Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test...

Mrs. Black

Your perfect HP man is Sirius Black.

You want a relationship filled with fun times, with a guy who you know will always back you up. Sure, he's a bit of a jerk with anyone who he doesn't approve of, but as long as he likes you, he'll be a lot of fun. Your days will be filled with laughter and merriment, though if you ever have kids, you'd better be prepared to lay some rules down or else they'll end up with a bunch of reckless rule breakers running around, transforming into animals at every turn.

Confessions of a Fangirl

EDIT:  Thank you isenglass for the userpic! 
I still like the Battle-Cry...

Squeeeeeeee!
Okay, so I got hooked on this artist long ago, and have slowly been bringing my friends  to the dark side.  When I got an email on Tuesday that Angie Aparo would be in town last night, I was on a mission!  Thankfully, there were several folks who wanted to go, but honestly, I would have stood there all by myself to bask in the vocal stylings of Mr Aparo!  It was, however, more fun with friends and their antics (or urging my antics). Thanks to you guys & gals for indulging me! 

There were shenanigans during the show, some of which I took part in (very proud of myself BTW for being brave in several areas last night).  Angie really is a one man musical comedy show.  Well, that is, he plays great music and has the side bonus of being terribly funny, NOT comical singing.  His opener was none other than the vocalist for Colourslide, Alex Lawhon, in an acoustic set that we also had the pleasure to catch before Dino Drinking a few weeks before.  Alex's set last evening was fantastic as well and I think a good time was had by all!

How much do I love YouTube where I can listen to the Dr. Horrible songs until my heart is content!  Happy Happy, Joy Joy! 

'...because I hold a PhD in Horribleness!' 

Now, if only I could figure out how to dump them onto an MP3 player to take with me to Pennsic (I don't have an ipod yet)...hmmmmm

What crazy person heads off to Chicago the weekend before Pennsic when she has a mountain of packing and sewing to do??  Yep, that would be me!!

I am so glad I went, it was just the thing to de-stress me from my life.  I had a FANTASTIC time and was a little sad to come home.  There is so much I want to do and can't wait to go back.

Rudolph in July??

So who in the world gets a cold in the Summer? 

Yep, yep, that would be me. 

My nose it a nice shiny red to rival Rudolph on his best day, but no fever (thank goodness).  Luckily, my favorite Ginger Drink (compliments of the Fantabulous Asian Market in Cary (TM)) is really good for people with colds.  I am being a good girl and taking my Echinacea & Goldenseal  tablets every day, drinking my hot drinks, eating chicken noodle soup and applesauce (not together), and dosing my DayQuil, so I am BOUND to be feeling better soon. 

Guess I should stop burning my candle from the ends AND the middle, huh?

Your result for Which Chess Piece are You Test?...

The Queen's Bishop

Congrats! Only 3-5% of the population score this!

The Queen’s Bishop has charisma and social knowledge. It is this that draws so many under their ‘tutelage’. The Queen’s Bishop is a teacher and has the phenomenal interpersonal skill that sells them to others. It isn’t that they attempt to manipulate others – rather they really believe their dreams and see themselves as helpers. They usually are.


This Bishop is a global learner. They like to see the big picture. They are adept at juggling responsibilities and projects. This isn’t to say they are naturally organized, rather they are organized with people in mind. The conclusions they draw from others and their motives are drawn quickly. This Bishop knows people and appreciates them. They however have a problem with forgetting themselves and their own needs because they will frequently vouch for others. If people are too gruff or critical, these people are hurt and abused. Sensitivity must be used around the Queen’s Bishop because they burden themselves the most.


If anyone comes knocking with problems, they will drop their duties – regardless of the circumstance. If someone happens to call, they will answer it and take care of that conversation putting the first person on hold. If a quick question is posed by yet another – they will attend to that. They are honestly open to helping others – that is why it is hard to gain their undivided attention. Everyone knows this and tends to ask for a bit of time from them. Ever heard of the “Open Door” Policy?

So, I know I haven't posted in weeks, probably months, and I read even less often...BUT

I feel the need to test out the old ankle and see if it will let me do one of the things I LOVE to do...Ice Skate!  So my Friday night plans fell through and I am thinking that a Friday (March 7th) Night would be PERFECT!

I am still swamped with work, hence the long radio silence on all channels...but while I am waiting for this program to run, I thought I would give a VERY quick update!

My Holiday was great, but VERY busy. I expected to have long days of sitting and reading or sewing, but it didn't work out that way. Barely touched my computer, and that was nice. New Years in Atlanta was a trip, and I hope to put up a real post at some point with pictures.

Came back to a cold (or whatever it was) that totally knocked me out of commission for a few days. I am finally on the upswing now, just in time for 12th Night.

Well, back to work!

Oh and this is a total scream!!!

Raises bloodshot eyes from her computer...

Yes, I am alive and breathing.
Yes, I am still living in the Raleigh area
No, I am not dead, sick, or broken
No, I have not been abducted, kidnapped, or in any way absconded with

I am swamped with work.  I will be my bright, cheery, social self once I can get my head above water...promise!

Miss you all!
Little Lyn
 Yes, yes, I haven't done one of these in a while, not because life is boring (because it isn't) I just can't at work (usually) and once I get home (if I am not working more) I REALLY just don't want to look at my computer.  Therefore, a serious lack of posting...but not today...it is analysis central here and that means I have time to post...

So, here I am sitting at work with piles and piles of  work to do and I just can't seem to focus on any of it.  Oh, don't get me wrong, the work is getting done, it is just a struggle today. 

Soooo, while I am waiting for an analysis to run (which ties up most of my computer) I thought I would ramble here for a bit...seriously...it turned into a completely Lyn-like stream of consciousness ramble...I went back and organized it a little...

So there was a scary little trip around my brain...should have seen it before I organized the thoughts a little...you want to run now, don't you?  Hee hee hee...
