I just spent an hour and a half playing cars with little kids, and then having them send me to jail.
Summer small groups at church are working out REALLY well so far. We met some cool families. They all liked Tie a lot. The little kids liked Luke, and he was nice to them, and I let them change his water.
Mmm, ice cream.
"Uno" is a stupid game.
So my dad's dreams finally came true: I like jazz.
Mr. Faxon dragged us all over to North Thurston to play at a jazz festival, even though we were the only ones from our district to attend. Not weird. But it was fun and there were a lot of good bands (even one that played "Let's Groove", which is my favorite song!!!). The Seattle Women's Jazz Orchestra played, and they were pretty spectacular, but the BEST part was going to the Olympia Farmer's Market for lunch. Paul, Alexis, Sarah, and I got German-American food, and I ate all of Sarah's curly fries and mozzerella sticks, but she ate all my ice cream, and then we were all too full....
...and happened to pass a bakery full of the most delicious desserts known to man.
Drat. Drat that stupid ice cream and it's Caramel Caribou goodness.
Talent show, talent show.
I hate the talent show.

Trans...what an interesting root word.
We had that discussion yesterday in Pre-AP. It was a little dumb because Mrs. Sims gave the whole lecture on "be more tolerant of other people's lives" (only she referred to a hermaphrodite rather than a transvestite, which is what we were laughing about), but it was a little bit humbling. I mean, on SYATP day, too.
Pretty much.
Eh. So Metallica and I had sort of a falling out. Well, not really, as I still listen to them, but I wasn't aware of the language in "Damage, Inc.". I didn't like that song anyways. But, even though "Leper Messiah" is about televangelists, it makes me uncomfortable because Metallica seems anti-war and anti-Christianity, it seems, so it could have a meaning other than that. Also, "Master of Puppets" is probably the best song they ever did, but I started thinking about the lyrics and I dwelled on it for a long time, and though they say it's about the government, why'd you have to mention a Passion Play? And since they also have songs called "Holier Than Thou" and "The God That Failed", it makes it seem a little anti-God. I put the Black Album on my ipod, tho, and I haven't found anything bad on that one. Only I didn't put "The God That Failed" on there. The premise is pretty sad, tho. Wikipedia it.
Yeah. I guess I didn't have to tell you all that.
I feel like listening to Nirvana. If only they didn't suck. I hate to say that I like the song "Heart-Shaped Box". Don't tell William.
I hate math. Just when I start to understand things, they throw something else at me. Aaagh. We had a quiz today. I did okay, but there was one question that when I checked it it was 60 off. Oh well. Don't care.
Hm. What is my karaoke theme song?
I love Thursdays. And we have a 3 day weekend. BAM.
AAAAAAAAARGH worst book ever: "Mismatch" by Lensey Namioka. The plot wasn't too bad: Chinese-American girl and Japanese-American boy try to date without their traditional parents freaking out. But Lensey Namioka is a HORRIBLE writer. The book is 217 pages. Within 100 pages, Sue and Andy's families are crazy about each other, and the rest is about a trip to Tokyo. It was just a stupid mess of heavy messages against racism, while stereotyping the Japanese people and country. Dialogue was awkward, characters were shallow. AAAARGH! It just made me mad that I wasted my time reading it. Sorry. But I just finished it and it was disappointing.
Ew. "Cherry Pie" is like my least favorite song of all time. William plays it on "Guitar Hero" all the time.
Heeee I made brownies. Only there was a recipe for Cookie Dough Brownies, so I made this topping that tastes like chocolate chip cookie batter to go on top and it's pretty delicious. Only the edges are crunchy. Don't ask me why.
Pizza is great. Everyone should go out and have some.
If I were trapped in a room full of Twinkies and chocolate donuts, I WOULD NOT SURVIVE.
Pretty much.

