What does your birth month say about you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Will do more later with this, but must write many stories now . . .

I've been wanting to do this and just haven't had the time. Now I do.

1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before?
Graduated from college, went on a spring break trip

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don't think I made one, and I haven't made one for this year either.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
no.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Max, my St. Bernard.

5. What countries did you visit?
Didn't go anywhere exciting in 2003. That was 2002, and I WILL return in 2004

6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003?
The money I need to pay for my surgery and to keep my horses here, a dog.

7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
The day I finally got my journalism job. I was so crazy-happy, it was awesome.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
The journalism job, and probably the good stuff with my poetry-- afterall, I got first place with one and I could have gone on to grad school for poetry. very cool.

9. What was your biggest failure?

A second saddle!

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My friends and family for being so supportive and helpful

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Many things have been saddening this year, but overall, I agree with Gimpy. The politics and the general opinion is counter-intuitive and ill-informed. We shouldn't have gone to war in the first place, although I do think Saddam needed to be removed. Also, the whole Patriot Act thing is assinign!
Was disappointed in the decision made by some friends, but I cannot live their lives and make their decisions. I miss them greatly and other have hurt me deeply. Forgive? Sure, but it still sucks.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Traveling, a new car, bills, the horses.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
My new job, Spring break, graduation, moving to Indy, being done with Comm, finding a church, being friends with Larry.

16. What song will always remind you of 2003?
I don't think there is a song. There are lots that I attach to certain moments that happened in 2003, but I can't say there is a song that commemorates 2003. However, among my list of song: Goo Goo Dolls— Sympathy, Sarah McLaughlin— Fallen, Spirit soundtrack— This is where I belong, Matchbox 20— Mad Season, Counting Crows— American Girl

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Sadder. Can't help it. I'm getting better, but getting dumped still hurts.
ii. thinner or fatter? Way thinner.
iii. richer or poorer? Way poorer.

18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Gone hiking or riding or something. I miss my horses and doing adventure/extreme stuff

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Worry. I should have just trusted myself in just about everything.

20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Spent it at home with the rest of my (literally) sick family

Yes, but it doesn't matter now

One

24. What was your favourite TV programme?
King of the Jungel

25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?

A good job, friends

"Return of the King" hands down!!!

I turned 23 Nov. 26 and my birthday was pretty much forgotten by people around me. I did however get phone calls from a lot of my friends and birthday cards from some too. Sadly, though, my dog was dying, so my family wasn't in a state to celebrate.

32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Bringing Dash and Sam here to Indy, graduating with honors

33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003?
More professional and grown up, except on the weekends when I still wear jeans

34. What kept you sane?
Gimpy, David, My brother and sister-in-law, Dash, Larry. And of course, the rest of you did too, but these folks were the big factors

35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
I don't fancy celebrities.

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
Patriot Act, general lack of knowledge about what's going on in the world, war in Iraq.

37. Who did you miss?
I know it's only been a few months, but I miss Veto and Tina soooo much. You guys rock. Gimpy, you're the best. You always know what to say and how to say it. In the early part of the year, Palak and Jeff because you were both so far away. My friends in Scotland-- I can't wait to see them again! Allison! Camp Miniwanca.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
Ann, my new horse buddy and very cool friend.

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003:
Your faith can carry you a long way, there will always be a new beginning even when it doesn't look like it, trust yourself, deep down you're probably right, remember who you are, it'll keep you from getting lost.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"Under the starry sky where eagles have flown, this place is paradise, it's the place I call home . . . nothing comes between this and me, Cause everything I want is everything that's here. And wherever I wander, the one thing I've learned, is to here I will always return." Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmarron, soundtrack
Not neccissarily about a physical place I am now so much as a state of mind and desire of the soul. I will always be looking West and dreaming of my "freedom".

Your personality type is INFJ.
Introverted (I) 93% Extraverted (E) 7%
Intuitive (N) 64% Sensing (S) 36%
Feeling (F) 60% Thinking (T) 40%
Judging (J) 77% Perceiving (P) 23%

Beneath the quiet exterior, INFJs hold deep convictions about the weightier matters of life. Those who are activists -- INFJs gravitate toward such a role -- are there for the cause, not for personal glory or political power.

