

Umm... idk?

3. What are you secretly hoping someone will give you for Christmas that you haven't specifically asked for?

I've already got my Christmas gifts but, one thing I wanted was Sparks' new books and my grandmother got them for me last night. :)

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): Which Jones Holiday Soda Flavor are you?

You Are Pecan Pie SodaSweet, but totally nutsWhat Jones Holiday Soda Are You?

If you paid me enough.

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #78 from Carly: If you could step into the life of any fictional Christmas character -- Scrooge, Rudolph, Frost, etc. -- and live that part, which character would you choose and why?


Ummm... gosh. I have no idea, honestly. Cindy Loo Who in the cartoon version. Because she's so cute.

Saturday Six Episode 89

1. Which of the following generally costs you more: a normal trip to your barber/hairstylist, your usual lunch at your favorite restaurant, the most recent amount you paid to fill up your gas tank, or your biggest single contribution to a single charity in 2005?

I haven't paid for any of these things.

2. What drink -- alcoholic or not -- do you drink entirely too much of?

Soda

3. Did you receive a Christmas card from anyone you didn't send one to? Did you send them a belated card in return?

Yes. B and Sara and I plan on sending them each one (along with some other people) but haven't sent them out yet.

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What is most important in your life?

Fun is most important in your life.


Having a high focus on fun indicates that you value your own enjoyment over anything else.  And there is nothing wrong with that.  Your motto is we're here for a good time - not a long time.

5. Before taking the quiz, which of its categories (career, love, money, health, family or fun) would you have said would be your answer?

Love.

6. Do you believe in soulmates? Do you think that there are at least one out there for every person, that there is a single "true" soulmate for every person, or that there aren't soulmates for everyone?

In a sense, yes. I believe there is someone out there for everyone but I don't know about the whole "one person for everyone" thing. I believe that there is someone for everyone but that who you are meant to be with changes. Like when you're 17 your sweetheart might be your soulmate. S/he's who you're meant to be with at that point. But that same person is not always the right person for you when you're 27 or 42 or 56 or 98. But there IS someone for everyone.

A Weekend with Patrick

Saturday Six...

1. You're producing a school program for the holidays and you learn that there will be major objections if you include in your musical selections the traditional Christmas hymns that reference the "true meaning of Christmas." Assuming that there are secular tunes (like "Frosty the Snowman") already included in the program, what do you do with the hymns? Do you allow them to go as is, do you use the melody and rewrite the words, do you include as many pieces of music from other religions as possible, or do you remove all but the secular songs?

I keep the hymns and add a couple pieces from other religions.

2. What percentage of your Christmas shopping is done at this point? When do you expect to have it finished if you haven't already finished?

None but I'm making everything. I've gotta get my ass moving.

3. What was your favorite board game to play as a kid? Is it still your favorite now?

*thinks* Candy Land. Now my fav's Life.

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What famous artist should paint your portrait?
<br ="">Edvard Munch



Edvard Munch should paint your portrait.  You are a very emotional person.  You are always up for a good talk with one of your friends.  You don't like to keep things bottled up.  Often, you are friendly and outgoing, but that can change very easily to being introverted and cold.

5. How accurate is this quiz's description of you?

6. If you could go back in time and have one more picture taken with a deceased loved one, who would you select and why?

Screw the picture. I want the TIME to get to know them, to get to spend with them, to love on them. Either my great-grandpa, my uncle Randy, my dog Duchess, or one of my cats Smokey or Tiger.

Your age is the equivalent of a dog that is 2.25753424657534 years old.


5. From the same quiz, what does it say your "Life Path Number" is, and do you agree with its description?

Five.

A Life Path 5 person is usually very versatile, adventurous, and progressive. With a 5 life path, you are one of those people who is always striving to find answers to the many questions that life poses. (yep) You want to be totally unrestrained, as this is the sign of freedom and independence. (again, yep) You abhor routine and boring work, and you are not very good at staying with everyday tasks that must be finished on time. (is that why i can't focus!?) You are, however, a good communicator, (yes i am) and you know how to motivate people around you, perhaps inclining you to be a teacher of some sort. A love of adventure may dominate your life. This may take the form of mental or physical manifestation, but in either case, you thrill to the chance for exploration and blazing new trails. You are apt to be multi-talented, but just as likely to suffer from some lack of direction, and there is often some confusion surrounding your ambition. (both correct)

On the average, the number 5 personality is rather happy-go-lucky; living for today, and not worrying too much about tomorrow. (WRONG!)  It is important for you to mix with people of a like mind, and try to avoid those that are too serious and demanding. (wrong) It is also important for you to find a job that provides thought-provoking tasks rather than routine and redundant responsibilities. You do best dealing with people, but the important thing is that you have the freedom to express yourself at all times. (yes) You have an innate ability to think through complex matters and analyze them quickly, but then be off to something new.

