OH NOES

Real post should be coming tomorrow... in the meantime...

That long? Really?

This was just absurd enough that I had to try it...

How long has it been?

You who've been reading me for a while know I can't resist taking these silly Internet quizzes... and Caltechgirl has provided me with one today just when I needed a diversion.

You Are Softball

While you do like competing, you like cooperating even more. You find working with a group to be much more invigorating than going solo. You are a true team player. You like contributing to the win!

What Olympic Sport Are You?

Blame Caltechgirl.  Really. :)

OK, Just One More

'What creature will become your nemesis?' at QuizGalaxy.com

And now, I promise some substantive posts before I do any more of these goofy quiz things.  Everyone else needs to stop tempting me by posting them.  Yeah, that's the ticket.

A Passel of Quizlings

Haven't done any of these in a while either... and I've got quite a few I'd intended to try... some of them have been saved in my Bloglines RSS reader for months!

You are the Celtic Cross: This cross was first made out of stone and is often found atop hills, in front of castles and in graveyards throughout Ireland and Scotland. The stone was carved with various symbols including a circle or halo (representing eternal life) and variations of the celtic knot.

What Type of Killer Are You? [cool pictures]

You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You are not really the stereotypical hero, but you do fight for good. Just in your own way. For you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil person, if it is for justice and peace. You also don't belive in mourning all the time and think that once you've hit a bad stage in life you just have to get up again. It's pointless to concentrate on emotional pain and better to just get on with everything. You also are a down to earth type of person and think before you act. Impulsive people may annoy you somewhat.

Main weapon: Sword
Quote:"Always do the right thing. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest" -Mark Twain
Facial expression: Small smile

You Are A: Lamb!

Peaceful and gentle, lambs have been used in religious imagery for millennia.  Lambs are baby sheep, an animal tended by shephards since the dawn of history.  As a lamb, you tend to stay together in a flock and graze on grassy land. Lambs don't mind being led and tend not to go off on their own.

You were almost a: Bunny or a Duckling
You are least like a: Parakeet or a ChipmunkWhat Cute Animal Are You?

Sounds like me!

Hat tip to Bou for this - I adore Calvin & Hobbes!

Katharine Hepburn You scored 16% grit, 23% wit, 47% flair,  and 28% class!

You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women. Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.
