You are 42% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend. You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines! Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals! You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

wanna go home and eat and read my book

1. What's your personal clothing style...trendy or classic? Classic, usually.

2. Do you shop for designer names or stick with the more generic brands? I like some designer stuff like L.L. Bean, but I usually get generic stuff because that's what I can afford. I'd like to start making a lot of my own clothes.

3. Work clothes: dressy or casual? Fairly dressy.

4. Days off style: dressy or casual? Usually casual. Depends on what I'm doing.

5. Women: high heels or flats? Men: Wing-tips or work boots? I have both. It depends.

6. Do you have a large wardrobe, or just a few carefully selected pieces? Like Aisling said... I have too many clothes I don't wear.

7. Do you shop for clothing at stores or from catalogs/internet? I love catalogs, but recently I've been shopping mostly at places like Target and Kohl's that are less expensive than catalogs.

8. Are most of your clothes dry-clean only or machine-washable? Most are machine washable.

9. You buy an article of clothing and realize it is all wrong for you when you get home. Return or keep it? Return it!

10. Hats: yes or no? Sometimes.

I feel like I just ... MISSED something somewhere. A vital set of instructions on how to be a teenager, or something. What to do with makeup and with my hair and what kind of clothes to wear and how to talk to people. I just missed all that. I don't know how, but I did.

And now I'm not a teenager anymore, but I still feel that lack of something. It may be all in my head. I don't know. But there's just this barrier between me and people my age and I hate it. How am I ever going to make friends if I don't FEEL like they're my peers? How am I ever going to find anyone to date, for goodness sake? J is near(ish) my age and he doesn't make me feel like that. And he is the only person I have ever dated. But as much as I love him (in whatever sense of the word I might be using at the moment--it changes daily), I would really really like to just go on a date with someone. For the experience of doing so, if nothing else. I think it would do wonders for my self-esteem. And that sounds incredibly shallow. Argh. I just think it would help put EVERYTHING in my life right now in much better perspective if I didn't feel like the only possibilities for my future were to end up with J or end up alone.

I just want SOMEONE to show some sort of interest in me. As a friend, as a date, whatever. I'm incredibly sick of only having one friend in the area. It isn't healthy, for me or for my friendship with J. I'm sick of making him put up with being my only friend.

And will I regret this right after I post it? I don't know. Oh well.

Heh. Can you tell I like cold weather?

1. I had a good birthday.
2. I'm not sick anymore.
3. My kitten loves me.
4. I have a dresser now! No more clothes on the floor!
5. Going to Wyndham this weekend!

1. Get back in a good cleaning schedule.
2. Write more.
3. Read lots.
4. Finish knitting projects.
5. Make progress on stitching with deadlines.

what movie symbolism are you? find out!

"Everything you do today you'll do in such a manner that you make your activities appear exciting. I hope you like company because this enthusiasm will attract others to flock about you."

Well then. I'm sure that explains why there are currently NO patrons in the library, now doesn't it?

Well. Slight revision: the sky suddenly looks awfully dark, so we might get a fun thunderstorm. That would still be good. I have also discovered that no one else is coming in until two o'clock today. Which means that for 5 1/2 hours of my 6-hour shift, I'm on my own. So much for a lunch break.
