A Misunderstood Muppet




You Are Fozzie Bear



"Wocka! Wocka!"

You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up.

If only your routine didn't always bomb!

You may find more groans than laughs, but always keep the jokes coming.

One of my favorite Muppets and I think the one that is most misunderstood. Fozzie keeps making jokes whether people get them or not because he thinks life is funny and we should never miss an oppty to laugh at life, ourselves or others, even if we have to do it alone. Hat tip to Mike the Marine.

A Classic Movie

I am a creature of habit. When I was single, saturdays were spent getting up early, hitting the gym, going home. cleaning and getting ready for my exciting weekend. I would start off by going to a movie either by myself, with friends or any of the students I mentored. Afterwards it was a very long dinner (either at my place or at a restaurant) where my friends and I would catch up with each other. Sometimes we'd follow up with going to a great cafe or doing something interesting like going to a concert, a club, bowling alley, lounge or pool hall. There are times when I really miss them & those wonderful times we had.

Even now, Saturdays is still all about movies. Now that I'm a single mom, I have no time to go out to the movies or do any of those things I used to do, so I do different fun things w/my son. Instead, the movies come to me via my widescreen tv & dvd. I look forward all week to Saturday night, so I can watch a good movie. My son and I have a ritual on Friday nights. Before going home, we pick up our take-out dinner and then go to the video store for each of us to get a movie. I love the classics, and now he's getting to the age where he can appreciate the G rated ones too. So we've watched a few together that he really likes and has seen a few times with me.

So it was no surprise to me when I took this quiz and got the results below.

This is oh, so true! BTW, I'm a huge Frank Capra fan and have seen almost all his movies. Hat tip to Windypundit!

How Emotionally Stable/Mature Am I?

Your EQ is
180

150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.




The interpretation to my score had me practically rolling on the floor w/laughter. BTW, am I the only one that finds Dr. Phil scary? Anyway, I attribute part of my high score to the therapy I received as a result of the previous post.

To quote Ktreva, "a bonnet tip" goes to Contagion, who started all this self-analysis. Pun intended!

WhatÂ’s Your Blog IQ?

I tested out this quiz for a developer friend of mine a few weeks ago and forgot to post the results. Unfortunately I'm unable to share a link because I don't know if he's published it yet. I think you all are equally experienced so I think you all deserve the title Blog Guru's anyway, so there's no need to take the quiz.

Blog Guru

You know your way around the vast blogosphere (universe of blogs). You're able to find your way through a blogstorm – a flurry of blog conversation – to start making connections. As a result, you may have scored an invitation to a "dark blog" [a blog visible only to members]. You may even have your own blog. However, as web saavy as you are, you don't need to be a web guru to know that many soldiers have established 'milblogs' from the frontlines in order to give voice to their experiences. With time, you too will be part of the blogerati.

Your blog style takes you beyond the fluff of the blogosphere and into the substance. Blogs can be a powerful and informative resource. Blogs give everyone a chance to be heard, even the trolls (disruptive bloggers). Of course, you can always "blurk" – read without posting – instead. You, however participate on your own terms and in your own way.

You're such a blog junkie, that others refer to one of your blogs as 'blogfood' (refer to obliquely). Your blog's blogroll (list of favorite blogs) has more links than Colin Farrell has phone numbers on matchbook covers. You could use this network to your advantage, but you don't, instead prefering to enjoy the digital landscape you're a part of.

Four movies you could watch over and over: Star Wars (original trilogy), Pride & Predjudice (Colin Firth's version), Sense & Sensibility (Emma Thompson's version), The Bourne Identity.

Four places youÂ’ve lived: New York City, Europe (Paris/Rome), Puerto Rico & the Phillipines.

Four TV shows you love to watch: I watch TV only if I'm sick (like this past week) and the shows I watch are: Law and Order Criminal Intent, CSI NY, Local TV news (NBC).

Four websites you visit daily: Yahoo news, Boudicca, Miasmatic Review, & a number of the Bad Example family.

Four of your favorite foods: Pizza, Swordfish Teriyaki, "Everything" Bagel and Thai Jasmine Rice.

Four places youÂ’d rather be: Watching Sunrises on the East Coast of Puerto Rico, Sunsets on various Hawaiin Islands, Any time of day on the Northwest coast of the US and parts of Virgina.

