I am more offended by this than I should be.

But mostly because of the sequence of events.

Oh well. Fuck it. We knew this was over before it ever got started.

The Everything Test

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)

Personality
You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more atheist than religious, more loner than dependent, more lazy than workaholic, more rebel than traditional, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more idealist than cynical, more leader than follower, and more introverted than extroverted.

As for specific personality traits, you are outgoing (100%), romantic (86%), innovative (71%), musical (65%).

Stereotypes
College Student100%
Emo Kid100%
Punk Rock93%
 
Life Experience
Sex27%
Substances38%
Travel12%

Politics
Your political views would best be described as Socialist, whom you agree with around 83% of the time.
  Socioeconomic
Your attitude toward life best associates you with Middle Class. You make more than 41% of those who have taken this test, and 79% less than the U.S. average.

If your life was a movie, it would be rated PG-13.
By the way, your hottness rank is 55%, hotter than 29% of other test takers.

I think I've decided to do this after I graduate. It's what I wanted to do in the Peace Corps, and I can set the terms of my service, instead of 27 months.

Speaking of graduation, if I can stay on track this time, I will graduate in December (finally!).

I will be interning at Ocean Dreams again this summer. They're farming clownfish of all sorts, so that will be freaking awesome. :)

1:28 pm - Dog update.
Skylar got X-rayed. She has a bad case of hip dysplasia and a somewhat milder case of spinal arthritis. She's only 4. I love that my vet is a hippie, and doesn't automatically run for the hip replacement option. Right now, she's on Rimadyl (anti-inflammatory) for a month and I've put both her and Shelby on glucosamine supplements, which will continue forever and a day. She's already showing progress. I didn't realize just how aggressive towards Shelby she'd gotten, I suppose from the pain in her hips and spine. In any case, walks are more pleasant now, and I can ever walk both of them at once with minimal trouble, due to Shelby's gentle leader. Skylar doesn't pull if Shelby doesn't pull and Shelby doesn't pull if I control her head. It's a win-win-win situation. And Molly? Molly is bed hogging lazy ass.

The end.

This will be all over soon
Pour the salt into the open wound

Is it over yet?...

You take the breath right out of me
And left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I will be the death of you

Pit Bull owners bark at 'dangerous dogs' ban


Tampa, Florida - Pit bulls, German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Dobermans are among the breeds that would be banned under a proposal before the Hillsborough county commission. The goal is to cut down on the number of dog bites in the county.

Last month, a toddler was critically injured after his grandmother allowed him to get too close to her 3 Pit Bull mixes as they were eating. 20-month old Ian Keo screamed when he got tangled up in the dogs' chains. Then one of the dogs attacked. Ian suffered critical bites to his neck and head.

Friday, the public was invited to sound off on a proposal for a 'dangerous dogs' ban during a meeting at Hillsborough County Animal Services. Crystal Jimenez showed up to say she's tired of people singling out certain breeds. She says her 2 pit bulls are just like any other dogs.

Instead of a breed ban, Jimenez says she wants the public to be taught about different dog breeds.

'I've been asking Hillsborough county for at least 3 years now for an education program. Nobody wants to listen to me,' she says.

She adds that owners also need to take responsibility when they have breeds with a predisposition for violence.

'You need to know that when you chose to take this breed on. It's a bully breed. You need to know what you're getting into,' she says. 'You can't chain a dog in the backyard and not expect it to be aggressive.'

Animal services is holding 3 more public input sessions, as warranted, at its facility in Brandon. The dates are: March 19, 22, and 26. All the meetings are scheduled for 2 p.m.

Animal services will then compile the input to be presented to county commissioners within 30 days.

11:52 pm - More lyrics...
you almost always pick the best time
to drop the worst lines
you almost made me cry again this time
another false alarm, red flashing lights
well this time, i'm not going to watch myself die

i think i made it a game to play your game
and let myself cry
i buried myself alive on the inside
so i could shut you out
and let you go away for a long time

i guess it's okay i puked the day away
i guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
and if you want me back
you're gonna have to ask

i think the chain broke away and i felt at the day
that i had my own time
i took advantage of myself and felt fine
but it was worth the night
i caught an early flight and i made it home

i guess it's okay i puked the day away
i guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
and if you want me back
you're gonna have to ask
nicer than that
nicer than that

with my foot on your neck
i finally have you
right where i want you

i guess it's okay i puked the day away
i guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way
and if you want me back
you're gonna have to ask
nicer than that
nicer than that

and if you want me back you're gonna have to ask
nicer than that.. nicer

In the mourning I can see the sights
No wonder I could never keep you satisfied
In the mourning I can see inside
Myself and all the things that you were trying to hide
[Repeat]

Wishing all the best for you
And now I will say goodbye
Cause all the shit that we've been through
Put wisdom in my eyes

So walk away, don't turn around
Cause I won't be standing here
Cause all the lies that I've been living through
Are becoming very clear

And beauty thus becomes


I'm so tired of the fucking drama and fighting. Can't you just sober up and stop please? I already have headaches and chest pains...at this point, I don't want anything else. I think my crazy brainness and abandonment issues are somewhat your fault, and at this point, I'm tired of not blaming you for what you should be blamed for.


current mood: anxious
