What Kind of Reader Are You? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

Given that I read three books this weekend, I like to think that I am even more dedicated. I guess there are two levels of obsession when it comes to reading, one is always reading and having a book handy and two is reading a book till it's finished and ignoring the world around you (aka, staying in bed till late morning to finish a book).
The books I read this weekend are listed in the Ravelry list on in my right column with links to Amazon if you want to read more about the books, but here is my quick and dirty reviews:

1. The Sinner by Tess Gerritsen- Nice quick who done, kind of a minor league Scarpetta book, and I loved the medical part of the book.
   
2. Marley and Me- It's a five hanky book, if you love dogs than you will enjoy it till the last two chapters. It's a dog, they don't live as long as us.....but while this dog was alive, he was pretty bad.
   
3. The Perks of Being a Wallflower- a book for teenagers, written through letters written by a sensitive, geek freshman boy finding a niche among seniors who accept him and include him. Think Catcher in the Rye, but a much nicer character, who people like and of course there is a hidden secret in his life which has deeply affected him. My middle guy is going to read it and I hope we can talk about it. His viewpoint will be interesting.
   

I think I am well on my way to 52 books for the year. Can I just say that I love my library???? We may not have a downtown, supermarket or even a post office, but damn, we have a great library!

Sesame Street Fun

You Are Bert

Extremely serious and a little eccentric, people find you lovable - even if you don't love them! You are usually feeling: Logical - you rarely let your emotions rule you You are famous for: Being smart, a total neat freak, and maybe just a little evil How you live your life: With passion, even if your odd passions (like bottle caps and pigeons) are baffling to others

The Sesame Street Personality Quiz

And here I thought Bert was the neurotic one. But of course my blogging friend, The Gal Herself would be Ernie. At least I'm not Oscar the Grouch or Grover...have you seen the Urban Myth rumor that Sesame Street has become politically correct and Cookie Monster is now the Veggie Monster- Not true! At least Sesame Street had some good songs and sketchs that kept me entertained along with my kids 17 years ago, wonder how much it's changed? We used to have a four cartridge set of the Sesame Street songs for the car and I bet if I asked any of my kids how to sing any of the songs, they would remember.

Readability and Extensive syllabication

I saw this over at Life In Westcliffe where JaneyWan writes for Geniuses. I guess writing for college undergrads is good. I may have to use some extremely complicated sentences with extensive syllabication to amplify the contemporaneous magnitude of this electronic chronicle. And for those who just want it down and dirty, I may have to write wicked hard sentences to get a higher rating for this blog. I think I am content with the current level.

What Book Am I? No, it's not Hop on Pop

You're Siddhartha!

by Hermann Hesse

You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try
anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent
some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in.
This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's
time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in
ferries.

at the Blue Pyramid.

I believe in ferries? Once upon a time in my interim career I had to help SPED students answer questions to this book. As if they would read this when it took me two tries. The first time I did the quick glances to look for the answers. Basically guy questions his meager existence, searches for the meaning, does drugs, gets laid and finds happiness, then questions his life and forgets to eat...sounds like a plausible plot to me.
Thank you to Sparky and This Gal for yet another quiz.

Monday Morning Color quiz

you are mediumauqamarine #66CDAA

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days. Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it. Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.

What color are you?

Medium, not brilliant, the story of my life. I don't know where One Gal finds these quizzes, but they are fun. Another Monday, another week to work, to figure out some real meals and to have an extra car for the boys to use this week. My husband is off on his grand tour of the south, not really so grand, but it makes Alabama, Mississippi and Florida sound like fun. I have been up since 4:30 since I had to drive him to the airport, guess I have wasted enough time this morning and might as well get into work. It's going to be a very long day.

Debbie Downer, Quiz and Contests, Oh My!

Do you know a Debbie Downer? The best part of this video is that the cast just can't stop themselves from laughing.

Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

My last quiz was in January, I saw this one and was intrigued. This aspect of my personality is a puzzle to me, why do I do these surveys and post them? Maybe I just need some fun!

Speaking of fun, This Eclectic Life has a blogging contest going on and it involves submitting 3 funny posts. Her 13 this week was a riot, even if I felt like a Debbie Downer with my 13.

Another contest to check out is over at Teatime Ramblings where she has some very pretty knitted dishcloths and towels to give away to a random poster who links to her blog.

Quick posts the next few days, we finally have some sun and track meets to attend. Next week is lab week and I have some personal surveys to tabulate to create a Family Feud type game.