| Your Karaoke Theme Song is "Livin' On a Prayer" |
You believe the best things in life are mostly forgotten, and you're definitely more than a little nostalgic . You're likely to still like the same foods, fashions, and music as you did when you were a teenager. You have a knack for knowing what elements of pop culture people have missed, without them even realizing it. It's great to remember the past, but don't forget that not everyone is as stuck in it as you are. You might also sing: "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Rapper's Delight," and "Cherry Pie" Stay away from people who sing: "Toxic" |

Don't touch me, please move your buttcheek
I swear, that's actually a song.
Yeah. I scored some White Rabbits at the Oriental Store and they taste delicious. Pretty much.
All the school stuff went GREAT today. I kind of messed up on my speech, but I AM the worst speech maker in the world. But this group is working together really well. Almost too well... I had to lead the green group tour. All the parents thought I was rubbish. It's not my fault the vice principal took too long. Made me angry. But I got to wave a bright green flag and dance. And then Joanne and I were greeting people at the beginning and making up slogans. "Welcome to ________. We're even smarter than Rocky Balboa!" I made one kid stop so I could make up a slogan, but I was too slow.
GRRR someone messed up my papers when I was handing out schedules, so they WEREN'T in alphabetical order and I COULDN'T FIND ANYONE! My mom had to come over and help me. It was carazy. But my schedule is awesome. Well, for the most part. I don't have PE, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. I mean, I need to train for basketball and PE would definitely help that, but I don't have to wear gross PE clothes and get all sweaty. I'll just train with my dad. But they made me take office assistant for fifth period!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, they didn't MAKE ME, and they totally gave me the option, but what else was I going to take? I just get tired of sitting there with people I don't really know answering phones and being all blah. But I love taking notes. And I get to answer to Mr. Barry instead of the office manager, so ha ha ha.
I saw like everyone I knew. Only a couple people when I said hi acted like they didn't know me. It was like, "...." I thought we were friends... And we had been on speaking terms at the end of the school year. Paul cut his hair, hahahaha. Tyler called me short. Because I called him short. Yeah.
I AM short, I'm only 5'8"!!!!
Yeah. Everyone who said I was 5'9" is on crack. I have barely grown since last year and Ryne Sanborn is taller than me. Which is good...
Jessica and I could possibly have 5 classes. Amanda and I could possibly have 4 classes. YES!
I love my school picture. I look slightly butch. I have successfully completed another day dressed as a man. God forbid I should look even remotely female. But it looks really good. If I were a cliche (ha), I'd be the stupid girl in the movies that "doesn't care what anyone thinks". The "rebel" or the "artist" or whatever. My mom insulted my hair before I got my picture taken, tho. She was going to make me go home and brush it, but I was like, "Whatever," and messed it up worse. But the picture turned out nice. It was weird, cuz the photographer had me so I was like hunched over. Whaatever, you're the boss...
SO PUMPED FOR SCHOOL! And the Mardi Gras-ish poster we are making. YEAAAAAH!
I made a new poll. Check it out.

Towels imported from Turkey
And turkey imported from Maaaaaaaaine.
My dad seems very impressed by Ryan and Sharpay.
I have to admit, Lucas Grabeel has an amazing voice.
And Ashley's is great, and she can sort of act. More so than Vanessa or Monique.
RYNE SANBORN IS ONLY 18! That's younger than I thought.
Okay, here we have the old Jason. Young. Innocent. Kind of short, but still cute.

Behold. The new Jason.

Sort of obsessed.
His name is actually pronounced "rine". That's...cool.
Only he's into ice hockey...VERY into ice hockey. Dang it.
THE GIRL WHO PLAYS KELSEY IS OLDER THAN RYNE! AAAAAH!
But yeah. I'm obsessed.
Had some good pizza. Life is cheesy.

