Another What Book Am I Quiz




You're The Guns of August!

by Barbara Tuchman

Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what
causes war. You're out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what they
really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealing
with what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in
the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can
diplomats."

at the Blue Pyramid.



I guess I should tell you the first time I took the thing, I was Lolita.

That necessitated another try... this book seems to be a much better fit :)

Evan Almighty

Go see it!

Thanks to CD, all 7 of us piled into the theater to watch this show.

I had serious reservations, which proved to be mostly unfounded.

PG ratings universally send a huge flag up for me.

That was until we saw Facing the Giants, which was PG because it was

GET THIS

unabashedly Christian.

Anyway... Evan Almighty was most enjoyable! Have a gander!

Worst Movie Ever?

  • Absolute drivel!
  • At least Plan 9 From Outer Space had a plot.
  • This "film" can be summed up with one word: horrible. It's horrible in every way.
  • Sub independent as I call it. Why is it that when this happens, 9 times out of 10 it’s a horror film. Every horror fan thinks they can be a film maker. This film is certainly evidence to the contrary.
  • With blow-up dolls as the autopsy victims and the worst "special" effects ever used, this movie rates in the negatives. Save yourself from needless suffering & run.
  • I hate giving this movie 1 star- it deserves much much less.
  • The supposed corpses are obviously just rubber props. They don't even try to make them look real, come on people, when a body receives major trauma they don't look like mannequins with their legs cut off.
Wow... I mean, it's like a rabid gang of flying monkeys have landed on the planet NetFlix. Could this REALLY be the worse movie EVER? The kind that isn't even funny when it's bad? With a topic so horrible that you wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. Eeek!

At least in the old days you could laugh at a movie this horrible - but I'm afraid to even watch this one.

A Perfect 10

My eldest child turns the big 1-oh! tomorrow.

Not too many years ago,
Moms of 10 year olds seemed
soooooo much wiser than I.

Heh.

Double Heh.

Well, it's definitely a live and learn situation
when you have 5 kids and a husband
running rings around you 24/7-365.

Ah, 10, I remember it all so well.

I knew what I wanted when I was 10.

-To speak German fluently
-To work overseas
-To teach
-To live in the countryside
-To marry a very good man
-To be a Mama

I have accomplished all I wanted to when I was 10.

Prayers going up that my eldest will do the same in God's good time.

D&D... many moons later

I Am A: Lawful Good Elf Ranger Paladin


Alignment:
Lawful Good characters are the epitome of all that is just and good. They believe in order and governments that work for the benefit of all, and generally do not mind doing direct work to further their beliefs.


Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.


Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.


Secondary Class:
Paladins are the Holy Warriors. They have been chosen by a God/dess to be their representative on Earth, and must follow the code of that deity, or risk severe penalties. They tend towards being righteous, but not generally to excess.
