TAKE THE QUIZ YOURSELF )

Tuesdays are soooo long.  I’m out of the house by 8:00am and don’t get home until after 8:00pm.  What do I do all day?  School.  Gee whiz – super fantastic.  Anyway – at about hour 7 in my school day I got really really bored (I had a break between classes) and I thought – “A QUIZ will relieve my boredom. Hip hip horray!” :) :) :)  But then my conscience got the best of me so I did school research instead of taking mind-numbing quizzes.  HOWEVER – awhile back I took the quiz below and have decided to share my results.

I found the link to the quiz on Empossible in El Paso‘s Blog.

This quiz is a trip!

I’m not kidding – it pretty much describes me to a T! So yeah – are you bored?  Will you be bored in the near future?  Do you have a weird obsession for quizzes?  Oh nevermind – just take the quiz anyway!  It’s FUN!  :)

PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GET IF YOU TAKE THE QUIZ  :) and for you shy ones – you can always leave an anonymous comment :)  My results are after the section break.

Another First Day of School – and I’m a cougar??

Today started shortly after midnight.  (yeah yeah – I know.)  But you see I had gone to bed on time!  BEFORE midnight – for once!!!  But little good that did me because I was awoken shorty after the time when I should have turned into a pumpkin.  It was my toe.  Something bit me and my toe was burning.  Probably something that looked like this!

And NoooOoooOooo this is not a wikipedia picture – I took this one all by myself – TODAY. :) I didn’t die (yeah yeah – I know) and I finally fell back asleep, only to be woken by a buzzing.  Bzzzz.  Killer spiders and now killer moths AGAIN!  Apparently announcing my woes last night in my blog resulted in their recurrence.  (Wait – Daisy – do moths actually buzz? – I don’t know – but what else could be buzzing in my ear in the middle of the pitch black night?  Don’t answer that – I may be less scared of moths than whatever your answer is.)

Ok so I was up and at it by 6:30 this morning and you can imagine just how chipper I was after a night of almost no sleep.  Superduperchipper.  Though my mood lightened a bit when I caught the early bus which ended up being slow; HOWEVER it was filled with hotties.  Superduperhotties.  Man oh man – if only I had understood that correct train/bus time is critical for superduperhottie stalking I could have filled up my name page with like 40 more boys!!!

My first class was through this door.

Did I mention that I’ve switched from the Uni of Syd to the Ghetto Jungle?  I just hope they have hip hop inside.  Hip hop makes everything better.  :) No seriously – it makes everything better.  Even ice cream.  And pancakes.

Ok – that was weird.  Moving on!  I liked class number 1, I also liked class number 2 and I thoroughly enjoyed these local hang outs:

I noticed a couple interesting things on campus today.

  1. My skirt was too short – but not as short as everyone else’s dresses and shorts.
  2. I look as young or younger than many of the undergraduate students.
  3. I’m about to turn 27 and there are 19-22 year old men/boys eying me.  I think this makes me a cougar?  Hmm … I suppose I’m ok with that.  FM’s GF and I discussed (outrageously!) that maybe to celebrate my entrance into the late twenties that I should date someone from every age between 19 to 26 before 2010.   That’s quite a lofty goal – 8 men in one year – but considering I went on 7 dates with 7 different men in only 6 days back in January 2009 (yes – it’s true) – I may be able to swing it.  ;) AGH!  I’m a shocka!!!  The only difficulty with this “aspiration” is that I still have a stupid crush on CC+4 even though I know I’m being ridiculous by still having it – and since I’ve decided to look for substance I just don’t see how I can look for substance AND date hot boys based on their age.  Darn it – there goes that fab idea out the window!
  4. Spicy Salmon rolls are NOT as good as Salmon and Avocado rolls.
  5. And if I swing it correctly – lunch time could become my new networking/social endeavor.

Ok so this post is already outrageously long!  So I’ll sum up the rest of the day with a couple pics:

First Day of School Picture – I’m not sure what I’m listening to – probably one of the kick-A songs that CC+4 sent.  The “Hot Thing” one was sweet – but “Pop the Glock” was even better.  There’s also a chance I was listening to some Meiko – I love her songs “Reasons to Love you” and “Piano Song.”

a003

What a crappy pic eh?  Oh well – on to the next.  First semester I met Bruce -  he is a kindred spirit and a life saver!!!!  Pic from Semester 1:

Pic from semester 2: Bruce says I look younger … but I’m pretty sure my name isn’t Benjamin Button.

a007

It was amazing to catch up with Bruce – he is like a wise fortune teller.  Except he doesn’t predict the future.    He just has an uncanny knack for really understanding the HERE and NOW.

Next I saw the following sign – wteff?  and I learned another latin dance.

So there you have it.  A VERY long day.  Very very long.  I didn’t get home until midnight and feel like I haven’t slept for days.  I am SOOOOOO crashing tomorrow – and maybe doing some reading on the beach.  Which btw – I have some great points to make on the book “How To Win Friends and Influence People” – so maybe I’ll get to that this week.  Oh and I haven’t forgotten – I need to post my cricket video!  YAY!!!

Does anyone else salsa dance?  How long did it take you to learn?  I seriously suck.

Gossip

There are those who gossip Whisperand there are those who don’t – and I believe it is a character-defining quality.  Those who gossip lack character.