A very long post
I think that title pretty much says it all, since I want to blab incessantly about the wonderous things that have happened over the last three or four days and THE NEW J-14!!!
Lol. This issue is making me laugh.
Zac Efron: I like my women like I like my peanut butter - CHUNKY!!!!!"
Does that not strike you as creepy? I started rolling on the couch when I read that.
And why is he saying this? Because he keeps making a big deal about Nikki Blonsky when he's dating Vanessa Anne Hudgens... Maybe he only dates girls that he just made a movie with.
So he and Vanessa should be safe since HSM 2 is coming out soon.
Man, stupid blogthings only has 4 good quizzes.
Right. I don't wear sandals.
Alos, it appears Nick Jonas has beaten both of his brothers in terms of popularity. HA! Take that, Kevin! Fake emoness won't get you ANYWHERE! Nice try, Joe! Maybe if...actually, I don't know what's wrong with Joe. I just think he exudes unmanliness.
That's not exactly true. Sexual orientation is a tricky topic for me.
CAMP WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! The food was great. And we had cake for breakfast this morning. It was pretty SWEET. Well, cake and sausage patties. From the sack lunch I got, I only ate the cookie and the carrots. So my grandparents took me out for dinner. And now I have the house (and two microwave pizzas) all to myself. This doesn't seem right.
Campwise, I was on team Compassion, which was weird because I'm not the most compassionate person in the world. This coming from a Christian, I know. Maybe that was the point. To work on your worst trait.
But it was a pretty sweet group. We came up with some cool skits. Except for the second night. That skit, sorry guys, really sucked.
So now I actually have ideas for the coming school year, I hope I'm not a pushover president (I HATE BEING A PLEASER), and that the ASB will actually listen to me.
That's quite accurate, I think. Except for the chill person thing.
If chill means emotionally shut down.
Wth???? This is so mean!
Um, that's it. That wasn't actually very long. See y'all later.

Casual yet flirty You look great in a simple top and jeans Your look is approachable and cute! |

| You Are Not Prejudiced |
Not only are you color blind, but you're also ethnicity blind, gender blind, and sexual orientation blind. You don't judge someone until you truly know them. And even then, you're probably reluctant to judge. You try to treat everyone equally. Everyone has a fair chance with you. Good job - there's not a prejudiced bone in your body. |
That's not exactly true. Sexual orientation is a tricky topic for me.

| There's a Chance You Could Be Violent |
Overall, you're a pretty chill person - and you have a good handle on your emotions. Sometimes your anger gets the best of you, and end up regretting how you act. Try to curb your temper more often. It only has to get out of control once to do some damage. |
That's quite accurate, I think. Except for the chill person thing.
If chill means emotionally shut down.
Wth???? This is so mean!
| What Your Pizza Reveals |
Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either. [Er, right.] You consider pizza to be bread... very good bread. You fit in best in the Midwest part of the US. [Yes about the bread part, no about the Midwest. That worked for my dad, but I like living with civilization, thanks. SEE, that was a prejudiced statement.] You like food that's traditional and well crafted. You aren't impressed with "gourmet" foods. [Very true. The Pink Door in Seattle sucks.] You are generous, outgoing, and considerate with your choices. [??] You are unadventurous and boring. You should consider staying home when taking a vacation. [HEY! I am too adventerous!] The stereotype that best fits you is geek. You're the type most likely to order pizza to avoid leaving your computer. [I hate that this is TRUE!!] |
Um, that's it. That wasn't actually very long. See y'all later.

Werewolfeh.
I wonder if it's too late to drop out of going to Creation. All the odds are against me. I mean,
1. It's going to be HOT. Like WAY HOT. Not humid, according to my WA ST Hist text, but HOT.
2. There are only a few bands I like now. Either I've never heard of some or I've started hating others because they went all MAINSTREAM and crap. *cough cough* RELIENT K! *cough cough*
3. Nothing to do. Okay, I guess the whole point is just going to concerts, but what if I don't want to see Newsboys, Delirious?, etc.
4. Camping? Um, no.
5. It's nearing the full moon and my werewolfish tendencies are going to show, meaning I'll probably just bite everyone's head off, figuratively and literally.
6. Camping involves food-over-the-fire kind of stuff.
Looking at all this, I'd love to stay at my Grandma's. Or at home with Luke. Summer school sounds SO GREAT right now.
But no. I guess it's too late now.
Why do my parents always have to be right about everything???
Things My Parents Were Right About, Unfortunately
1. If I'm in a bad mood, I'm probably really hungry or tired. Forget PMS, you need food.
2. Teenagers shouldn't date until 16 because the emotions run too high before then.
3. Couples with a 1 year+ age difference are bad (I still disagree with this one, but there have been times where they have been right).
4. (This was when I wanted to go to Creation, back when all my favorite bands were cool): "You'll hate it, because it's so hot, and you have to get up early, and shower, and camp..."
So basically my parents are right about everything.
But not about nose rings.
I am totally getting one if I manage to weasel out of this.

