Star Trek Personality Test -- Results

Myers-Briggs would say that you are an ESTP (Extrovert, Sensor, Thinker, Perceiver). In Star Trek language, you share a basic personality configuration with Geordi La Forge, Montgomery Scott, and Tasha Yar.

People like you are generally highly observant and totally present in the moment. You're active and adventurous, so you can sometimes be impulsive, even when confronted with danger. You're not interested in regrets, however, if your impulsiveness causes you to make an error. You're a free spirit.

You're very adept socially and easily make friends, especially when people are honest with you. You're talkative and adaptive to people and situations, though you prefer to be casual. You can be logical and calm, but you love to have fun. You've got a great sense of humor, and you're charming whenever you want to be.

You're also quite literal, a practical person who makes good use of your intense curiosity.

Your primary goal in life is the freedom to have fun and to fully experience life in the here and now. Your reward is to be surrounded by people who share your sense of fun and humor.

Good careers for your type include emergency medical technician, corrections officer, security chief, civil engineer, chief engineer, marine biologist, and developer of electronic games.

Kev's comments: Definitely not an Extrovert. Not talkative. Yes, a great sense of humor (at least I think so!), I think I can be charming too. Probably not the most observant, and not "totally in the moment". Not adept socially, not active-somteimes impulsive. But I can be logical and calm and love to have fun (my own kind of fun). Yes, I'm probably quite literal and practical. But I don't think my primary goal in life is the freedom to have fun. But I do enjoy having people around who share my sense of humor.

Sunday Brunch for February 27, 2005

Today's Sunday Brunch

"Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what's for lunch." -Orson Welles

Or, "...ask what your country can do for lunch." --Kev

1) Do you take your lunch hour at work? Have to. I work 8 hours at a 9-1-1 center and we're not guaranteed a lunch break. We eat at our consoles.

2) What is your favorite place to eat lunch at? My console. Oh, you mean a restaurant. I usually bring sandwich. If we do eat out as a group, it's usually fast-food. Subway is good.

3) What do you usually eat for lunch? Oops. Answered that. A sandwich from home.

4) Do you have anyone that you eat lunch with on a regular basis? Everyone in the room. But we're all at different consoles, and if we don't send someone to bring in fast food, we usually eat at different times. The phone has to be answered and the radio traffic has to be handled, so sometimes our lunches sit and get cold while we do our job.

5) If not eating, what do you usually do on your lunch hour? See above. Answering phones, handling 9-1-1 calls and other telephone calls, and any other problems that creep up as the day progresses.

Sunday Brunch for February 27, 2005

You know what I don't like?

I don't like it when I'm schedule to get off work at 11 p.m. and my relief doesn't show up.

I called her at home; she said she's supposed to be off on FMLA leave today (and tomorrow and Monday). She was not scheduled that way. In fact, she was scheduled off for her FMLA leave next week!

Someone screwed up, or is very confused.

I'm now working a 12-hour shift. I'll get off at 3 a.m. and have to be back at 3 p.m. I'll miss the class Rubi and I are taking at church (which we've been lazy and have missed 2 classes already). The supervisor that worked 2nd shift with me today will be coming back after 4 hours and working 3 a.m. until 7 a.m. I couldn't reach the scheduled dayshift supervisor to come in early. And I couldn't reach the 3rd shift supervisor that is on his regular day off to come in and work (but he's probably inebriated anyway).

Now, the entire supervisors' schedule is frelled up for the entire week. I had a couple of 3rd shifts scheduled at the end of the week (because of her leave), but hopefully those will be 2nd shifts now. But until we make contact with other supervisors, hopefully Sunday during the day, my schedule is up in the air (as is the schedule for all the supervisors).

Rubi was none too happy when I called her at 11:07 p.m. tonight and told her I wasn't coming home. She answered the phone "You have got to be kidding me." She knows if I call her, well, when I'm supposed to be pulling in the driveway, that I'm probably working over. It doesn't happen all that often that I have to stay over unexpectedly, but I don't like it.

(I am getting paid for it though, as I type this, so that helps.)


EDIT: 1 a.m. Yay! The 3rd shift supervisor that is on his day off today finally called in. He's on his way in to relieve me. I've called the other supervisor to let her know she doesn't have to be here at 3 a.m.
Now we just need to get the rest of the weekend/week straightened out.

You know what I don't like?

Okay, clearly it's MAGIC lipstick.

Because I got another compliment today. [boggles] On the way to work, I had Kev stop in at a gas station so I could pick up a paper and a drink. As I was paying for my stuff, the guy at the register, maybe in his mid-late 20s, said "You've got a beautiful smile." Squeee! Three in three days?! Quick, girls, everyone run to the Clinique counter and pick up a tube of Tenderheart lipstick!