INFJs are champions of the oppressed and downtrodden. They often are found in the wake of an emergency, rescuing those who are in acute distress. INFJs may fantasize about getting revenge on those who victimize the defenseless. The concept of 'poetic j ustice' is appealing to the INFJ.

"There's something rotten in Denmark." Accurately suspicious about others' motives, INFJs are not easily led. These are the people that you can rarely fool any of the time. Though affable and sympathetic to most, INFJs are selective about their friends . Such a friendship is a symbiotic bond that transcends mere words.

INFJs have a knack for fluency in language and facility in communication. In addition, nonverbal sensitivity enables the INFJ to know and be known by others intimately.

Writing, counseling, public service and even politics are areas where INFJs frequently find their niche.

I found this thing my junior year in high school as I was looking for research about an english paper. Don't know how I got here, but it's HILARIOUS and I've never forgotten it, so I wanted to share it with everyone.

Humble websurfer (that's you):
The following is a list of things I suggested you (royal) could do with a box of granola. Well, in between the numerous updatings of my original webpage, as well as the removal of said page, I thought perhaps this particular list was lost to the ages.
However, thanks to the extensive cataloging down by Chester W. Brendcott of Turpbubble, AL, I was able to re-post this wonderful webpage. A great deal of thanks was given to Mr. Brendcott, who was then summarily executed for not having anything better to.
And so, ladies & gentlemen, the *original* 20 Things To Do With A Box of Granola!, as it first appeared in January 1997 (I so feel like Leonard Maltin right now!).
Enjoy.

So, this was an ennegram test, and it's like 200 questions long, but it's free and useful. Check it out: http://www.personalityonline.com/tests/engine.html?testid=2

TYPE EIGHT: THE BOSSES
Click Here! Eight's need to be powerful to make their own way in life. They are motivated to maintain territorial control over anything that can influence their lives and by the desire to stay on top in any power struggle Of all the Enneagram types, they are the most openly aggressive. They are dominant figures both at work and at home.

They enjoy being strong and judge others according to whether those others are strong or weak. They also enjoy confronting others, and are even willing to take on the whole power structure if they feel a need for radical change. Eight's are courageous and will crusade for what they believe in. They bring abundant energy to meeting challenges at work or elsewhere.

They are "natural leaders." Their overwhelming self-confidence is contagious and can generate in others the energy that is necessary to accomplish monumental tasks.

Possible Origins. Eight's survived their childhood by taking a tough personal stand. Their world felt dominated by bigger, stronger people who wanted to control their lives. The child struggled against a sense of unfair odds and survived by any form of confrontation that would make enemies back down. They gained respect from peers for not crying, for not showing weakness, and for winning fights. They quickly found that it was more fun to break the rules than it was to try to keep them.

Flawed Eight's. Although they often become leaders, the preoccupation with power and control tarnishes their leadership qualities. They are better as entrepreneurs and as such are plentiful in the business world. They are interested in making the money that allows them to control their own fates. And they like the business arena which offers them the opportunity to exercise power. They often alienate potential sources of help, pressing other people's sore spots without recognizing the damage, or feeling the need to say the worst to someone for his or her own good --INTUITIVE TACTLESSNESS.

Well-Adapted Eight's are able to get beyond control and to place their considerable powers in the service of a goal or goals outside themselves. They retain their characteristic confidence, but have learned the virtue of restraint in exercising power. They are seen as deserving of the loyalty they inspire and, in this mode, they can excel at making a beneficial difference for large numbers of people. They have immense capacity for continuous pressure and follow-through on a project.

Occupations. Eight's are attracted to the world of business, to high finance, and to the political arena, often achieving quite high status. They also make good entrepreneurs and "transformational leaders."

Finding Oneself:
Eight's probably will agree with most of the following statements:

1. I am very good at standing up and fighting for what I want.
2. I have difficulty with compromise.
3. I am not afraid to confront other people and I do confront them.
4. I enjoy the exercise of power.
5. I am an aggressive, self-assertive person.
6. l know how to get things done.
7. I get bored easily and like to keep moving.
8. Justice and injustice are key issues for me.
9. Generally, I don't care much for introspection or too much self-analysis.
10. I think of myself as a non-conformist.
