Hey, don’t look so surprised.
I’m going to take a break from my blog. It will probably be a few days, maybe a couple of weeks. I’ll still be reading yours.
I’ll have a couple of articles to write soon, and there are books upon books waiting to be read. There’s mail to be delivered too, I’m going to be trained next week on one of the two routes I don’t yet know. They’re only giving me one day of training, which is ridiculous. Anyway, lots of stuff going on.
Plus, I feel like not blogging for a bit.
Okay then. I’ll be back, eventually.
…meaning of course, that having finished my mail route for today, I’m now writing a blog entry.
Gwynne has a meme. I needed something to stick on my blog. Perfect.
Have you ever…
( ) Smoked a cigarette – Nope, and never will.
(X) Drank so much you threw up – Drank what? I once drank a full cup of anbesol or something, and threw up.
(X) Had feelings for someone who didn’t have them back – Uh, yep.
( ) Been arrested – Never arrested.
(?) Gone on a blind date – Not technically, but a friend of mine fixed me up for my senior prom with someone I didin’t know. We actually did meet before prom night, so it doesn’t really count as a blind date.l
(X) Skipped school – Many skipped classes in college. In the earlier grades, only once. It was senior skip day at the end of my high school career. I went with friends up to Swartswood state park in New Jersey.
( ) Seen someone die – No, but veteran readers might remember Lillian. Lillian passed moments after I prayed for her and left the house where she lay on her death bed. And I mean moments, I was pulling away from the curb and Lillian’s famiy was running for the door to call after me. Talk about being freaked out.
(X) Been to Canada – A few times.
(X) Been to Florida – A few times.
( ) Been to Mexico – Nope but I was right across the river.
(X) Been on a plane – Oh yes, but not in the last four years.
() Been lost – Not seriously lost, just as a kid in the grocery store and stuff.
(X) Gone to Washington, DC – Yes, lots and lots.
( ) Gone skinny dipping – Nope.
( ) Felt like dying – Nah.
(X) Cried yourself to sleep – Couple of times.
(X) Played cops and robbers – Of course!
(?) Recently colored with crayons – Well, I wrote a note to somebody in crayon just two weeks ago. Does that count?
( ) Sang karaoke – No. This is not something I have any interest in whatsoever.
( ) Paid for a meal with only coins – Hot dogs at the fair, baby!
(X) Done something you told yourself you wouldn’t – Yes. That’s all I’m saying.
(X) Made prank phone calls – The person I called figured out who I was. That was the first and last time.
(X) Laughed until some kind of beverage came out of your nose – Only a few times, but I’m quite good at getting others to do this. I almost had Gwynne when we met for lunch last summer.
(X) Laughed until liquid came out the other end – No! And anyway, I wouldn’t tell you if I had.
(X) Caught a snowflake on your tongue – yes.
( ) Gotten out of a speeding ticket – Never. Not one single time!
( ) Danced in the rain – Does it count if it was raining outside but I was inside?
(X) Written a letter to Santa Claus – No, but I left a few notes for him on Christmas Eves long ago. One time my dad suggested that maybe Santa would like a beer and some pretzels instead of milk and cookies. That time, we did get a note back from Santa.
( ) Been kissed under the mistletoe – Yes, yes, yes. She was cute too.
(X) Watched the sun rise with someone you care about – Plenty of times.
(X) Blown bubbles – Not with my spit! That’s just gross.
( ) Made a bonfire on the beach – No.
( ) Crashed a party – No, but I think Gwynne may have crashed a couple of mine. 😉
(X) Gone roller-skating – yes, and can I tell you how very much I hated it?
(X) Ice-skating – Yes but not in a long, long time.
(X) Swam in the ocean – Is the Pope German? Seriously, you don’t grow up in New Jersey and not swim in the ocean. In fact, I’ve swam in the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Caribbean (though that’s not really an Ocean) and the Gulf of Mexico (also not an ocean). I also dipped my feet in the Atlantic on the other side, off the coast of France.
I have eyes full of pain. There’s a shock.
You scored as Eyes full of Pain. People tend to overlook you, which makes you feel less worthy of their attentions. You sometimes wish you could just disapear from the world around you. You have been hurt very badly in the past and you just wish that someone would understand you, and what their cruelty is doing to you.

What do your eyes reveal about you?(PICS!)

I do tend to get overlooked and have been hurt very badly in the past but I’m not looking for an invisibility cloak and I’ve learned to be content and misunderstood at the same time; it’s sort of like walking and chewing gum.
H/T to Jay, from Dispatches From Blogblivion who already picked the title I would have used.
Kato shoots straight for my heart with a mathematical geeky-birthday-color meme. Check it:
Follow the instructions below. Make sure to always round to the nearest whole number. And you do know that google functions perfectly fine as a calculator, right? Just type the equation in and hit enter.
[RED]Take your birth month, subtract 1 and multiply 23.18 (for me… 1-1=0 X 23.18 = 0)
[GREEN]Take the day of the month you were born, subtract 1, multiply by 8.5 (19-1=18 X 8.5=153)
[BLUE]Take the last two digits of the year and multpily by 2.57 (65 X 2.57=167)
Use this color calculator to input the [RED], [GREEN], and [BLUE] numbers. (For me: 0,153,167)
I come up with the color of, what else, a spirit-lifting serotonin rain:

Thanks Frank.
Almost every table at Panera is empty, so of course he has to take the one next to me. I’m in a corner near the windows with open seating from here to the fireplace, thirty feet away.
He’s wearing a blue and black camo do-rag and a heavy winter coat. His face, beneath the four days’ growth, and hands are tatooed, some of his fingernails black from long ago bruises. Entanglements with other people, or perhaps machines? He smells, I can tell before he gets here. When he sits, not three feet from me, the cloud descends like a blanket. Body odor and alcohol.
He mumbles off and on to himself or to some unseen other, and spits every now and again into his napkin. Just now I notice his blinking, which is constant enough that he must spend half his waking hours with eyes closed, one moment at a time.
And I’m thinking, “Why does he have to sit near me?”
And a voice in my head, or maybe my heart, says, “Why not you?”
A good question. One for which I’m afraid I have no answer.
I just don’t feel like posting anything right now. Does that make me a bad person?
This is more accurate than I care to admit, especially the part about the connections of the universe. I’m all about that!

You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you’re flakier than you actually are. |
Thanks to Frank Wilson.
That may not be the right word… but I do know the Bible quite well according to this quiz:
You know the Bible 100%!
Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses – you know it all! You are fantastic!
I am a true Biblical scholar. Will, who I stole this from, says it was too easy, but I think there were one or two semi-tricky questions in there. Try it yourself and see.
