This is a test post from a third party photo thingie |

because I'm having trouble formatting my musical exerpts for livejournal consumption...

Family is most important in your life.
Having a high focus on family indicates that you are a loving and nurturing person. You want to have a nice big family of your own, and you are very close with your siblings and parents.

That I keep this journal now for a few reasons:
1. To be able to read friends-only postings on a few of my friends' journals
2. Because I really, really can't part with my WFB icon
3. Because it kills me that at least one other girl is using MissGOP as a screenname (a whore, most likely, judging from the messages I get from people who think I'm her on a dating site...)
4. I kind of dig the whole friends-list page. It's the only place I see ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) kestrelderyn and her cross-country adventures with that guy of hers.
But really, it's become a big, fat depository for quizzes. I'm nice, generally, and put them in private entries because I know it annoys everyone else, but... I'm such a child. I like the quizzes. A lot.
So, I'm just kind of checking in. I miss the whole "mood" indicator, and there isn't really a comparable option in Blogger. Same for the music tag. Kinda sucks, really, because I always enjoyed seeing what other people were listening to...
But, here's the news: Lessons are back. And, with them, lots of questions about clarinet stuff.
Anyway, that's what we're going to do. I'm not really asking for permission, I'm just letting you know that clarinet-central is coming, and I don't want you to be surprised when you start seeing "how-to" manuals on reedwork.Current Mood:  cheerful Current Music: Who's Got the Action? - Dean Martin |

but I'll keep it short because we don't want this place to descend into smut too quickly now...
"Questus eram, pharetra cum protinus ille soluta
legit in exitium spicula facta meum,
lunavitque genu sinuosum fortiter arcum,
'quod' que 'canas, vates, accipe' dixit 'opus!'
Me miserum! certas habuit puer ille sagittas.
uror, et in vacuo pectore regnat Amor."
After a couple of weeks of his Tristia being more appropriate, it was nice to have a short meeting with the Amores.
Someday I'll be able to stop the little butterflies in my stomach long
enough to have a coherent conversation. Now, though, I suppose I'll
just enjoy the heady feeling.Current Mood: chipper Current Music: Rushmore on the DVD player |

the Wit
(60% dark, 17% spontaneous, 22% vulgar) | your humor style:
CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK
You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're
probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean you're
pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the
Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor
and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.
I
guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the
perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor
takes the most effort to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my
opinion.
Also, you probably loved the Office. If you don't know what I'm
talking about, check it out here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/theoffice/.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 68% on dark | | You scored higher than 6% on spontaneous | | You scored higher than 18% on vulgar |

Nothing but my new copy of St. Augustine's Confessions. I'm trying not to ignore the real work I have to do.... but the desire to tear into the Latin awesomeness is proving just ... too.... strong. Thankfully, I'll have a plane ride and a longish layover in Chicago at the end of the week.
I'm just loving these past few weeks. :)

Tingitur oceano custos Erymanthidos ursae,
aequoreasque suo sidere turbat aquas.
nos tamen Ionium non nostra findimus aequor
sponte, sed audaces cogimur esse metu.
me miserum! quantis increscunt aequora uentis,
erutaque ex imis feruet harena fretis!
monte nec inferior prorae puppique recuruae
insilit et pictos uerberat unda deos.
pinea texta sonant pulsu, stridore rudentes,
ingemit et nostris ipsa carina malis.
nauita confessus gelidum pallore timorem,
iam sequitur uictus, non regit arte ratem.
utque parum ualidus non proficientia rector
ceruicis rigidae frena remittit equo,
sic non quo uoluit, sed quo rapit impetus undae,
aurigam uideo uela dedisse rati.
quod nisi mutatas emiserit Aeolus auras,
in loca iam nobis non adeunda ferar.
nam procul Illyriis laeua de parte relictis
interdicta mihi cernitur Italia.
desinat in uetitas quaeso contendere terras,
et mecum magno pareat aura deo.
dum loquor et timeo pariter cupioque repelli,
increpuit quantis uiribus unda latus!
parcite caerulei uos parcite numina ponti,
infestumque mihi sit satis esse Iouem.
uos animam saeuae fessam subducite morti,
si modo, qui periit, non periisse potest.

Hey, midnight swinger!
How's the world's greatest lover tonight?
Emancipated Woman's own special delight,
So can the world's last living Casanova be alone?
They don't appreciate
The fine kind of lovin' you make.
On a scale of seven,
You would get an eight!
But you're home by your lonesome most every night.
You watch Johnny Carson 'til you turn out the light.
He's pretty funny, and it looks like you are too,
Irresistible you.
Hey, midnight swinger,
Who's got the heart that you're breaking tonight?
A centerfold playmate or a movie star type?
So how can the world's new Marcello Mastroianni be so blue?
My, what a long, long wait -
Your geisha girls seem to be late.
Who's gonna fan you?
Who's gonna peel your grapes?
Well, it looks like another boring evening at home.
No lovin' tonight, just instant breakfast alone.
If losers had contests, there's no doubt how you'd do,
Undefeatable you.(X3)
