Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS : Others see you as someone they should 'handle with care.' You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS : &nbs p;Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. &nbsp ;They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS : Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. &nb sp;Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the mom en, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees pr oblems that don't exist. Some people think you' re boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Here are the NEW (Rachelle) rules:
Let others know who tagged you.
Players answer questions about themselves.
Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 questions and answers.
Players should tag 3 or more people and tell them they’ve been tagged.

1. one thing people might not know about you:
I am neurotic about cleaning my ears. I clean them at least once every day. Usually more. My idea of Hell consists of a place without Q-tips.

Besides Q-tips? My compost bin. Outstanding!

3. in my next house, i vow:

My children amaze me daily. And it is truly astonishing that my husband can love me in my ratty pj's each and every morning with crazy hair and morning breath.

And now I will tag Nicol, Nicole, and Tina.

ten random things about me

another meme thanks to rachelle:
1. many, many strangers have asked me if i was canadian upon hearing my "accent"
2. although i never ate beef, i have been a lacto-ovo vegetarian ever since this happened in 1995.
3. adam and i decided that our future daughter would be named kylinn before we were even married. tegan, on the other hand, was decided on around 16 weeks gestation and would have still been tegan regardless of gender. prior to august 2006, our names were julien erihn and corbin dayton. then i met a nastly little corbin and it freaked me out.
4. i try to be so independent and self-sufficient that i tend to come off as cold when really i'm just trying to prove my own strength to myself.
5. adam and i managed to pay almost $20K of our wedding ourselves while he was still making less than $30K a year and i was contributing little or nothing to the income department.
6. i have well over 50 pairs of shoes. i'm sure it's closer to 100, but i've recently donated some.
7. in high school, i briefly considered going into dentistry until i remembered that i can't stand the sight of blood. my guidance counselor was the one who advised me to go into teaching.
8. i only got in trouble once in school. in fifth grade, for talking in the back of the room while i was supposed to building my series circuit. i had my name put on the board. i was mortified. when i ended up subbing with said teacher, i told her about it and she laughed that i had even remembered. remembered? it has apparently scarred me for life!
9. i still find myself quoting lines from "pee-wee's playhouse."
10. i'm a sucker for an open-air market (flea, fruit & vegetables, flowers or otherwise)

(meme from tuesday)

Ten Years Ago: I had been dating (my now husband) Adam for almost a year. I was a freaky little junior at Romeo High School breaking and rebreaking swimming records and refusing to do unnecessary homework out of principle.

Five Years Ago: Adam and I had been married now for four months. We were young & completely broke, but it didn't matter. We were living in a tiny little house and forced to spend lots of time together. That was a good thing.

One Year Ago: I totally jumped off the breastfeeding bandwagon & truly enjoyed celebrating with margaritas galore. We were preparing for our very first Halloween party and exclusively shopping at Meijer for their gift card promotion.

Yesterday: I painted some cool spooky signs for my front steps and did some housework. Ky and I walked up to the mailbox (she wore her new bunny hat) only to realize that it was Columbus Day (?) and there was no mail delivery.

5 Songs I know all the words to: Forever In Blue Jeans, Everybody Hurts, Ice Cream, Oh Very Young, and P. Control

5 Snacks: Bettermade Potato Chips, licorice, Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia, jalapeno poppers, hot pretzels & cheese

5 Things I'd do with 100 million dollars: Pay off whatever house, car and loans that I have. Pay off my mothers house and remaining church mortgage. Travel like crazy. Set aside a big chunk for our childrens future. Invest the rest.

5 Places I'd run away to: Hawaii, Cape Cod, Vancouver, Bordeaux, and Madras.

5 Books/TV shows: Desperate Housewives, Blow Out, Live with Regis and Kelly, Wife Swap and Go Baby

5 Greatest Joys: Adam, Kylinn, my family, my friends, my kitties

5 Favorite Toys: my camera phone, my computer, TiVo, my bike, my husband

5 People i'm tagging to do this: Jeremy, Sylvia, Rachelle, Nicol and YOU
