You are an SRDF--Sober Rational Destructive Follower. This makes you a font of knowledge. You are cool, analytical, intelligent and completely unfunny. Sometimes you slice through conversation with a cutting observation that causes silence and sidelong glances. You make a strong and lasting impression on everyone you meet, the quality of which depends more on their personality than yours.

You may feel persecuted, as you can become a target for fun. Still, you are focused enough on your work and secure enough in your abilities not to worry overly.

You are productive and invaluable to those you work for. You are loyal, steadfast, and conscientious. Your grooming is impeccable. You are in good shape.

You are kind of a tool, but you get things done. You are probably a week away from snapping.

Take the quiz here.



Went to see The Lion King last night, twas quite a nice show. <3 the costumes, Julie Taymor is a goddess. My sister and I were shocked to see how many people had showed up to the theatre in jeans and tee shirts. I was wearing a spaghetti strap floral dress and worried that I was under dressed. Um, nevermind.

The girls had their Founder's Day picnic this evening. Minor moments of panic when we realized that our planned group of 30 had swollen to 44, but sending the troops for reinforcements cleared things up right away. But 44 people! We had most of our Pledge group, all but one of our girls, and 3 prospects. Yay for progress!

Gearing up for Grand Assembly next week. Kenyon College is haunted, y0. We're taking the girls on a tour of the cemetary and the other haunted places on campus. Gonna be lots of fun, I can tell already.

I have surgery the week after that, and my recovery time. Have started my core training program. I was surprised that I passed 8 of 10 of the trouble spot exercises and found that my hips are my weak point, not my abs (they are in pretty damn good shape, actually).

Goals for post-op recovery:
Wake up
Remove all tubes and lines from body
Go home
See King Arthur - who cares about the legend? It's all about Clive Owen and Keira Knightley...I may spontaneously combust, or pop a couple of stitches.

Big hugs to tonksnymphadora, who really, really needs them right now.

And I miss hastyent even more after I talk to her. :-(

Ug, what do you have to have surgery on? I wish you the best! Hopefully they won't put staples in you, cuz, man that's just weird to see. Whatever the scar, I suggest getting some Vit E oil (GNC has a really good one) and put it on a lot right after. It should help minimize the scarring.

Oh, thanks for the advice! I'll get some vitamin E oil (I have to test it out to be sure that I'm not allergic to it) along with my liquid vitamins and glycerin swabs.

I'm having a smooth muscle tumor removed from my stomach - it's blocking the exit to the small intestine. They'll remove 25-30% of my lower stomach and reattach it to the small intestine. I want to be sure I'm in good shape before I go in there so I'll recover faster.

Oh ouch! I had an ovary rupture (ah, well, it's back together for the most part now...) so that's my surgery experience. Getting cut open anywhere in the ab area isn't cool. I never realized how used those muscles are until every bit of them hurt :) Definetly a good idea to be in good shape before hand. And, even if it sucks a lot, get up and moving as quick as you can. I did a lot of walking (and I so damned the nurse to hell who woke me up that first morning and made me walk down the hallway...) but it helps in the long run. The pain'll go away a lot faster if you get blood circulating and muscles moving.

Hope they give you good drugs :) Hehe.

I hate the drugs! - hate anything that makes me feel out of it. My
mom was the same way, and I understand why now.

But yeah, I want to be in good shape going in so things will come
together better on the other side of the knife. My sister is a PTA
and will be working me out tough to minimize scarring and get me back
to full power asap.