Okay, clearly it's MAGIC lipstick.

Where Kev Is From

The Happy Husband has once again posted about his collection of Where I am From poems.
I finally took the hint and decided to take the template and make my own. (Rubi: you should too!)

Here it are:

I am from books, from Star Wars, and church.

I am from the old white house on the top of the hill, the buried bomb shelter in the backyard.

I am from rolling hills, enthralling woods. From private education. Long bus rides.

I am from Christmas with family, big noses, from Julius and Henry, from grandparents known and unknown.

I am from the married, the lower middle class.

From parents who love their children no matter what, and "be careful who you have as friends".

I am from Christianity, God's saving grace through his Son, Jesus.

I'm from Evansville Indiana, from Germany and Poland, chili and pizza.

From the loss of seven teeth all at once, the bad choices, and the triumphs.

I am from walls of pictures, boxed up memories in closets, a thick album of wedding pictures, digital photos on CD-ROMs, and scrapbooks my wife creates; A life and lives intertwined. Love and laughter. Family and Friends. Present and Past and times to come.

Where Kev Is From

Tales from the mom side.

Things that made me smile recently:

-Yesterday at work, I was sitting at a block of tables in the center of the scrapbooking department, doing some prep work for a class I was going to teach. A little old lady customer trundled her cart by. If a customer happens by, I usually will look up and offer a smile, "How are you?", etc. She smiled back, said fine. Stopped. Took a second look. Said "Well aren't you a pretty young lady!" Well, um, uh...SURE! Yep, okay, I'll accept that! A little ego stroking out of the blue is always welcome.

-Tonight, I took the kiddos over to the police headquarters to deliver Girl Scout cookies. (My dad is a police detective, and we sell cookies at headquarters and the Records Room.) Dad walked the kiddos and I out to my van when we were done. As we were saying goodbye, he took a closer look at me, and pronounced, "You look pretty tonight." Again? Cool! This is clearly the result of the gorgeous new lipstick I picked up at Lazarus-Macy's last week, and had to fight Kev tooth and nail to be allowed to buy. (Clinique Tenderheart) So, so worth it.

-I taught a scrapping class at a local middle school today after work. The school offers an afternoon program for lower income young girls who are considered "at-risk", and had called my workplace asking someone to come teach scrapbooking at one of their programs. The owner referred them to me, and off I went. I really enjoyed myself, and hit it off nicely with the girls, who were a really sweet bunch. They seemed pretty interested in learning more about the hobby, and I felt like maybe this had made a little difference for them. The director of the program has asked me to do a three hour workshop with a group of her older girls, in a few months, so apparently she liked me too.

-The Nashville trip is in two weeks. [dances with anticipation]

-My 1 month subscription to "Well Dressed Sims". Six bucks for a month of unlimited downloads of nifty objects, skins, and clothing for my Sims 2 game. Money can't buy happiness, but that $6 just bought me a lot of fun.

Things I have to do tomorrow. That are pretty much guaranteed to make me NOT smile.

-Call the company that has our homeowners insurance and have a big fight with them. They still haven't fixed the damage to our home from December. They've offered up some obscenely low amount of things they'll pay for, when they have to know it's unacceptable. I'm sure at one point, the convo will involve my threatening to move our insurance elsewhere. As Kev pointed out, I'm much better at this kind of thing than he is, but that doesn't mean that I'm not cringing in anticipation of it. I HATE that stuff.

-Call our health insurance provider. Explain to them in the shortest sentences, and simplest words possible that NO, four year old Alexander did not receive his injury in the workplace, NO, he does not have workman's comp, so will you PLEASE just pay the frigging claim already.

-Sweep and mop the kitchen floor. I'm not going to feed the kids meals anymore, I'm just going to start slopping them in the backyard.

More Villains

Fraidy Cat, Fraidy Cat!

That's me! Picking my top five scary villians is hard, because I'm a big ol' wuss. Therefore, I don't watch all that much that's scary, which narrows the list, and the ones I DO see all scare the bejeezus out of me. Okay, thinking. (Note: I've already gotten number one typed, it's a shoo-in, I'm just pondering the other four!) Off we go: the top five scary villians, as related by a Whedon freak.

5. Kenneth Irons. Suave, attractive, wealthy as all get-out. And chillingly ruthless and evil. Brrrr.

4. Caleb. Total mysogyny and superpowers, behind a calm, rational face and a priest's collar. And the eye thing. Someone hold me.

