Hah hah, "Birthday" came on and it is George's birthday. Don't you think the guitar rocks on this song?

Because I feel I've been mildly productive by researching publishers and submission guidelines, I think I'll do something totally pointless like fill out the survey yavanna2006 did that is really not a particularly interesting survey at all (although I DID somehow learn some interesting things about Carrie from her answers, such as the fact that "Carrie" isn't actually her full name) but it's still a survey and I need to do some typing that is mindless, so here:

[Name] My full name, on the other hand, is known already by anyone who needs to know it
[Nicknames] because as far as I know I don't have any nicknames
[Screen name] rockinlibrarian, forever, because even though it is long, it is the only good way to sum me up
[Birthday] March 31 1978
[Age] Um, can't you do math?
[Astrological sign] Um, don't you know your zodiac calendar? Anyway, though, the calendar SAYS I'm an aries, but I certainly have my doubts. I MARRIED an aries though. But the calendar says HE'S a LIBRA. Um... no.
[Chinese zodiac sign] Horse. This one is also not very fitting. But it does say that my husband and I are compatible, as does the monthly zodiac, so apparently this works? Actually, according to a thingy I filled out once where you put in birthdays and see how compatible you are according to the stars, we will "Have a completely happy, long marriage except that you will absolutely always have money problems." Wow. Those stars sure can call it, can't they?
[Location] The "Office," which is the smallest "Bedroom" of our three-bedroom house.
[Marital Status] married, thanks
[Religion] Catholic. Specifically a bit of a "cafeteria catholic" and proud of it whatever poor Fr. Robin thinks on the subject.
[Nieces/Nephews] none
[Kids of your own] none yet... ask me again next year, maybe?
[Grandkids] Yes, grandkids are quite nice, aren't they?
[Pets?] besides Jason?
[In school/graduated] I am a Master of Library and Information Science. Anyone want to hire me?
[Rent, lease, or own your home] own. If that's what you call it when over a quarter of your household's total income goes to making sure they don't take your house back.
[What do you do for work] Children's Museum of Pittsburgh
[How much do you make] $7 an hour (because I've been there awhile)
[Have any credit cards] yes. Oh dang... the monthly payment was due today. Be right back.
[What do you drive] Toyota Corolla with, as of today, brand new wiper blades! I bought the wiper blades when I went out on Wednesday, but didn't have time to put them on then. So while we were out getting my glasses and J's car, I decided to put them on, and discovered that one of them was the wrong size. So I took it back to exchange it, apologizing that I must have read the little catalog machine thing wrong, but the guy looked it up and that size was what it said, so, apparently, it was their CATALOG that was wrong, not me, so, like, go me and stuff.

Favorites
[Color] blue
[Number] 11 (never mind old Bongi. You remember Bongi and 11?)
[Animal] hmmm... apes, turtles, ducks, bears... and dogs that aren't Nike
[Vehicle] boats. Any kind of boat.
[Flower] ah... so many. I guess lilacs
[Scent] lilac
[Shape] ship
[Drinks] milk
[Soda] root beer. And raspberry ginger ale.
[Book] A Wrinkle in Time
[Band] Do I need to frickin' tell you people this. Well, I will just point out that it is their lead guitarist's birthday today.
[Song] A really pretty little PERFECT happy song written by the aforementioned birthday boy. 63-year-old and dead boy. But boy nonetheless.