She has eyeballs! It's a miracle!
So I got to poke Katie, Matt and Anita's new baby. She's very cute. She has very cute eyeballs. But she's also very frowny. Still, those eyeballs...
Hehehe, I'm beef.
I swear, "Lacrymosa" is like the most amazing song I've ever heard. I'm not really that into classical music, but I do like a good symphony now and then and "Lacrymosa" + guitar riffs + drums + Amy Lee = AMAZING. So pretty.
I like White Stripes now. I'm going to buy "Icky Thump" one of these days. But this month I need all my money for Harry Potter, and then next month it's "Miss Popularity" (you know it), and then maybe I'll buy "Icky Thump". But they played "Icky Thump" on the radio and I was like, "Wow." Jack White is amazing. Meg's okay, but she doesn't play guitar like that, yo.
| You Are Beef |
You're big, burly, and maybe even a little stinky. And no one's going to come between you and a good steak. And you've probably never met a vegetable you like, unless fries and ketchup count. |

Deli-sliced ham and a low fat cheese sauce wrapped in a crust
Yep, that's what I had for lunch. And I had lunch like 3 minutes ago. Mmmmm.. It was quite good, actually. Now, for the sake of losing weight/being health-concious, I'm eating an apple. It's bitter.
IT'S A GAME AND YOU'RE NOT THE WINNER!
You can't DENY yourself inside and when we go we say goodbye and then we run, we run AWAY.
My throat is all gross. First my dad, then William, now me.
I read a really dumb book this morning. Okay, not really dumb, but it definitely wasn't as fair as it wanted it to be.
So this girl (aspiring playwright named Kate) moves from New Jersey to Tennessee, where the school team is the Rebels and they fly a Confederate flag. So the lone black student (not, there's just a bunch of black people shoved into another corner of the universe in this book) decides to send this petition around that's anti-Confederacy, and all the white Southerners didn't want Confy to leave and they got mad.
And it was annoying cuz I wasn't really sure which side I was on. Because I'm pro-Union (or would've been), but there were a lot of great Confederate guys who were Christians and stuff, and it's not like all Southerners are bad, seeing as I'm in love with Georgia, and it doesn't have to stand for slavery, and it's kind of their heritage, but then all the blacks and liberals were all, "It's racist," and if they were REALLY offended by it (the blacks, though, it's kind of none of the liberal's business), shouldn't that mean something?
Yeah, so I was all confused, but it did make me mad because they show the white Southerners at their worst (there was this guy who was in the KKK who believed whites were the actual chosen ones, which reflected badly on Christians and whites in general), but they didn't really show the other side at their worst. I guess the worst was Nikki's (the one who started the whole ordeal) twin brother Luke, who set fire to the Confederate flag, but I don't know, I feel like it was biased.
And then the whole epic love between Kate and Jack was SO ANNOYING. I mean, I guess there's too many dark-haired "hotties" in books these days (as male love interests), and I do have a weird problem with blondes, but Jack was all Troy Bolton from High School Musical. "I want to be an actor, but I could never tell my mother. She wants me to marry Sarah Fife and go to the Academy." And he tells Kate, "I really love you. I'm not just saying it." And she pulled some Anakin-crap, like, "I don't want you to love me! When you're away from me, I can't breathe! I need to be with you!"
The last part, where she has Nikki and Jack be the only two people in this play she's written, was really sad. It was just a bunch of monologues from both sides of the issue, and it was weird, because her sister had just been shot at a football game gone awry, and they made out like she was dead for a long while. It confoozed me.
Now I'm reading "Freshman", and it's pretty funny, but it took me a while to get through 26 or so pages, so I don't know how I'll finish that, the first "Maximum Ride" book, and "House of the Scorpion" without reading and refusing meals or bathroom breaks all day.
Oh wells.
It was SWEET, we played football last night, and I made a touchdown. Andrew is crazy fast. Sucks that he's leaving tomorrow. I saw him for like 2 hours and then he was gone. Going back to Asia. But there were people I had no idea had such skillz. Dang, Jeannie.

