For Hallowe’en, that is.
I had a heck of a time changing the theme and updating some plugins, but all is well now.
We’ve got a scary creature set up at the door. The kid’s costume is set. For those that don’t celebrate Hallowe’en, I have my own plans (muah-haahahahaha).
It’s been kind of strange and upsetting period with me lately, but things are getting better all the time.
I get a kind of wanderlust in the fall, but I used up all my vacation time. Once my mom gets home from the hospital, I might be taking a couple of weekend road trips to help her out, but I’d really prefer to go west or north. Or both.
I’ve got nothing to say, but it’s ok. All you need…

Your Element Is Air
|
You dislike conflict, and you’ve been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don’t go your way, you know they’ll blow over quickly.
Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.
You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you’re an open person. With you, what you see is what you get… and people love that!

How You Live Your Life
|
You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness.
You’re laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think.
Your friends tend to be a as quirky as you are – which is saying a lot!
You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren’t attainable.

My score on
The Beatles Song Character Test:
Jude
(You scored 38 shyness, 25 bitterness, 54 moral, and 32 eccentric!)
Hey Jude! You are the average Joe/Jane, a decent person striving to make their place in the world. Full of hopes and dreams, but one of the things you want most is that special person to spend your life with. Don’t despair if you can’t seem to find them – you’re a prize!
“And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.” – ‘Hey Jude’

My score on
The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test:
The Individualist
Enneagram type is FOUR (aka “The Romantic“)
“I am unique”
Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.
How to Get Along with Me
Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
Though I don’t always want to be cheered up when I’m feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
Don’t tell me I’m too sensitive or that I’m overreacting!
What I Like About Being a Four
my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
my ability to establish warm connections with people
admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
being unique and being seen as unique by others
having aesthetic sensibilities
being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me
What’s Hard About Being a Four
experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don’t deserve to be loved
feeling guilty when I disappoint people
feeling hurt or attacked when someone misunderstands me
expecting too much from myself and life
fearing being abandoned
obsessing over resentments
longing for what I don’t have
Fours as Children Often

Stephen Colbert suggested a mashup between The Beatles’ White Album and traditional Christmas songs. The response – well, see for yourself. Keegan Grayson has a long list already – go see! There is also a download for you to mash your own combinations, and as some are better than others there is plenty of room for your own version. Here are just a few from the list:

It’s fitting that the number one song the week I was born was “Can’t Buy Me Love” by The Beatles. It was pretty much the start of the explosion of their popularity here in the States. Just nine months before it was “Blue Velvet” (Bobby Vinton) which I’ve always liked despite that twisted movie.
Fun little thing – thank you to my devil in Hell’s Kitchen!
