   Nothing Can Happen 'Til You Swing the Bat...
I found this great website to download a bunch of anime episodes on...so I decided to download all of FLCL to entertain me for a couple of days. I needed something, because the other day I snapped and wanted to be anywhere but here. I was watching the Survivor season finale, and somehow the fact that I needed an oil change for my car came up, and I ended up getting in a huge fight with my Mum's husband about money and getting a job. I have a job lined up to work at a summer camp, but it doesn't start until June 20, so money for me is tight until I start that. Well, he was arguing that I needed a "real" job, and told me that I should work at the job that I had last summer. I hated that job...I was working in the only store in my town, I was working minimal hours, and getting paid shit for it. It was a mindnumbing job, and I wanted better than that, and he doesn't understand that. I ended up leaving my livingroom and locking myself in my room for the rest of the night. I mwan, that isn't unusual for me, to lock myself in my room when I am at home. It's not that I hate it at my house, because I don't...I just hate not being around friends and people that like me. I get along with my Mum great, but when it comes to her husband or my sister, that is a completely different story. It is just hard to deal with, that's all. It was commented to me tonight that I seem like I have the "Holier than thou" attitude now. Unfortunately, I have always kind of had that attitude...it's not cockyness...it's just me not agreeing with society and what is deemed "normal." I could rant about that for hours, but I won't bore you with it. So, yeah...not too much going on in my life...pretty mediocre. I am just going day by day waiting for classes to start again (102 Days). As long as I can keep myself occupied, I will stay content. It is the night time that I have the most problems with...more time to sit and think. With me, that is usually never good. Anywho, FLCL is calling to Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt...aluve'



Your Normalcy Quotient is: 79 out of 100.

What really counts is how your score compares to those of your normal or not so
normal group of friends. Don't forget to forward them this email so you can
compare results.

You are a Charming Conformist

Congratulations.
You’re pretty normal by all our standards, but here are some other facts
about normal that you might not know. Sixty-six percent of people in the U.S.
own their home. Women make up fifty point nine percent of people in the U.S.
Sixty-eight percent of U.S. citizens live in a family household. Also, it is
very normal to live near a metropolitan area. Three out of four people make
their homes near citified regions. The average debt for people nationally is
$11,224.

It seems to be normal that there is usually something that a
person doesn’t like about his/her body, but is there a body part that you
love and for which you would get an insurance policy? Actress Cyd Charisse, who
starred in Singin’ in the Rain, insured her legs for five million
buck-a-roos. That equates to around forty-eight million dollars in today’s
money and is definitely not normal.

While it’s not completely normal
yet, there is a growing trend toward gaining your education via the Internet. In
the late nineties, only one point seven percent of people earned their degrees
online, and by 2001, that had nearly doubled to three point one percent.
However, according to the U.S. Department of Education, it is becoming quite
normal to seek higher education and more people are conforming to the popular
belief that a higher education means a higher salary.

Of course, the
definition of normal is always changing, and before you know it, you may very
well be one of the exceptional exceptions.

Remember: Are You? quizzes are
non-scientific, non-fat and pretty much just non-sense. They are meant solely
for entertainment purposes and are not intended to provide an accurate
evaluation of……well of anything.
