You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Anybody here?

No.

Also, you're going from creepy basement Bob to careful muppet Bob? I presume that's an improvement.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think the subtraction of creepy is always a good. Whether careful muppets cause their own issues is up to question.

Also, it will be nice not to have screaming-at-each-other-in-Portuguese neighbors on one side, and idiot college boys who party at 2am on the other side.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Late start to the day. I did manage to get out and make it to Home Depot & there I got the pipe fitting I needed to reconnect my kitchen sink, and a new light fixture for my dining room (which meant a new non-dimmer light switch). I was able to do the sink fix with only a little difficulty, but I was thwarted in my attempt to change out the wall switch - it won't turn on now and I've rechecked the wires three times. Looks like I will be returning the combo light switch/outlet and getting a straight light switch. BASTARDS! It makes me want to scream EAT IT BOB VILLA! which really makes no sense.

Anyhoo, with the sink re-connected I was able to run the dishwasher and that makes me happy.

OMG the frat boy neighbors are singing along to something susiciously Tom-Jones-like. At volume = 11.

How glad am I to be outta here?

Loner 56%

Goth 50%

Drama nerd 50%

Punk/Rebel 44%

Stoner 19%

Ghetto gangsta 6%

Prep/Jock/Cheerleader 0%

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Drama nerd 50%

Loner 44% Geek 38%

Goth 25%

Prep/Jock/Cheerleader 19%

Ghetto gangsta 19%

Stoner 13%

Punk/Rebel 13%

The top three work, after that it kind of breaks down. I don't recall us having any Goths in Highschool. I'd never even heard of Goths until I started playing White Wolf RPGs my senior year. But 95% of my friends where in theatre and I worked tech crew, so Drama Nerd is pretty much spot on.

For our school, the Jocks and Preps were at the top of the popularity scale, with the Drama folks near the bottom. Which was a real wake up call for a friend of mine who transfered in her junior year. At her previous school the Theatre folks were top rung, oddly enough, and no one really cared much about sports.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Heh. I was 69% drama nerd.

Which I really wasn't, but there wasn't a category for "journalism nerd" in their stereotype list.

Punk/Rebel was second. You know, there is a difference between disliking authority and being a punk. See "journalism nerd" above.

Hey, that's a cool test. I didn't know I had any Goth in me (way) back then.

At last night's poker tournament, I made 2nd. in the first round and 4th. in the second. It's raining cats and dogs outside (monsoon season). And I kind of really would like to see 'March of the Penguins'.

How is everybody else 'round here?
