Complete sincerity: You believe in being straightforward with others, and you expect the same from them. People would consider you a good listener, and one who is calm and mostly serious. Which Characteristic From the Samurai Code Matches You Best? (You may find out your best trait) brought to you by Quizilla Four things to talk about in this post. First, on Friday, my parents and I went to see Something's Gotta Give with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. Hilarious movie although I didn't need to see Jack's ass or Diane naked. I was also disappointed by Amanda Peet's strip tease. Ah well. My mother's birthday was yesterday so my dad has taken her out to see Harry Connick Jr. this evening. I meanwhile I'm running Windows Update and such on their computer. My parents are dial-up in a T1 world so this is taking forever of course. In case you are keeping score I will be working at the Roxbury Community College starting next semester. Wheelock tur...

You are Comic Book Guy. You are a lazy slob who eats all day and read comics! What a life. By they way here's a hint, wipe the Nacho Cheese off your chin! ~*~What Simpsons Character Are You?~*~ brought to you by Quizilla I was looking for something holiday themed but I was distracted by this. Anywho, I might not be posting for awhile as I am going home for a well deserved break. Truthfully, my posting may become more sporadic next semester ( They'll still happen don't you worry.) due to a full load of classes and a job. (Wherever it may be.) If I can't continue with my reviews, I just want you all to know I enjoyed writing them probably more than you enjoyed reading them. Happy Holidays

I had my second interview today. It went better than I feared last night and my possible supervisors are very nice. They did not hire me on the spot and, frankly, I'd be surprised if I'm not working in Roxbury next semester but hopefully I'm wrong. I think I accurately portrayed that I know many of the skills and am a quick learner. Again that teacher's name was brought up, this time not by me, with a similar reaction. Last night, I played Trivial Pursuit with Her and a couple other friends. I won, although, I think on some level, I was trying to let Her win. Instead of "Harlem," I said a street was named after Malcolm X in SOHO.

Today, I had the first of the two interviews. I had allowed myself an hour and forty-five minutes to get there and it took only an hour- fifteen. The interview, including tour, took twenty minutes. I was hired on the spot which makes me question just why I want this job. It certainly isn't the money... So anyway, I'll have a job next semester no matter how well it goes tomorrow. During the interview, I name dropped the professor of my Online Information class and the two people interviewing me exchanged the funniest look: I'd categorize it as the "poor child" look. It was all I could do not to crack up.

Well, the plan to go home tomorrow is shot to hell. Wednesday and Thursday I have job interviews. The first interview will require me to change subway trains twice. I've never done this let alone by myself. I think this makes me more nervous then the actual interview itself. The downside to this job is the long trip to get there and not getting paid. The other interview on Thursday is just next door and pays but I think these people may be more picky since it involves money. Tomorrow, I have errands to run. I need laundry detergent and a birthday present for my mother. I'm also going to apply for another job here at my school library. I'm not sure when I'll be able to fit in an interview though. It'll have to be Thursday I guess. When I go home on Friday, I'm going into a coma. (If you look at my entries before previously going home, I'm sure I said the same thing.)

You are Quagmire, a disgusting womanizer. You have no respect for women and think of them only as things you use once then get a new one. Like a freaking disposable camera. The super-amazing which Family Guy character are you quiz!!! Sixteen different outcomes!!! brought to you by Quizilla With the fun stuff out of the way, let's get serious again. So here I am, alone with her, or at least as alone as one can get in a busy cafeteria, and all we talk about is when we're going home for break; a conversation we already had of course. I suck. I got a phone call from my father earlier this evening. Because of a death in the church, of a high ranking member, if you will, no less, I could be going home on the bus on Tuesday or getting picked up Friday. Neither option really appeals to me. Before you all are like "You are narcissistic!" I'm upset by this death as well. When I worked in the office, we worked very closely on a few projects and he taug...

You're Ron Weasley! You're not the leader of the pack, but you aren't a follower either. You know that you're not perfect, but you don't really care. You're the most loyal friend someone can have, and you're always there to back people up when they most need it. Which Harry Potter character are you? With Pics brought to you by Quizilla I know we've all taken a dozen Harry Potter quizzes but I thought, what the hell... I don't really have much else to say. (Mwahahaha!!) Saddam has now been captured. If this was accomplished ten years ago under Bush Sr., I wonder how our lives would have been different. On Fox News Sunday this morning Sen. Kerry was asked by Chris Wallace if this event made him want to retract his statement that Bush's foreign policy sucks. Kerry replied, "Not one word." and went on to list for like five minutes all of the president's foreign policy screw-ups such as North Korea, nuclear waste floati...

