 You're an uber-perfect person who is on the top of Santa's list. You probably didn't even *think* any naughty thoughts this year. Unless you're a Mormon, you've probably been a little too good. Is that extra candy cane worth being a sweetheart for 365 days straight? |

I used to love candy canes, but now I always end up cutting my tongue, or otherwise injuring myself with them. I think I liked them as a child primarily because we didn't really get too much store-bought candy at Christmas. Mom made dozens and dozens of cookies every year though, and...mmmmm...fudge. I love fudge.Twosome: and Peppermint-- or cinnamon scented candles and such? Which do you prefer when you walk into a home or business this time of year? ...or maybe even fresh evergreen from a real tree?
When I eat candy canes, I ONLY eat the red/white kind. Those with the green stripe...taste like Nyquil.
Oh, and that story about candy canes and Jesus...give me a break, ok?
I love the smell of fir/pine, freshly cut (or really, any wood, freshly cut--brings back memories of my dad's shop); unfortunately, I'm allergic to it. I like cinnamon better than peppermint, although since I now have 4 cinnamon scented candles--several of them were gifts--I'm getting very tired of it!Threesome: sticks-- ..or schtick? ..or even maybe kitsch? Yeah, what is your most un-favorite piece of Christmastime memorabilia? That display at the hardware store? The "Simpsons Nativity"? That ornament you made in third grade that still ends up on the tree each year? Inquiring minds and all that...
Far too many kitschy things about this season to name...I'll stick with stuff that we do that I kind of wish we could stop: the Macy's Parade, obligatory viewing on network TV of Rudolph, Charlie Brown, Grinch (the original ONLY), and {{shudder}} Frosty the Snowman (both). I hate them.
As for aged ornaments, this year I didn't hang the wooden set of ornaments I painted when I was 12, nor did I put up the set of plastic bells that I've had on my Christmas trees since before I remember. There are a quite a few ornaments that I just left in the boxes. And the tree actually looks much better for it!
| Pretty in Pink Your life mostly resembles Pretty in Pink. You have some financial difficulties, but because of them you are more creative. You are prone to having a sidekick who follows you everywhere because you are so cool.  Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com |

1. In one remaining OCD behavior from childhood, I have to keep my chewing balanced, so if I have one cookie, I have to either split it carefully in half and chew one half on each side of my mouth, or go get another cookie. I usually go for choice #2. It makes it hard to diet.Hopefully those are sufficiently quirky to scare away all the wierdos. OK, just the weirdos I don't know.
2. It is nearly impossible for me to leave my house once. I have to leave, drop everything in the car, realize I forgot my keys (see #5) and go back in the house for them, leave again, realize I need the checkbook and go back in the house for it, leave again, realize I didn't grab my lunch and go back in the house. Beast no longer even says goodbye properly until I've returned at least once. His usual goodbye now is "See you shortly."
3. I like to clean bathrooms and doing dishes. I do not necessarily want a job cleaning other people's bathrooms, or washing they dishes, but I find it very zen and calming. Kind of like a bath (I love baths). It's all that water. You'd think I was a fish. I can't even swim, and I'm not a Pisces, or even an Aquarius. Perhaps it's because I grew up in a relatively arid part of the country, so water was so valuable and wonderful. Or, I'm just nuts.
4. I read while curling my hair. Also while drying it. Remember the "Farrah hair" of the 70s, where girls curled and flipped all along that shag cut. I spent a solid 35 minutes every morning curling and flipping my hair--in the dining room, having been banished from the bathroom by my irritated parents. That 35 minutes was a long time to stare at the mirror. So I just check the mirror to get the curling iron set and rolled, read a paragraph, click the release, and move on. Same thing with drying
hair, more or less.
5. I'm not sure if this counts, but when life is rolling fairly smoothly, I tend to lose my keys, lock them in the car, forget them at home... Work keys, car keys, house keys, whatever. When Beast is out of town, I don't think I've locked my keys in the car once. He's had to rescue me at least 3 times, driving from work to whatever parking lot I'm standing in. I never lock my phone inside; just my keys. I now have a hidden key on the truck, which I've mostly had to use IN MY GARAGE. Just imagine the swearing that goes on as I lie on the concrete groping under the
frame trying to remember exactly where I stuck the box.... It's just not pretty.

