You scored as Aquarius. You get along best with the sign of Aquarius. Although Aquarians can be seem very odd, or over opinionated, they are good generous people. They are the humanitarians of the zodiac; they always put others in the place of themselves. Aquarians have a strong sense of individuality, and likewise, can be very eccentric. They usually have many friends because they are very easy to get along with, although at times, Aquarians can be withdrawn and introverted when they choose to be.

Unlike Donna, apparently I am aging prematurely (for those playing along at home, I’ll turn 25 at the end of July). Does this mean I need to lighten up already?

More than I’m sure you ever wanted to know:

Having Dessert come first goes against every type A tendency in my poor addled brain. It also doesn’t give me any sort of guide as to which is which! Also, I loathe the word Boobies when used to describe my own.

Go on, tell me what kind of pirate I am…

What kind of pirate am I? You decide!

From bree (aka Brian), for (blogless) todd.

Which Family Guy character are you?

What did you do in 2004 that you’d never done before?
Raised $2000 for Charity, Walked 60kms, Dated (before this year I�d never done the whole �noncommittal wining and dining� thing), Worked full-time all year (I miss school!), Applied for EI (damn me and my elite job-finding skills, I wasn�t unemployed long enough to collect).

Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I checked the archives, but I didn�t make any tangible ones. At least, I certainly don�t remember what I was thinking at the time I wrote them. I’m not much of a resolutions person anyway, though I’ll toss a few in here for fun. Resolution: Make resolutions

Did anyone close to you give birth?
NoNameYet and trollzor welcomed the beautiful baby Drew into the world.

Did anyone close to you die?
Finally, no. 2004 was a funeral-free year� 2002/2003 were not so lucky.

What countries did you visit?
Only our esteemed neighbours to the South. Resolution: Change that this year.

What would you like to have in 2005 that you lacked in 2004?
A larger bed. Seriously. Soon� Resolution: Go Bed Shopping

What date from 2004 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
I can barely remember what date it is today � I never remember dates things happened on. See those things I hadn�t done before this year � I�ll definitely remember those.

What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Doing the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. It�s so seriously beyond anything I thought I could do at the time.

What was your biggest failure?
There are no failures, only lessons. I�ve also never actually failed at anything I�ve put my mind to succeeding at, so I honestly can�t think of any.

Did you suffer illness or injury?
Hmm� no I don�t think so.

What was the best thing you bought?
Hmm� I�m pretty sure the TV was this year, so I�ll say that. I bought a lot of crap this year though.

Whose behavior merited celebration?
All the friends who rallied around me when I was low. Seriously people, you rock.

Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My ex-roommate. It appalled me because she�s so psycho � and depressed me, because her lack of grasp on reality had a direct impact on my life.

Where did most of your money go?
The retail demons.

What did you get really, really, really excited about?
I do believe I squealed and jumped up & down when I got a new job.

What song will always remind you of 2004?
Too many to list.

Compared to this time last year, you are:
a) happier or sadder? happier
b) thinner or fatter? Thinner
c) richer or poorer? I don�t think I can claim richer� how about slightly less poor?

What do you wish you’d done more of?
Danced like I�d never danced before.

What do you wish you’d done less of?
Being bitter and miserable.

How did you spend Christmas?
In a whirlwind of family and food and drink. It was lovely.

How will you be spending New Years?
Big Pimpin� at Chez Low

Did you fall in love in 2004?
I fell out of love, which was the strangest, saddest thing I�ve ever experienced.

How many one-night stands?
One. Everyone needs a rebound, right?

What was your favorite TV program?
I have to pick just one? I�m a TV junkie � that�s impossible.

Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
No time for pure, unadulterated hate. There�s a few people I�ve come to know and dislike, but they don�t actually matter in my world anyway.

What was the best book you read?
Life of Pi. I think I technically finished it during 2004.

What was your greatest musical discovery for 2004?
Mash-ups, love them.

What did you want and get?
Everything. I�m a spoiled brat.

What was your favorite film of this year?
Probably The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou � but I only say that because I just saw it and still remember it.

What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I think I slept, and I turned a whopping 24 years old. Resolution: Have a huge, swinging �I�m a quarter century old now� party in 2005. July. Be there.

What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Not getting fat. Thankfully reversing that is already in full-swing.

How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2004?
Hey, I don�t look totally fat in this! It hides the rolls!

Getting laid off. It was the best thing to happen to me job-wise. I may have killed someone otherwise.

Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Boston Rob from Survivor All Stars. Love.

What political issue stirred you the most?
I�m so high strung that I tend not to let things that I can�t control �stir� or otherwise rile me up, or I may explode. I made my choices, I voted on everything I could � what more is there to do?

Who did you miss?
Jesse. Come back home!

Who was the best new person you met?
I met quite a few great people this year � couldn�t possibly name just one. I usually meet new people pretty frequently though. The difference this past year is that I maintained and developed some fabulous existing friendships that mean the world to me.

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
Love yourself. In the end, you�re the only one who always will.

Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
The lyrics on the entire �Heavier Things� album by John Mayer are a pretty accurate reflection on my year. A few quotes from a few songs:

All you need is love is a lie cause
We had love and we still said goodbye
Now we�re tired, battered fighters
-Split Screen Sadness

I worry
I weigh three times my body
I worry
I throw my fear around
But this morning
There�s a calm I can�t explain
The rock candy�s melted, only diamonds now remain
-Clarity

Cause ever since I�ve tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It�s been fine
I�ve been cool
With my new golden rule
-New Deep

Don�t hold your love over my head
-Come Back to Bed

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
-Daughters

Well, here you have it: the long-awaited answer to yesterday’s post.

But first, I must say I’m a bit disapointed that more people doubt my gastrointestinal fortitude, and my fishing skills than my outright ability to lie, cheat and steal. Except Donna that is - thanks for the vote of confidence!

Unfortunately for Donna, that’s all she gets, for she is incorrect.

The grand prize actually goes to the very first guess, by dearheart. I have never, ever run over a cat. Or any other animal larger than a rat for that matter (though some rats are as large as some cats - but not any rats that I’ve hit). But I digress…

Congratulations dearheart! Explanations of my strange truths in the extended entry…
(more…)

Stolen from Joelle. All of these things are true about me, except ONE! Guess which it is.

First person who knows me (or wants to meet me) to get it right gets a beer (or other beverage of your choice). If you don’t know me, or live far, far away I’ll find something neat to mail you.

Ready, Set, Go:

1. I have seen Donny Osmond in nothing but his skivvies.

10. I faced my own mortality when I nearly died on a ranch 45 minutes away from any sort of paved road, 3 hours away from access to medical care.

Good Luck!

Update: So here’s a freebie - it’s not #6, because I mis-diagnosed my own prior injury. I only had a very small area with 3rd degree burns (point of impact), but due to the area (hairline) I don’t actually have scarring. Any other guesses before I post the answer?

Legend:
Bold - I’ve done it.

I doubt you’ll find anything surprising.

First, a PSA - November is here, please get your poppy and donate generously.

Other than that, nothing interesting to report. I kicked a bit of ass at Training Jeopardy and won a company branded hoodie jacket. Handy, as I’ve been in the HOLYFRICKINHELLITSCOLDINHERE training room all last week and today.

And now, a meme. Stolen from everyone. After the jump.
