more procrastination...

These are results of just a few of the silly quizzes I took today at blogthings.

Your Life is 60% Green

Your life is pretty green - and you know a lot about how to live an eco friendly life.
So congratulate yourself for being good to the earth. And maybe think about implementing some of the ideas from this quiz!


You've Changed 56% in 10 Years

You've done a good job changing with the times, but deep down, you're still the same person.
You're clothes, job, and friends may have changed some - but it hasn't changed you.


You Are 52% California

You're fairly Californian. Unless you're really from California, you should be stoked!


Your Travel Personality Is: The Bonder

For you, travel is less about where you're going - but who you're going with.
It's no fun to experience an amazing city or a beautiful beach without your friends.
In fact, it doesn't really matter where you go... because you and your friends always figure out how to have fun!


Your Elf Name Is...

Happy Eggnog Breath


The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was arrogant, acting like the dictator of your life.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage.

In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted.

Jury Duty

It's something we all have to do every couple of years. I spent this afternoon reading Harry Potter 4 and waiting for my juror number to be called. It started with a parking adventure. I thought I would be able to leave the car in the parknig lot near the Museum of Natural Science and take the train downtown for free. Unfortunately the time was limited and I wasn't willing to take the chance that a parking ticket would cost less than paying for parking downtown. Now that I live nearby, getting downtown is no big deal. It took about 10 minutes to drive down to the jury assembly room and another 10 minutes to park - on the top level of the garage.

The jury assembly room is a big auditorium where we all wait. We started with filling out some paperwork, then watched a video on jury service. As I waited I was able to get online with the Treo and posted messages on twitter. As numbers were called, and people left the room, I read more of my book and thought about when I would be going back to law school. It would be great to get past the waiting and see more of the legal process. Problem is that I'm self-employed, so I don't get vacation or sick leave that I could use while I'm sitting on a jury.

So anyway, I spent three hours today sitting in an auditorium waiting for my jury number to be called, but it was not. Maybe in another six months...
