Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

NFPS - The Guru

Nature, Foreground, Big Picture, and Shape

You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on what's in front of you (the foreground) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the shapes around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to deal directly with whatever comes your way without dealing with speculating possibilities or outcomes you can't control. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You prefer a structured environment within which to live and you like things to be predictable.

Words of Interest

I just thought this was interesting and worth sharing. It's from awordoftheday.

bindle stiff

\BIN-dul-stiff\
noun

hobo; especially : one who carries his clothes or bedding in a bundle

There were a lot of bindle stiffs on the freight train today.

In the argot of tramps and hoboes, a roll of clothes and bedding was called a "bindle," a word that probably originated as an alteration of the more familiar "bundle." "Stiff" itself can mean "hobo" or "migrant worker," meanings it took on in the late 19th century. About the same time, any tramp or hobo who habitually carried such a pack was known as a "bindle stiff." In Australia, a pack-carrying hobo might be called a "swagman."

Your Karaoke Theme Song is "Margaritaville"

You are a true party animal, but your style is mild and chill.

Kicking back with a few friends and a few drinks is all you need to be happy.

You certainly don't feel pressured to be a part of any party scene. In fact, you avoid trendier spots.

You've been known to kick loose anywhere and everywhere. All you need is a cooler.

You might also sing: "Gin and Juice," "Love Shack," and "Red Red Wine"

Stay away from people who sing: "Wind Beneath My Wings"

You Are Disco Dancing

You are very energetic and lively. You could dance all night.

Fun loving and social, you like dancing best when everyone in the room is dancing.

You love to dance to anything, and it's hard to stop once you start.

You love dancing in a crowd. And no matter how big the crowd, all eyes are usually on you.

What Dance Are You?

To tell you the truth, I thought I'd be modern dancing.

I know, it's been so long since I posted here. After the bust with the open house, I went into a funk of sorts. Then about last Wednesday I started planning ways to deal with being stuck here. There still are any jobs here that I can ever hope to land. People here just see the disability and ignore the skills and even me, the person. I did start another journal / blog here at LJ. I'm trying my hand as a cynic commentary writer. I'm writing about what I know -- this crumby little town. You can read it here. If you like it, please add it to your list of friends.

What Bird are You?

Glynis, you are a swan. The swan is a complex character. While appearing on the surface as a calm and relaxed individual, underneath they are working hard to keep up with the pace of modern life. If provoked their natural graceful demeanor can give way to a violent temper which puts them in a flap. They are definitely someone to have on your side.

I've been trying so hard to write enough articles for AC and Helium.com that I've neglected anything worthwhile here at LJ. I'm finding it difficult right now to think of things to write about. Not really writer's block but definitely a slump. I do have a couple of new articles written though if you want to check them out. I'm writing for AC first and them copying them to Helium.com.

This time last week there was over 2 feet of snow on the ground. Because of the temperature being just slightly warmer, there was more ice to contend with. So much more that there wasn't garbage pickup the following day (Tuesday). Today is foggy and cold. Hopefully the snow will continue to melt. Most on the snow is gone on the south side of the house now. Just don't try to walk across our yard. You'll think you're in a marsh.

This last Thursday, the realtor called to say that someone wants to look at the house tomorrow morning. So why am I not sprucing up the house today? There just no point in doing it until my husband gets home because he bring half of the outside in with him. Yes, I'm exaggerating but he does bring in a lot of dirt. I am doing laundry as I write this and will neatly fold it all once it's done. I've learned not to get excited whenever there's a showing of the house. Instead I'm looking at this as a way to keep myself in check on doing a good job at cleaning the house.

I was sick most of the weekend with a migraine headache. I've been having them every once in awhile since I had the stroke way long ago. At first I could deal with them by just taking Anacin. It would take about 2 hours for the pain to subside to a dull ache. But then I was in a car accident that broke my nose. Since then, the headaches last at least 6 hours and sometimes as long as 2 days. I think I have figured out something about this though. I'm bound to get the headaches because my brain keeps on trying to heal itself. The reason why they last longer is because my sinuses aren't shaped the same as they use to be because of the car accident. I think what I need to do it take the Anacin and then, 3 hours later, take some Sudifed (sp?) for my sinuses.

CAT DIARY 

Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling 
objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash 
or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat 
something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my 
dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today 
I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this 
would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable 
of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter'
I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary 
confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell 
the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must 
learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. 

This morning I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors 
by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow-- but at 
the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog 
receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than 
willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I 
observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my 
every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, 
so he is safe. For now...

My Email - - - SCREAM!

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:54:33 GMT

After all that trouble with my PC a couple of weeks ago, last Thursday I ended up having to reset the entire Windows programs to the original settings. I actually didn't mind it all that much because most of what I lost I have on the internet at various sites or I have on CDs. I wasn't counting on having problems with my email though.

I can receive email through my Outlook Express but I can't send anything. I also lost all of my contacts which is annoying. Until I get some decent help from my ISP about this issue, I will have to use the email program at their site. This is ok except for when they do maintenance. SCREAM!!!!!!

You're Ulysses!

by James Joyce

Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared
to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do
understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once
brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in
the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you
additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

I just knew that this one would come up. How could it not?

I don't make New Year's resolutions. Any and all changes I make in my life are done when I think about them all through the year. It's ridiculous to wait until a new year starts. If you can't make the commitment when you think about a change in your life, what makes you think you can stick to it starting New Year's Day?