Yeah, so I was all confused, but it did make me mad because they show the white Southerners at their worst (there was this guy who was in the KKK who believed whites were the actual chosen ones, which reflected badly on Christians and whites in general), but they didn't really show the other side at their worst. I guess the worst was Nikki's (the one who started the whole ordeal) twin brother Luke, who set fire to the Confederate flag, but I don't know, I feel like it was biased.
And then the whole epic love between Kate and Jack was SO ANNOYING. I mean, I guess there's too many dark-haired "hotties" in books these days (as male love interests), and I do have a weird problem with blondes, but Jack was all Troy Bolton from High School Musical. "I want to be an actor, but I could never tell my mother. She wants me to marry Sarah Fife and go to the Academy." And he tells Kate, "I really love you. I'm not just saying it." And she pulled some Anakin-crap, like, "I don't want you to love me! When you're away from me, I can't breathe! I need to be with you!"
The last part, where she has Nikki and Jack be the only two people in this play she's written, was really sad. It was just a bunch of monologues from both sides of the issue, and it was weird, because her sister had just been shot at a football game gone awry, and they made out like she was dead for a long while. It confoozed me.
Now I'm reading "Freshman", and it's pretty funny, but it took me a while to get through 26 or so pages, so I don't know how I'll finish that, the first "Maximum Ride" book, and "House of the Scorpion" without reading and refusing meals or bathroom breaks all day.
Oh wells.
It was SWEET, we played football last night, and I made a touchdown. Andrew is crazy fast. Sucks that he's leaving tomorrow. I saw him for like 2 hours and then he was gone. Going back to Asia. But there were people I had no idea had such skillz. Dang, Jeannie.

Should my finger still be bleeding?
So everyone ate my cheesecake and said it was amazing. I have to agree, not to brag, but it was a step up from my last one. It wasn't as chocolatey because I didn't use any cocoa and I had to half the recipe anyways and the chocolate was different, but it was creamy because I used a mixer and the dry parts tasted right.
Only I cut my finger on the sharp serving night (whilst cutting through the pie pan) and it starting bleeding, and I tried to stop it, but it bled through a tissue, so I used my favorite water proof band aids. And there's a big visible stain and I'm scared that I'll get a hemorrhage or something.
NOOOO!
It's pulsating. My finger.
My bad, "Guitar Highway Rose" takes place in Australia. I knew that, but I automatically said British because I've been reading so many British things lately and England and Australia are pretty much the same country/continent. Only Brits are all snobby and have bad teeth and Australians love nature and Aborigines.
I MADE A NEW QUIZ! It's about everyone having their insane license revoked. TAKE IT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
I need to retake some of my own quizzes like I do every so often. I never finished that HSM story...
Oh well.
I need to edit it so you can see all the results, though. I do that with all my quizzes and I don't know why I didn't do it this time...
It's already been taken 15 times and picked once? That's not good, but hey, that's better than I normally do.
I wonder what it would take to get like 800 hits in less than one day. Because my most popular Sky High quiz has only been taken around 600 times.
nightgirl521 rules!
I reread part 2 of "Kisses In the Moonlight" because I wanted to read the part where he's all shirtless and laugh, and I read the memo and I thought the author was complaining about people that hated her writing and called her pathetic and I so thought it was aimed at me.
Oops.
But it wasn't. And it wasn't even about that.
I want combat boots. And Vans. And Walker's Vans.
Agh, that LOTR quiz was horrible.
So Nathan graduated tonight. w00t w00t! And he got some award. And everyone was all surprised. But I wasn't. I mean, he's senior class prez, Homecoming King, and really smart; WHY IS THIS SURPRISING?????
Are...you....READY???? *do do do do do do do*
Man, I got Harry. AGAIN.
Jessie is fast. She should've done track. Or maybe I'm just horribly slow.