Many female singers make use of their range, but it's Mariah Carey who is known for her five octave voice range Mariah also utilizes "melisma," the practice of singing single syllable words over several notes. You might not be able to reach those high notes like Mariah, but who's to say that you couldn't hold your own in a reality-based music show like American Idol or Making the Band? You might not be making your own music, but chances are that you've fantasized about being a rock star for a day...maybe even Courtney Love. Hey, it's just one day.
If you were lucky enough to attend one of the Live 8 concerts organized to bring worldwide attention to the abject poverty in Africa, you were part of an historic event. Yes, the music was loud enough to be heard, and even loud enough to make your ears ring, but unless you were one of the lucky souls up front, hopefully you still have most of your hearing intact. And, as you are well aware of, large venue or small, music needs to be heard to be appreciated.
You don't need to display your talents in front of a crowd. You are happy to perform in the shower, in your car, or anywhere else you can't be heard by other people. Is this because you're shy, or do you suspect that some straight-talking Simon Cowell (American Idol's judge) might deliver the verdict, "That was terrible, I mean just awful"? Fortunately, we can all have great music style by living vicariously through our favorite artists.

Blogs are nothing new to you – you've weathered your share of blogstorms and maybe even started a couple yourself. You may remember reading "weblogs" in 1997, when Jorn Barger started "logging the web" in Robot Wisdom. Since then, the "blogosphere," the total of blog-related websites, has exploded. As a blog guru, you've probably encountered blog novelties out such as the milblog, a soldier's military chronicle. "Dark blogs" are no mystery to you either – you might even be a member of these hidden, invitation-only websites.Found this on an ad on someone's* website. I don't normally click ads, but...well...there ya go.
Your blog style takes you beyond the fluff of the blogosphere and into the substance. Blogs can be a powerful and informativeresource. Some blogs pool collective wisdom; others pull readers together for collective political action. Many blogs sprouted up during the Iraq conflict to provide grassroots news coverage. Blogs give everyone a chance to be heard, even the trolls (disruptive bloggers). Of course, you can always "blurk" – listen without posting – instead. However you participate, it's an interesting ride.
Your blog probably hasn't yet made a splash on blogrolls (lists of links on a blog) everywhere. You've yet to be the target of a blogfoo (oblique reference in a blog post). Blog junkie or not, you'll find your niche in the blogosphere. Karyn Bosnak found hers through simple chutzpah. A taste for Prada had landed Karyn in $20,000 credit card debt. Miss Karyn launched a thread on savekaryn.com to "bleg" (beg on a blog) for cash. Six months later, she was back in the black.

