Taking Quizzes

Long day cleaning and unpacking. Taking some time to poke around on the intarweb and take some quizzes. Interesting results...

I love the autumn...




Your Autumn Test Results



You are a dynamic, vibrant person. You aren't afraid to pursue your passions.



When you are happiest, you are calm. You appreciate tradition and family. You enjoy feeling cozy.



You tend to be afraid of change. You are never ready for things to be different.



You find solitude to be the most comforting thing in the world. Being alone with your thoughts feels very peaceful.



Your ideal day is active and full. You like to keep busy with your favorite things, and you appreciate a routine.



You are very impatient. You spend more time waiting for something than actually enjoying it.




With the upcoming national election, I thought I'd take a few political quizzes. The next two are parody items, just for fun but I couldn't resist taking both... Obviously I'm 20% something else... hrm...




You Are 8% Republican



If you have anything in common with the Republican party, it's by sheer chance.

You're a staunch liberal, and nothing is going to change that!






You Are 72% Democrat



You have a good deal of donkey running through your blood, and you're proud to be liberal.

You don't fit every Democrat stereotype, but you definitely belong in the Democrat party.



And a relationship quiz to round out the day:




Your True Love Is a Cancer



Why you'll love a Cancer:



Cancer's loyal and sincere heart makes your own sensitive heart melt.

Caring and devoted, a Cancer will take the lead in pursuing you - and not give up!



Why a Cancer will love you:



You're laid back enough to deal with Cancer's little mood swings and freak-outs.

A fellow homebody, you know how make Cancer comfortable and at home with you.

Move Update

Well, it was a very successful day moving. Glender and DJ came over while Clark and I were filling up his truck. (GirlZoot did not make it due to her busy schedule but I'm looking forward to perhaps seeing her tomorrow).

We ran one run over then I headed out to pick up my car with the dolly in it (didn't drive after my cocktails last night). We had lunch and DJ took off to his regularly scheduled weekend. Glender, Mom, Clark, and I went down into the basement (crawl space really) to check out the insulation situation (on walls but not on ceiling. I got the cash for Glender I owed her, and she helped us load up Clark's truck and Mom's car again before leaving.

After several more loads, Clark and I are much better acquainted (I rode with him as navigator each trip and helped load and unload) and the apartment looks mostly moved except the major furniture and some odds and ends (kitchen stuff, food in fridge, freezer and pantry, bike, cleaning supplies, etc).

The drywall in the garage has been repaired and the cabinets look amazing in the garage and the medicine cabinet is installed. Whoot!

It appears that most of my stuff (except the furniture, will fit in the garage as a launch zone. The furniture moves on Monday and the freezer arrives Tuesday morning.

Fun fun fun! I'm so excited!

The big move

Today starts a marathon of moving in my world. Well, actually, last night did, when after a few cocktails for me, Clark and I put together two sets of industrial shelves and moved two other shelves (the latter with Mom's help) to fill out my shelving needs. Whee, I've got a ton of storage space now, and will fill it before the day is through.

Today, Clark's coming back to help move the rest of the garage and small items out of my apartment. He will be joined by my faithful friends Glender and DJ, with a possible cameo appearance by GirlZoot. Mom already has snacks and sandwich fixings at the new place and we're raring to go. Except that I'm currently still in my PJs waiting for the dry wall dude to show up. Cabinet man never showed. He said call if it was a no go, so we didn't call.

Sunday, Toni and Ange, two of my bowling buddies, are going to come over and bat cleanup for any remaining stuff. Amazing!

Monday the movers come and bring the furniture and books, and any other large heavy things (like the TV, which I suppose is sort of furniture, but sort of not).

Neways, exciting days ahead. Once moved, we've got the old apartment to clean, then all the boxes to UNpack after we so carefully packed them. Fun times all around. Luckily I have the entire week off.

And Wednesday, I've decided we're going bowling in the evening. Just to get out of the house.