Lost...in a polka dotted tanktop
I just finished "48 Shades of Brown", a very good book about some Australian guy who goes to live with his 22-year-old bass playing act and her roommate Naomi rather than go to boarding school or move to Geneva with his parents. And then he gets a crush on Naomi (who was only 19???? I didn't figure this out till earlier on and I was like, "What, isn't this illegal?" Actually, I guess it still is, because she's 19 and he's 17). And a whole bunch of stuff happens, including a raunchy university party, learning all 48 shades of brown (for birds), and a phonetic alphabet.
I didn't really know how I felt about it when it ended, because I thought he would end up with Naomi, but he didn't, and he decided to pursue someone that I didn't think was worth his time, and I thought that was stupid. But it was a really well written book, because Dan (main character) was really funny and introspective, and I liked the way it was written (NO QUOTATION MARKS!!!). So it was good, but I didn't really get the ending.
But that's just me.
Raaah.
I LOVE SHAPES MACARONI!
Seriously, I hate stupid Kraft macaroni and cheese: THE CHEESIEST! Because it's not cheesy at all and it tastes horrible, especially when you add to much milk. Spirals is better, but shapes are fantasmagorical (Inigo: That word...I do not think it means what you think it means.) and taste delicious. I think it's because they hold more cheese. Last week I had two boxes of Shrek and tonight I made Spongebobs.
How come all the good stuff they never sell in bulk?
Oh, the simple pleasures of life...
Wow, I've never thought of Harry Potter's death so comically before.
Hey, someone just referenced "Of All the Gin Joints In the World" in their quiz! 'I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive, now I only waste it dreaming of him. Have you ever felt this way?'
I SWEAR, THOSE ARE LIKE EXACT LYRICS! Except for the last part. And trade "him" for "you".
MARIE IS COMING TONIGHT! I'm making a cheesecake for graduation.
7 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT! ONE MORE FINAL! THEN FRIVOLOUS FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
"Next Best Thing" AND "Last Comic Standing" are on tonight. Oh what fun! What joyous splendor! 3 hours to waste to "quality television".
I'm reading ANOTHER British book. I've read A LOT of British books lately. "48 Shades of Brown" doesn't count, though, that took place in Australia.
"Love Is A Many Trousered Thing" has come out and I don't have it yet. Curses.

Yay, I'm tasty!
| You Are Chocolate Chip Ice Cream |
You are kind, popular, and generous. You tend to be successful at anything you try. A social butterfly, you are great at entertaining a crowd. You are most compatible with strawberry ice cream. |
It's a step up from coffee. XP.
Gwen Stefani is my celebrity style twin? Hm. That's cool, I guess. She's pretty and I like her stuff. I probably wouldn't wear half of what she wears, tho. Eh? I highly doubt that's a picture of her.
| Your Celebrity Style Twin is Gwen Stefani |
Trendsetting, unique, and stylish. |
Can it really predict my birthdorder? Hm...
I recently REALLY started hating being the middle child. Scratch that. I've always hated it. But it seems worse than usual. Probably because Nathan acknowledged every bad thing I thought about middle childom was true and then went on to say how awesome being oldest was. And then he excused all annoying younger child behaviors, but got on my back for my "behaviors".
My family is full of hypocrites.
...that are also sexist.
They must be.
I wouldn't even care about this if it weren't affecting my future.
Affecting...effecting...I can't remember the difference.
Wha???
| You Are Likely an Only Child |
At your darkest moments, you feel frustrated. At work and school, you do best when you're organizing. When you love someone, you tend to worry about them. In friendship, you are emotional and sympathetic. Your ideal careers are: radio announcer, finance, teaching, ministry, and management. You will leave your mark on the world with organizational leadership, maybe as the author of self-help books. |
I'm going to Georgia. When I am 18, I am going to Georgia, eating donuts, keeping my last name forever unless I marry someone with an L-last name (preferrably Lemon, but God knows that's never going to happen), and becoming a writer with NO college education and NO ONE CAN STOP ME!