In the most negative application or use of the 5 energies, you could become very irresponsible in tasks (exactly) and decisions concerning your home and business life. The total pursuit of sensation and adventure can result in your becoming self-indulgent and totally unaware of the feelings of those around you. In the worse case situations negative 5's are very undependable and self-serving.

tickle quizzes

Victoria, a Glamorous look will make you picture perfect

Ooh-la-la! Whether you're attending fashionable parties or throwing your own special gatherings, you always like to put your best foot forward. That's why your perfect holiday look is something that makes you as dazzling and beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside. From sparkles to jewels to bright colors to black, you know how to dress up and show off whatever you've got on.

You probably don't have Santa's sleigh perched on your roof, and we doubt you've ever worn a sweater that sings carols, but you're definitely a sweet and charming soul who knows exactly what the holidays are all about: spending time with family and friends. Still, there's no reason you can't be snuggled in cashmere and silk while you celebrate!

What's your picture perfect holiday look?

Victoria, Cute Guys tickle you pink

Admit it — you're a flirt at heart. And you don't mind putting yourself out there to get a guy's attention. Making people feel interesting and at ease is just second nature for a smooth operator like you. Which helps explain why nothing makes you happier than that feeling of falling in love, being in love, or staying in love.

Did anyone ever call you boy-crazy? Looks like they were right on the money. You're always on the lookout for a smile or wink from the right guy — whether he's a long-term love or a cute new crush. And we know you'll wink back.

What tickles you pink?

Victoria, your style profile is Chic and Sleek

Calm, cool, collected. Your style statement is all about casual elegance. Whether an impeccable pantsuit or slim-fitting bootcut jeans, your look tends to be on the minimalist side with an emphasis on a perfect fit. And while you may not be one for frilly embellishments, we'd guess you have a few irreplaceable accessories — a croc belt, a turquoise necklace, a silk scarf — that you couldn't live without.

Chances are your friends envy your seemingly effortless, pulled-together appearance. And what's not to love? It's a look that's been cultivated over years of knowing what you like, knowing what looks good on you, and sticking with it.

What's your style profile?

1. Have you ever had a dream that you felt was a message from some "higher power?" Do you think it's possible to receive such messages through dreams?

Umm... not really. I believe dreams are your subconscious' way of working through the problems in your every day life. I do think it's possible to receive such messages however.

2. How much does a person's musical preference tell you about them?

Definitly tells you a bit but, it's not the be all and end all.

3. What time did you get up Friday morning? Were you part of the shopping madness?

Like 9 or 10-ish. No but I did go to the mall that day.

4. Take this quiz: What religion do you fit in with?

You fit in with:
Taoism

Your ideals mostly resemble those of the Taoist faith.  Spirituality is the most important thing in your life.  You strive to live by all of your ideals, and live a very intellectually focused life.

80% spiritual.
20% reason-oriented.

      You scored 64% Organization, 71% abstract,  and 49% extroverted!                        This test measured 3 variables.

First, this test measured how organized you are.  Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.

Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint.  For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.

Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert.By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and anextrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert wassomebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks moreabout herself.

You are mostly organized, more abstract, and both introverted and extroverted.

Most people either love or hate Elmo.  I hope you love Elmo, because that's who you are.

You are both somewhat organized. You have a goodidea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonablyclean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. Elmo has thesame basic approach. His place is pretty tidy, but he doesn't spend allof his time cleaning it up.

You both are abstract thinkers. You definitely are not afraid to takechances in life. You only live once. You may notice others around youplaying it safe, but you are more concerned with not compromising yourdesires, and getting everything you can out of life. This is a veryromantic approach to life, but hopefully you are also grounded enoughto get by. Elmo's whole life is based on fantasy and his imagination.In the beginning he was a regular character, but now he spends most ofhis time in this fantasy world.

You are both somewhat extroverts. Like Elmo, you probably like to havesome time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with yourfriends, and you aren't scared of social situations. Elmo spends someof his time with real friends, but he also needs some time just to chatit up with his goldfish.

The other possible characters are
Oscar the Grouch
Big Bird
Cookie Monster
Ernie
Snuffleupagus
Kermit the Frog
Grover
The Count
Guy Smiley
Bert

Name the top seven stores where you are most likely to do the majority of your Christmas shopping this year. If you can't name seven, name as many up to seven as you can. You can also include online retailers, too.

Last year.