3. Those things in SG-1 (Sorry, my love, I've forgotten who they are) that show up with the giant metal rings that drop down out of nowhere, forming a big stack. Shiny light, the rings disappear, and poof. Buncha bad guys, there to kill you. As I've explained to Kev, it's their arrival that's so scary. There's no warning, just big rings clanking down from the sky, and you are flat out of time. Not even time to duck behind a rock. You are officially dead, captured, have a snake in your head, whatever.

2. Jasmine. Aiieeee! Remember when that little boy turned around and started talking with her voice in the tunnel? Gah.


Number one, no question: Angelus. Holy crap, he scared me worse in Buffy Season two than anything ever. He gleefully embraced D'Hoffryn's philosophy: Why go for the kill when you can go for the pain? Extended, subtle, very well thought out, both mental and physical, and as personal as possible pain.

You'll notice the distinct absence of the mayor on my list. Sorry y'all, he was just a big ol' doofus. Even when he yanked Giles' sword out of his chest, all I could think was "Man, I would NEVER want to be on Giles' bad side."

Fraidy Cat, Fraidy Cat!

Blog Party Today

MCF is having a Blog Party today!

It's like a block party only it's taking place in the blogosphere.

The blog party theme is "Your Top Five Villains of All Time, from Comics to Cartoons to Television to Film".

Here are mine:

5. Hector, the robot from Saturn 3: I watched this movie when I was much younger. That robot scared the *&^%$ out of me. It was relentless in it's pursuit of the two people on the space station.

4. The Joker as portrayed by Jack Nicholson in 1989's Batman. This character actually took glee in his maniacal killings.
And he wore a purple suit.

3. The Kurgan: from the original Highlander movie. "The endless killing's driven him mad!" He pursued his quarry as long as it took, and relished the kill.

2. Mayor Richard Wilkins III: the big bad from Buffy's season 3. He is so not scary that it made him all the more better as a villain. He performed his villainy with a smile on his face and a wet-wipe ready for action.

And I'm going to have to go for a tie for number one:

Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker: From the Star Wars movies. Darth Vader, in the original trilogy, is the big bad of the galaxy. Anakin, in the prequel trilogy, is a bratty young kid with delusions of grandeur that ultimately lead to him becoming Darth Vader. Anakin is responsible for the slaughter of an entire Tusken Raider village/camp, slaughters innumerable Jedi and Jedi younglings, becomes Darth Vader and hunts down the remaining Jedi to extinction, and spends 18 years terrorizing not only the galaxy at large as the Emperor's Enforcer, but also pretty well terrorizes his own navy by being ruthless.

And

Angelus: from Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel TV series'. Jenny Calendar: Need I say more?

EDIT: Gah! I forgot about Megatron II!! When MCF first posted about the blog party last week I started mentally composing my list and Megatron II from Beast Wars topped my list!! He's definitely more villainous than my top 2 picks. He robbed an entire planet full of beings of their "souls" and kept them bottled up for his own personal use! That's villainy!

Blog Party Today

Fact?! Since when?

Ron Moore, Executive Producer of the new Battlestar Galactica series on the SciFi Channel, blogs about evolution and the relationship to his characters trying to find Earth, the lost 13th colony (I added the emphasis):

"The question I would really like to see addressed is how to reconcile the underlying quest of Battlestar Galactica with actual scientific plausiability. The quest of Battlestar Galactica is to find Earth, the 13th Colony. However, it is a basic and well-substantiated tenet of science that human life here on Earth evolved slowly from a primate ancestor. Attempts to deny evolution based on the notion that human kind deserves a far more worthy origin than what evolution details, are a diservice to the pursuit of scientific truth and endeavors in our own world. There was always that reactionary sense to the original series, which drove it away from a secure standing as *science* fiction. How will the new series avoid this pitfall?"

I don't have a direct answer for this question yet. There are a couple of notions rolling around in my head as to how we reconcile the very real fact of evolution with the Galactica mythos, but I haven't decided which approach to take. However, it was a fundamental element of the orginal Galactica mythos that "Life here began out there..." and I decided early on that it was crucial to maintain it.

Uhm... since when has evolution been a fact? It's still referred to as the theory of evolution. It hasn't been proved. It can't be proved! No one was there to see it, and scientists can't recreate in their labs primates evolving into intelligent humans. Hence: theory.

Fact?! Since when?

"Turn them on, turn them on, turn on those sad songs. When all hope is
gone, why don't you tune in and turn them on?" -Elton John

1) Do you have a song with your significant other and what is it? Not really.
2) Name three songs that were special to you with former significant
others. Do you still think of that person when you hear it? Nope.
3) What is your favorite song of the moment? Blessed Be by Tree63.
4) Do you associate songs with time periods? Give an example. I guess. Certain songs I still listen to remind of when I first discovered them. One Vision by Queen when I first saw the movie Iron Eagle.
5) If you were to give your job a theme song, what song would it be and
why? Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al.