Now that I have more time to think I have things going through my mind. These will be ignored by the readers of my blog but I need to get them off my chest. How does one know if someone is worth pursuing? What are traits that are too hideous to ignore? If we share different politics, for example, will a relationship work? I can think of two examples where yes, they do: one with people I know and one celebrity example. My experience seems to suggest that when politics entered the picture the relationship went south. I used to be hung up on interests, as Lady Vader may remember. I've met someone here that shares music interests (not all but some) down to favorite song. I don't think even She Who Shall Remain Nameless But Blogged About Frequently and I were at that level. (Ok, yes, we both knew all the words to "You'll Be In My Heart" but who doesn't?) The downside, in this category, as I can see is that she is not into Star Trek! I know inter...

The World Is MINE! by Demonac Name: You will conquer: your Home Town (and rename it South Park). Your title will be: Prince/Princess (you didn't want to be presumptuous) You will succeed by: Sending back a computer virus from the future to eliminate the opposition. Your Enforcers will be: LiveJournal writers (their numbers are ever-swelling, and their criticism can cut you like razor-wire!). Your first act as ruler: Have Pinky and the Brain imprisoned (just in case). Created with quill18 's MemeGen ! Topic One: Pettite out of Pinstripes. Sweet! (I'm amused he wants Clemens to join him in Houston.) I'm not worried about Kevin Brown. Yes, he had a good year last season but John Burkett had a good year the season before joining the Red Sox and look how that turned out. I will also point out Brown is older. Topic Two: Financially, the Red Sox pursuing A-Rod makes no sense at all. Financially was the only reason that made sense in trying to dump Manny but, in...

You will live in Apartment. You will drive a Orange Outback. You will marry Julie Benz and have 3 kids. You will be a Literary agent in Beverly Hills. An Orange Outback? Go to Play Mash if you want to try it for yourself. Tis the season... You are 'Silent Night'! You really enjoy Christmas, and you like your Christmases conventional. For you, Christmas is about family and traditions, and you rather enjoy the rituals of going to church at midnight and turning off the lights before flaming the plum pudding. Although you find Christmas shopping frustrating, you like the excitement of wrapping and hiding presents, and opening a single door on the Advent Calendar each day. You like the traditional carols, and probably teach the children to sing along to them. More than anyone else, you will probably actually have a merry Christmas. What Christmas Carol are you? brought to you by Quizilla

I had my last two classes yesterday and today. Yesterday, I received a care package from my mother's church. The purpose of which is to help college students get through finals. When I received mine, I was halfway finished with the last assignment of the semester due this morning. (That's a fun story but I'm too exhausted to relate it.) Today, I tried to get boots for the second time this week. The first time, on Monday, I was told they had nothing in size 10. Today, all they had in my size was the boots worth $120, $150. A straight male would never pay that much for boots and a gay male would find them way too ugly. So for the next week or so, I will continue to trudge through puddles and snow in my sneakers. I haven't fallen yet but we're due for freezing rain tomorrow... I may be going home Tuesday. I was going to stay for the party I mentioned earlier but, as I also said earlier, my friends will all be gone by the 17th and this boot thing make...

Ok, yes, I'm avoidant to a point. I'm half done with the Role of Research paper though. (Still due tommorrow.) I should explain also that I may be highly obsessive but I'm not compulsive. I've compulsively bought one cd but thats it. I am not narcissistic! I care about other people! As far as the histrionic rating, I don't know what to say. On a certain level, I admit do crave the spotlight but on another level I don't want it at all. After reading the definition, yes, I'll admit I'm moderately schizotypal. I guess, on a certain level, I am moderately borderline. After reading the definition of dependent, I should be thankful I wasn't labeled very high. In other news, Battlestar Galactica will be thoroughly reviewed after it's all done but I will say: Where is Cassiopeia? Will they redo the other episodes?

Disorder Rating Paranoid : Moderate Schizoid : Low Schizotypal : Moderate Antisocial : Low Borderline : Moderate Histrionic : High Narcissistic : High Avoidant : Very High Dependent : High Obsessive-Compulsive : High -- Personality Disorder Test - Take It! -- Many of you who read my blog, and know me well, would you say this is accurate? I am amused by the antisocial level so I guess there's a bright side to this...

It was good. Having Will undercover was kinda fun and, even though it's kinda typical TV, having him kill Allison was an interesting twist. I don't have a problem with him going back to Wisconsin. If the Covenent really wanted him dead, they would have found him. Why Sark thought he was dead just implies to me that he's an idiot, one that tortures his own father but an idiot nonetheless. Not that it's that surprising but apparently "Julia" helped Lazerey fake his own death. Why, I'm still not sure. The fact that Syd apparently willingly had her mind wiped seems to imply Juila is indeed her and did something really bad. The container of flesh labeled "Milo Rimbaldi" suggests to me that he predicted a time that cloning would be possible although why he thought someone would want to, I don't know but remember both Syd and Sloane appear in his journal. Poor Sloane, Syd doesn't know Lindsey put a contract out on her. If I we...

