    i like quizzes

    Your Sexy Halloween Costume Is
    Beer Garden Girl
    You Are Mostly Secure
    In general, you feel confident and together.
    But the wrong thing can happen, and all of a sudden, you're not feeling so secure.
    Luckily, your insecurities don't last long... at least, not usually.
    So the next time you're feeling insecure, try to snap out of it - and remember the confident woman you are!
    You Are a Fun Girl!
    You are all about having fun - and you don't need to drink to have a good time
    Sure, you've thrown back more than a few every so often
    But getting totally stupid and wasted is not your style
    You're the life of the party, by keeping everyone laughing and smiling
    You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Busy
    While a relationship sounds nice, you're strapped for time
    Whether you're legitimately busy or just making excuses...
    ... You don't give men enough of your time.
    As nice as "instant love" would be, there's just no such thing.

    voting is yay

    I sent my absentee ballot in for the upcoming elections; you should too.  If you're far away.  If not, go vote in person!  Let's say bye bye to Santorum, shall we?

    Along those lines... I love Stephen Colbert.

    On an unrelated note, I also enjoy Jimmy Kimmel.

    Finally, Mark Sahba has a kinda pod-casty thing goin' on about Milwaukee Rep.  It's some interesting listening.

    Emotionally, a lot of old baggage may feel as if it's dropped into your lap from out of the blue. Initially you might feel overwhelmed, but deal with these feelings as they come. You can get through this.

    Guys on Ice

    If this isn't on your wish list for Christmas.... it should be. 

    Saturday, October 7, 2006

    Claire
    You scored 60% kindness, 26% courage, 21% seedy past, and 30% secretiveness!

    "Don't talk to me about the baby. I'm sick of everyone telling me what to do."


    You are Claire. You are a very kind and caring person. You're not the bravest on the island, but you will stand up for yourself when the need arises. Compared to the other survivors, you have a pretty clean past and you're open and honest about most things. It's a good thing, too - Turniphead needs you to be nurturing and caring in order for him to grow up and NOT become the antichrist. Luckily, Charlie seems more than happy to assist you.

    Your polar opposite is: Sawyer. You are similar to: Charlie and Sun.



    My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
    free online dating free online dating
    You scored higher than 99% on kindness

    You scored higher than 99% on courage

    Half Life review

    ...can be found here"Long, gauzy curtains of white billow around Goeffrey M. Curley’s vaguely surreal set. The curtains swish around during very fluid changes of scenery, occasionally revealing very real people in very real bits of furniture. Conversations are started, abandoned and routinely left hanging in the ceaselessly dreamlike flow of events."

    You know you're from Philly when...

    *Before we begin this nice list, I'd like to point out that in the game last night, I was rooting for the Packers.  I mean, come on, how could any Guys on Ice fan NOT be rooting for Brett Favre?*

    ...bold it if its true of you...

    You've never referred to Philadelphia as anything but "Philly." And New Jersey has always been "Jersey."

    You refer to Pennsylvania as "PA."

    You know how to pronounce Bryn Mawr, Schuylkill, Bala Cynwyd, Duquesne, Punxsutawney, Susquehanna, and Allegheny.

    You know what a "Mummer" is.

    You can use the phrase "fire hall wedding reception" and not even bat an eye.

    You absolutely hate T.O.

    You really miss Y-100.

    At least 5 people on your block have electric "candles" in all or most of their windows all year long.

    Words like "hoagie", "sticky buns", "shoo-fly pie", "pierogies" and "pocketbook" actually mean something to you.

    You know the time and location of every "wing night" in a 20 mile radius.

    You consider an exotic vacation to be a trip to Ocean City, Virginia Beach, or Myrtle Beach.

    You think very little of an Amish buggy on the road.

    You’ve run up the steps to the art museum emulating Rocky at least once.

    You know that Intercourse, Climax, Virginville, Paradise, Mars, and Slippery Rock, Blue Ball, and Bird in Hand are all PA towns.

    You love Birch Beer.

    You consider Pittsburgh to be "out west," and you know the fastest way to Philly is the Turnpike.

    When the forecast said snow, you stayed up waiting for them to announce that school was cancelled.

    You know that more than two inches of snow will at least get you a two hour delay.

    You have an uncontrollable urge to buy bread and milk when you hear the word "snow."

    You live within two miles of a plant that makes potato chips, corn chips, pretzels, candy, or ice cream, or that packages turkeys, beans, or bologna.

    You think the roads in any other state are smooth.

    Refer to something as "a whole nother," e.g., "That's a whole nother issue."

    You punctuate every sentence with, "You know" at least twice.

    You want olive oil, not mayonnaise on your hoagie.

    Your favorite desert is water ice. (pronounced "wooder" ice)  (okay, I don't really say wooder..)

    You find yourself using "yo" and "youse guys" when talking long-distance to family members.  (I say it when talking to anyone, really.)

    You find yourself at a nice restaurant thinking "I wonder if they have cheese steaks?"

    You visit New York and are impressed by how clean it is.

    You've had more than one debate on why Wawa is better than Sheetz.

    You call sprinkles on top of your ice cream cone "jimmies".

    You can't imagine lunch without a Tastykake.

    A vacation at the Jersey shore is better than going to an island (there's more stuff to do, plus you know everybody.)

    You know where to find the Rocky statue.

    You've had more than one heated discussion on why Pat's, Geno's, Jim's, or any of the other cheesesteak places is the best and all of the others suck.

    You've never been to the Liberty Bell, or the only time you were there was on a class trip in third grade.

    You know what and where "Boathouse Row" is

    You will buy a pretzel from anyone, anywhere without even thinking of where it was - or where his hands have been.

    You can't imagine a breakfast without scrapple.

    You don't know what a sub is, but you think they are trying to describe an imitation HOAGIE.

    You aren't a bandwagon Sixers fan, you loved them when they sucked, and before they had A.I.

    You go to The Gallery or South Street in the summer time just to chill.  once or twice..

    You call the Dallas Cowboys the Cowgirls.

    When every year a team makes it close to or to the post season and yet every year you still find your self saying i know how this is gonna end...there's always next year.

    If you never took a field trip to anywhere other than the franklin institute, the zoo, the art museum, or the museum of natural science

    If you listen to Preston and Steve EVERY morning.

    If you know every word to the theme song from the fresh prince of Bel Air.

    If you know what it means if someone refers to something as a "jawn"
