What color Pern dragon would you ride (Now with mechanical correctness!)

You're a brownrider. You're a dragonrider's dragonrider: grounded and level-headed, with all the confidence of a bronzerider but with a whole lot less of the ego. While most people may think of brownriders as second-besters who just couldn't cut it on bronze, you actually got the better end of the deal: yeah, you don't get the fame and prestige, but frankly, you're okay with that. Celebrity is stressful, after all. And in any event, you're a good, solid dragonrider: practical and reliable, you may be called upon to serve as a Wingsecond, Wingleader, or Weyrlingmaster, all of which are demanding positions requiring your full attention and expertise. Few people realize that, in a pinch, you're the guy the Weyrleader's most likely to turn to. And at the end of the day, you don't have to go home to a cranky weyrwoman--there are plenty of cute greenriders to flirt with, and they'll be happy not to have to put up with one of those overworked, overrated pretty boys. Well done, sir!

Happy happy early birthday to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
orangebeaver!! Have a beer, another year is just another number.
(Yeah, coming from me, right?)
Squiby is down. Again.
My herbs aren't dying, but aren't growing.
Still looking for a job.
Um.
That's about it, really.
Loki has to get neutered. REALly soon.
And WHY do cats love to sit around the toilet so much?!
Loki's place is in the corner where we can't reach him, while Snickers has her throne on the lid.
I will never get it.

This weather...
Hot during the day, cool at night, hot in the afternoon, suddenly chill before sunset and cold at night...
is wreaking havoc on my stomach.
My body does not like sudden and drastic temperature changes.

That would depend on who's trying to force me to choose. Anyone who would try to make someone choose between friends and SOs isn't worth anyone's time, let alone the outcome of that decision.
If it were a life or death situation, and some third party was making me choose who would die, I'd sacrifice myself first, rather than let anyone else die.

Video of Obama's speech, reaction from around the world
Okay, so!
About the vid.
Around the twenty minute mark, he began talking about the issue of Iraq. During this time, he vowed the removal of all combat brigades by August, and the removal of all troops from Iraq completely by 2012.
During and after withdrawal, we will partner with both Iraq and Pakistan, to help rebuild and strengthen both countries.
Now, the troop withdrawal is something I can't complain about, even if I'm skeptical about it. But to be helping not one, but two countries to build schools, hospitals, etc etc etc, when our own economy is already failing? It's hard enough right now to support our own country in this economy, but to support two other countries in addition to ours . . .
Please explain to this dunce?
Then, at 42:20, he began speaking on the issue of women's rights, in particular as it affects women in Muslim majority countries.
"A woman who is denied education is denied equality."
"I am convinced that our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons."
"Our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity, men AND women, to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal. And I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles.
But it should be their choice. That is why America will partner with any Muslim majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams."
My only reaction to this was, "Easier said than done." There is a reason why many Muslim women in those countries are made to stay at home, and are not allowed an education. The men who rule the countries and those homes strongly believe that it is not a woman's place to be educated; a belief that is rooted in their interpretations of the Qu'ran. Mr. Obama emphasized his respect for the fact that people have different religions, different beliefs. How, then, can he go and say that they must give up their belief that women are to stay at home, and only learn what they must know to run their husband's house?
Surely he doesn't expect this issue to go away any faster than the other issues he addressed.

There's a fat groundhog in the back yard, and it's being ever so helpful by eating the weeds near the old vegetable plot.
I love groundhogs!! Sometimes I wish I could have one for a pet. But that's the kind of thinking that can ruin a species.

Now that the early-blooming flowers have died back, it's time for maintenance, so I spent the morning with Mom, weeding out the back yard, the strip on the driveway, and the right-side yard.

Finally:
Remember black kitty?
It's a boy.
All this time we thought it was a girl.
He's just that young that his stuff didn't show until now.
It explains his aggressiveness lately.
And. Now there's the problem of getting them both fixed before they're old enough to make a problem of it.
Especially if they want to keep him from spraying.
And now we've started calling him Loki.
Because it just fits him so much better than Ebony.