First of all, because of the damn snow, we had a foot and a half fall here in the city, our cheesecake was not delivered on time. Argh! Second, my new mother was on E! Am I losing my mind? Did I ever have one because I can't get that stupid thing out of my mind... You are Wintergreen . You are cool and collected. You are very comfortable with yourself and what you do. Even if you have a lot of responsibilities, you always manage to be in control. You are sometimes laid-back and you are always the voice of reason. However, others may see you as lazy or detached sometimes, unable to act responsibly. Most Compatible With: Lime Which Tic-Tac Flavor Are You? brought to you by Quizilla He-man was very good last night. Of course, if I had to complain about something, it was way too easy to stop the Snakemen and turn Teela, Man-at-Arms and Meckaneck back to normal after being changed into Snake People. I loved how Orko threatened Rattlor into talking by enlargi...

Julia Roberts is 9 years and 363 days older than me. (Same birthday as Deuce.) Nick Lachey was born in November of 1973 surprisingly which would make him age three when I was born... Talk about an "Adventure in Babysitting"...

Who are your Celebrity Parents? by opp_girl_4_tp Your Name Your Mom Julia Roberts Your Dad Nick Lachey Created with quill18 's MemeGen ! Well, at least my mother isn't Jessica Simpson...In the same vein, Julia Roberts wouldn't be a bad mother considering she had to have gotten pregnant at age 10 or so... To update you: I finished the Modern Publishing paper and have started the Role Of Research paper. It's going slower than the other paper which is really not surprising. Ah my first Boston blizzard...I guess I'll have to write that paper... Yesterday, we had a very nice wine and cheese party in the living room of the dorm. Once again, my stereo was blasted for the music. I loved the smoked gouda...You'll remember that this wine and cheese party was supposed to be in October. I'm glad we finally had it. Tomorrow we will have a Goodbye Tea for the December grads of the dorm. At last count, there were ten people graduating this semes...

You are naturally born with a gift, whether it be poetry, writing or song. You love beauty and creativity, and usually are highly intelligent. Others view you as mysterious and dreamy, yet also bold since you hold firm in your beliefs. What Type of Soul Do You Have ? brought to you by Quizilla The Modern Publishing paper will be done today! (Due Tuesday.) Yay! Then I move on to my Role of Research paper. (Due Wednesday.) Eh. I have a question. I'll be done with classes on the 10th. I was planning to stick around for the end of semester party on the 18th but it seems that none of my friends will be going. Do I stick around anyway or just go home? Haven't taken one of these in a while... You are 87.98% pure Average Score: 72.6% Take The Ultimate Purity Test and see how you match up!

You are Captain Jack Sparrow, the heat's gone to your head and you're a little crazy and very unpredictable. You love your rum and your ship and for a Pirate you're a pretty good guy. Which Pirates of the Carribean character are you? brought to you by Quizilla I haven't actually seen this movie but Lady Vader and other women drool over this guy so I guess this is good. As I figured. I seriously bit myself in the ass not doing anything on those papers over Thanksgiving. I haven't finished even one and time is running out! Argh!!! (You may be asking why am I not working on it now. ::shrugs::) I can't stand anime but I guess the following is accurate. Your anime hair color is green. What is your anime hair color? brought to you by Quizilla

You are a Two-Handed Sword What historical European weapon are you? brought to you by Quizilla I don't have much to add after writing that huge post last night but I thought you'd be interested the star of The Whale Rider was on the Tonight Show last night. Finishing my Modern Publishing paper seems harder than I thought. I'm having too much fun with certain sections and having no interest in other sections...

I'm touched I was missed by at least one person. An anonymous reader read one of my stories as well... Thank You Lady Vader for the former. I could have posted while I was home but I went home for a change of pace. I did nothing for days and loved it. On Wednesday, I went home to CT and saw Enterprise which is unusual for me but the WB decided to start their repeats before everyone else. I thought the concept of the episode was good. Having the Xindi collecting all the different blood types would ensure the whole human race wouldn't be left out of dying when the weapon was set off. Archer was right in suggesting that the Xindi were hiding in the past. They had to pick a time where blood type was kept track of so we're talking twentieth century anyway so why not make it 2004? I liked how they had it in Detroit instead of somewhere in California as it has been lately. (I think the TOS episode "City on the Edge of Forever" was Chicago.) I also loved how...
