it's the little things

I forgot my claddagh/buffy ring today. I haven't done that in ages, but I was so tired and out of it this morning, I stumbled out of the apartment, running a bit late, and didn't realize until I got to work that I wasn't wearing it. I have this nervous/thinking habit of twirling it on my finger and sliding it off and on. And right now there is nothing on my hand, so I keep reaching for it to play with it and it's not there. :(

It's Presidents Day, and all of the government offices and public schools are closed. So everyone assumes we're closed, but we are not. So it's pretty slow right now.

I'm in a new music kind of mood. I just checked out a few more CDs from the library and on Friday I had a moment of weakness and did a random CD purchase. I don't usually do that anymore because I've been dissappointed to many times with lame albums plus I can usually get stuff from the library and preview it before I buy. But I felt like having a new CD, so I bought the new Corrs album which is actually their take on some traditional irish tunes, which should be cool. I like their sound but most of their latest stuff has been too bubble gum for me. We listened to the album once on Friday but it was while [livejournal.com profile] blu_harvest was over so I wasn't listening too closely and I didn't have very much of a weekend, since I worked both Sat and Sun and then we had the whole dinner thing. Probably why I am so tired.

Does anyone know who Jesse Harris is? I just found his CD in the collection and the name sounds very very familiar...

okay back to work!

EDIT: I lied, [livejournal.com profile] faeriesfolly posted a little quiz so I took it


the Peacemaker
Test finished!
you chose BX - your Enneagram type is NINE.


"I am at peace"



Peacemakers are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.


How to Get Along with Me



  • If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure.
  • I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advatage of this.
  • Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit.
  • Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally.
  • Ask me questions to help me get clear.
  • Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery.
  • Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings.
  • I like a good discussion but not a confrontation.
  • Let me know you like what I've done or said.
  • Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life.

What I Like About Being a Nine



  • being nonjudgmental and accepting
  • caring for and being concerned about others
  • being able to relax and have a good time
  • knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around
  • my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator
  • my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now
  • being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe

What's Hard About Being a Nine



  • being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive
  • being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline
  • being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally
  • being confused about what I really want
  • caring too much about what others will think of me
  • not being listened to or taken seriously

Nines as Children Often



  • feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant
  • tune out a lot, especially when others argue
  • are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves

Nines as Parents



  • are supportive, kind, and warm
  • are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective
