Sunny Me

The results might have been different had I taken this quiz on a 100 degree day, but since it's cold, damp and miserable outside....

Never really thought of myself as having a sunny disposition.

Your Weather Personality is Sunny


You're the type of person who really appreciates perfect weather - not too chilly, not too warm, and of course the sun is shining.

You love to be outdoors. You find nature soothing and inspiring ... especially if you're out there getting your heart rate up.

Nothing motivates you more than a sunny day. Even when you're feeling down, waking up to rays of sunshine makes you feel like anything is possible.


On the other hand, a bit of gray and clouds can make you down in the dumps. You're always more sluggish when the sun is hiding.

You like to be outdoors, and you try not to let inclement weather stop you. That being said, you do prefer to be comfortable.


Whenever you find yourself in a sunny climate, you try to be outside as much as possible. You love dining al fresco and outdoor malls. 


saccharine

1. of the nature of or resembling that of sugar: a powdery substance with a saccharine taste.
2. containing or yielding sugar.
3. very sweet to the taste; sugary: a saccharine dessert.

"Revenge is sweet, saccharine sweet." That's stuck in my head ever since I read it in one of my sister's Trixie Belden books when I was a kid. 

Sukiyaki - Kyu Sakamoto

Originally titled "Ue O Mui Te Aruko" (I'll Look Up While Walking)


From Wiki:

Released by Capitol Records in the US as Sukiyaki (Capitol 4945), it topped the Billboard pop charts in the United States for three weeks in 1963 -- to date the first and only song sung entirely in Japanese to do so.

The lyrics were written by Rokusuke Ei and the melody was composed by Hachidai Nakamura. The lyrics tell the tragic story of a man who looks up while he is walking so that his tears won't fall. The verses of the song describe him doing this through each season of the year.

On August 12, 1985, Kyu Sakamoto died in the crash of Japan Airlines Flight 123. Before the doomed aircraft hit the ground, he managed to write a farewell note to his wife, Yukiko Kashiwagi.

I'm fixin' to be a hellion if AT&T doesn't do something about this stinking modem and their DNS issues.

Let Me Google That For You

From the site:

For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than Google it for themselves.



Ever get annoyed by someone asking a question and you KNOW they are smart enough to do a search for it on their own?  You know they're only doing it to:  a. make you waste your time, b. pick apart the information at the link or c. impeach the source.

Instead, make THEM do the work and have a laugh at them at the same time.  Make THEM waste their time and then you can pick apart the information or impeach the source...or better yet, ignore them after leaving the link.

Just input the search terms, then you'll be given a link to leave for the troll (or lazy butt) so he/she can do their own research.

(one of the best replies I ever saw on a msg. board was someone asking where another poster got their information.  "Look it up yourself." he said. "I'm not your link whore.")

Try it out!

Dazzling Adorable Doofus

Your Dazzle Makes You Adorable

The face you present to the world is charming and alluring. You are simply a fun person to be around.

Whenever you can, you're ready to lighten the mood with a joke or an anecdote. You're a natural storyteller.

On the inside, you feel less dazzling and more ordinary. You can't see how attractive you are to the outside world.


You are a very genuine person, and you can't even imagine trying to charm others. You just do it naturally.

Your friends love your dazzle because... well, who doesn't love dazzle? You're just one of those charismatic types everyone loves.


The true secret is that you make others feel like they're the center of your attention. You know how to make everyone feel good.