| You Have a Melancholic Temperament |
 Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to overthink small things, making decisions difficult. |
The Life Path 6 indicates that very prominent in your nature is a strong sense of responsibility. You are idealistic and must feel useful to be happy. The main contribution you make is that of advice, service and ever-present support. This is the Life Path related to leadership by example and assumption of responsibility, thus, it is your obligation to pick up the burden and always be ready to help. The Life Path 6 is one who is compelled to function with strength and compassion, a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal and material resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding are the cornerstones of this Life Path. Your extraordinary wisdom and the ability to understand the problems of others is apt to commence from an early age allowing you to easily span the generation gap and assume an important role in life early on. While the 6 may assume huge responsibilities in the community, the life revolves around the immediate home and family, for this is the most domestic of numbers. Most with Life Path 6 are the positive types who willingly carry far more than their fair share of the load and are always there when needed. You are very human and realistic about life, and you feel that the most important thing in your life is the home, family and friends.I've italicized that with which I agree.
The number 6 Life Path actually produces few negative examples, but there are some pitfalls peculiar to the path. Avoid a tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to others. Also, avoid being too critical (of yourself or of others). The misuse of this Life Path produces tendencies towards exaggeration, over-expansiveness, and self-righteousness. Imposing one's views in an interfering or meddling way must be an issue of concern. The natural burdens of this number are heavy, and on rare occasions, responsibility is abdicated by persons with this Life Path 6. This rejection of responsibility will make you feel very guilty and uneasy, and it will have very damaging effects upon your relationships with others.
Chestnut Tree, the HonestyI'm doing the rest of my family before I move on from this quiz:
Of unusual beauty, does not want to impress, well-developed sense of justice, vivacious, interested, a born diplomat, but irritable and sensitive in company, often due to a lack of self-confidence, acts sometimes superior, feels not understood, loves only once, has difficulties in finding a partner.
The number 3 Life Path is one that emphasizes expression, sociability, and creativity as the lesson to be learned in this life. Here we are apt to find the entertainers of the world, bright, effervescent, sparkling people with very optimistic attitudes. A truly gifted 3 possesses the most exceptional creative skills, normally in the verbal realm, writing, speaking, acting, or similar endeavors. The lesson to be learned with a 3 life path is that of achievement through expression. The bright side of this path stresses harmony, beauty and pleasures; of sharing your creative talents with the world. Capturing your capability in creative self-expression is the highest level of attainment for this life path. The characteristics of the 3 are warmth and friendliness, a good conversationalist, social and open. A good conversationalist both from the standpoint of being a delight to listen to, but even more importantly, one who has the ability to listen to others. Accordingly, the life path 3 produces individuals who are always a welcome addition to any social situation and know how to make others feel at home. The creative imagination is present, if sometimes latent, as the 3 may not be moved to develop his talent. The approach to life tends to be exceedingly positive, however, and your disposition is almost surely sunny and open-hearted. You effectively cope with all of the many setbacks that occur in life and readily bounce back for more. It is usually easy for you to deal with problems because you can freely admit the existence of problems without letting them get you down. You have good manners and seem to be very conscious of other people's feelings and emotions. Life is generally lived to the fullest, often without much worry about tomorrow. You are not very good at handling money because of a general lack of concern about it. You spend it when you have it and don't when you don't.He's also a Chestnut Tree:
On the negative side, a 3 may be so delighted with the joy of living that the life becomes frivolous and superficial. You may scatter your abilities and express little sense of purpose. The 3 can be an enigma, for no apparent reason you may become moody and tend to retreat. Escapist tendencies are not uncommon with the 3 life path, and you find it very hard to settle into one place or one position. Guard against being critical of others, impatient, intolerant, or overly optimistic.
Typically, the life path 3 gives an above-average ability in some art form. This can encompass painting, interior decorating, landscaping, crafts, writing, music, or the stage, or all of the above. You are apt to be a happy, inspired person, constantly seeking the stimuli of similar people. Your exuberant nature can take you far, especially if you are ever able to focus your energies and talents.
[This, generally, could not be further from the truth...]
Of unusual beauty, does not want to impress, well-developed sense of justice, vivacious, interested, a born diplomat, but irritable and sensitive in company, often due to a lack of self-confidence, acts sometimes superior, feels not understood, loves only once, has difficulties in finding a partner.
The keys to the nature of a Life Path number 9 person are compassion, generosity, and a very humanitarian attitude. This is the lesson that must be learned in this life. Usually this number produces an individual that is very trustworthy and honorable, and one unlikely to harbor any sort of prejudice. Obviously, this is a rather tall order, but you are, in fact, a person that feels very deeply for individuals less fortunate than yourself, and if you are in a position to help, you certainly will. You tend to be quite sensitive, as you see the world with much feeling and compassion. The 9, being the highest of the single digit numbers, holds an elevated position and poses certain responsibilities. The purpose of life for those with a 9 life path is of a philosophical nature. Judges, spiritual leaders, healers and educators frequently have much 9 energy. Material gains are not overly important, although the quality of some life path 9 people is such that they are materially rewarded in very significant ways. Often, the number 9 life path requires a very selfless attitude and the giving up of material possessions for the common good. Even the very average of those with life path 9 possess extremely compassionate tendencies. The desire to help others, especially the troubled or underprivileged, is strong. You are apt to frequently find yourself being used and let down by others, as your generosity is misused and abused.
The number 9's very deep understanding of life is sometimes manifested in the artistic and literary fields. Here you may be able to express your deep emotional feelings through painting, writing, music, or other art forms. Often, however, there is a great deal of difficulty finding a suitable outlet for the 9 Life Path. The 9 is usually well suited to the helping and healing professions; the number is less inclined to the competitive business environment.
You have the ability to make friends very easily, as people are attracted to your magnetic, open personality. You have a special gift of understanding people, which if used correctly can be of great benefit to others. Your interest in people tends to make you quite social. People just naturally like you because you are so sympathetic, tolerant and broad-minded. In many ways, you are a romantic that can get lost in your loves and passions. Relationships can be difficult for you, however, because it is hard to strike a balance that will work effectively. If your partner is one sharing your giving attitudes, the relationship will be happy and lasting. On the other hand, if you choose a partner whose focus is on material issues, problems will arise quickly.
As do all the life path numbers, the 9 has its negative side, and because of the demanding nature of the truly positive 9, many tend to fail in this category. It is not uncommon for persons with the 9 life path to fight the realities and challenges of purpose imposed here because selflessness is not an easy trait. You may have difficulty believing that giving and a lack of personal ambition can be satisfying. It must be realized and accepted that little long-term satisfaction and happiness is to be gained by rejecting the natural humanitarian inclinations of this path.
[There are whole chunks of this that seem completely wrong, there are chunks that are currently a little wrong--because of his age. It's a little hard to see some of this in a 12-year-old!]
The Faithfulness - Strong, muscular, adaptable, takes what life has to give, happy content, optimistic, needs enough money and acknowledgment, hates loneliness, passionate lover which cannot be satisfied, faithful, quick-tempered, unruly, pedantic and careless.
[This, however, is pretty accurate!]