Now that’s a pretty strong statement for me to make and I feel the need to clarify what I mean when I use the word “gossip.”  Information sharing and gossiping are two very different things.  For the sake of your attention span ;) I won’t give in-depth explanations of how I differentiate between the two – let’s simply say that in my mind gossip Whisperis:

  • sharing information with the intent to harm;
  • sharing information recklessly without concern for the harm it may do;
  • sharing non-essential personal information with or without the intent to harm which may do harm because of its sensitive nature;
  • spreading indirectly sourced information;
  • or spreading or suggesting any information that you do not KNOW to be true.

So back to my previous assertion: Those who gossip lack character.  And “character” is something you ought not to lack.

My friend “Frenemy #1″ is a gossiper.  WhisperAnd though she usually sticks to the facts (though still gossip)- as of late – and probably because she has always had a thing for CC+4 – she’s stretching her “facts” a bit (which btw – that’s a sugar coated way of saying she’s a big fat liar.)  I live my life in a way which dispels her gossip and so I never have to worry about a tarnished reputation.  But this time her gossip impacted someone else in relation to me – CC+4.  And that’s just not cool.  When she drags people I care about into it … well … that’s when I kinda go from lamb to lion. Lion 3

I don’t even think CC+4 cares about the gossip – he hasn’t mentioned it to me.  Or maybe he’s sparing me from the drama back home??   I don’t know – I only know it’s a small world with FB and I found out anyway.  The gossip?  It was the kind which called the shared religious values of CC+4 and I into question.  Shocked 7 And in a predominately religious community such as SLC – that’s some of the worst gossip around.

The thing is – I’m not perfectly polished in that area of my life anyway – and I could stand a little burnishing (score!  WOTD used in a sentence again ;)) but the things she said were untrue and quite frankly a little malevolent. 

I am going to let this one go.  And while I let this slip under my radar – I’m finally going to let Frenemy #1 aka Mrs. Know slip under the radar as well.  Scott Pete has been encouraging me for a long time to cut her out of my life – and now that I’m like maturing and growing and stuff ;) I think I’m finally ready.  I don’t need people like that in my life.   Especially when there are sooooo many wonderful people out there. :)

Want to know what I haven’t done for awhile?  Post my awesome emoticons!  But it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow and I think that warrants some major emoticon love!  And yes – it DOES kinda look like cupid threw up all over my blog.  But too bad so sad!  It’s Valentine’s Day – deal with it.  )

Ah but my favorite one…  it’s called “go get a room.”

Get A Room

Just teasing!!!  My favorite one is this:

Love Eyed 3

HAHA!  lol.  No for REAL my fave is simply:

Valentines Day 2

Oh and THANK YOU to Dave from CafeDave because he sent me a link to find popcorn in Sydney.  YAY!!!  I’m sooooo excited!!

Ooh – it’s late.  I totally should be asleep right now – I have school tomorrow.  On Saturday.  I have school on Saturday – LAME!  And double lame because it’s Valentine’s Day!  Ah well – it’ll keep me distracted from the fact that MY sweethearts (which are none other than my adorable dogs Duchess and Chloe – aw – they’re so cute!!!!) AND any potential Valentine (like CC+4, Adorable Boy or Glitter Boy) are all 8,000+ miles away.

So I’m going to sign off for the night – tomorrow I’ll have to tell you about the crazy movie I saw, the yummy popcorn I ate ;) and maybe I’ll even tell you about the new kindred spirit I’ve discovered (would you ever have guessed it’s one of guys who used to be one of the slackers in my group at school?)  lol.

Good night!  Or maybe I should say, “Good morning!!”  xoxo ~Daisy

A new superhero power

I should really start keeping track of how many cool super hero powers I have. I figured out another one the other day. And then of course – let us not forget that I have SUPERHUMAN PERIPHERAL SPIDER RADAR VISION which is about the coolest thing evah (spelled “ever” in the U.S.) (read about it HERE – oh lol. And no I’m NOT graceful.)

Anyway – today I am happy to announce that I have discovered I have Extraordinary Obvious Pocket Locating Pow-ah (Power). Are you impressed?  Because you should be.  You see, as I mentioned in the linked post above, superhero powers that are a mouthful to say are better than those that are not.  And that means Extraordinary Obvious Pocket Locating Pow-ah is awesome by the title ALONE.  HOWEVER that’s not the ONLY reason why this power is so flipping sweet. No no, this power rocks because it gives me the ability to hide/store stuff – like cool superhero stuff – like lipgloss.  )

Want to know how I discovered this cool power?  I found a “new” pocket on one of my skirts today and then – the VERY SAME DAY (which is still today) – I discovered that the “decorative” pocket on my super fly new hat is actually functional! Decorative AND useful. How cool is that?

So anyway – that’s my BIG news for today. Extraordinary Obvious Pocket Locating Pow-ah.  I can’t really top that.  It’s just too cool.  Oh wait – omgosh – I ALMOST forgot!  I can’t TOP that but I do have other important news.  I’ve fallen in love with lychees.  Have you ever had a lychee? (spelled “litchi” in the U.S.) YUM. I LUV them.

Ok – better start my homework. I’m the only one in my group who does the reading so I have to do 3x as much. Have a happy Friday! And please feel sorry for me ;) as it’s going to be a scor-cha tomorrow (spelled “omgosh it’s so hot I think I’m going to die” in the U.S.) with temps close to like 1,000,000 Celsius and at least 134% humidity.  That’s hot.  So hot I won’t be able to wear my super fly new hat.  ( But hey – at least I’m a superhero. Do YOU have any cool superhero pow-ahs?
