Awesome, Scola. Also, awesome Scola.

Lisah, sending love and healing vibes your and your dad and family's way. That is a very scary and apt description. I'm so sorry this is happening.

Also on the JZ love train.

Meara, I hope it's a no news is good news scenario... though I understand the worry.

How's new home, Scrappy?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Scola, that makes sense. And thanks, though I'm planning on waiting till things firm up a bit before talking about it because everything is stressful omg and I just cannot even with dealing with all the people.

lisah, I hope that he can get out of his loop.

I got 93% Ender Wiggin, 92% Ariadne from Inception (whose character traits I basically remember not at all), 91% Michale Scofield (Prison Break) (???), and then my 90%s: Hermione, Gandalf, Daniel Jackson (Sam Carter comes in at 89. Are they basically the same character?), and Jemma Simmons. I am also equally Remus Lupin and Elizabeth Bennet (87%) and just slightly more Jean-Luc Picard (88%). So, there's that. I would take it again to see about how the questions they sample influence the results, but that is a rabbit hole I do not need.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don’t think I can accurately assess myself to do that quiz.

lisah, ~ma for your father.

Our wings are not tired.

Lisah, sending positive vibes for a resolution soon for your dad. How scary and frustrating. Good that there was no stroke!

Tom. I hope it is a positive experience for you. Good job taking that step!

I found that pretty challenging, sj, and doubt I did a good job of it. But my results seem reasonable anyhow.

I used pretty random percentages, but the results made sense.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Weirdly, I found the slider to be less fraught than the binary choices. Yes, you can/have to be more precise, but being able to answer "mostly" and "kinda" (only with numbers) was nice.

Art Crawl!!!

I tried the quiz: it asked me questions about er. I haven’t seen that show since it went off the air. My top match was Raj from The Big Bang Theory plus lots of TVs characters I didn’t recognize.

Gus - your daughter & new son-in-law make an adorable couple & seem so happy.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

So much ~ma for your dad, lisah.

I don't know who Twilight Sparkle is; rather than google it, I choose to believe Jessica is bragging about being 81% My little Pony.

I haven't tried this quiz. Clearly, I need to go back for the link and give it a go.

I'm glad you signed up for the class, Tom. I hope you get so much out of it!

ION: In addition to the guy named Tino that we hired a couple of months ago, we've got vendors on site and one of them is named Tino as well - send help!

I like the sliders! It's deciding what the answer should be AT ALL that's hard. Like artistic vs scientific - I don't know?

I hope your all Tinos are not full on archetypical Tinos and just share the name, Epic
