On My Way to Phoenix 2004.07.31.18:50

God help me, but I'm headed to Phoenix at the height of Summer. I'm going mainly for the IPMS/USA 2004 National Convention, but since my mom lives in Mesa, I'm going out a few days early to visit her for a bit.

I really hate high temperatures. Dry heat, humid heat, I just don't care for it.

But I'm heading for Phoenix, the first week of August...

OK, Who Stole July? 2004.07.31.18:47

I haven't had a single month fly by so quickly since, well, probably when I was in college and facing down my last set of final exams. I seriously feel like I blinked on the 2nd or so, and now it's the 31st.

That 20-Questions-to-a-Better-Personality Thing 2004.07.02.00:08

All the cool kids are taking that 20-questions personality quiz thing, the one on the web site of usual name. Since I'm a sheep, I did too. I'd say the results are about 60%-70% accurate, but I'm not inclined to say which 60%-70%.

You are a WECF–Wacky Emotional Constructive Follower. This makes you a candle burning at both ends. You work until you drop, and you play until you can stand to work again. You have so much enthusiasm that you can find it hard to control on your own, and you appreciate the guidance that channels your energy and lets you be your best.

In a relationship, you require lots of attention and support. You often over-contribute and end up feeling depleted and cheated. You may benefit from more time alone than you grant yourself.

Your driving force is the emotional support of others–especially affection. You can run on empty for miles if you have positive energy behind you. Without it–as it occasionally must run dry–you are depressive, listless, and difficult to motivate.

You need a lot of affection. Get it any way you can, but never at the cost of your self-respect or well-being.

There. Wonder no more about the mysteries of my psyche.
