You are a Samurai.
You have trained the majority of your life. You are
honerable, you follow your word. You spare no
one once in combat, but that is expected, for
your oponent would do the same to you. You use
a two-handed katana.What type of Swordsman are you?

I dare you to get something other than Samurai. So far, everyone I’ve heard of who’s taken it has ended up with this result. Not that this isn’t a cool thing, mind you…
Hi, my name’s Karel, and I’m a Neopets addict. (“Hi, Karel!”)
It was two of my friends that did it to me. They sat down and created an account and gave me my first Neopet. At first I resisted, but then I couldn’t bear the thought of my electronic pet going hungry, so I started looking for games I could play well enough to finance my Neopet’s diet.
Of course, then I found out about the free food options. I felt silly, but by that point it was too late. I was hooked on Destruct-O-Match, and then came Sutek’s Tomb.
The true realization of my addiction came today, when I realized that what I really wanted was to save up for a paintbrush.
My friends, I’m afraid it’s true. I’m a Neopets addict. No, no, don’t bother with the intervention. I’ll take a few NP if you can spare ‘em, though…
I don’t really have much to say about the last week or so. It’s been an interesting, enlightening, occasionally frustrating, sometimes depressing, sometimes delightful experience. I’m learning a few things about myself and how I relate to people. I’m uncovering yet more things about myself that I’m less than happy about… as well as things I’m moderately proud of.
Looking back, it probably wasn’t the best plan ever conceived. But I had to try, didn’t I? That’s the whole point of life: Trying things. Being willing to faceplant disastrously, taking that risk, is how we learn and grow.
Right?
All of that determination and belief doesn’t stop me from feeling like the world’s biggest doofus, though. Le sigh, le double sigh…
In lieu of content, linkage. C’mon, you can fake a look of shock and amazement better than that. I know you can.
(Real content to come, eventually. Just maybe not in the next day or three. You’ll manage without me, I know you will.)
It’s sort of amusing that the only physical token of appreciation I’ve received (so far) for SysAdmin Appreciation Day came from someone outside of my office:
That Mari, is she all nifty and thoughtful and stuff or what? Yay!
If I don’t update here very often for the next week or so, I have good cause for my silence. See, I have company coming. Over the course of the next week and a half I’m to be visited both by Dawn and by Kim, who’s flying out from New York to take in the experience that is The City Of Roses. So when I’m not working or taking care of my other obligations (hey, kids, I got the new Sailor Moon today!) I’ll be showing one or both of them around town.
There are worse reasons to be dragged away from the computer, to be sure…
