You Are Balanced – Realist – Empowered
You feel your life is controlled both externally and internally.
You have a good sense of what you can control and what you should let go.
Depending on the situation, you sometimes try to exert more control.
Other times, you accept things for what they are and go with the flow.

You are a realist when it comes to luck.
You don’t attribute everything to luck, but you do know some things are random.
You don’t beat yourself up when bad things happen to you…
But you do your best to try to make your own luck.

You have a good deal of power, but you also know the pecking order.
You realize that working the system does get you further.
You know who to defer to and who to control.
When it comes to the game of life, you play things flawlessly.


 


hmm, that was the best blogthing I’ve done in a bit 🙂  maybe its becuase I had a good result….


Well, holidays are coming to an end.  I have work tonight, and then tomorrow its back to university.


The holidays were moderately sucessful.  The tasks I set myself – go to the doctors, go to the dentist, get a haircut, get a massage, get quotes for decorations, get quotes for DJs, get quotes for trophies, do a poster for the physics ball, do the physics newsletter, do my Lasers assignment, do my Lasers Tutorials (one to be handed in, one not), get up to date with my reading for NMR, and do some study for Stat Mech (ie, work through the deriving of equations)


The Tasks I didnt complete – get a haircut, get quotes for trophies, my tutorial to be handed in (its due tuesday), do some study for stat mech.


Well, techincally the newsletter isnt finished, but I should get it done today, and Im going to do the NMR reading tonight in my break (its not much afterall)


so, I suppose I should be happy.  Im glad I didnt work much, otherwise I wouldnt have gotten all of this done.  Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew.  And its a habit I have to learn to break.


I also achieved one of my goals for 43things – get another two peircing in my ear – but its kinda hurting, and so I can sleep on my left side of my face, which is really really bugging me. 


Today is the second of october.  its one month (less a few days) till my first exam.  so this month Im going to spend quitely.  I only plan on seeing a movie this tuesday, and then going to the theatre once, which is a very quite month for me socially.  But very good for my wallet too.  (must curb my spending, must curb my spending….)


sorry for the boring blog, but this is whats on my mind at the moment.  Hopefully a new RuroKen will come out soon, that should distract me 🙂 hehe

Click to see my Star Wars Personality!!


that test is pretty cool!  My strongest point was Obi-Wan 🙂  but I also had a mix of C3PO, one of the droids, one of the animals on Hoth, and some guy who stuffed up on the attack on Hoth.  But its very well done!


Check out the QUT Physics Society website – its up and running and pretty cool http://www.qutphysicssociety.com  the forums are pretty intresting…  the post grads are very active, which is great


 


oh, and I just noticed I can now edit posts, which is great!!!! (you have no idea how often I post something and then realize i forgot to include something)


vaccumed my computer today, it looks nice and clean now 🙂





29 09 2005

well, I cant believe I havent taken the time to actually post an entry up this holiday.  not that much has been happening, but little things have, and I’ve spent a lot of time on my computer too….  ah well.  I really ought not procrastinate.


I’ve had most of the appointments I wanted to get out of the way, you know, doctors, dentist, massage (and I’m still hurting too).  Unfortunately I didnt have the opportunity to ring up in time for a haircut, so I’m going to try and get a walk in one tomorrow in town.  I will be very happy if i can, my hair is driving me nuts.


Mum and I went to DFO, which was good and bad.  There really arnt that many bargins there, but i did manage to find some work shirts and a dress for the ball.  However, I spent far tooo much money.  Im not looking forward to my credit card bill.  And speaking of that, mum didnt tell me until after I had made my appointments that I would have to pay for them myself.  I wasnt a happy chap.  Things are going to be a little difficult for a while.  That, and I confirmed I only get paid every second week.  blah.


Tuesday I went to see Howl’s moving castle for the second time.  It was kinda good to see it in english, cause there was one small, small small line i missed, and it ended up being kinda crucial to understanding part of the plot line.  Saw that with Rei and Leeder, so it was good to catch up with them too. Oh, and the really really surprising thing was we saw Mel before we went into the movie!  That really made my day since I havent see her in a bit. 


Yesterday I didnt do much, and today is pretty similar.  Originally I was supposed to work, but that was changed.  Which was kinda good because its given me time to get my assignments due next week done.  (despite the fact they are really really bugging me).  Now I just have to do my ironing sometime and I’ve gotten most everything I wanted to done this holidays.


thats not including emailing everyone I should email, and editing a chapter of a story for a friend.  Oh, and giving my computer a good clean (and Im not talking about the hard drive, no, my computer is covered in dust!)

You Are 30% Boyish and 70% Girlish
Even if you’re not a girl, you’re very feminine.
You’re in touch with your feelings, and your heart rules you.
A bit of a emotional roller coaster, one moment you’re up and the next you’re down.
But no matter what, you try to be as cute and perky as possible.







Your Personality Is

Idealist (NF)

You are a passionate, caring, and unique person.
You are good at expressing yourself and sharing your ideals.

You are the most compassionate of all types and connect with others easily.
Your heart tends to rule you. You can’t make decisions without considering feelings.

You seek out other empathetic people to befriend.
Truth and authenticity matters in your friendships.

In love, you give everything you have to relationships. You fall in love easily.

At work, you crave personal expression and meaning in your career.

With others, you communicate well. You can spend all night talking with someone.

As far as your looks go, you’ve likely taken the time to develop your own personal style.

On weekends, you like to be with others. Charity work is also a favorite pastime of yours.


Okay!  Hollidays!  Yoshi!  very very happy


I got a phone call from Laura the other night, which was a very nice surprise!  I had kinda forgotten what its like to talk on the phone for ages with a friend, thanks babe!


Last nite Lauren and I went to the Queensland Roar game.  Apart from making a very big fool out of myself (like shouting the wrong team name and falling over…. dont ask) I had a very very good time.  Too bad the ‘Roar’ lost…. 3-1 Sydney.   but I am all for supporting soccer in Australia.  and the ‘Roar’ have funky colors (and I can go around saying ‘grrrrrrr’ for a reason


check out there website – http://www.qldroar.com.au/


I like this guy – Karl Dodd (ehehe).   He’s a central defender, and as far as Im concerned, he played very well last night.


 


I dont like Jonathan Richter…  that man is an idiot. grrrrrrrrr……


 


Oh, and on another note, you know that you’ve studied too much science when you sit down, and watch a cartoon and pick apart all the different things that are wrong with it.  and I was really looking forward to watching Titan AE.  *sniffs*

i dont get online for 2 days and I have 16 emails!  man, Im in tooo many mailing groups…


here are the highlights for today – http://www.eviltree.de/zoomquilt/zoom.htm  – thanks to dad







What Your Sleeping Position Says
You are calm and rational.
You are also giving and kind – a great friend.
You are easy going and trusting.
However, you are too sensible to fall for mind games.


and the last highlight is that I was invited to join a manga mail group thanks to my lovely scanlation 🙂


apart from that, not much new. spent over $110 on skin care products today and also brought new shoes.  retail therapy is nice


 


oh, and everyone who has replied to one of those general quizes I sent out said that they were listening to the sound of their computer fans…

Your World View
You are a cautious type, neutral, and rather insecure.
You would agree with the idea that everybody has his price…
And in your own case it would not be high.

You are ruled by an inferiority complex and not easy to assess.
How do you present yourself to the world?
An idealist, a moralist, a conformist keeping up with the Joneses?


 


check this quiz out too – http://smartasses.org/aussiequiz.html  yep, an aussie slang quiz.  I got 16 out of 20.  Mum got 18.  some of the stuff I have never heard of before!
