Fun little Quiz

Others see me as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see me as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in my company because of the excitement I radiate.

Here ya go - try this.
Below is Dr Phil's test. (Dr. Phil scored 55; He did this test on Oprah- she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out.
Don't be overly sensitive! The following is pretty accurate and it only takes 2 minutes. Take this test for yourself and send it to your friends. The person who sent it placed their score in the subject box. Do the same before forwarding to your friends. (send it back to the Person who sent it to you)
Don't peek, but begin the test as you scroll down and answer. Answers are for who you are now...... not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees. It's only 10 simple questions, so keep track of your letter answers to each question.
Make sure to change the subject of the e-mail to read YOUR total. When you are finished, forward this to friends/family, and also send it to the person who sent this to you. Make sure to put YOUR score in the subject box.

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 P POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow any plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved attractive body, but rather, to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, totally worn out, shouting " ...WOW...what a ride!

Day 48

I have 48 more days until I leave. Or 5 and a half weeks. 5 and a half weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! It's just around ther corner. my professors were all talking this many weeks guys. It hit me then. I don't have that much longer.
On a different note....I know I said I wasn't going to talk about anything but the trip but this has some relevance. It has relevance in my world anyway. There's this fella in my speech class that I've been eyeing. Very pretty (breeder standards even), tall dark hair and quite humorous (well what I've seen in class) I' ve been trying to work up the nerve to talk to him ask him out and that sort but just haven't gotten there. Today......he talked to me. It's been a long time a year in fact since I've felt butterflies. But they were there today. OK occasionally at times in class I look over and admire and occasionally I'd catch him doing the same. There was quite a bit of that today. Could be cause I wore a skirt. But that's only been the last couple of weeks. I think the kicker was tuesday. Tuesday we had both stayed after class to talk to the professor not long. But he asked if he could do his next speech on Jack Daniels. Yes. I piped up at that moment saying " Mmmm. Jack. My favorite date." The professor laughed. Why is this all relevant? First I tell stories like Edith Bunker. But this same type of thing happened a year ago. I met someone, started talking, alot, and then went our seperate ways for the summer. It's what could happen here. Actually start talking now but when summer comes I'm leaving.
Just met some guys from choctaw that came into the bank. They knew alexis. Said the same things about her that all of us had heard at Jones. That was off the mark. oh well.
We'll see what next week brings with Tyler. I'm going to hope it's more than a couple lines about sleeping between classes. Maybe more along the lines of what are ya doing this weekend? We'll see.

54 day

I bought a digital camera the other day. Now I can immortalize my trip. Leo one of the managers at Walmart was gonna try and give me a discount, but the camera I wanted was already on markdown. It's kinda cool. I got it home and started playing and realized it was returned. There were already batteries in it. There were pictures on it. But I can't find anything wrong with it. I've tried to find wha was broken. Just can't find anything. So I'm keeping it.
Everybody uno. Everybody play.
So I have 5 papers due next week. That's right the week after Spring Break. 5. I still don't have the motivation to write any of them. I have til wednesday and a full saturday to work on em. All hail the procrastinators. I also have an article for a work newsletter due next week. Still working on that one. There are ideas afloat but nothing on paper.
I talked to Vern the other day. I had to ask her what people in general over there think of american girls. Her answer.....Married with Children and American Pie. Floosey sex kittens. Yay!!! Now I'm stressed about meeting her friends. But I'll get over it.
I think I'm done for now.
Goodbye all!

57 Day

I've had another moment of clarity and from now on will be using this kinda as a countdown to my upcoming trip. Mostly because that's all I can think about and if I write it out I might not bug those people around me so much.
There are 57 days til I board the plane for Poland. I got my tickets in the mail or ups'd something today. There are paper tickets in my possession. Awoohoo!!!!! Now I'm waiting on my passport. It should be here soon.

I'm too excited to do anything right now.....I'll try to write later.

Dinty Moore

I figured it was about time that I write a real post with some meat and potatoes in it. This is still Dinty Moore tho.
My back is doing fine. My nerves weren't cauterized as thought. I got to the spine hospital and the nurse asked me what I was having done in my own words. So I tell her and it sounds nothing like what was written down for me. I ended up getting the same shot I got a little over a year ago. That was a facet joint block. The doc injects steriods and numbing meds in my facet joint. Only this time i got a total of four shots at one time. I have two bee sting lookin things on my back/hip. It feels fine. The other facet joint hurts tho. It's not nice.

I bought my passport yesterday. I'm really doing this. I'm really going to go to Poland. I'm getting enough money back on my taxes that I can buy my plane ticket in the next couple weeks. I need to take my hat out of the ring for that assitant manager's job in Edmond. I need to talk to my manager and HR dept about a leave of absence rather than quitting my job. I need to buckle down on my school work and not let this trip get me too excited.

Cole came home for Jen's bday party last night. It was interesting. Got a little tipsy. Not drunk, tipsy, but let's leave it at that.

Anyway, I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed and prolly gonna watch the osu game while I'm at it.

My Eurotrip

I started looking for tickets to go to Poland for next summer when I found one for this summer. For $925 I could fly to Poland. See my sister, travel Europe with her. Then prices went up. $956. Still cheaper than everything else but rising prices could keep rising. If they keep rising I can't go this summer. Have some saved up. Not all but some. I have this great opportunity. I won't pass it up. Whatever it takes. I'm going. I talked with Vern today. She's going to have her dad look for deals. She also said that you can fly to Ireland from Poland for one Euro. That's only 1.33 USD. Poland, Ireland, Greece, who knows what else. I can't let this pass me by.

Wednesday, March 02, 2005

Well, tomorrow I'm getting poked again. Yep, I'm having my nerves cauterized. So if ya try to get a hold of me...I will probably be out of it.

I've forgotten everything I wanted to write. Again.
So goodnite