Do you...
[Color your hair] no
[Twirl your hair] regularly. I suppose you mean as a nervous habit, not as some crazy newfangled styling method I don't actually know about.
[Have tattoos] no
[Piercings? ] not that either
[Have a boyfriend/girlfriend/both] Both. No seriously, I have this guy who lives with me and has the same last name as me, and you know what, I think it might have been his last name first?
[Cheat on tests/homework? ] Because I do so much of this. Anyway, not that I recall.
[Have a crush] Several. They are all quite silly though and I don't really ponder them except when actually seeing hearing or discussing the people in question, whom I also don't actually know personally. Oh, and for some reason I also find myself curiously attracted to that guy I live with.
[Drink/Smoke] Okay, "Drink" is just a stupid question written by underaged people. I mean unless you mean "inbibing liquids," in which case it's an even sillier question. But seriously, do I drink alcohol, is what they're asking? Sure, I'll have a wine cooler or fuzzy navel or certainly a mudslide if it's offered, but it's not something I seek out as like "oooh, I love to drink alcohol! I love to party and drink LOTS of alcohol! I can't relax without a beer!" (actually, I can't relax WITH a beer, due to the gagging, but, you know). As for the smoking... well, I think you all know my opinion on THAT.
[Like roller coasters] Some. Not very high and or steep ones. The Thunderbolt is about the most intense I get and still really enjoy.
[Wish you could live somewhere else? ] Not particularly, I just wish everyone else lived near ME
[Want more piercings] no. As you can see by the fact that I never got any to begin with.
[Like cleaning] depends. You wouldn't tell from my house
[Write in cursive or print] a combination. Looks closer to print, though. It's odd the letters I choose to do cursive though. It's not even consistant. Hmm. I rather like my handwriting, now that I look at it.
[Carry a donor card] yes
[Swear a lot] nope. Not even a little, which confuses people. But seriously, if you never got in the habit, you have no need to.
[Own a web cam] no
[Know how to drive] Yes. Don't ask me about parking.
[Diet] As a matter of fact, I have a diet. It's called "I eat stuff."
[Own a cell phone] yes
[Ever get off the damn computer] Occasionally. Not often on a weeknight though.
[Hablar Espanol] I can't even remember how to say "a little."

Have you ever...
[Gotten a speeding ticket] yes
[DUI] No, that's REALLY retarded! (quoting from Carrie's answer)
[Been in a wreck] fender benders. Not really a wreck. I SAW a pretty scary wreck happen once.
[Been arrested] no
[Been in a fist fight] not really
[Kicked someone in the nuts] Not on purpose. I believe it's happened before on accident though. I'm like that.
[Stolen a car] Well... I sort of stole Jason's. It's registered under his name and was his first. Then, his is registered under MY name, so it all works out.
[Stolen anything] accidentally walked off with stuff that wasn't actually mine... probably
[Held a gun] haha (an even bigger haha than Carrie's), many times. Can I AVOID it? And supposedly I'm a decent shot, too.
[Smoked] My opinion on this is already firmly stated. Oh, no I haven't actually EVER, either.
[Drink] Yeah...already talked about this one, too
[Been so drunk you couldn't remember your name] no
[Considered a life of crime] Seriously? no
[Considered being a hooker] no
[Cheated on someone? ] no
[Been married] Oh... is THAT what it is?
[Cried over a girl] yes
[Cried over a boy]yes
[Lied to someone] yes ... though I'm more of a half-truth sort of person
[Been in love] Yes
[Had sex outdoors] ...what's sad is I actually had to think about this one. But no, I don't think so.
[Fallen for your best friend] Well, I fell for a guy that I KNEW upon first meeting him would become one of my best friends and that's why I fell for him, but eventually got over the falling for part; and THEN I fell for a guy who later DID become my best friend. But I stayed fallen for him. Oh, I am madly in love with my best girlfriend though, but not physically.
[Made out with JUST a friend] no
[Been in lust] yes
[Used someone] I hope not, but probably.
[Been used] Heh. A lot of people think I can be used easily because I'm nice. But the truth is I don't CARE. So I don't think it counts as being used.
[Been kissed] yes
[Experimented with homosexuality? ] no. Unless you count having once been in love with a gay guy. Or being in love with a lesbian except not physically. No, the PHYSICAL part could only be felt toward the GUY, but the GUY was not INTERESTED. Life is not fair that way, the two coolest people you ever met in your life turn out to be sexually incompatible with you. But then the gay guy introduces you to his straight best guy friend and everything becomes fair again.


My new glasses rock. I can actually see through them. It's kind of cool.

Do you remember where that astrological compability chart was? Not that I think much of astrology, but it might be interesting.

I remember Bongi having a fascination with metric time, but I can't remember what he said about the number 11.

[rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com]

He used to always say 11 was evil-- I guess because it was so mathematically weird? I just always remembered because I LIKE 11.

I don't remember where the astrological compatibility chart was-- I did it sometime last year. On the internet, somewhere. Maybe a Google search will find it-- or something like?

I think he was particularly fond of 10 and 12, so maybe 11 just had the misfortune to fall between those two numbers.

It's kind of like rockonliz and March 16 (if she looks at this again and is able to second that).

[rockonliz.livejournal.com]

how do you people remember this stuff? :0

[rockinlibrarian.livejournal.com]

Because, pathetic self-obsessed dork that I am, I reread my old journals a lot. That's probably why I remember most of my past so vividly.
