What She Said

Posted by Cottontimer on 02 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Me, Memes and Quizzes

getsheila Sheila said it better than me so let’s just say I said what she said when it comes to the following questions for the 2006 meme:

1 – The ugly part about learning new technology
10 – Blogging has changed me forever, hopefully for the good
17 – My laptop is permanently attached to me. Thank goodness Marv and I no longer share a computer.
21 – Blogging is motivational
22 – Back to prepregnancy weight when I had been below for a while
28 – I swear I’ve said the exact same about trolls and spammers before
31 – W00t! (Thank you, Christina, for teaching me what the heck this means. I’m sure other people don’t thank you for teaching me that, though. haa)
32 – Double W00t!
33 – Contempt is the way to go
49 – Right (write?!) backatcha, babe!
51 – I thought only I was proud of that
55 – OHHH YES
56 – Anyone who says “cow-tow” is alright by me! hehee

What’s your nerd score?

Posted by Cottontimer on 20 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: Memes and Quizzes

Jodi sent me the link to this nerd quiz. I’m not sure if I should be happy or ~~glad~~ upset (guess my subconscious was thrilled) that I got the same percentile as Britney Spears! My score is 199, my rating is 42.61%. Britney’s nerd percentile is 42%.

What did you get?

10 Random Facts About Me

Posted by Cottontimer on 18 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Me, Memes and Quizzes

Stef tagged me and since I’m feeling the itch to blog but have no more creative power to think of a clever (ha!) subject to write about, I shall list 10 random facts about me…starting NOW!

I’m getting a groove on the left side of my temple where my slightly-too-tight glasses clutch my head.
I have a lot of freckles even though I stay out of the sun and wear lotion/make-up with SPF.
Marv found four strands of grey hair all in a bunch on the left side of my head last weekend. Wonder what section of brain that corresponds to.
I hate wasting time waiting with nothing to do.
People who enjoy shoving their overinflated egos in my face annoy me the most (especially since I can trump most of them).
My favorite TV show is The West Wing and I used to fantasize about a career in politics when I was in college.
I like my fingernails really really short with barely any white showing.
I get things done and I don’t whine about it (well, hardly ever).
Whenever I feel funky, a couple of mint antacids usually do the trick.
My best and worst quality is the same – I’m a positive thinker and hardly ever consider the negative side of things, like what would happen if things don’t go as planned. Luckily, Marv is the opposite so I am still prepared just in case.

Who else wants to share some random facts?

How Nice!

Posted by Cottontimer on 15 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Memes and Quizzes, Reading

A couple months ago, I mentioned the book, The Power of Nice: How to Conquer the Business World With Kindness by Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval. I haven’t gotten the book yet but I was pleased to find the Nice Blog with Cotton-Pickin’ Days on the blogroll labeled “Other Nice Links”!

The Power of Nice website has a bunch of fun stuff including e-cards like this one and a NiceQ test. I didn’t do so well and got a 14 out of 20 putting me at an “average familiarity with nice skills.”
