With prom season fast approaching, I figured I ought to get a jump on what to wear. Turns out… 

I should get a dress that’s… Black - Elegant

I am naturally elegant and classy. I should opt for a black dress with some funky accents to show off my good fashion sense and natural beauty.

‘What Prom Dress should you get?’ at QuizGalaxy.com

Ok, if you’re brave enough to send them to me as .jpegs, I’ll post a gallery. Oh, and are you kidding me, I totally reserve the right to draw cartoons on them I promise not to make fun of you.

You most resemble Marlon BrandoYou are very smart, and very talented, although you don’t really enjoy social company. You prefer to live alone, go to movies alone, cry alone in the corner…Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com

Er…um…uh…there isn’t…I haven’t…ugh. This can’t be right? Which screwed up celebrity do you most resemble?

Interesting. What effect do YOU have on people?

My Karaoke Theme Song is “Since U Been Gone”

I am a very expressive and genuine person. I’m not so emotional that you wear your heart on your sleeve - but I’m not afraid to show how I’m truly feeling.Whether I’m singing along in the car or singing on stage, my favorite songs make me get a little carried away. I’m definitely the type most likely to dream of becoming a rock star! I might also sing: “Livin’ La Vida Loca,” “I Will Survive,” or “Hollaback Girl” Stay away from people who sing: “I’ll Make Love to You”

Here’s another one for you. In honor of Top Twelve Idol Tuesday (will blog later). It’s true, the only reason I’m teaching now is because I’m too old to try out for Americal Idol.

I Am 40% Texas

I’m as welcome in Texas as a skunk at a lawn party.

In honor of the Texas/Ohio primaries, I thought I’d find out if I’d fit in in the lonestar state. Apparently not. That is…unless Texans like having skunks at lawn parties.

I Am Fairly Normal

I scored 35% normal on this quizLike most people I am normal in some ways… But I’m not a completely normal person. I am a little weird too!Why I am Normal: I’d rather have rats than cockroaches in myhome I would eat meat from a cloned animal I eat the frosting first If I had to, I’d rather live without music and still have laughter I prefer ruffled potato chips Why I’m Not Normal: I prefer a good nap to a good meal I would rather be a movie star than an astronaut I would rather be tan than pale When I’m in a car, I prefer to be the passenger I prefer my family to my friends

See, now this one is way off, I think. I am way weirder than this portrays. How about you?

You Are Most Like Richard Nixon

Oh sure, you give people plenty of reasons to call you “Tricky Dick.” But you’re actually quite diplomatic, even though you secretly hate your enemies.

At the risk of getting in to a mildly political discussion…there’s a thing I’ve noticed. Until this year, my kids knew very little about current events or politics. They’re still on the young end of grade school. Up until now, they could both tell you who the President was, but that’s about it. With the election coverage, that’s vastly changing and I know that this year is the first year they will remember a presidential election and what it means. Mine was Nixon and it wasn’t an election, it was a resignation. But…I definitely remember a time when the correct answer to “Who’s the President?” was Richard Nixon. He left office when I was just shy of four. I also remember being able to correctly answer who the vice president and secretary of state were.

 The thing is….I’m not any smarter than my kids. Probably far less so It is my theory that cable TV is the difference (and I suppose, to a lesser extent, computers and video games…though I do limit their time). When we were little, you could basically watch what, 3 channels? We saw the news. We heard those names and titles all of the time (even if we didn’t understand it, we constantly heard “Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State etc.). My kids don’t see as much news as I did. If the TV is on, it’s Nickelodeon, Noggin, PBS Kids etc.

I’m not saying it’s a good or bad thing, just interesting. Anyway…what got me to thinking of this (and you’ll see…my train of thought is always pretty serpentine) is a phenomenon I’ve noticed in both my husband and me. We’ll turn on the TV (Nickelodeon etc, when the kids are there). The kids will watch 5 minutes of whatever it is, then go off about their business. We, on the other hand, in kind of a mindless fog, will sit and watch Spongebob in its entirety before realizing…Hey, the kids left, put on Fox or CNN!

Sooooo, anyway, I think Spongebob would make a great President. He has charm and charisma and represents change. Squidward is too negative and too much of a Bikini Bottom insider for my liking. Patrick Star, being a starfish, is way too much of a flip flopper.

P.S. How weird is it that “Spongebob” showed up as a word on my spellchecker???

I Am Most Like Ronald Reagan

People tend to think I’m a god - or that I almost ruined the country. But even if people do disagree with me, they still fall victim to my charms!

Awesome!

I am also officially tired of the election coverage. But…in honor of Super Tuesday, we have polling results from my household. Of indepedent non-voters under five feet tall, the breakdown is as follows (margin of error +/- eleventy billion because we asked them repeatedly over the course of two days).

Clinton - 25%

McCain - 25%

That Guy w/ the Red Nose - 0% (Honey, he’s not running anymore. And his nose isn’t red. It’s just his name is Rudy, yes, like the reindeer…)

Spongebob  - 25%

There you have it. Better than Drudge!

I Am 38% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in my heart, but I hide it well. In some ways, I am the most dangerous kind of evil.

How evil are you?
