Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me. It can only be one word.
No more.
Then please repost this so I may do the same. |

| My weekend |

So, this weekend I drove up to San Francisco, had a chance to sample my brothers cooking again (always a treat)and spent Friday hanging out with my brother and his girlfriend.
Saturday I spent the day with a friend of mine, saw 'The Science of Sleep' (still don't know how I feel about it), went to dinner at a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant and then hung out with my brother again playing pool miserably and having a great time at it.
So when I returned to my car today I was more than a little surprised to see the read drivers side window knocked out. It is part of life in the city but they did it to steal 1) a case of cd's and 2) half of my phone charger (yes, I said half.)
Someone broke out my window for a batch of cd's won't get any money for and half of something that they couldn't use. The only good is, I couldn't bring myself to get upset about it. It was so random and stupid it that I refuse to care about it.
Dealing with the insurance company should be a treat though. |

So after reading this on Zutroy's I had to try it. Lacking the benefit of a classical education, (or anything past public high school) I wanted to see how I would fare...
Princeps Senatus
You scored 85%!
|
Congratualtions! You have been voted to be the First Counselor of the Senate. Your eloquence with the Latin tongue is well-known, and you have been elevated to a position of authority within the Senate. You are always the first to speak at the Senate meetings (after the Emperor, of course) and are a very powerful ally (or enemy) to have. More than likely, you have the backing of some of the military, which could come in handy should you ever decide that being the Princeps Senatus is not enough for you...
|
|
My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 99% on Knowledge |
|
All things considered, not to shabby...THere is still something to be said for a library card. |
|
|
| have to start somewhere... |

Well, I have finally stopped procrastinating and set up an LJ at the urgings of a friend ( Thanks worth_more! ). Not much so far, but hopefully it will come together a little more over the next couple of weeks, until then there are a couple of photos to look at.
It has been kind of a long day at school and I am still recovering from being under the weather yesterday. |