5. Tell us something really nice about the last person you read an email from.

I'm not *quite* sure who the last person I got an e-mail from was. I've gotten a few today. I think it was either Michael or Sara. Michael (whose journal is Confessions of a Madman) is an amazing guy. He (along with others) helped me through my original struggle with SI and forced me to accept the term self-mutilation as applied to myself. I still don't like it but I see how some might think that. He's always there if ever I need him. And Sara is equally as amazing. She, too, helped me through that struggle and offers advice as best she can when I ask for it. She has a wonderful child-like way of looking at certain things. Not naive but optomistic and innocent, I suppose is how to describe it.


Now I've really gotta write that global essay! Damn it...

3. What group did you belong to in school...band, cheerleader, sports, nerds, loners, wanna bes?  I'm just "normal". I mean, I'm not popular but I'm not completely outcast. I'm not a trackie or a jock of any sort. I'm just kinda normal I guess. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Again, I'd rather not answer. You really wanna know, ask. I might tell you.

  10.If you could tell kids in high school one thing you learned there what would it be? Could we please quit it with the flipping bomb threats? And could y'all stop treating the hallways like a hotel room? Thank you. ::that sickly sweet ultra-fake Barbie smile::

Tuesday Two

QUESTION A:
You are invited to a party at a nudist colony through a program that seeks to introduce the concept to people who aren't already members.  You know the following things going in:  1) There'll be nothing "inappropriate" going on, 2) You won't know anyone who is there, and 3) You'll never again see any of the people who are present for the rest of your life.  Given these conditions, would you attend?

or

QUESTION B:
While housesitting for a close friend, you discover some nude photos of your friend that were left out in the open, and apparently completely by accident.  Would you look at the photos, and would you tell your friend that you found them?

Umm.... I'll go for question A, I believe. Firstly, the question doesn't say I have to be naked. Secondly, it's a new experience and I'll try (almost) anything once. Thirdly, for the most part, I'm comfortable with my body and I think this would force me to be completely comfortable with it. That does not mean I'll join a nudist colony on my own, start acting in porn, or show everyone my body. I'm more modest and care more about my rep than to do that.

I am so so far behind with journals! I'm working my way through my alerts. I've got like 150 of 'em.

I haven't ever bought myself anything big ever. For last Christmas, I got the coat I wanted and for this Christmas, I'm getting my class ring. :D

4. Take this quiz:  Which soap opera does your life most resemble?
Your life most resembles:
General Hospital

Your life mostly resembles those of the characters on General Hospital.  Although you can be melodramatic at times, you lead a fairly normal life.  You love to hear gossip, but you are not much of a spreader.  Your friends love you because you are reliable and extra fun to be around.


                Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com

Questions

I hadn't really planned to do any of these things tonight but, I'm catching up on entries and found this at Meg's journal.

What do you hope to accomplish with the little bit of time left in the year? I want to get the grades I know I can get (aka at least a B in every class) and to build up the courage to ask JJ out for coffee or something.

What was your biggest disappointment this year? Umm... Josh deciding a slut was a better gf than I (never dated him but, wanted to), my cats/Charlie/my uncle dying, and not getting into math a/b honors w/Stewart.

Your biggest surprise in 2005? having my first boyfriend and having my first "guy laying on top of me and licking my neck" moment(s)

Your happiest moment in 2005? umm...all the inside jokes cultivated during lunch, coming out of my depression, and all the flirting I did.

What do you hope to change in 2006? I wanna get a job before the year is out and if not this year than next. And I wanna be a better Christian next year.

All in all, how was 2005 for you? ::thinks back over the year:: Stressful. I started the year depressed and heart broken and went through various degrees of that for the year. My friends proved themselves to be amazing and supportive though and they got me through (you know who you are and I love you for everything you helped me through and for just being you!). There were good times and bad times. I dealt with death for the first time and I've dealt with a friend being pregnant in the past few months. It's been tough and it's going to keep being tough but, I came out of my depression (mostly thanks to my friends and Bryan) and I realized who's really gonna be there when I fall. Oh, and I've been dealing with temptations to SI for this entire calendar year. Death and SIing, CF and cancer. It's been tough but, there were definitly some good times. Oh, and I learned I can flirt *and* (sry but, I have to say this) I actually have boobs this year. lol (Seriously, this time last year, my shirts fit me a lot differently. This year, I actually have to be careful of what I wear b/c if it's too low cut, I'm liable to flash some cleavage. Enough boob talk though.)

So how was your year?

Tuesday Two

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC #1:    SONGS

QUESTION A:
Name a song that somehow connects you and another person:  a loved one, an ex, or a friend or family member...and describe how it became "your song."

or

QUESTION B:
What was the last song you heard on the radio that really hit anerve with you?  What about it made you really feel like it was written about you?

