rachg821. I ended up going to bed at 8:30 pm on the 4th of July. Even the booming fireworks didn't keep me up. How's that for a heavy sleeper.[/says the chick who's slept through multiple earthquakes before]
2. I shouldn't have complained about the cool weather. It is now blazingly hot. But at least my prescription sunglasses should be ready soon. Woo & hoo.
3. My migraine is finally better today, thank God. It was frakking horrible yesterday.
4. Did you guys know that Cherry Coke is like the best thing ever? I hadn't had it since I was a kid, then poured myself a glass just now & was like: !!! I may drink the entire 2-liter before the night is over, I'm just saying.
5. I've been a bit sad this week, so I had a mini Gilmore Girls marathon the other day to cheer myself up. It's been a long time since I watched some of the early eps. I'm remembering why I used to ship Luke & Lorelai so hard.
6. Regarding the sadness, I still keep putting off doing a longer flocked post to get into it. I think I need to though. Maybe later tonight? Probably. I don't know. It's gonna be kinda random & heavy, so it's like "gah, where I do even start…" I'll try to anyway though, soon.
7. I wish my back door didn't face other people's back doors. When it's warm out like this, I have to open things up if I don't want to melt, and then I end up with these neighbors standing around on porches looking over & being loud & UGH. So annoying.
8. I'm feeling complainy tonight, so one more whine: my stomach is bloated. I shouldn't have had salsa with my dinner. I'm totally like Homer with the forbidden donut. I NEVER LEARN.
9. After weeks of obsessively following the Casey Anthony trial, I got to see the verdict come in live on TV yesterday. I still personally think she's guilty (HELLO, THE COMPUTER SEARCHES), but I can understand/respect why the jury acquitted her for murder 1. Not everyone interprets "reasonable doubt" the same way, after all, and it's totally different deciding something like that from home on your couch than it is on a jury--especially when there's a potential death sentence involved. Let's just hope she doesn't have any more kids after this though. Oy.
10. Who's in the mood for a meme?

Here's what I got. I mostly agree with it, aside from one or two things.
Your Results
You are Passionate, Introspective, and Aesthetic.
---
Passionate
You are in touch with your emotions, and sometimes you react before you think. The good news: you don't tamp down your feelings. The bad news: you sometimes say or do things that you later wish you could take back.
You do not live your life on an even keel; you do not go for long periods without experiencing some mood swings.
Introspective
You like your own company; you're a very interesting person. Tracking your own mental processes, knowing what you're thinking and why you do what you do, is important to you. Often, what's going on in your mind is more compelling than what's going on outside. For the most part, those with a high score on the "introspective" trait enjoy reading, taking long walks, learning new things, and other solitary activities.
You are not someone who is constantly looking to be among a group of friends; you never feel bored when you are by yourself.
Aesthetic
You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. You have good taste, and you're proud of it. Those with a high score on the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.
You don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You're not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.
Organized
You like to think a task through before you embark on it. If it's the slightest bit complicated, you make a list (even if it's only in your mind) and methodically work your way through it. When you have a goal in mind, you're not satisfied until you reach it.
You are not one of those people who ignore the details, and you don't understand how anyone can get anything accomplished without thoughtful planning ahead of time.
Intellectual
You are thoughtful, rational, and comfortable in the world of ideas. People find you interesting to talk to. You're the living embodiment of the saying "You learn something new every day." In general, those with a high score on the "intellectual" trait are employed in such fields as teaching and research, and are enthusiastic about reading, foreign films, and classical music.
You do not avoid abstract conversation, experimenting with new ideas, or studying new things. It bores you to stick to the straight and narrow of what you already know.
Original
You are constantly coming up with new ideas. For you, the world as it exists is just a jumping-off place; what's going on inside your mind is often more interesting than what's going on outside.
You don't feel that the road to success is to be a realist and stick to the program; you never stop yourself from coming up with new ideas or telling the world what you're thinking about.
Curious
You like to get to the bottom of things. You're not content knowing what someone did; you want to know why they did it.
You don't simply take things as they are and move on; you're not content skimming along on the surface; you don't feel you're wasting time by digging for the meaning of things.
Scrupulous
You are an honest, fair person. You don't lie or cheat to get ahead. You treat others with respect and hope for the same in return.
You do not feel that you are above the rules that everyone else follows; you are definitely not willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead.
Innovative
You come up with a lot of ideas; if one doesn't work out, there's always another waiting in the wings. You often have interesting solutions to difficult problems. You're practically a one-person brainstorming session.
You are less interested changing the world than in dealing with things as they are. Unlike those who spend all their time trying to solve problems, you prefer to zero in on things that work and stick with them.
Creative
You are good at solving problems, coming up with original ideas, and seeing connections between things, connections that most other people miss. People with a high score on the "creative" trait often are employed in such fields as finance and scientific research, and enjoy avant garde and classical music as well as literary fiction and scholarly non-fiction.
You do not shun abstractions and concepts in favor of the concrete and tangible.

For my Vid of the Day, here's a bit of hilarity to make up for the whineyness above. This one made me laugh so hard, my stomach hurt, seriously.
