PS, Florida?
It was OK, as OK as spending every waking minutes for 5 days with my mother can be. It was when I got home that it got worse. More on that later if I feel like talking about it (and when there's not a huge delay when I'm typing on here -- am I the only one that happens to? Type for a few seconds them wait like 3x as long for the words to catch up?) Anyway, let's just say that the woman is crazy and I don't know if I can take it anymore.
If small quizzes are quizzies, what are small tests?
Bored on a Friday night. Not sure if it's because I'm broke (what I tell myself) or because I don't have any friends... So I'm taking online quizzes.
After 3 beers, I have an IQ of 142.
And this is my superpower:
"Say what? Your superpower is ANIMAL COMMUNICATION! Many people pretend to talk to their pets, but you can really, truly do it. Have you ever mimicked the monkeys or the penguins at the zoo? If you have, you're on your way to becoming a great animal communicator, just like Aquaman with his fishy friends. Some people think animal communication has to be vocal. Not so. Any superhero knows that mental telepathy is where it's at. So while barking at Fido might be fun, it's not the practice you really need. Instead, try thinking like an animal. When you get into the mindset of, say, a squirrel, you'll be able to truly communicate with one. Of course it's a two way street, because you'll be able to understand everything they say back, too. And they've got a lot to tell! Imagine talking to a walrus about the deep ocean or to an ant about life underground. Once you've perfected your superhuman gift, you'll never be without interesting conversation."
Me-OW.
Well, this one was disappointing -- what car matches your personality?:
"You're all about the substance of relationships, not the flash and panache. You're focused on spending time with people and on doing the things you want to do more than the way in which you do it. Sometimes you have to deal with limited resources, but that doesn't mean your life can't be exciting and rich. Just the opposite. You're probably a champion for the underdog, too. Where most people see flaws, you see the character that brings people, and even cars, to life.
So what's the perfect car for your personality? Anything with a history that can get you, well, from here to there, in comfort."
I thought they were gonna tell me WHAT CAR. You know, "you're a '67 Mustang!" I KNOW I drive a car that gets me from here to there (sort of).
Speaking of which, I'm thinking of calling Car Talk. I think I have an electrical problem. I'm hoping someone will tell me it can easily be fixed by cleaning the connections to my battery... Or something equally cheap. The things I can think of: 1) the windshield wipers are OUT OF CONTROL. THEY WON'T STOP. Usually I eventually get them to settle down (though they'll kick back on while I'm scraping my windshield in the morning and scare the crap out of me). 2) the light that illuminates on the shifter what gear I'm in is out. I've only been driving an automatic for a couple years, so I have to turn on the dome light when I start out in the dark or I end up in neutral wondering why I won't go (another good reason to drive a stick -- you KNOW what gear you're in, baby!). 3) I replaced my rear passenger side blinker twice in probably 6 or 8 months (never did that once in 9 years with my last car). 4) my fan only works on the top 2 settings -- bottom two are the same as "off." I feel like there are more things that I've become so used to I'm forgetting them now. I did have the fuse to the lighter blow, never had that in 9 years with the old one either. Anyway, those are my car woes -- not enough to HAVE to fix it, and I can't AFFORD to fix it, so that means I have to live with screaming at my wipers every morning to STOP! PLEASE JUST FUCKING STOP!
And my signature city? New York!:
"Whether you like to have lots of options at your fingertips or you like to be in a metropolitan environment that's buzzing with energy, the Big Apple is the perfect place for you. Maybe you like to mix and mingle at some of the edgiest restaurants, shops, and clubs in the world. Or maybe you like to be in the middle of it all — in the bright lights and big city.
One night could be dinner and a show on Broadway, a stroll through Central Park the next, or a trip to the Met the next. From Grand Central Station to Greenwich Village, New York's got some of the biggest and edgiest things to see and do anywhere in the world. No wonder a trendsetter like you would be right at home in the Big Apple."
(OK, I have to admit that from my answers, that doesn't make much sense. Maybe it's sponsored by the NY tourism industry. But I'll take it!)
What color is my aura:
"We don't need a psychic to tell us that you're giving off a Sapphire vibe. People with blue auras feel everything strongly — you tend to get a little emotional at the drop of a hat. You're also deeply spiritual and introspective. Matters of the heart, mind, and soul are important to you, and your waters run as deep as the ocean. Nurturing by nature, you're likely a loving, supportive caretaker. That's why friends, family, and co-workers adore you. They know you're a good listener and always have great advice and a shoulder for them to cry on. In fact, if we had to find a fault, it's that you can be a tad too self-sacrificing. Remember that it's okay to say no sometimes. You forgive everyone else their weaknesses, so go ahead and forgive yourself for a little well-deserved selfishness. Indulge your creative side and do something artsy, or just take a break from being the world's counselor. You'll come back refreshed and ready for more."
Well. While I was hoping for green (don't know what they mean, green is just my favorite color), this is pretty damn right on. I mean, it's hard to sit here and agree that yeah, everyone ADORES me! And I don't know if I'm the world's counselor. But some of that is creepy.
I'll update if I come across anything else good (it just crashed Firefox on me, and although this came back, I'm taking it as a sign to shut up now!).
PS, the title is one of those things you just don't know why you remember -- there was a teacher in high school who called quizzes quizzies, and that's what people used to say. Dumb!

I'm going to Florida! Not sure it counts as a vacation in the sense that it's not somewhere I've been dreaming of going, but it does in that it should be relaxing. Hangin' with the mom and stepdad. Maybe catch Universal Studios. I have no need to ever go back to Disney World, so that's not an issue. Maybe a giant flea market!