I pick A. I wanna answer both but I'm not allowed. So I pick A. I'll start with the song between my ex bf and I. He doesn't know that it's kinda our song but, it is. Listen to Your Heart by DHT (i think). It reminds me of him. The lyrics are about "[listening] to your heart before you tell him good-bye". When I first heard it, I was debating whether I should dump him or not. I wound up dumping him but that song always reminds me of him.
Another song that's attached to someone is Private Malone is attached to Jaci. I don't remember why but, it made me cry the first time I heard it after Mom moved in with Ray. Then there's Wide Open Spaces and Jule. Once again, don't remember how it came to be. Oh, and my mommy sings You Are My Sunshine for me. That's our song. She sang it to me when I was little. My dad sings "my girl" and "if tomorrow never comes" to me. And I sing "animal crackers" the Shirley Temple song to Sami now and then.






THIS WEEK'S TOPIC #2:    YOUR WORST ENEMY

QUESTION A:
If you feel that you are your worst enemy, then think about the worst quality you have that makes you feel this way:  if you had the power to remove that quality from your personality with the snap of a finger, would you?  Why or why not?

or

QUESTION B:
If your worst enemy is someone besides you, what would it take to resolve the situation...and what would it take for you to be the one to start that process?

Ummm.... I choose A again. I beat myself up, I criticize myself, I put myself down, and I assume others do it too. I tend to think the worst of myself at times. Not always but, enough. No I wouldn't. I would limit it. A healthy dose of skepticism and reality and criticism is good but, what I get sometimes is overkill.

Sunday Seven

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
You are given control of a cable network to run a seven-movie Halloween marathon.  Which movies would you choose?

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment.  (To be considered "first to play," a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)


1. Psycho - Hitchcock's version


Gosh. I can't remember any of the movies I watched with Liz that night. I don't watch scary movies often. Umm.... Saw. The Grudge. The Ring (but only if I can sit w/Liz and feed off her terror). I'm out of ideas...

Saturday Six

1. What is a bigger pet peeve for you:  someone trying to talk on a cell phone during a movie, a baby crying in a restaurant, a dog barking on your street, or music played loud enough to rattle windows.

Someone on their cell during a movie

2. What is your favorite cologne or perfume that you wear most often?  Which one is the one you like the scent of, but don't wear often or at all?

Still by J.Lo... Exclamation

face to face

4. Earlier this week, I posted a personality quiz:   If you haven't taken it, please do; if you already have, how accurate were the results compared with your true personality.

I'm too lazy to do the test. Actually, mostly the scoring thing is confusing me b/c I keep forgetting which question I'm on.

5. When was the last time you feel you got as much sleep as you really needed in a single night?

A couple weeks ago.

6. If a stranger walked up to you and handed you a briefcase with enough money to pay off every debt you had down to the penny, do you think you could start from then on living debt-free?

If I had a job that would pay me adequately, probably.

Friday Five

1. If you had all the money in the world and could choose to own anything, what you would get and why?

I don't know. I honestly don't know. I don't have many physical things that I crave. I suppose the perfect house and my '66 red convertible corvette.

2. If you were to do something that scares you, what would it be?

Bungee jumping. It would terrify me to put my life in the hands of a bungee cord and jump head-first of a bridge or w/e but it would thrill me so much! I can't wait to do it.

3. What was your first pet?

my Smokey. ::tears::

4. What's the farthest you've traveled?

Washington, D.C. (about 400 miles from here)

5. If you were a season, which one would you be and why?

Autumn or the first few weeks of winter before it gets gray and boring. Autumn is beautiful and romantic and I am definitly romantic and I think I'm beautiful. Before it gets monotonus, winter is beautiful and tranquil and pure. And it's so picturesque.

Saturday Six

1. How many products throughout your home are labelled "antibacterial."

I know my soap is.

2. As a general rule, and assuming any required knocking on wood, how often do you get anything more serious than a sniffle or mild cold?

I only get sick enough to stay home from school maybe once or twice a year. And I only get a sniffle or a cold that's not allergy related a couple times a year.

3. John Scalzi ran this story about research that suggests the increased use of "antibacterial" products aren't necessary for people who are generally healthy, and might be causing the creation of "superbugs" that are resistant to antibiotics.  Are you more likely to avoid these products after reading about studies like this?

Nope. The only thing I know is antibacterial is my bath soap and I kinda have to use this brand. (It makes me less tempting to mosquitoes and I'm allergic.)

4. Take this quiz:  Will you pass the U.S. Citizenship Test?
You Passed the US Citizenship TestCongratulations - you got 9 out of 10 correct!Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test? 
5. Now that the gas prices have dropped just a little (but nowhere near enough), what's the most you've paid for a gallon of gas so far?

I don't pay for gas? $3.09 says my dad

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #76 from Psychfun:   What was your favorite cereal as a kid?  When was the last time you had a bowl of it?
