So lately it's been a matter of waiting for stuff. I'm forever done with my online class (grades still yet to come...), I have one more geography exam to go, a math test & exam, and a earth/space science exam. Help...

I have less than two weeks now before I find out which dorm I'll be at in Savannah and who my roommate(s) will be. I'm very jittery on the topic right now. But I trust God will put me where he wants me. The whole notion of leaving home is beginning to hit me now...

Job hunting has been a disaster thus far. The only employer I've really heard back from was to tell me I wasn't quite what they needed for the position applied for...or something along those lines. If I'm meant to have a job at all before I leave, it'll be just for Christmas holiday, I guess. I can at least be thankful I won't be working on Black Friday (let's not kill any store workers to save a few bucks this year, people!!!! )

I have to be honest, I'm looking forward to the Macy's Day Parade this year. Not sure if there will be something quite as unexpected as rickrolling the Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends balloon, but...yeah.

BTW, update on the panda cub!!!!! He's been getting so big and he's beginning to try and walk!! I've been taking a webcam photo log on his growth and - when he's old enough to come out of the birthing den with Mom, I'll be posting it on Photobucket or something. This past week on the 17th, the zoo upheld the Chinese tradition of a naming ceremony when the baby is 100 days old. A poll was held at the San Diego Zoo website (I missed it ) and the cub's been named! Watch this vid to see the name be revealed! [link]



It's funny how closely I've been following this lil' guy. Been watching him since he was only days old.

Okay, now a fun lil' meme! I was tagged by via :

Rules:
1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

I'll use the 5 runner-ups in my KFP character poll. (Did this right before someone voted for Sun and tied her with Netra. )
1. Sun
2. Baojia
3. Eri
4. Izotakeshi
5. Benjirou

Are you a boy or a girl?
1. Sun: Girl. Have you SEEN my picture?
2. Baojia: Male.
3. Eri: Girl.
4. Izotakeshi: Male. Does Izotakeshi sound like a girl's name to you?
5. Benjirou: Boy! Girls are icky!!

How old are you?
1. Sun: Pfft. Like I'm saying it out loud.
2. Baojia: 34
3. Eri: 33
4. Izotakeshi: Who wants to know?
5. Benjirou: Six... I think...

Hobbies?
1. Sun: Dancing, dancing, singing, fan dancing. (And punching jerks in the nose, but she won't tell you that at her distinguished age.)
2. Baojia: I don't have time for hobbies. I can always perfect my kung fu form and that's all I have time for.
3. Eri: Mmm...kung fu, cooking for my Master and fellow students, and looking out for Shifu. Do...those count as hobbies?
4. Izotakeshi: Pillaging, plundering, kidnapping, looting, marauding, running people through, etc.
5. Benjirou: Swimming!!! I love swimming! And fishing and boating, my Baba's teaching me how to run the paddleboat!

You got any bad habits?
1. Sun: Err...people say I have to get out of the habit of being so tomboyish...... Not in this day and age, buster.
2. Baojia: There's always room for self-improvement.
3. Eri: Letting go of the past, I guess... It's harder than I thought...
4. Izotakeshi: *smirk* Define "bad habit".
5. Benjirou: Mama says I..."po'cras'nate" too much...

Who's your significant other?
1. Sun: Mm... A certain crotchety old red panda with big blue eyes and an endearing pout when he's frustrated. Got a sock in the nose the first day we met. *smirk*
2. Baojia: ................................. (Eri. But Baojia won't admit that.)
3. Eri: I still belong to my mate.......
4. Izotakeshi: Next question.
5. Benjirou: !!!!!!!! EW!!!!!

You a virgin?
1. Sun: Yes... And waiting until I'm married.
2. Baojia: Yes. My master will not permit me a wife until I intend to have one. Which I doubt will ever happen.
3. Eri: No... I had a husband and chicks long ago...
4. Izotakeshi: Even the leader of Ju-long may not speak of his past. If I told you, you would not live long enough to thrive on it. *sharpens his throwing knife*
5. Benjirou: What's that?

Killed anyone?
1. Sun: No. I'm already frowned on enough by society as it is.
2. Baojia: Only those who have threatened my home, my master, or my fellow students.
3. Eri: Only as a defender of the Valley. It's not in my nature, though.
4. Izotakeshi: Pteh, I lost count years ago.
5. Benjirou: No! Honest! Only mean people do that!

Hate anyone?
1. Sun: I suppose...but I don't like saying it.
2. Baojia: Any underhanded scum that threatens this Valley.
3. Eri: Master always taught us not to seek revenge, and hate is such a strong word... But there are people who have hurt my family I wish I could get back at.
4. Izotakeshi: Too many to name.
5. Benjirou: Prissy girls.

Now leaving on a lighter note, what is your dream?
1. Sun: To get married and have cubs... And to have them with the guy I've been waiting for for 40 years...
2. Baojia: To finish the 1000 scrolls and become the best warrior I can for my master.
3. Eri: Not really sure... I'm doing as well as I'd wish for the circumstances, I guess... I'm helping to protect people, I promised Koto I'd look after his cub and I love doing it... I just wish I had my mate and chicks with me...
4. Izotakeshi: ...Nothing.
5. Benjirou: To become a commander of my own fleet and travel 'round the world!!

I tag and . Cryssy, I think you were already tagged for this!
