    Your Dominant Intelligence is Musical Intelligence Every part of your life has a beat, and you're often tapping your fingers or toes. You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time. You are probably a gifted musician of some sort - even if you haven't realized it. Also a music lover, you tend to appreciate artists of all kinds. You would make a great musician, disc jockey, singer, or composer. What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have? You Are A Romantic Realist You are more romantic than 50% of the population. You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance. Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know. And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball... But you'd never admit it to your friends! Are You Romantic or Realistic? You are a sock.



    You are a cozy, fuzzy, warm-hearted person. A lot of your friends describe you as a hopeless romantic. You fall for the opposite sex very easily. But be careful, because usually you don't know what you are getting into, and because you are very sensitive, you can get hurt... especially in early relationships. Also, don't exclude the cold-hearted from your "want-list", because they just might be looking for a kind person to warm up their heart.... or a sock to warm up their feet.

    "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia."

    Charles Schultz Philosophy


    The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the
    "Peanuts" comic strip.


    You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read it straight through, and you'll get the point.


    1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

    2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

    3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.

    4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

    5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.

    6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.



    How did you do?

    The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.

    These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.

    But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.

    Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.



    Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:


    1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

    2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

    3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

    4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

    5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

    6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.


    Easier?


    The lesson:

    The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the
    most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.
    They are the ones that care.

    "The jungle is dark but full of diamonds..." - Arthur Miller (1915 - 2005)

    I had this whole long entry typed up about this semester so far and then it got last.  I'm angry, rarr.  And I'm sure you are, too, but here is something to make you feel better:  click me

    Also, I updated my senior year pix over at Yahoo!.  So ckeck 'em out. 

    And also also, I took a Star Wars quiz, and I was Princess Leia, and there was a nice picture of her from ESB with my fav. hairdo, but alas it is gone in addition to my entry.

     


    Which Sandman Character Are You?

    In honor of that quiz result, here's some of my fav. quotes by Delirium:

    You know the best thing about airplanes? Apart from the peanuts in the little silver bags, I mean. It's looking out of the windows at the clouds, and thinking, maybe I could go walking in there. Maybe it's a special place where everything's okay.

    I like the way colors taste. Except I don't like crimsons...or turquoises...especially when they put their heads into their shells and won't play and when you break their shells to let them out they die...

    I think you're very nice. I think twinkle's a nice word. So's viridian. I met a lady once who had an imaginary fish.

    quiz results

    Found this on Neil Gaiman's blog and it made me laugh...

     

    You Are 27 Years Old 27 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

    Some in black tie; others, body bags by Susan Lenfestey

    It's time to party.

    As the families of bomb-flattened Fallujah huddle in make-shift refugee
    camps, drinking from sewage-filled streams, Iraqi policy mastermind Paul

    Wolfowitz fastens the last stud into his starched collar.

    As the Iraq Survey Group ends its search for WMD, concluding that there
    was
    no imminent mushroom cloud or even a smoking gun, Condi Rice draws
    herself a
    hot bath.

    As Sgt. Kevin Benderman, an Army mechanic with nine years of service,
    refuses a second deployment to Iraq, saying, "You just don't know how
    bad it
    is," Colin Powell pours himself a drink.

    As Specialist Charles A. Graner, miscreant and major-domo of Abu Ghraib,

    shuffles off to prison, Donald Rumsfeld straightens the black tie of his

    tux.

    As the 9/11 widow tucks her children into bed, wondering why the
    recommendations made in "The 9/11 Commission Report" weren't
    implemented,
    Tom Ridge tightens his cummerbund.

    As prisoners charged with no crimes, and given no recourse, languish in
    the
    hellhole of Guantanamo Bay, torture apologist Alberto Gonzales clicks
    his
    cufflinks into place.

    As Dan Rather retires in disgrace over forged documents, former CIA
    Director
    George Tenet, proponent of forged documents about Iraq's nonexistent
    nuclear
    program, adjusts the Medal of Freedom around his neck.

    As the working mother in Chicago wonders how to keep her child from
    being
    left behind now that her special-ed program has been cut, Armstrong
    Williams
    polishes his shoes.

    As Valerie Plame walks away from a distinguished career as a CIA
    "operative," destroyed when her identity was revealed by columnist
    Robert
    Novak, Mr. Novak walks to his limo.

    As Osama bin Laden chuckles in his cave to see America's fortunes sink
    in
    the morass of Iraq and as fresh recruits to his cause multiply like
    flies,
    Dick Cheney pops the cork on a bottle of Dom Perignon.

    As America's trade gap surges and the red ink in the national debt
    bleeds to
    a record level, Treasury Secretary Paul Snow finishes shaving and dabs
    at a
    spot of blood on his chin.

    As the Republican Congress gets ready to underfund everything from Head
    Start to veterans' benefits, Speaker Dennis Hastert checks his profile
    in
    the mirror.

    As Pfc. Francis Obaji, oldest son of an immigrant Nigerian family, is
    zipped
    into a body bag for the sad journey home, Laura Bush zips up her Oscar
    de la
    Renta gown.

    And as his corporate pals slide their millions across the table to dance
    at
    his ball, forgetting for a moment the bottom line that forces them to
    ship
    jobs overseas, George W. Bush pulls on his snakeskin boots.
