What Lord of the Rings Character Are You?

I found this quiz on another blog and thought it was fun.


"You are most like Elrond. Although you are very serious, you're not above having a good time. It's just that your definition of a good time is pretty different from other people's. You're very smart, so use your knowledge to help others! At least your not so pessimistic. People may think you're hard nosed, but all your friends know better. "

What Accent Are You?

I found this quiz over at Nature Knitter. I'm pretty sure I have taken this before, but I'm wasting time on the computer today and this sounded fun.

I am not from the inland north and never have lived there, but I do often have people ask me where I am from, even though I have lived in the northeast my entire life. I do see that the inland north and the northeast were very close.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Inland North You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

What Does your Latte Say About You?

Okay, so I have way too much idle time today and should be doing something but I'm having way too much fun on the computer!

I saw this on Cynthia's blog today.

Some of what it says about me is true and some of it is way off, but fun anyway.

What Your Latte Says About You

You are very decadent in all aspects of your life. You never scale back, and you always live large. You can be quite silly at times, but you know when to buckle down and be serious. You have a good deal of energy, but you pace yourself. You never burn out too fast. You're addicted to caffeine. There's no denying it. You are a child at heart, and you don't ever miss the opportunity to do something playful. You are deep and thoughtful, but you are never withdrawn.