Sunday Brunch for February 20, 2005

That ol' ball and chain...

is looking pretty good this morning.

Last night we dropped the kids off at my inlaws and had dinner with some of Kev's old college friends, as part of a memorial for Ed. In town for the event was Kev's best friend from college, who is a bachelor. (And, weirdly, a brief crush of mine before Kev and I began dating. Don't think I didn't ponder the "whatifs" once or twice last night, and look at my darling with renewed adoration.)
ANYway, he's a nice guy, successful, seems to be happy with his career. We discussed for a while the whole marriage and family vs. not so much thing, since the poor guy's mother is really putting the pressure on him to start breeding, like, yesterday. But marriage and family just don't seem to be in the cards for him, by his choice. I'm happy he's enjoying his life.

But then we left the restaurant. Instead of picking up the kids, my darling and I slipped home for a bit of alone time first. Afterwards, we went to my inlaws, where we carried our sleeping children to the van, with their little arms around our necks and their heads resting on our shoulders. Carried them to their beds at home the same way. Sweet little kisses all around.
Brief downtime for the grownups with book and computer, then my darling and I snuggled up in bed together and fell asleep in one another's arms.

Ball? Chain? Yes please, with a side of rugrats.



BTW, in a bit of real life intrusion, I'm annoyed with Elizabeth's feet. Last year, at the beginning of soccer season, I paid a significant amount of extra money for the fancy soccer cleats. They were the most cunning little things, in the royal blue of her school colors, and a nifty little feature that allowed them to expand from a 12 all the way to a 1 when needed! I figured they were worth it, since they were good quality and she could wear them two years in a row.
It worked partly. They're still in excellent condition and all ready for soccer season, which begins for her league in a couple of weeks. Her feet? Are a size one and a HALF.

That ol' ball and chain...

In other news...

I'm up to my elbows in Girl Scout cookies here. Elizabeth sold 200 boxes, and there are cases everywhere in our teensy home. Luckily, I was able to outsource a couple of delivery jobs - heh - to my darling and my sister. Kev took an order form to work, so everything that his coworkers bought got packed up in cases and sent to work with him. My sister sold cookies at the workplace of someone she knows, and last night she arrived to pick up two more cases to deliver there.
We also managed to get cookies delivered to the teachers and mothers of school friends who ordered, yesterday after school. That leaves nine cases still to be delivered. We'll be heading down to police department this afternoon to unload a couple of them, and then to my parent's neighborhood to get rid of the majority of the rest. Whew.


Oh, also? I've got a new eBay auction up. Go, see, bid. Shoo!

In other news...

Me too, me too!

Wow. Why I got married. I can't fathom being married to anyone else but my darling, so I've got to think about it in that context. He's my best friend. My soulmate, as overused as that word is. We get one another's sense of humor, tolerate (mostly) one another's strange little insanities and quirks, understand one another completely, and love one another more than anyone else in the world.

When you're so incredibly lucky as to find that person, why would you not want to marry? Announce it to the world, promise it to God, every day for the rest of your life? Be bound to that person, for as long as you both shall live. Not just live together, which to me has a feeling of "until we don't feel like it anymore or something better comes along", but be married. Forever, no matter what happens. For all to see.

Me too, me too!

Why get married?

CW over at Witt and Wisdom posts about being asked "Why He Got Married" and how he couldn't come up with an answer right away. Not specifically why he got married, but a more general why get married at all.

My response is: Getting married proclaims publicly to all who witness it, and to all who see the rings, and to God, that you have devoted yourself to this woman (and this woman alone) and your love will last a lifetime. Just living together without a public proclamation recognized by God and Country isn't good enough.


CW's response, once he had a chance to think about it and blog about it, is:
"I got married because it means something to me and it means something to every person who knows us. It's not a piece of paper and a priest. It's a statement.

I knew the moment that I met her that I wanted to look into her jewel-clear eyes and see her smile and hear her laugh every day. Every day. For the rest of our lives. The only future that I have, the only future that I want, is forever with her. "

That's why I'm married. And that's why no date on a calendar matters, because it's just another day on the road to ever after.

Why get married?

Killing time...

waiting for my darling to come home. I'm disappointed tonight, as I had to tell my friends that I wouldn't be joining them for a mom's night out dinner and movie on Saturday. It's just not in the budget this week. I also had to decline a scrapbooking get together tomorrow morning, as I'm working. Not my usual morning to work, but I switched from Tuesday to be parent helper at Alexander's preschool. Feh. Ah well. We're getting together again on Sunday, and I can actually attend that one. (Stampin' Up party. Whoot!)

