I've been sucked into playing the bells for a track the elementary choir is doing on a Christmas benefit CD. No, I've never played bells before. No, I don't own a bell set. No, I don't quite know how this has come about. But it's confirmed and I get to learn to play bells - of course, the fact that I play the piano should make it a great deal easier. Bells are neat.
I did not sleep in bio today. We looked at hearts. Actual hearts. As in, the great big muscles that were torn from the chest cavities of animals and are now chopped up and kept in a bucket below the desk at the front of the lab.
Boy, what a way to go.
Anyway... I'm proud of myself. And it's such a silly little thing, but I'm so queasy about hurting anything. I know that I'm a wuss, but I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to handle dissections. It just turns my stomach.
But I looked at the hearts. From behind a screen of people, but still... I looked at the hearts while the teacher poked and prodded them, and stuck his fingers through various veins and arteries. I watched it all, really watched it. And then, when he was done with that, I went up and looked at them when they were sitting on the counter. Didn't actually touch them, but still.... I was all up close and I didn't freak out! I even managed to keep my pulse fairly stable.
... Yes, I know that this is all a tad sad. But I'm really rather proud of myself. Yay me!
Oh, and the 'name' thingy... Cut instead of locked because really, outside of Lindy, Jen, and Cat, I highly doubt there's anyone reading this who doesn't have me friendslisted.
This is kind of freaky close. There are some things that missed by a mile, or are kind of only conditional on others, but still...
I tried throwing various webnames I use through it as well. AIM, IRC, the basic 'Cherry Ice.' Oddly enough, they all ended up with basically the same meanings. Am I just drawing from a limited data base and the similarities are due to the limited options (if this is so, why are all of the name analysis's I've seen different?), or, as the people who developed the sight would like suggest, did I pick them because they have the same sort of 'feel' as my real name does?
Kira:
You have good recuperative abilities and strong mental determination. You are very private and dislike others prying into your affairs. You are relatively demonstrative in your affections. You enjoy being stroked verbally and physically. You enjoy a challenge. You can take thought-directed actions. You have much enthusiasm with a driving attitude toward achievement in life.
Leanne:
You are fair-minded sometimes to the point of being opinionated. You have a strong need to be loved and appreciated. You can be quite inventive and quite curious. You have a need to be up front. You can handle details well. You have a methodical mind. You must learn to give 'wise' service and not be a martyr. You need to learn to be expressive. You are a person who cannot tolerate being misunderstood.
Goff:
You strive for perfection and worry when things don't turn out just so. You enjoy doing a job well. You tend to procrastinate. You have a great deal of loyalty to those you love. You have much inner strength. You are naturally friendly. You can be the life of the party. You need to learn the true meaning of friendship.
