I've still got it! Oh Yah!

I may have been out of the game but I haven't lost it all yet! I took the What's Your Blog IQ quiz and got the following:

"Blogs are nothing new to you – you've weathered your share of blogstorms and maybe even started a couple yourself. You may remember reading "weblogs" in 1997, when Jorn Barger started "logging the web" in Robot Wisdom. Since then, the "blogosphere," the total of blog-related websites, has exploded. As a blog guru, you've probably encountered blog novelties out such as the milblog, a soldier's military chronicle. "Dark blogs" are no mystery to you either – you might even be a member of these hidden, invitation-only websites."

Friday Fun with Blogthings

Your Pirate Name Is...

Dirty Neck Snapper Nellie

What's Your Pirate Name?

You Are A Fig Tree

You are very independent and strong minded. A hard worker when you want to be, you play hard too. You are honest and loyal. You hate contradiction or arguments. You love life, and you live for your friends, children, and animals. A great sense of humor, artistic talent, and intelligence are all gifts you possess.

What's Your Celtic Horoscope?

In a Past Life...

You Were: A Lazy Herbalist. Where You Lived: Quebec. How You Died: The Plague.

Who Were You In a Past Life?

A Thursday HAHA

A writer comes home to a burned down house. His sobbing and slightly-singed wife is standing outside.

“What happened, honey?” the man asks.

“Oh, John, it was terrible,” she weeps. “I was cooking, the phone rang. It was your agent. Because I was on the phone, I didn’t notice the stove was on fire. It went up in second. Everything is gone. I nearly didn’t make it out of the house. Poor Fluffy is...”

“Wait, wait. Back up a minute,” The man says. “My agent called?”

Ok, this sounds fun.

Friday Fun, what poetry form are you?

The other day I actually posted a poem. It's probably the first poem I've written in... well, I'm thinking years. My brain just doesn't seem to function well on a poetic avenue. Ah well, I found this little blog quiz:

I'm the lai, with no sort Of grave, solemn thought, And I Will never be caught By miseries sought, Nor sigh; Where battles are fought Or arguments brought, I fly. What Poetry Form Are You?

I have no idea what this means. I think it means that I like chocolate and B rated horror flicks; that I have a dark sense of humor and am argumentative... or maybe it means I try to avoid arguments. And, I'm a "lai" - awesome.

Blog Fun!

Apparently, one of my coworkers is working just as hard as I am on this fine Tuesday afternoon. He sent me the link to this little tidbit:

How to make a Rashenbo

Ingredients: 5 parts anger 1 part silliness 5 parts instinct

Method: Stir together in a glass tumbler with a salted rim. Top it off with a sprinkle of lustfulness and enjoy!

Username:

Personality cocktail
From Go-Quiz.com

Personally... I think I'm 5 parts silliness and only 1 part anger... I rarely get angry... but when I do... I may, just possibly, get a little irrational. But don't tell my husband I admitted that.

Blog Tipping: a new way to share the link love

Link love *wink* *wink* you know you want it!

A spot of T is one of those blogs that I tend to visit on a regular basis. I just like reading her posts, seeing her nice layout and chuckling at the different things she talks about. Yesterday, I discovered her post on Blog Tipping. It sounds like fun to me, so I'll definitely be blog tipping on February first.

From her site, here are the details:

Bronze Blogtipping Rule:
On the first day of the month, pick three blogs and offer their bloggers three compliments and one suggestion each via a post on your blog.

Silver Blogtipping Rule:
Blogtipping is about making someone else's day and educating others about excellent blogging practices in the process.

Golden Blogtipping Rule:
Tip unto others as you would have others tip unto you.

I love blogthings!

There's nothing like taking a break from a busy day at work and taking a frivolous little blog quiz.

Your Personality Is Like Acid

A bit wacky, you're very difficult to predict. One moment you're in your own little happy universe... And the next, you're on a bad trip to your own personal hell!

What Drug Is Your Personality Like?

Oh man... insect just commented and I followed the link and ended up on a blog... this post right here: blogger found dead slumped over keyboard has to be one of the best articles I've read recently.

Human Kind at its Finest!

So, I stumbled across the Wacky Warning Label site and I had to laugh. One of the warning labels is on a hot glue gun or heat gun. The warning label says: "Do not use heat gun as a hair dryer".

I also found Loony Laws off the site... I just love finding these things. I also saw at the bookstore there is a new Darwin award book out... I may have to go pick it up. I love the Darwin Awards.

Things to do INSTEAD of writing & Friday Fun

Item #2 on my list of things to do instead of writing is... (drumroll please) WORK.

Don't my bosses know that I want to spend my day either writing or surfing the internet??? I mean, come on... who wants to work, especially on a Friday. Aren't customers all supposed to be quiet on Friday anyway?

"Sigh" I do like my job, though. I get to work from home and I do a lot of project work so I've got a lot of variety. Every now and then though, the snowball rolls down from above and drags every second of my day with it.

FRIDAY FUN!!! Woo It's Friday; It's Friday. Yay!

It's Friday and that means we all need something to have a little fun. For those people that enjoy speculative fiction, The Electric Spec Editor Blog is a nice spot to check out, and they seem quite nice. Most of the writers that are blog freaks like me already know about the Rejecter, a new blogger in the world of literary agents. Rejecter is certainly on my daily stop list.

If you like those internet tests that tell you about yourself because you aren't sure who you are exactly - Similar Minds has quite a few personality and "brain" tests.

I took the personality disorder test... why? Well, I seem to be fascinated by a variety of different things and who doesn't want a label these days? I thought everyone had one... "I'm ADD" or "I'm OCD" or "Well, I'm suffering post traumatic stress from a fender bender that happened to me 10 years ago...." Labels are the IN thing. So, here is what Similar Minds told me about myself. I'm not really sure what it all means... and really, how can a website diagnose me in 55 questions... but hey! Let's go with it.

Personality Disorder Test Results Paranoid 30% Schizoid 54% Schizotypal 70% Antisocial 58% Borderline 10% Histrionic 22% Narcissistic 42% Avoidant 22% Dependent 18% Obsessive-Compulsive 38%

I'm not really sure what the heck Schizotypal is... but it's not a very pretty word. I think I'll have to keep searching for my label. My interest has waned and I'm on to other things.... Like tacky halloween one-liners... here ya go!




Do zombies eat popcorn with their fingers?

The Friday Fun Chronicles

Taken from the creative mind of The Cesspool Messiah

"You are not an idiot. You are not an idiot. You are not an idiot. You are not an idiot. You are not an idiot. You are not an idiot. You are not an idiot. You are a fucking idiot. This book claims to be “an easy-to-follow, reassuring and responsible guide that shows how you can use hypnotherapy to identify and overcome unhealthy modes of thinking, deal with emotional issues, improve performance, and banish bad habits.” It also has a section on law suite procedures in the event that you stay convinced you are a chicken or continue to yell “I am sir fancy pants” or bark like a dog whenever you hear a bell. The preface is a self guided hypnosis that the reader must perform in order to use the rest of the book. Basically it asks the reader to stand in front of the mirror with a rock on a string and chant “this book is helpful, this book is serious”. Once the reader has been sufficiently brain washed, the rest of the book reads like a well written novel."

You've got to follow that link and check out the Idiots Guide to Books For Dummies... Quite entertaining for a Friday afternoon.
