After reading Kelly's Blog and seeing that the neurotic test worked so well for her (sorry Kel, it really does describe you to a T), I decided to take it as well. See below:

Your Score: The Geek
You scored 20 anxiety, 57 awkwardness, and 52 neuroticism!


You stick out like a sore thumb, with your social awkwardness and mildly neurotic behaviors--but you don't let it get you down! You are The Geek, and are here to prove that people who know the first 1000 digits of pi and try to woo dates by talking about calculators can be happy too! You have friends...and they are probably just as odd as you.

Your low anxiety score implies that you are able to relax, can enjoy the here and now, and have a healthy amount of self-confidence.

Your high awkwardness score implies that you are socially inept, probably stick out from the crowd, and perhaps feel uncomfortable in large groups of people, such as at parties. Your high neuroticism score implies that you exhibit neurotic behaviors--probably fanatic obsessions, counting compulsions, or other geekish tendencies. You may know every word to LOTR, or draw anime of all your friends.


I totally disagree! I may be a geek, and I may be engaged through the love of nitric oxide, but I don't have counting compulsions or anything crazy like that....And I only stick out like a sore thumb because I'm tall. Well, at least that's what I think...

Thoughts?

Fresh Vegetables

I have to say, I really enjoy this time of year. The last few weeks we've been getting fresh vegetables and fruits from various local and/or organic sources, and have mostly eaten fresh whole foods everyday. I highly reccommend the Pepper Place Farmer's market for anyone in the area that wants some local veggies.

Wedding Bands

Went shopping for Wedding Bands last night. I had no idea that the price of Platinum can increase so much! The lady at the jewlery store we went to said that it's up to $2000/oz. currently. That makes for some expensive rings! Anne's engagement ring is platinum, and the same setting at the place I bought it is now nearly double the price! So I checked out the year-long price history for platinum, and it's gone through the roof lately. Who knew?? Stupid housing market....I think it's affecting even this.
