Right-o.  Parents and sibling are out, I'm done with my homework, and there's nothing to do... so what do I do?  Pop some corn and sit at the computer to do lots and lots of internet personality quizzes.  How do you like dem apples?

Congratulations - you got 7 out of 10 correct!
Your Brain's Pattern
You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy.
You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts.
People may say you're hard to read, but that's because you're so internally focused.

On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.

You Are 23% Addicted to Blogthings
Okay, so you know how to take and post a Blogthing.

At least, that's what you tell yourself!

Your General Knowledge is Exceptional
Yeah, not really sure what is up with that logical thinking score... but whatev...

From your social causes to cute pet photos, your life is a (mostly) open book.

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.

They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.

It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.

They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.
This is just wrong... it has to be wrong... it's wrong, right?  I mean, I don't know how everyone else sees me, but I sure hope I don't send out negative vibes like that.  Plus, I KNOW I'm spontaneous.  Whoever wrote this quiz was wacko.

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.
Your Inner Child Is Scared
Like a kid, you tend to shy away from new experiences.
You prefer what's tried and true - novelty is scary!
New foods, new places, and new friends are difficult for you to deal with.
Some say you're predictable, but you enjoy being comfortable.

You would agree with the idea that everybody has his price...
And in your own case it would not be high.

You are ruled by an inferiority complex and not easy to assess.

An idealist, a moralist, a conformist keeping up with the Joneses?
Once again: SUCH CRAP !!!
You Are 70% Boyish and 30% Girlish
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them.
You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be.
Pretty good, except for the gender roles thing... I like those...

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.

You tend to give more than take in relationships.

You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time.

You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.

You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.
You Are a Chick Rocker!
You're living proof that chicks can rock
You're inspired by Joan Jett and the Donnas
And when you rock, you rock hard
(Plus, you get all the cute guy groupies you want!)

The Best of the Nylons

Right, I'm in school right now, getting ready to do a report on George Lucas.  Fun, fun, fun.  I'm like the only one in here that is actually taking notes.  It'll be good, though.  Just gotta do it.  Gotta go.

Not listening to anything
Music is dumb
I don't have time for it
Unless I'm singing it myself

It's been far too long.

So, since I last posted, what has happened, you ask?  Well, let's see... got hauled along to bring my big bro to New York... dumb college kids... gave up on the movie... or did I mention that already?... Started Drama... Student Council... SADD... DECA... Choir... FBLA... and I probably forgot some other club... oh, yeah, Spanish Club... um, did I forget to mention school?  Oops ...

Anyway, not much out of the ordinary happening on the homefront... just regular over-achiever stuff, I guess.  Sold like twelve Bucky Books and Entertainment Books (DECA and Choir respectively) for fundraisers.  I got a lead part in the Fall Play.  We're doing Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors.  There's a slight chance of me skipping Spanish III, which if I don't will be a waste of 45 minutes every day for the entire school year.

AP US History is hard.  Fun, but hard... well, maybe not hard... how about, time-consuming... and challenging.  Hard is a word for a class I don't want to take but have to.

Anyway, 'tis 10:05, gotta go...  good luck on life, everybody.

P.S. Aaron, to quote my play:

"Many a man hath more hair than wit."
But this is not hard for a man with hair
That measures quite as long as yours doth grow.

P.P.S  That's right... liking the iambic pentameter.  The rhyming needs a bit o'work, but whatev.

Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)
By Michael J. Fox
see related
Well, it certainly has been a while, hasn't it?  I hope you all haven't missed me too much.

I've been a bit busy over the past... um... three months... yeah...

Lame excuse, I know, but... whatever.

Anyway, I'm back now and that's what counts, anyway.

So, for the past two weeks I've been at my own house for less than eighty hours.  I've slept in my own bed three times since July 17.

I spent six days (five nights) at WASC Leadership Camp Level III on the UW Green Bay campus.  It was a blast.  I learned tons of new things, and met tons of cool people.  Some of whom may be reading this and thinking 'gee, does he really like us that much?'.  I assure you, I do.

Right, so after that I came home and spent two blissful days unpacking.  And re-packing.  Because immediately thereafter my family (excluding my no-account college-student brother) left to go camping in Perrot State Park, along the Mississippi River in Trempeleau County.  It was... um... great... yeah... really... right...

Actually, it wasn't horrible, per se.  It's just that after a week away from home, the last thing I needed was to have my contact with the outside violently severed for another eight days.  But, whatever.  I got back yesterday, and everything is getting back to normal-esque.  That is, normal for my family.  Which isn't normal at all.

Hey, but on the multiple multi-hour drives for various day trips during last week, I got to watch the entire Back to the Future Trilogy on our portable DVD player.

That made me feel special.

Also, for anyone that didn't know, I stopped the production of ARIZONA SMITH (my movie).  There wasn't enough interest in the involved parties to continue.

                But, that's an old story.  Until next time:

                               Lucas
