About me:



.. ..

Below are a smattering of quizzes that attempt to sum me up using pop culture analogies and social constructs. A box you say? Sure, I'd love one!

Your Element Is Air
You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly. Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful. You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person. With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence
You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well. An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly. You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view. A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary. You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.

You Have A Type A- Personality
You are one of the most balanced people around
Motivated and focused, you are good at getting what you want
You rule at success, but success doesn't rule you.

When it's playtime, you really know how to kick back
Whether it's hanging out with friends or doing something you love!
You live life to the fullest - encorporating the best of both worlds

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

Your Brain is 80.00% Female, 20.00% Male
Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

Chad, you are Balanced-brained

That means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain, depending upon a given situation.

When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might take over.

While many people have clearly dominant left- or right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible thinker.

The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways.

Take the quiz: "Are you a right brain thinker or a left brain?"

Who I'd like to meet:

you and the man who said, "No tree has branches so foolish as to fight among themselves."

    Haha! We DO all look ridiculous. We also look like we're having a wonderful time. That's what I see in that picture, really.


    I didn't go to the ENT... or rather, the appointment wasn't for me. It was for Danny, the boyfriend. Gimme a call when/if you get a chance and I'll explain. Rather not get too personal in such a public forum.

    Meh. We all look a little retarded; it's part of taking a photo that's an homage to "The Last Supper" after drinking margaritas.
    How can one not look mildly ridiculous while being both tipsy and high-brow?

    Awwww! I am SO proud of you! I remember how excited you were when you got hired! I am happy beyond measure!...and bitterly jealous at the same time! HEY!

    JK! I'm no hater!...but if you suddenly begin experiencing odd pains and tingling sensations, well, it's not the Chad-voodoo-doll I have of you. Really. It's not.


    Congratulations on your 1 year! Hope you can go out and celebrate - every milestone is something to recognize.
