All the pieces, pieces, pieces of me

Realized that my previous three posts were all tests so I thought I might post some snippets from my recent activities:

Watched American Idol tonight with the girls. Haley's quote of the night regarding Ryan Seacreast - "He's having a bad hair night". This is the first time she's ever seen him or the show so she didn't realize that his hair always looks like that. Her comment about one of the singers - "She sure does scratch her butt a lot."

Went to see the Vagina Monologues with Karyn at Hollins. I really enjoyed it, even if I was one of only three "penises" in the audience.

Played in the snow with the girls. If I figure out how, I'll post a video clip of Grace snowboarding - she rocked!

Studying geometry with Grace and Mattie - yes a square is a polygon, quadrangle, rectangle and rhombus.

Taking the girls to the Pancake House for breakfast when they had a two hour school delay.

Going bowling with the girls and Joel, Monica & Jilian when they came to watch a basketball game that was cancelled. Thanks to my friends for coming out to support my daughters and for being flexible enough to go with the change of plans.

Running 13.3 miles on Sunday.

Redecorating Grace's and Mattie's rooms with fun Target stuff.

Watching the Olympics with the family. Those snowboarders are crazier than I am!

Making my first iTunes purchases - $30 worth.

I think you are all caught up now...

Color me your color darling, I know who you are

My ColorQuiz Results:

Your Existing Situation
Unable to exert the effort to achieve his objectives. Feels neglected, desiring greater security, warm affection, and fewer problems.

Your Stress Sources
Is responsive to outside stimuli and wants to experience everything intensely, but is finding the existing situation extremely frustrating. Needs sympathetic understanding and a sense of security. Distressed by his apparently powerlessness to achieve his goals.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels that he is burdened with more than his fair share of problems. However, he sticks to his goals and tries to overcome his difficulties by being flexible and accommodating.

Your Desired Objective
Urgently in need of rest, relaxation, peace, and affectionate understanding. Feels he has been treated with a lack of consideration and is upset and agitated as a result. Regards his situation as intolerable as long as his requirements are not complied with.

Your Actual Problem
Needs to protect himself against his tendency to be too trusting, as he finds it is liable to be misunderstood or exploited by others. Is therefore seeking a relationship providing peaceful and understanding intimacy, and in which each knows exactly where the other stands.

Your Actual Problem #2
Depleted vitality has created an intolerance for any further stimulation, or demands on his resources. A feeling of powerlessness subjects him to agitation and acute distress. Tries to escape from this by relinquishing the struggle, and by finding peaceful and restful conditions in which to recuperate in an atmosphere of affection and security.

I was born to run, I was born to dream, the craziest boy you ever seen

results from my OkCupid test are in...


The Loverboy
Random Gentle Love Master (RGLMm)

Well-liked. Well-established. You are The Loverboy. Loverboys thrive in committed, steady relationships--as opposed to, say, Playboys, who want sex without too much attachment.

You've had many relationships and nearly all of them have been successful. You're a nice guy, you know the ropes, and even if you can be a little hasty with decisions, most girls think of you as a total catch. Your hastiness comes off as spontaneity most of the time anyhow, making you especially popular in your circle of friends, too.

You know not to make the typical Loverboy mistake of choosing someone who appreciates your good humor and popularity, but who offers nothing in return. You belong with someone outgoing, independent, and creative. Otherwise, you'll get bored. And then instead of surprising her with flowers or a practical joke, you'll surprise her by leaving.


ALWAYS AVOID: The Nymph

CONSIDER: The Window Shopper, The Peach