I know, I know, I'm an obsessed loser/freak.
| What Your Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich Means |
Your eating style is reserved. You are a bit of a fussy eater, and you have very specific ways you like your food prepared. You have a total sweet tooth. When you can get away with it, you like to have dessert before dinner! Your taste in food tends to be conservative and traditional. It's likely that you prefer "All American" favorites like mac and cheese or hamburgers. Admit it, you're a little trashy and low class at times. You're definitely more comfortable at a tattoo parlor than the theater. You are a tough person who isn't afraid to live life fully. There isn't a lot that scares you. You are a pretty easy person to please, but you do have your own little personal quirks. You're far from neurotic, but you can be a little picky at times. |
I don't like jelly, but I thought this was VERY accurate. Not sure about the trashy part, though.
| Your Hair Should Be Orange |
Expressive, deep, and one of a kind. You pull off "weird" well - hardly anyone notices. |
The description was right, but I wouldn't die my hair orange.
I don't know if I've posted this quiz before or not, but I am curious to see which superhero I am... Last time I got Electra. :P
NO WAY!
| You Are Batman |
Billionaire playboy by day. Saving the world by night. And you're not even a true superhero. Just someone with a lot of expensive toys! |
w00t!!
Next, cities, then muppets.
What city should I live in...?
Oh. XP
| You Belong in Rome |
You're a big city soul with a small town heart Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand And gorgeous Italian people - could life get any better? |
Sure, Italians start out gorgeous, but do they STAY that way?
Wow, that was a harsh biased statement.
Seeing as no one stays hot all the days of their life.
*cough cough* DOLLY PARTON! *cough*
Hmmmm. I think I might be Fozzie. Or Kermit. NOT ROLF, NO! PLEASE NOT HIM!
FOZZIE!!!!!!!
| You Are Fozzie Bear |
"Wocka! Wocka!" You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up. If only your routine didn't always bomb! You may find more groans than laughs, but always keep the jokes coming. |
Could I pass 8th grade? Then one more on American cities...
PSYCHE, I have to do the star wars one, too.
Oh, my bad, that was a Spanish quiz. And I don't speak Spanish.
Uh oh, I might have to censor the results for this. Privacy protection, is all.
| Your Star Wars Name And Title |
Your Star Wars Name: Laule Swsea Your Star Wars Title: Yelban of Dad |
Or not. That was dumb. Man, so many to choose from. Including donuts and cookies. AND ALIENS!
I wonder if I HAVE been abducted by aliens.
I haven't.
| There's a 28% Chance You've Been Abducted By Aliens |
Even though you have a few alien abduction signs, you're almost certainly in the clear. However, if aliens ever do come to your neck of the woods... they'll probably be coming for you! |
Hm, cake, then donuts, then cookies. Then pie. And then I'm done. No more that even look kind of interesting...
| You Are a Chocolate Cake |
Fun, comforting, and friendly. You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality. People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you. |
Donuts next.
Ew, cream. Not in MY donut!
Man, I didn't go to church tonight.
AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
| You Are a Glazed Donut |
Okay, you know that you're plain - and you're cool with that. You prefer not to let anything distract from your sweetness. Your appeal is understated yet universal. Everyone dig you. And in a pinch, you'll probably get eaten. |
CURSES! I HATE YOU!!!!1 I HATE BEING GLAZED!
I hope I am a sugar cookie.
DANGIT!
| You Are a Chocolate Chip Cookie |
Traditional and conservative, most people find you comforting. You're friendly and easy to get to know. This makes you very popular - without even trying! |
Last one...
Drumroll, please...
Hey, I hate pumpkin pie!
| You Are Pumpkin Pie |
You're the perfect combo of uniqueness and quality Those who like you are looking for something (someone!) special |
