Now there were some people that I thought were going to pick me. I guess I could have made it easy on myself and gone with them. But I didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I discovered, three people <i>wrote me notes<\/i>; but alas; none were the three that I wrote. I&#8217;m pretty sure I know who all three were&#8230; One has already verbally verified.<\/p>\n<p>So, I am spared the embarrassment of having told three net beings that I was sorta something about them. *LOL* You hope for the reaction to be all blushy and fluttery. You expect Cecily to tell you, &#8220;Oh, William. You&#8217;re beneath me.&#8221; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So, I could be all disgruntled and the lot&#8230; but there were three people that picked me. And that&#8217;s cool. If you&#8217;d like me to know it was you, feel free to write or comment. I&#8217;m touched and won&#8217;t embarrass you. Further if you&#8217;d like to ask if it was you that I set my less than respectable sights on; I&#8217;ll fess \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>On other meme type silliness. I made <a href=\"http:\/\/blunttruth.jaazsoftware.com\/takesurvey.cfm?uid=38591\">the 20 inanely shallow questions test.<\/a> This is one where you get to rank different aspects of me anonymously. Most are shallow, some try not to be; but are anyway on the merit of the medium.<\/p>\n<p>As of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/talkread.bml?journal=lordandrei&#038;itemid=102606\">last night I&#8217;d had 7 people<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m amused that my worst stat is the evaluation of my driving ability. It&#8217;s down to 5.5 and dropping consistently (10 is best) I&#8217;m amused because I&#8217;ve had less accidents driving in the past 18 years than some people have in a year. The count of accident&#8217;s I&#8217;ve caused is 0. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, my hair has taken a dive with a 5.6 *guess long just doesn&#8217;t buy it) Physical features are about a 6.4<\/p>\n<p>But someone has taken pity on me and my datability has risen to 6.5<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really take it all personally. If I did; I wouldn&#8217;t have put it out there \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m off to a training seminar in a few hours. So probably no posts until Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy your NSPS Day. try not to trip over anything Pink.
