Presents, Clocks, Ears, and Stuff

Click to get cool Animations for your MySpace profile

As bad as I felt yesterday, I did some (online) Christmas shopping. I had to, because there was an item I particularly wanted to get and it was being offered online at about half the normal price -- and yesterday was the final day for the sale price. I figured as long as I was buying that item, I might as well get a couple of others, too. It feels really good to already have a few Christmas present purchases under my belt. Each purchase reduces a little stress, you know what I mean?

I don't know what the heck was going on with my ear yesterday. I don't think it was cold-related, because my actual outer ear was swollen, sore, and red. I'm thinking perhaps a spider or something bit me. Thankfully, it's much better today, as are the cold symptoms.

Yesterday marked the change back to Standard time. I get so weary of changing a multitude of clocks, not to mention adjusting my internal clock, twice a year. I wish they -- the ubiquitous They -- would quit messing with the time. The only good thing about the latest change is that I don't have to get up in the dark for another six months. I still haven't reset my watch. Every attempt to pull the tiny little stem up resulted in another nail chip. Grrrrr.

I have for you today some Words Gone Wild spotted by Roxan. I'm not even going to attempt to define them. Rather, I'm simply going to throw them out here for you to gawk at. Sometimes, less is more.

I must say, I don't agree with these quiz results at all.

What Your Handwriting Says About You

You are a laid back person with rather low energy. You aren't lazy... you *are* sensitive and empathetic.

You are very extroverted and outgoing. You are loving, friendly, and supportive. However, you are also manipulative and controlling at times.

You are balanced and grounded. You know how to get along well with others.

You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.

You are conservative, old fashioned, and a little stubborn. You are resistant to change.

You are a decent communicator. You eventually get your point across, but sometimes you leave things a bit ambiguous.

***What Your Handwriting Says About You***


You are a fairly energetic person. You know how do pace yourself, and you deal well with stress.

You are somewhat outgoing, but you're not a natural extrovert. You think first before you act. You tend to be independent, rational, and logical.

You are balanced and grounded. You know how to get along well with others.

You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.

You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart.

You are a poor communicator. No one really knows exactly what you're getting at.


What a crock. LOL

Sorry you feel ill. Maybe it was sympathy pains for me. It worked, I felt no pain so thank you.

Little Miss Begotten sat on the cotton,
Eaten by bugs on the way,
When along came a spider,
bit ear outside her,
And added new meaning to an ear chewing.

Charles said...

Hey didn't say anything earlier, but I made a small online application, with the purpose of counting the words during the writing of 55 Flash Fiction, you can read about it on my blog.

Serena said...

What a crock.

That's what I thought, too, Roxan. LOL.:-)

Hey, Kan, if I worked a little sympathetic magic and you're feeling no pain, I'm glad! Funny definitions; thank you!:)

And thank YOU for the poem, Charles. How cute! I don't do 55s, but I'll certainly take a look at your application.:)

Whether ill or well, online shopping sounds like a great idea. :)
In a shopful of people at Christmas is never a pleasant place to be.

Serena said...

I find online shopping a huge convenience, Winters. And my credit card companies love me for it. LOL. Seriously, once the actual shopping rush gets started, I'd almost just as soon slit my wrists as be out in the middle of it.

With yer ear in such a sensitive condition ya ought to be careful when ya answer yer phone this week.

Iffin ya place the reciever on the wrong side of yer head, the person on the other end might just get an earful..of invective

Beware of Charlotons:
Charlotons are robotic copies of Charlton Heston. This not be a twisted linguistic. Them robots be more dangerous than the original.

copywright:
This is fer people who steal the comedic works of Stephen Write and pass it off as their own.

Me handwriting resuts:

You are highly energetic. You are a passionate, intense, vigorous person.

You are very extroverted and outgoing. You are loving, friendly, and supportive. However, you are also manipulative and controlling at times.

You are extravagant, over the top, and indulgent. You set trends and influence people.

You need a bit of space in your life, but you're not a recluse. You expect people to give you a small amount of privacy, and you respect their privacy as well.

You are somewhat traditional, but you are also open to change. You listen to your head and your heart.

Fer once Me got something that looks like the truth...


STOMP!

Hi Serena!!!
I'm so glad you feel better. Funny how shopping and buying stuff always make you feel better. Unless of course you are buying anti-freeze, or Imodium AD, or Ex-Lax or...whatever, you get the picture. Anyway, It's also great if you hate crowds.
Handwriting?

Let's see....
Sherry Sherry, Oh so sweet,
Crimson Hair, and sexy feet.
She's soon to be a household name,
When The Amazon Contest shows without a shadow of a doubt, that you THE most talented and insightful Authoress, in a Tri-State area, to ever pen a manuscript!!
(I know, it don't rhyme)
But it's true!!

Glad you're feeling better, tootsie-pop!

Serena said...

Scary, that depends entirely on who's on the other end of the phone. LOL. Love your definitions, dude. Yay!:)

Au contraire, G-man. Buying stuff only makes me feel better if I'm starving and it's food. Otherwise, it's much like the hooker creed: Get 'em in, get
'em up, get 'em off, and get 'em out. Except with shopping, it's get in there, elbow the big mamas out of the way, grab it, and get the hell out.

Another poem? Oooooo. Who cares if it rhymes? Or how good it smells? Listen, about that contest thingy, I'll be happy if I win a candy bar. Seriously:)

Thank you, Greeny, sweetie. I hope no one at your house has this crud.:)

You don't a lot of space, and you prefer to spend time with others. You are a little nosy and intrusive. You sometimes don't give people enough space.

You are a free thinker. You are unique, open minded, and artistic. You don't care what other people think.

You are a poor communicator. No one really knows exactly what you're getting at...

I was going to write a poem,but I'm feeling a little lazy.

Poem? you told us to write a poem?

Serena said...

Poor Sling. I felt much the same way after taking that test.:)

Oh, dear, /t. Just ... oh, dear.:-)

No poetry required, Mona. It was just lagniappe.:)

But how would we ever finish the harvest without daylight savings time??!!!

My car has headlights, which allows me to go to Kroger's in the dark to harvest.:-)

I bet you had a mutant sandworm crawl into your ear while you were sleeping, they enter while we're dreaming.
One of the first symptoms is a craving for ice cream, did you crave ice cream serena?
There is a 14 day gestation period then you explode and a new Serena emerges...kinda like a Stepford wife or something.

Serena said...

Thankfully, no, I haven't craved ice cream. That means it's not a mutant sandworm, right? And I'm not going to explode? Or get knifed in my bed by a Stepford Serena? Nope, I'm definitely not going to eat any ice cream.:-)
