Hey, Fiberbabe, you're an Observer!

You like television. That may be, but not that way. At parties, you lounge around on couches and watch other people flirt and act stupid. But at the same time, you're happy enough to go along with the group. OK, I'll give you that. You don't like drawing attention to yourself — red platform shoes or flamboyant, sequined outfits are out of the question. Then how do you explain this Carmen Miranda headdress I'm currently sporting? Hmmmm? A perfect evening for you means a cozy chat with a good friend and a pint of Haagen-Dazs. I prefer Ben & Jerry's. Gotcha.

Like all mellow folks, you're not too into serious soul mining. You'd rather just relax than freak out about yourself. But at the same time, you recognize that understanding your inner nature can help you further develop your sense of intuition, discover parts of yourself that remain below the surface, and learn how to better communicate with others. And that's cool, right? Whatever. I'm not gonna freak out about it.

At work, you're a team player, but chances are you aren't clamoring for that big promotion. Right. I just got the big promotion. Why worry? Where to go for lunch is enough of a decision for you. Um... about that... You work best under a routine, which explains why I go to the SAME PLACE for lunch every day! Weren't you listening to what you just said? and you avoid challenges that require too much improvisation. Like my improv class?

Hmmph. I liked their "What Breed of Dog Are You?" test better...

Hey, bridget, you're a Chosen One!

Wherever you go, you leave a trail of rose petals in your wake. well, i *do* love wakeboarding You may even have been Gandhi in a former life which explains why i'm always barefoot. Warm, giving, knowing, and patient, people try to get mad at you, but they feel terrible about it later. with the notable exception of my husband, who easily overcomes this obstacle As a child, you easily could have convinced your entire class to stage a sit-in against the math teacher, but you're too sweet. that's me.. sugar and spice Perky and armed with tons of self-confidence, you're not afraid to actively pursue your goals and dreams. yes, i'll be sure to let you all know when britney picks me for her backup dance squad

As if all that weren't enough, you pretty much set the standard for emotional health. You practically ooze positive feelings and energy. You don't worry about minor faults faults? i have faults? but recognize both your strengths and weaknesses. Your generally upbeat mood means it takes a lot to really bring you downmuch to the chagrin of the world's doomsayers, who simply think i'm immature. And you're no fair-weather friend. You care about people, and you see them through the good times and bad. yes, i think both of my friends would agree to this

At work, you're very reliable and responsibleso why, then, have i been fired from every job i've ever had, including the time i married the boss?. You bring in baked goods for your co-workers and always return phone calls (even to telemarketers)oh, dear...that's minus a gazillion points. i never, *ever* answer the phone. ever.. You'd be a great person in an emergency. Plus, you're really excited about your work (go, team!)that's Go CARDINAL to you, bub, and your personal commitment to finishing what you start means you're a great leader. So get out there and do the world some good mmhmm...riiiiiight

For you Mav I shall wait till the sun sets in its final rest and the earth slows to a standstill...or until you finally arrive.

(oh the variations of arrive I could use here...bite my tongue, bite my tongue, behave, behave)

I have it on good authority (and no I will blab) that Mav never "arrives" anywhere prematurely

Your pride shall not be dented by me, says she, swooning.

Bel, I can't believe you told on me! I shall magnanimously grant you your swooning time now, ma chérie--mav and I parted this afternoon with big grins on both our faces...

Packed what? Geez, you're a hopeless loser, you said you were doing it. But then again, given the speed with which the ground's rushing up, so am I. Hey, I've got a neat idea. Lend me your handkerchief! You won't need it after the next few seconds anyway ...

This is no time for that sort of thing, CK!

Ah - lucky we're over water - time for some skinny dipping
