As you can see from some of my recent posts, I've been testing out a few quizzes to see how I compare with other computer freaks. Even my son refers to me as a computer geek. I'm not sure if I should feel good about that or not. When you consider that the last 3 days I've fixed 3 different computers, I guess they wouldn't ring me if I wasn't nerdy. I've become alot more involved with the computers at work lately too, and have been doing lots of coding on the Junee Shire Council's website. I designed a couple of submission forms and set up a site search. One of the bosses is impressed with all my computer knowledge and I enjoy being able to fix things.

If you're like me and enjoy learning silly things about yourself, have a look at Blog Quiz of the Week, at About.com. There's an extensive list of some good quizzes, you're sure to see something that strikes your fancy. Of course, some are just too silly for words, and I don't even bother saving the results, but occasionally I come across something different. It's a little bit more stimulating that playing solitaire.

...May you always have Love to Share Health to Spare And Friends that Care...

I was curious as to the rating I would get for my weblog so I took a short quiz. I wasn't too surprised to see the result when you consider some of the images on this site, but there is little or no talk of sex.
This was my result:

Strongly Cautioned. Some material in your journal may be inappropriate to younger or close-minded people. This signifies that your journal is probobly inappropriate for pre-teens. People should be especially careful about adding you because they could possibly be offended. Rough or persistent violent talk is absent; sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some talk of drug use may be present from time to time in your journal; You may find a fair amount of sex talk here.

Take this quiz.

I'm an Angel. Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

Tonight I read many interesting blogs and discovered sites I will enjoy returning to, Bloggers Blog especially. They talk about the most talked about topics in the blogosphere. I spent a long time at the site reading the entries, not something I do often. Somehow my attention ended up getting diverted to Blogthings where I found this inanely unimportant meme.

Your Theme Song is Soak Up The Sun by Sheryl Crow

"I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up" You're laid back, optimistic, and very together Like the sun, people feel warm and comfortable around you

I must have been feeling in a good mood for the theme song quiz, and I particularly liked how I rated on this open-minded meme.

You Are 60% Open Minded

You are a very open minded person, but you're also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You're open to considering every possibility - but in the end, you stand true to yourself.

Today is my birthday. Happy Birthday to me :) I thought I'd share what my birth date means with you.

Your Birthdate: September 28

Your birth on the 28th day of the month (1 energy) adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your Life Path. The number 1 energy suggest more executive ability and leadership qualities than you path may have indicated. A birthday on the 28th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach. Unlike much of the other 1 energy, this birthday is one that endow with the ability to start a job and continue on until it is finished. You may prefer to use the broad brush, but you can handle details as well. You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed. You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations.

This is funny, because every time I do one of these quizzes, it comes back correct. I come from Irish ancestry, maiden name Flanagan. We were originally probably O'Flanagan. When I did the one for What Language are You it came back Australian, maybe not so strange. The personality-type ones have blown me out because they're pretty spot on. If you're into these fun little quizzes, I grabbed a couple of cool buttons. Feel free to click away.

Your Inner European is Irish!

Sprited and boisterous! You drink everyone under the table.