Note to self: go about changing passwords.
Um.
Wow, I have a lot of accounts.
Yahoo, being the whore she is, has sold out my music channel.
It used to be free.
It used to be that I could put in a search for the specific song I wanted to listen to, and provided it was in their database, I could listen to it. The entire thing. For free.
And I could rate it, 1-5 stars. I could rate the album it was on, and the artist who made it. I could watch the video, if there was one for that song, and rate that too.
I could add the song to my personalized channel, and share it with other people, regardless of whether they had a Y! account.
Now, the Y!Music section is being controlled by Rhapsody Music.
Now, you're only allowed to hear a 30-second clip of the song you want. You're still allowed to rate it.
But who the fuck rates a five-minute song on thirty seconds of sound?
How the hell do I know I really want it on my personalized list if I don't know how it sounds?
This prompted me to google for free internet radio.
I found Pandora.
Input a search for your favorite artist, and it will start off by playing a song by that artist, then after that it will play other songs by other artists that are similar in sound/genre to the artist you searched for. You can make multiple "channels" based on whatever sound you're in the mood for.
I've already made four channels. The first is a new-agey mix that started off with a search for Loreena McKennitt, and went on with Enya, tracks from LotR, and from there introduced me to other artists and songs from the same genre.
The second, a kinda-jazzy mix that began with Michael Buble. It mostly plays Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra with Tony Bennett and Harry Connick thrown in as a token. I'm gonna have to play around with this one a little for more variety.
Third is the vocalist channel, started off with Charlotte Church, moved to Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, mostly Sarah Brightman . . . Another I'll have to play around with.
Right now I'm listening to the classical, which I started with Pachelbel. At moment it's playing all guitar, relaxing songs, kind of like those guitar CDs my sister got me. And hey, sis, if you like those songs, I'm not sure whether it'd turn up in a search, but look for "Hapuna Sunset", by Charles Michael Brotman.
Okay, now it's playing Hawaiian artists, probably playing on ukeleles. "Amazing Grace".

The Pope.
Has a Facebook.
Pope on Facebook in attempt to woo young believers
I went out in the garden and finally dug up the Star of Bethlehem clusters that were growing in the side yard. Potted them.
With some difficulty.
One of which being a large spider investigating the disturbance of its territory.
The neighbors aren't used to hearing screams at this time of day. All their kids are at school.
Finally I uprooted (hopefully) all of the bulbs.
But there's still the ones that jumped over to the front yard.
And I was told that I'm not allowed to dig holes in the front yard.
Considering how fast they can spread, and the fact that they WILL choke out other plants, it makes me worry for the crocuses, which have to wait until the fall before I can dig them up and multiply.
But.
YAY! I finally got experience dividing bulbs!
And my compost pile is coming along well. It's more than doubled since a week ago.
Note to self: No more whole egg shells.
And I need to look for a storage container. Dark one.
Think one of those Rubbermaid 10-gallon storage bins they sell at Walmart. (aka I can't find a linked example)
Maybe a small one at first.
Not a huge one right away. Compost pile is still small.
And I have to work on getting Mom to remember to add to the pile instead of adding the scraps to the trash.

The kitties were so cute today.
Soon as I sat down on the couch next to where they were sleeping, they got up, clambered into my lap (one on each leg), leaned on my chest, and took turns touching their noses to mine and sniffing my face, then both meowed at me and started purring.
Two rumbling, vibrating furballs on my lap.
Kneading.
I was trapped.
At least, I was until Mike brought a can in, and started tapping on their food bowl.
So, I was laying on the bed, reading a book as is my wont, when I heard a sound, like something heavy being dragged across the wood floor.
I looked up, and through the crack in the partially-open door, I saw the kittens' food bowl slowly creeping along the floor.
o_o
Then the sight of Flipper's nose mashed against the side of the food bowl as she crept along on her belly.
O_o
Meanwhile, Ebony did a somersault right into the water bowl, and decided she would just hang out there for a couple minutes.
She just sat there, waist-deep in the water, pawing at it.
Pawing at it.
Having had a puppy, and now the experience of somewhat helping to raise kittens . . . I can say with confidence that kittens make for a lot more laughs.
They can also be attention hogs.
I was taking a nap after draining my energy by jogging during the heat of the afternoon.
What did I awake to?
A little black paw ever-so-gently touching my cheek.
Then a little black nose touching itself to the same cheek.
Paw again.
*Mrow!*
Sandpaper tongue kitty food breath.
Okay, okay, I'm up!
Oi.
Most of the time, Ebony likes to snuggle up to whoever's sleeping. Flipper will, too, but she's so full of energy that it happens a lot less often.
There have been times when I fell asleep on my side, and woke up to Ebony curled up either right against my chest or my stomach, and Flipper curled up behind my knees.
They're always in the same place. Ebony in front of me, Flipper behind me.
I wish a lot of times I could bring them home.

