Random Quiz, stolen from LJ flist.

PSYCHOANALYSE YOURSELF!
Answer the following questions with the first thought that comes to mind. Then read which each answer means. (No cheating!) I waited to read the endings to other people's answers until I'd answered these myself!

1) You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. With who?
If I'm not alone, I'm with Osaka, and probably her son. I'd prefer to be alone though.

2) You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal is it?
A doe.

3) What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
It looks in my direction for a moment, our eyes lock, and it dashes away.

4) You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing and before you is your dream house. Describe it.
A two story colonial, with southern style porch, including a porch swing, and french doors.

5) Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
No.

6) You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining room table. What do you see on and around it?
The mail from the last few days, some partially assembled crafts, and a couple of occupied doll chairs. There is also a buffet style chest with more doll furniture, in a livingroom/dining room style, with more dolls.

7 You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
An old chipped china cup. It looks like it's been there for decades, the paint worn, cracked, half buried, the grass around it sparsely.

8) What do you do with the cup?
Leave it there. It's part of the general ambience.

9) You walk to the edge of the property where you find yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. What kind of body of water is it?
A lake, with a small stream that leads to a pond which pools near the front of the house.

10) How will you cross the water?
There is a small bridge over the stream, and the lake is clear and clean enough to swim, so if I'm crossing that, I'll swim it.


Here are the answers.


1) The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important person in your life.
So, essentially I'm the most important person in my life. *SELFISH* Osaka and Ringo being second, which makes sense to me. She is my bestfriend after all.

2) The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life.
Medium sized, but fleeting?

3) The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems.
So I stare into the eyes of my problems and run away. Yep that's accurate.

4) The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition to solve your problems.
Largish? Relative to the situation I guess. "Colonial" is kind of vague.

5) A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not drop by unannounced.
Hmmm, there's no fence but my ideal home is FAR into the forest, so .. that's pretty extreme closed-off-ness.

6) If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy.
Do dolls count as people? D:

7) The durability of the material with the cup is made of is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship.
So, chipped worn china is rather indicative of being single and apprehensive about dating.

8) Your disposition of the cup is representative of your attitude.
I leave things be? Yeah pretty much.

9) The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire.
So a big freaking lake with a small stream that funnels into a small pond.. Yep. e_e

10. How wet you get in crossing the water is indicative of the relative importance of your sex life.
So... swimming through it. Yep.

I got Heelys! Also.. stuff.

They are awesome, and I got them for only $20. I had planned to get some heavier duty shoes for work, and Osaka found these at Ross. I've been wanting HEELYS for ...four years now. Like, seriously, since I first moved to Virginia, I've wanted a pair.

I learned pretty quickly that I lack the balance and coordination to use them with the wheels in yet, but I'm hoping that as I continue to lose weight it will become easier. In the meantime the plugs are in the bottoms, and the wheels are set aside. :]

I officially LOVE shopping at Ross. I've always loved a good deal, and $20 for $60-$80 shoes, is a hell of a deal.

In other news, we (The Home Depot) had a store meeting 6am Sunday, and I got put on the spot. It was out profit sharing meeting where they hand out the checks, and apparently corporate gives 20 employees who embody Customer Service to a T, an extra $250. Guess who was one of those twenty.

...I had to stand up with the others and get stared at for a minute as Wayne, our store manager explained what it was, and why we were getting it, and I turned an awful shade of pink.

On the one hand, I'm completely flattered. On the other, it took me entirely by surprise, despite my being made Cashier of the Month for the month of January, and getting two Homer Awards for customer satisfaction. @_@;; So.. hooray! That $250 will be just enough finish paying Osaka back for my Unicorn hoofling, Starshine. :]

Oh and speaking of, I gave him a faceup last week when the weather was good. I'm not entirely pleased about how he turned out, but it turned out that I was spiking a fever when I did him up, so it's no surprise to me, that it's not my best work. It's better than the last faceup I tried on him, and had to wipe before finishing though, so it stays for now.

New shoes! New lunchbox! New stupid!

I'm trying to do a bit better now in posting more frequently and being much less secretive. Some of you are probably going "You're secretive? REALLY?!" and you're right, I do tend towards over-sharing. At the same time though, I'm neurotic about stuff that really shouldn't be important, and I keep it to myself most of the time, making things MUCH worse.

I've realized well after the fact that I was being straight up psychotic in Texas, to a ridiculous degree all things considered. Did I have a reason to be a bit messed up? Yes. Did I have the right to be secretive and then bitter that no one understood what I was thinking/feeling? No.

So, I am going to attempt to be more open and honest. I already try to be honest but I also leave alot out when speaking to some of my family, in an attempt to keep things comfortable. Instead this creates feelings of mistrust, because it is OBVIOUS that I am NOT saying things, that I feel are important.

This is mostly touching on my last LJ entry, and nothing to do with what I really wanted to post about.

I bought new shoes. Little man has Gymnastics every Monday for now, and as part of the current household routine, his parents and I wander about the shopping center while he's learning to tumble and cartwheel and all that.

Today, I poked into Ross with Christy, and found all kinds of little gems. I ended up buying this lunchbox, for $1, and this pair of shoes, for $20. :D




This was great for me, because these shoes, which I bought back in September '09 bit the bullet a couple of months ago. I wore them hard, every day, to work, everywhere, and they wore out super fast. Luckily I still had a pair of red vans that were relatively still together (and now are beat to hell) that I had been wearing in the meantime. I still need to buy a pair soley for work, cause I don't want these to wear out as fast as the last pair, but I'm pleased none-the-less.

So yep, new shoes, new lunchbox, and I'm going to try to be more open and post more often from here on out. :]

Oh, and I had another stupid, "I've lost weight?" moment today. It was just the right temperature today for one of my thin rainbow hoodies layered with a t-shirt, and when I put one on, I was alarmed at how loose it was. My initial thought was that it had stretched out badly in the wash somehow.. Again. I thought that several months ago about my 'fatty' jeans, rather than the more obvious that perhaps I had begun to lose weight.

So, I continue to be an idiot, and oblivious in that regard. In my defense, I have been puffy lately from being sick, and hormonal crap, so.. I don't LOOK any slimmer in the face. My clothes all hang weird now though. I desperately need to buy a couple three new pairs of jeans.. Next paycheck probably.

Lord Percy the Benevolent and Percival the laptop

So.. my laptop came, a week ago today. It is everything I had hoped, and aside from minor tantrums on my part, trying to port over Sims 2, save files included, we are getting along quite well.

I've named new green lappy, Percival, and have dubbed my old poor lappy, Old Reliable, because he is STILL plugging along, letting me copy old files, and doing his damnedest to remain useful. *pats Old Reliable reassuringly*

Percival is performing beautifully. Sims 3 is GORGEOUS graphics-wise, and with 4 gigs of ram, Sims 2 loads up like a dream, 4 gigs of custom content not-withstanding.

In other news, I've had the plague for a week and a day or so. It manifests in varying degrees, but mostly it's congestion and draining now. It started as a stomach bug last Monday. It's a headache and congestion today. It was bad enough I had to call out of work on Sunday which pissed me off, cause I hate doing that, and I really need the money that nice full day would have given me.

In slightly related news I got a new stuffed sheepy, whom I named Lord Percy the Benevolent. Osaka and Pherret picked him up for me last Monday, and my computer arrived the next day, and I named it after the sheep. Weird? Perhaps, but it suits me fine. :D

And, since I finally have all my photo software on my computer now, pics of Percival (both the sheep and the lappy).
