Your result for The RPG Class Test... Arcane Trickster15% Combativeness, 60% Sneakiness, 74% Intellect, 22% Spirituality 
Brilliant and sneaky: You are an Arcane Trickster!
Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you've fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you're an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't.
Arcane Tricksters combine arcane magic with rogue skills and sensibilities. They use their magic to confuse their opponents or to augment their more mundane, roguish skills. If you thought it was annoying keeping an eye that that rogue, the Arcane Trickster is probably picking your pocket from the other side of the room.
Both smart and sneaky, you're probably the type of person that loves planning practical jokes... either that or knocking over banks. Take The RPG Class Test at HelloQuizzy Current Mood:  geeky |

Prepositions...

So in 5th grade, we learned the "Preposition Song." It's got a good chunk of the prepositions in it. You want to know what they are? Good!
About, above, across, against, among, around, at, before, behind, beside, below, between, during, except, by, down, over, under, of, off, on, through, beneath, to, after, towards, up, until, unto, with.
Sing that to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" and that's the song.
Yes, my head is full of useless things. I also have my mom's 13 digit driver's license number from 1992 memorized.Current Mood:  complacent |

Catholic Bishop says abuse victims are 'dwelling crankily on old wounds'
I'm sure the family of the woman who was raped by her priest as a child, and later committed suicide, now realizes they should just man up, and get over it.
Argh.

Pregnancy has been really awaking my inner crafty person. We had an old lamp that I had no love for, and was plotting the demise of. When we moved, most of the inner liner got ripped off of it, and it looked...blech.
So, my mom suggested getting some decorative paper, and replacing the backing. I liked this plan. It worked well, until Chris tried to gently wipe down the lamp, in which case the shade started ripping at the lightest touch. Fine, whatever, I figured we'd buy a new lamp. Then I decided since I had the paper, I may as well remake the shade. So I bought muslin, starched the hell out of it, and ironed it wrinkle free. I ripped off the remains of the old shade, and then put the muslin on.
Once the muslin was on, I put on the paper backing. It looks good, but I don't like the fact that you can see where the muslin folds under in some spots...so, now I think I'm going to lightly trim it along the wire edges with some deep red ribbon of some kind.
Well, once I started on the shade, I realized that the lamp itself was horribly tarnished...so now I'm working on cleaning off the tarnish with some Barkeeper's friend. It's a long, boring, smelly project.
Okay, I think I'm done ranting now. I'll post pictures of the pretty as soon as I get it finshed. :)Current Mood: creative |

Your result for The Attachment Style Test... The Waffler52% Anxiety Over Abandonment and 38% Avoidance Of Intimacy 
You're not the most decisive person. You tend to be unsure what you want out of your attachments, and it's unlikely you've had more than mediocre relationships. You vacillate between trust and mistrust, and between low and high self-esteem. You probably have a couple of good friends who support you and believe in you, but you tend not to let things get too heavy. You like to sit on fences.

I found my phone! Yay! It was definitely of the deceased variety, but at least it didn't go through the wash?
My job sucks right now. I love it when the important people decide to change things during the busy days of the week, thusly leaving us kind of honked when the change screws things up.
You know, I know that I'm getting better about not being a judgmental bitch in the out loud voice, but does it count as better if I still think it?

- I seem to have lost my phone for the last uh, week or so. I'd call it but a) it's probably dead, and b) I always leave the damned thing on vibrate.
- I did my pregnancy yoga video for the first time in forever, and I feel awesome today.
- I read the LJ of one of my favorite authors, and she announced yesterday that she noticed some print errors in the book, and was asking people if they saw any others. Some got mentioned, but even better were the other comments:
The worst print error I ever saw? Two copies of "The Case for Christ," by Stobel...
All completely blank. Every page blank. Two hundred pages, blank. Since the book professed to provide the proof for Christ... Not. Good.
They were bought by a former monk who worked at my store. He thought it was hysterical.
************************
One of my favorite editing errors is in a George R.R. Martin book, I believe it was the 3rd one and it went like this: "Yet Ser Axell proposes we swoop down on homes they left behind, to rape their windows and put their children to the sword."
Those windows better beware.
- stephiearts gave me a tagine for my wedding present. I've decided I'm going to start cooking with it, and must find good recipes.
- I'm contemplating buying 2 wireless cards for our desktops, rather than getting creative with drilling, and running wire under carpet. I'm not sure if this is a good plan.