Rules:
Go to urbandictionary.com and type in your answers to the following questions.
Post the first-ish definition it gives you.
Take at will. I ain't taggin'.
1) Your name: Constance
the best most hxc person, sxe hating, moshpit loving, interesting, random, most creative, origional All Time Low fan of SD, SURS loving fuse watching, myspace surfing person ever.
2) Your age: 25
The age at which one can finally rent a car in the United States without being charged enormous amounts of money and without having to sign thousands of papers for that matter.
3) One of your friends: Marisa
A very happy, bubbly person who laughs a lot. Usually a brunette with curly hair. A Marisa is confident and has many friends.
4) What should you be doing: Dishes
1. The most vile and unacceptable chore known to all people still living at home with their parents.
2. A chore that is required by most parents for their children so that they may earn a lousy allowance.
3. Something that needs to be clean so that one may eat.
5) Favorite color: Silver
It's All Good; Everything is all good.
6) Birthplace: Philadelphia
Philadelphia isn't just a city that lies between the shadows of New York and Washington, it is a city where the Eagles are the topic of dinner conversation year round. It is where a meal consists of a cheesesteak, Natty light, soft pretzels, and Tasty Kakes for dessert. It is where there is a Wawa on every corner, and you look forward to the 1st day of Spring when Rita's gives out free "wooder" ice. It is where you know it's a hoagie, not a sub and the shore, not the beach. Most importantly, where everyone is brothers and it is ok to say hello to someone you don't know if they are a birds fan. That is Philadelphia, the city of Brotherly Love... Outsiders will never understand.
7) Month you were born: February
February is the best month of the year. Its still nice and cold and snowy, but you know that spring is just around the corner if you're tired of all the bad weather. February is also the most unique month. 28 days long,(unless its every four years on a 'leap' year)
Valentines day is also in February. (the fourteenth)It's a fun holiday named after St. Valentine, and it's for cute happy couples. Many single or unhappy peope celebrate the anti Valentines day, ie. Singles awareness day.
People born in February are without a doubt the Cutest, Smartest, and Funniest set of people. If you are born after the 20th, you are also a PISCES. This is the best Zodiac sign.
(People seem to always forget Aquarius . . . which is what I am)
8) One of your nicknames: Do I have a nickname? Um. Connie
short nickname for constance also a friendly person.
Pics of the babies!
First off: Flipper, the older by a couple months.

Finally, the "AWWWWWWW!!!" pics (well, either that or lol):
You are Uhura

You are a good communicator with a pleasant soft-spoken voice. Also a talented singer.  |

If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand
Stay with me
Stay with me
In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more
Stay with me
Stay with me
You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world
Coz when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own world
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay, stay with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay with me

Okay, so I finally moved the lavender. Whether it was successful still has to be seen.
::contemplates the ew factor in posting a picture of the state of the compost::
I wish the damn weather would stop yo-yo-ing. I hate feeling sick when the cause is nothing more than the weather's indecisiveness.
And I hate being female.
The seedlings are coming along nicely despite the infrequency and shortness of sunlight in recent days.
The herb seedlings are. The flowers haven't germinated yet.
Basil seems to be doing well, if a bit slow as yet. That's probably because I'm starting to leave it by the window at night, when it's still going down to 40, possibly below that.

I was going to post about something.
Gladiolus callianthus. I wish I could grow. But it apparently gets just a bit too cold here.
Phlox.
Phlox subulata 'Coral Eye' and 'Sapphire Blue'; Phlox douglasii 'Admiral White'.
Saxifraga x arendsii.
No, you don't need to understand any of that.
All you need to know is that they're kinds of flowers that I would like to grow, sometime in the near future, if not now.
The only challenge is finding seeds from which to grow them.
Walmart has some already grown.
But.
It's Walmart. The plants are in very poor condition, and probably won't last very long upon being transplanted.
The side gardens are in desperate need of weeding.
THERE'S A CROCUS!!!
I've been almost obsessively searching for crocus bulbs, to plant in the yard.
With no results whatsoever.
NO one has had them.
Then it rained Friday.
And they popped up.
The Crocuses.
Royal purple with a touch of white in their throats, they gazed heaven-ward, almost seeming to be reaching, the way a child reaches up trying to touch the sky.
Then it rained even harder. And now they're not in bloom. But now I know they're there, and I'll have to wait until autumn before digging them up and dividing the baby roots from the parent. EEEEEE!!! I'm so excited!!
Possibly . . . Crocus biflorus var. taurii. Aka Scotch crocus.
Or maybe Crocus tommasinianus. Early crocus.
Other than that, there have been other flowers popping up that no one deliberately planted there. Little white flowers popping up next to the purple azalea, on the shady side. Big fat clover leaves all over the place. I think they're loving the rainy weather, or something. They seem to be most alive on days it rains. But there's also this other plant . . . I don't even know what it is. I've found a few branches sticking right out of the purple azalea, and another couple branches firmly entrenched in the driveway lot.
I know I'm going to have to dig up both the evening primrose and the bleeding hearts that have been growing there. Wouldn't want them going wild in the neighborhood, especially considering how invasive AND poisonous the primrose can be. I don't want the neighborhood critters dying of eating the stuff.
Then there's these bulb plants popping up. I don't know what they are, as yet. Won't know until they bloom, which . . . I have a feeling won't be until early to mid summer.
Mom wants to move the Russian sage bush. Not sure where it might be put, though.
MY HERBS!!!
Little teeny tiny sprouts!!
No pictures right now.
But I just planted them on Thursday night!! They grew fast!
In the meantime, the plant that I'm pretty sure is the lavender is ready to be moved. But every time I HAVE time, either I don't feel like it, or I end up having to do something else.
Erm.
I also planted some others, which I can't remember right now.
