Wasn't S.E. Hinton a teenager when she wrote The Outsiders? I don't remember if that is the author I am thinking of. That book is required reading at my old high school.

how many have you read?

I admit it, I was a such a geek when I was a kid; all I did was read!
I defintely think Annie on My Mind-Nancy Garden, and The Giver-Lois Lowry are two books everyone should read at least once.
here's the site:.

here are my results...hoooly schmoly, i can't believe how dead on they are, and all you have to do is pick some colors, too!!.
Wow! This was dead on!
Your Existing Situation
Active, outgoing, and restless. Feels frustrated by the slowness with which events develop along the desired lines. This leads to irritability, changeability, and lack of persistence when pursuing a given objective.
Your Stress Sources
Wants freedom to follow her own convictions and principles, to achieve respect as an individual in her own right. Desires to avail herself of every possible opportunity without having to submit to limitations or restrictions.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.
Believes that she is not receiving her share--that she is neither properly understood nor adequately appreciated. Feels that she is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave her without any sense of emotional involvement.
An unadmitted lack of confidence makes her careful to avoid open conflict and she feels she must make the best of things as they are.
Feels cut off and unhappy because of the difficulty in achieving the essential degree of cooperation and harmony which she desires.
Wants interesting and exciting things to happen. Able to make herself well-liked by her obvious interest and by the very openness of her charm. Over-imaginative and given to fantasy or day-dreaming.
Your Actual Problem
Seeks to avoid criticism and to prevent restriction of her freedom to act, and to decide for herself by the exercise of great personal charm in her dealings with others.
Your Actual Problem #2Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics she admires and to display originality in her own personality.

I'll see you in Green Bay!

Hey Deb!
I know how you feel. I live only 45 minutes away from Green Bay, and I am still not sure if I will go. Maybe it is because I am completely socially retarded! How about we both overcome our *issues*, and just do it? We both know what a blast it will be!
just thought i'd introduce myself, and i didnt see a spot for newbie introductions, so i hope it's ok to put this here.
anyhow, here i am!
Hi Tinkerbell!
Glad you have made it here!
we changed the wedding from saturday in order to give the newlyweds a chance to spend the weekend relaxing and getting settled as an official couple.
also, by having it friday night there is a chance, a possibility, that big tex will be able to get the night off so he can give the bride away (*sniffle*).
and there is also a chance, a possibility, that our beloved district overbeer will perform the wedding.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
It's awesome when you find someone you can really click with!!!
Wow! I really don't get out much!

while the multiplex movie theaters are running "terminator 3" and the like, my husband and i seek out different fare.
three small independent movies which we recently saw are, "winged migration", about the migratory patterns of various birds -- amazing.
some species travel l2,500 miles each way from north to south poles and back again.
Some of my favorite indie movies are:
"Ma Vie en Rose"--it's in French, with subtitles, but worth it. It is about a young boy who wants to be a girl.
"All Over Me"--This film follows an out teenaged lesbian. Interesting and realistic.
"Just, Melvin"--This one was hard to watch. It is a documentary following the family of Melvin Just, a slimeball who raped and molested every female member of his family. It focuses on the incestous relationships, violence, and depression that stemmed from the horrific abuse.
"Waking Life"--I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard wonderful things about this movie from Orbiting!