Four albums you canÂ’t live without: Springsteen's early cd's, Sade's Lovers Rock, Chopin's Etudes, and everything by The Clash.

I'm going to add the following category since I'm such a heavy drinker:
Four of your favorite drinks: Decaf-Latte, water with wedges of lemon, Decaf Latte, Indian (not British) Darjeeling Tea, Chinese Jasmine Tea and did I mention Decaf-Latte.

If you're reading this you may consider yourself tagged (if you like).

Pseudo Resolutions

I took this quiz out of curiousity 'cause I don't make New Year's resolutions. Nope, instead every February I sit down and review/update my financial, personal, and spiritual development plan. Have I ever mentioned how I used to be a project manager? Well, yeah, so now I have me as a project. Anywho... I came across this cute quiz over at Bou's and thought I'd give it a try, & here's the results:




Your New Year's Resolutions



1) Get a pet wallaby [Interesting]



2) Eat more escargot [Not Happening!]



3) Travel to India [It's already on my list to travel to someday]



4) Study japanese pop culture [Lived it firsthand, so don't need to]



5) Get in shape with pilates [Yes, on my list already!]

What Type of Warrior are You?

Samurai

You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You
are not really the stereotypical hero, but you
do fight for good. Just in your own way. For
you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil
person, if it is for justice and peace. You
also don't belive in mourning all the time and
think that once you've hit a bad stage in life
you just have to get up again. It's pointless
to concentrate on emotional pain and better to
just get on with everything. You also are a
down to earth type of person and think before
you act. Impulsive people may annoy you
somewhat.

Main weapon: Sword
Quote: "Always do the right thing.
This will gratify some people and astonish the
rest" -Mark Twain
Facial expression: Small smile

I'm a Rocking Chick!

You Are a Chick Rocker!

You're living proof that chicks can rock! You're inspired by Joan Jett and the GoGo's... And when you rock, you rock hard (Plus, you get all the cute guy groupies you want!)

I got this via blog sis Tammi of Tammi's World, a while ago. In fact it helped inspire the CBGB post below. Yeah, had the opportunity to sing back up on occassion for a few bands. Well you can read more about my "underground rock" music phase there.

In search of a soulmate

Unable to sleep due to the stress of being at my old job where market conditions dictate the personalities of people and the pace of the day, I decided to answer some email (I'm still trying to catch up). This quiz was one of the most interesting ones, so I decided to try it out and see what kind of a soulmate I should be looking for.

Here is the analysis:

The hard-working chief engineer is the guy for you. He's the one who would build a wooden hut--with a complete set of furniture, just for you. You need to feel at home and he's the one to make your dreams come true.

So, do any of you know any Vulcan type engineers out there?

Otherwise known as the normal amount of normal. You're like most people most of the time. But you've got those quirks that make you endearing



You're unique, yes... but not frighteningly so!

Me a Bard???!!!

Bard
You scored: 75 Holy, 68 Tactful, 92 Natural, and 70 Arcane!

You can do everything well to an extent. You can pull off a spell or two, fend off warrior in a fight for a few minutes, and you've been known to pick a lock or two, but chances are someone in your party can do these same things. You have one of two options... go it alone or in a small group and fill all the niches that are uncovered. You are the best of all worlds when it comes to leadership... you've got perspective on every person's strengths and weaknesses, you are a master at planning and cunning, you are in tune with the natural world, and you may have your God, but the last thing you want to do is impose it upon everyone else. Lastly, you can really whip a crowd up into a fenzy when you're wailing on your guitar. The trade off for being so cool is that you get both positive and negative attention (such as getting beat up).a lot. Bards are both loved and hated, so don't get caught in one of the trans-dimensional vortexs of life if you don't want a good drumming now and again.

<

The test tracked 4 variables. Here's how you compared to others in your age and gender group:
You scored higher than 75% on Godliness
You scored higher than 99% on Tact
You scored higher than 87% on Harmony
You scored higher than 99% on Arcane

Ain't she a beauty!!

I knew there was a reason I like the Llama Butchers so much, we usually score the same in quizes.


What military aircraft are you?
F/A-22 Raptor

You are an F/A-22. You are technologically inclined, and though you've never been tested in combat, your very name is feared. You like noise, but prefer not to pollute any more than you have to. And you can move with the best.
