Preachy emails, Phil and the Parisienne, Steph being sick, Blue Pyramid and such

Just before I went to bed last night, I fielded an extremely preachy / guilt-trip email from Blasting Simperer. (my nickname for someone else, heh) I used to like her, but maybe not as much anymore... now I find some of her emails to be annoying. Hope this isn't Lesley-syndrome all over again! Of course I'm committed to Bible Study, but I *am* dependent on rides and such to get there... if she doesn't understand that, then there's no hope. (NOT in an emo way!) Her RSVP emails come too early in the week for me, thus the "some of us don't know what we're doing till later in the week, kthx" internal reaction I have to them. I don't like it when people preach to me, either: if you're not paid to do it, then don't. I'd rather have some loving constructive criticism from friends and family than a sermon about how I should do certain things. Needless to say, I only skimmed through the email before trashing it. Aiya.

Then I went to bed and had dreams of Phil driving Eric's Parisienne from church to a barbecue with a bunch of church people. For some reason, Jack Bauer was in this dream... and I haven't even watched much of 24! He was always under the threat of death, and managed to escape every single time. It's like what one of my friends said in the dream: "He's always in harm's way, yet I know he survives because there's always another episode of that show!" Maybe the next dream I have will involve Eric driving Phil's Westfalia van, haha.

Steph just called to say she was sick and wouldn't be going tonight... she's surprised I answered the phone, haha. (get used to it, yo!) It's too bad she's sick, but at least Eric and I won't have to wait around till 10:30 for her to finish! Maybe then we can eat out with whoever else wants to, I don't know. We'll see since he usually elects to go home after Fellowship these days... but no waiting around is a good thing. :D


HAHAHAHA. I got an OK Cupid message:

HI

Andrew

Of course, it specifically says "Message me if YoU dOn'T TyPe lIkE dIs or use Netspeak / leet speak in extreme amounts.... you okay with that? ;)" in my profile, hahaha. Guess I'll think about it, haha. But that error just makes me twitch. Possibly not. (I'm being VERY elitist, I know! But it IS my prerogative...) And if he thinks my profile pic is very pretty, then I think he needs glasses! :P

Ah well, time to take a shower so I'm not rushing in 90 minutes!

You're a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

You can't stop talking about the "good old days" of the past. While you remember everything being so much better and more glorious back then, you've got to realize that times have changed! It's time to move on, time to bring in the new technology and advancements! Still, there is some charm to your olden out-dated ways. Children seem to love you, for example, as do some historians and scientists. And you should really eat something... your bones are starting to show.


Take the Animal Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

You're Chapman University!

While you associate your foundation with oranges and a mild climate, you have become a bit of a traveler and even an expansionist over time. Now you're all but scattered to the winds, with pockets of influence in a variety of places, especially the suburbs. Many have wondered if you're spreading yourself too thin, and you probably secretly suspect that you are. But your favorite show is still The OC.

Never watched that show in my life...

You're the Frontier Mail!

While your presence used to conjure up images of unexplored lands and exotic beauty, now you're fairly settled down. You now have a strange fascination with golden temples, making you almost reminiscent of Indiana Jones. And while you do like tigers and swashbuckling adventures, you prefer to consider things carefully and make democratic decisions. Sometimes, however, you consider going postal.


Take the Trains and Railroads Quiz
at RMI Miniature Railroads.

You're Tennessee!

A vibrantly musical individual, you probably know how to play multiple instruments. At the heart of your love for music is the guitar, though you have a soft spot for violins, which you refuse to call anything but fiddles. Fiddlesticks aside, you are very thin and have excellent posture. If you ever run for elected office, you won't even be able to get your hometown to support you. I guess that's why they call it the blues.


Take the State Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

You're Spain!

You like rain on the plain, as well as interesting architecture and a diverse number of races and religions. You like to explore a lot, but sailing, especially in large groups, never really seems to work out for you. Beware of pirates and dictators bearing bombs. And for heaven's sake, stop running around bulls! It's just not safe!

at the Blue Pyramid

Could Be Good Patron You are 75% generally competent. You scored 75% for your manners. You are 22% cheapskate!

Weird... 30 seclusion, 30 open, 40 middle

You aren't secluded... you tell people things... but you aren't open... so you don't tell much. But you're not in the middle either... you're weird. You tell certain people too much, and others too less. You are completely backwards... sit down and figure yourself out.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 34% on seclusion You scored higher than 26% on open You scored higher than 39% on middle

Jane You scored 61 Kindness, 27 Morality, and 47 Wisdom!

You possess a high level of intelligence and kindness. You are likely one of those people who read often or spend time learning new things. You have a lower level of morality than most, which can lead you to stir up some trouble every now and then. But, at the end of the day, you are still the smart and kind person that all your friends know you to be. I hear there is a new research specimen in town... try spending some time with Stitch to learn a few things.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 81% on Kindness You scored higher than 9% on Morality You scored higher than 51% on Wisdom You scored higher than 2% on Gender