My album thingy sold on eBay. Happy, and yay. Next up, page kits. This is all going to fund my trip to Nashville in March: http://www.ckscrapbookevents.com/tn2005/
Hotel and classes are all paid for, so anything I make on eBay is spending money for the vendor fair and restaurants. I refuse to take money from the family funds for that if I don't have to. I've got an internet buddy who has pulled in $350 for Nashville selling page kits on eBay over the past few weeks. Hopefully I can do as well.

My darling is home, it's off to bed for me.

Pretty pretty! You know you want it! Put in the pictures, write in it a bit, give it to someone as a gift and they'll think you're the wonderfullest.

Almost forgot.

Whaddya mean she's not flawless?!

Sigh. I DON'T like Elizabeth's teacher. We just don't see eye to eye. I feel that she's more interested in criticizing bad behavior than in solving it, and she obviously thinks I'm an overly permissive idiot.
The longest convos I have with this woman are when she's enthusiastically telling me all about Elizabeth's indiscretions. I don't think she's ever had a good thing to say about her. And it's just not very constructive. I'm all "Okay, what can we do to solve "x" problem that you're going on and on and ON about?", and she just wants to criticize. My inner mama bear goes wild at this, and it's all I can do to be civil. We're talking about a kid who has pulled honor roll every grading period, throughout first grade and all of this year. Her GPA has never dropped below 3.70, and at the end of last year she was given the Colossians award. (One child from each grade is selected for this award, which is essentially the "model student in every way" award.) I know for a fact that she's not as horrible as this teacher makes her out to be. Grr, snarl. Is the school year over yet?

This is the same woman who freaking forgot to fill out Elizabeth's last report card. I opened the envie to find a blank report card. She somehow made it sound like the students fault. Some gibberish about how she was working on report cards, but then had to set them aside to, actually, you know, TEACH. Then she forgot to finish Elizabeth's.

Most frustrating teacher ever. I think I'm a bit spoiled, because Elizabeth had the same fabulous teacher for both preschool years. She struck gold again with her jewel of a kindergarten teacher, and had a similarly wonderful first grade teacher. Then I wind up with this harpy for second grade. Sigh.

Whaddya mean she's not flawless?!

My wife is cool

Apparently, Rubi is really good at scrapbooking (duh!).
That's a silly comment, considering the links in the right-hand column point to some of her scrapbooking pages about our family; and that "scrapbooking" is one of the keywords in the meta description of this blog...

But twice in the past week, she's called me from work and asked if I could take certain days off because customers at the craft store she works part time at have asked her to talk about/demonstrate scrapbooking at their upcoming event. And her boss will pay her to do so!!

In fact, the business cards her boss made up for her "off-site visits" call her a "Rubber Stamp and Scrapbooking Specialist". And she's just a part-time employee there!

She's so cool.

When I worked part time... I was a "lackey" or "peon", not a "specialist".

My wife is cool

MCF posted his results of this quiz.

I took it twice, because: me? Punisher?! Maybe a completely alternate personality... The second time it said I was Cyclops.... That makes a little more sense... Apparently Scott Summers was a radio announcer at some point (I didn't know that), and so was I!

"The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who
can't read them." -Mark Twain

1) Do you use bookmarks? Absolutely. I abhor dogear-ing pages.

2) What is your favorite book? "Book"? Singular? sheesh, I have to pick?

3) Who is your favorite author? Hmmm... Asimov for Classic Sci-fi. James Luceno for current pop-sci-fi. Clive Cussler for action/adventure, oh wait... Maybe Matthew Reilly, or Bob Mayer, or James Rollins, or or...

4) What is the movie you feel is the most authentic version of a book? The Lord of The Rings tried to be authentic, and did a pretty good job.

5) Is there a book you wish they would make into a movie and why? The Asimov Robot and Foundation novels. But I don't think they'd turn out well. I know there's a Clive Cussler book being made into a movie this summer. I'll go see it, but it probably won't be as good as the book. Greg Bear's Eon and Eternity would be great movies if they stuck to the book and didn't try to Hollywood them up.

My Favorite Praise Song

This song expresses exactly how I feel: "No matter what, God, I'll still praise your name.
Thank you for the blessings you pour out on me, and thank you for the trials you give me that make me grow."

Artist: Tree63
Album: The Answer to the Question
Title: Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
And blessed be Your name when I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise
And when the darkness closes in Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name when the sun's shining down on me
When the world's "all as it should be"
Blessed be Your name
And blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
