Everyone you meet will either love you or hate you - either way, your goal is to get them to change the world with you. You are very hard working and don't have much patience for people without your initiative. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

Like Carol, I did it twice - I'm quite certain that I selected the exact same qualities, but got a slightly different result. I love how these quizzes have me pegged!!

It's That Time Again

I'm working on finishing Beth's CPH and I finally have the Expresscard that I need to hook up my camcorder and (cross your fingers) upload some video. So, to amuse you until a I get a good decent post together check out this quiz:

What kind of Star Trekkie are you? Your Result: You are a Vulcan or an android. Your intellegence, and opinions are excepted everywhere. You believe in logic above all else. You are normally in a second in command position. This does not matter, for you are not prone to ambition, or any emotion for that matter. You do not understand other races thought patterns at times, making you seperated from those around you.

What kind of Star Trekkie are you?

I would have liked to be more Omipotent, like Sandra, but am sufficiently satisfied with Vulcan/android. Okay, fess up - who's "phaser bait"?
I'm really looking forward to the new Trek movie - hopefully, it being such a departure from the traditional sequel variety it will be excellent!

No, I didn't sit at the back of the class

Yeah, I've still got it.

You paid attention during 86% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Do you deserve your high school diploma?

Definition of "Wannietta"

I get asked a lot about the origin of my name. I usually just tell people that my mother was really heavily sedated.

But really she liked the Spanish "Juanita" but wanted it to be Canadian. And we all know that Canada is like a melting pot - so she just threw in the alphabet and started picking letters out. "Wanita" is a variant of the traditional Native American "Waneta" so I guess if we play fast and loose with the associations then she's not too far off the mark.

Kristina knows how much I love the Quizes, and while I'm sure that I've done this one before, it's a keeper so I'm happy to post it again.

Test the Nation:IQ

I love a test - it's about the challenge. Not just to compete against others but ti provides a measurable benchmark for myself. I need that.

Now, not to brag okay, absolutely to brag, I scored a 130!! Trust me, no one is more surprised than me ... or is it I? Quite a bit above the average of the winning team - surgeons, which is a relief, because I'd hate to see the people who take lives in their hands not be the smartest (on paper anyway) - who scored 119.

I think that knitters should be included as a group the next time that they do this. And not that I would lie to you - I've got kids, I don't need to lie to my friends - or that you wouldn't believe just about any number that I put out there, I printed & took a picture of my results. No, I'm not going to have it framed, but I'm not gonna throw it out either.

How did you do against the rest of the nation?

Stuck Up

So I got a bumper sticker & another sticker that was used to close the bag that held the February yarn from the Rockin' Sock Club. I wasn't sure what to do with them. Kerwyn is anti-bumper sticker so the van was out. M'man Étienne stepped up! I guess he's been working with me long enough that he wanted to demonstrate his love for knitting in his own way. I think that they suit him. Of course, this means that I'm making a serious commitment to him too - I don't think that the stickers are designed for easy removal.

I've finished the first current Opal sock. Fits like a glove sock.

Mischief is becoming quite the knitting cat. Don't get me wrong - she loves yarn & playing with it, she's not a disgrace to her kind. But she has tapped into her inner kitten and found the Zen of knitting. It is so utterly relaxing that she isn't just cat-napping, she's completely passed out.

Amanda & I are going to be working (and I use that term loosely when I speak about knitting-related work) at The Needle Emporium on Wednesday. If you're going to be around, pop your head in and say "hey!".

What color of sock yarn do you prefer?

You like blue sock yarn. You are a fellow. You don't like bars, you prefer pubs.

6 Weird Things

about me - not just weird things in general. I've been reading these around the blogsphere and gave it some casual thought, but now that Julie's tagged me for real I'm going to have to dig deep & come clean.

1. I love coffee but I can't drink it even a little cooler than warm. Iced coffee - totally out!!

2. I can't do nothing. Even doing one thing at a time is a challenge. I love watching tv, playing cards online & knitting - and I can still pay attention to what's going on around me so the kids get away with nothing. Thank God for knitting - it's totally portable and fairly unobtrusive and is my fidget of choice.

3. I only use Crest toothpaste. It was always the regular paste until they came along with the Vanilla, but it has to be paste - no gels, liquids or foams.

4. I have to read before I go to sleep. I have a really hard time falling asleep - mostly 'cause I think about what I've done, didn't do, have to do, shoulda/woulda/coulda done and then I move on to thinking about the kids, Kerwyn, work etc.. I've found if I read - fantasy/sci-fi is my genre of choice - then I think less about my own circle of worry and can fall asleep with less worry.

5. a) I'm always cold. I will never doubt Kerwyn's love for me - he always lets me tuck my freezing feet in between his feet without pulling away or shrieking (even if he's fast asleep). I swear though - the night that he pulls away there will be questions asked! b) I can't wear socks to bed; it feels weird and I just can't do it.

6. I can't eat orange or grape flavoured things. I like real clementines & orange juice and love seedless grapes but artificial orange/grape flavour makes me gag. Ewww - I'm gagging right now just thinking about orange Kool-aid and grape popsicles. After vanilla anything red - cherry, raspberry & strawberry - is fair game.

Well, now you know a bit more about me and I hope it doesn't change anything between us. I'm gonna tag Anne, Kenny, Bonne, Jen, Joanne and Daphne.

THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the ‘6 weird things about you.’ People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave a comment that says ‘you are tagged’ in their comments and tell them to read your blog.”

Edited to add: Sorry if you're getting hit twice & I hope that you don't hate these memes!

March Break plans

I know that it seems like a ways off, but it's only 5 weeks away. And it's not like I had any specific plans - Kyle will probably be in & out with his friends and Amanda will surely be scheming for sleepovers - but if I did they'd surely have to be changed.
Kerwyn will be off on a business trip.
Over March Break.
In Reno, NV.(no worries there - Kerwyn really isn't a gambler)

I know.

If I weren't the gullible trusting type who had absolutely no imagination whatsoever was easily distracted ...

... oooooo - is that a new-to-me sock yarn that comes in colours that make the rainbow look like a poor cousin?

... and is that a Blog Thing?

You Are a Life Blogger!

Your blog is the story of your life - a living diary. If it happens, you blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible.

What Kind of Blogger Are You?

So my dance card is empty.

I'm an excellent playmate - I don't throw sand, I share my toys and I insist on a snacktime. So if you're even a bit tempted just holla at me.
