It’s been a pretty rough week for your humble blogger — actually it’s been a pretty rough month, not counting a welcome and very enjoyable visit last weekend from Cranky Robert. I’ve had lots of late nights at the office recently, followed by soul-searching train rides home, surrounded by the oddballs who ride public transit after the regular commuters have all gone and wondering just which decisions brought me to this place where I so often feel like I have no life. I don’t even feel like I have much of an online life, anymore — it seems like forever and a day since I wrote anything on this blog that was really worth reading. Or since I’ve done much of anything else that truly matters. Did you know I used to write fiction once, about a thousand years ago in the Before Times? I like to think I was fairly good at it, too…

In any event, this self-pity party is explanation as to why my blogging lately has consisted primarily of memes, lolcats, and girlie pictures, and why you’re getting yet another quiz-thing today instead of something more substantive. And this background may also explain why I found the results of the quiz — which I’ve seen at Puffbird’s, Kisintin’s, and Ilya’s blogs as well — somewhat baffling. I don’t think of myself as much of an optimist even in my happiest moments, which this bleary-eyed morning definitely is not…

What do you folks think? Sound anything like me?

One of the few things The Girlfriend and I ever seriously disagree about is what constitutes an edible meal (and, by extension, what we should have for dinner). She’s — how shall I say this? — very selective with what she will and will not eat, whereas I pride myself on being willing to give just about anything a go. But am I just fooling myself? Am I truly all that adventurous? Let’s find out!

Here’s a meme courtesy of Javi that does a pretty good job of evaluating the adventurousness of one’s previous eating experiences and — more importantly — the items that force you to draw the line:

That’s all cool and all, but seriously, where’s my long, silken hair that never tangles or gets messed up no matter how much orc blood just washed over it? I don’t recall seeing any balding elves…

I found the following meme over at Puffbird’s LiveJournal. It’s actually one of those questionnaires that used to circulate via email before they started going to ground in the blogosphere, so some of the questions are a little inappropriate for this medium. Also, I may have done this one before — many of the questions look vaguely familiar — or maybe it’s just that some of the questions have appeared in others I’ve done. Whatever. I was feeling meme-y — dang Beaker — and wanted to participate. Enjoy…

Seriously, no Gog and Magog? Or Huey, Dewey, and Louie? Not even Old BOB?

…so, in lieu of a proper entry, here’s a silly Internet quiz!

Which Star Wars Character Are You?
	You are Luke Skywalker. You are adventurous and love to be where the action is. Your curiosity runs wild and you have to seek out the answers to all your questions or else you will not be at peace. People see you as a great leader, although you are uncomfortable with this because you don’t see yourself the same way. You just believe in being honest and focusing on the good in the world. You are sweet and lovable and have many friends that would be lost without you.

What do y’all think? Does that sound at all like me? I do have a curious streak…
