You're always up to something.&lt;br&gt;You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.&lt;br&gt;You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. &lt;br&gt;You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. &lt;br&gt;You have the classic "Type A" personality.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.&lt;br&gt;You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.&lt;br&gt;You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.&lt;br&gt;You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.&lt;br&gt;You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.&lt;br&gt;You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.&lt;br&gt;You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/" target="_new"&gt;What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/664417345/so-what-does-my-name-mean.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Lazy Sunday...</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/663816514/lazy-sunday.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/663816514/lazy-sunday.html</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jun 2008 08:24:06 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;embed allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" src="http://widgets.nbc.com/o/4727a250e66f9723/48677e102f1fe178" quality="high" wmode="transparent" id="W48677e102f1fe178" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="283" width="384"&gt; &lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/663816514/lazy-sunday.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>The New Captain America Movie/My New PSP</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/663809784/the-new-captain-america-moviemy-new-psp.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/663809784/the-new-captain-america-moviemy-new-psp.html</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:24:47 GMT</pubDate><description>so they found the guy that's going to play captain america in the captain america movie they are making...get a load of this guy! spittin image. super cool!:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://x18.xanga.com/928c8a11c6734196586853/b151925239.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="captainamerica" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://x18.xanga.com/928c8a11c6734196586853/z151925239.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i don't know what the guy's name is. i have been trying to find out. someone posted this on one of the message boards i hang out on sometimes. cool though?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;also i got a new PSP(play station portable). it's pretty cool. the alien vs predator game stinks though. bad control. don't get it! i got the god of war bundle pack. it came with a god of war game and a movie-which i ruined.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;my problem is i don't read directions, but the directions were kind of hard to find. i was trying to find out how to load a game/movie. i thought you had to take the disc out of the little compartment thing it was in, turns out you put the whole thing in! i broke the movie. &lt;img src="http://www.xanga.com/Images/smiley2.gif" height="15" width="15"&gt; i called the store because i couldn't figure out how to get the game out of the holder it was in once it's out of the case:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://xe9.xanga.com/39ec641557332196587720/b151926024.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="umd" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://xe9.xanga.com/39ec641557332196587720/z151926024.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;in the above pic, you see that little white case like thing the disc is in? well the whole thing goes into the game system when you play it. i being the idiot that i am didn't know that. i had never messed with a psp before. i'm not a big direction reader, but i had called gamestop where i bought it and told them i was having trouble getting the game out of the inside "case". the guy told me to just open it like a cd. so i took superbad and "pried" my way into it and took out the disc and popped it into the psp. it wouldn't play of course because i had ruined the movie. i'm kind of mad at the guy who i called at the game place, but maybe he just misunderstood me. *sighs*. at least i didn't ruin my game. maybe i can buy another case to hold it in. the have some replacement ones of ebay, i guess for people who think they are know-it-alls like me who break into the disc like me. &lt;img src="http://s.xanga.com/images/whatevah.gif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;this is the psp i bought:&lt;br&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.xanga.com/private/editorx.aspx?uid=663809784"&gt;&lt;img title="" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Jd7jBRSYL._AA280_.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;but it works. i like the god of war game, but the alien vs predator requiem stinks. the control stinks.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href=""&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/a&gt;that's it for now, laters! </description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/663809784/the-new-captain-america-moviemy-new-psp.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Shaving Cat Hair Knots...</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/662677254/shaving-cat-hair-knots.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/662677254/shaving-cat-hair-knots.html</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jun 2008 18:56:33 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN style="WIDTH: 0px"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;ain't easy! especially when it's Isabelle your dealing with!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://photo.xanga.com/rainy_z/79e04174796778/photo.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" alt="Isabelle Yawning" src="http://x79.xanga.com/e04c601116134174796778/z133035262.jpg" width=400&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i'm over at my mom's. Isabelle gets these awful knots...more like clumps in her hair. so every once in a while i help mom hold her and we try to shave them out. i told mom just to take her to the vet and have her shaved for the summer. that would take care of it for a while anyways.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;today we were going to go to town, but i was really tired and decided not to. i didn't sleep well last night. UGH! so i am sitting here at their comp blogging a bit. shame on me for not doing more of it lately. usually i can swing blogging about every 3 days or so, but i haven't been doing it lately. i'm on the comp plenty. i just don't think about it. i've had alot on my mind lately.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;anyways, i've only got 1 watcher on my KISS cars on ebay. but it's only been 1 day, so it's not too big a deal right now.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;laters!&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/662677254/shaving-cat-hair-knots.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Rambo Movie...</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/662578663/rambo-movie.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/662578663/rambo-movie.html</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Jun 2008 03:54:46 GMT</pubDate><description>i just got through watching the new Rambo movie.

when i first moved into this apartment it was 90 dollars. my mom, god bless her, bought me a fan to put in my bedroom and i leave it on all night, otherwise it would be intolerable. i am going to buy another to put in my living room. maybe that will cover me for the rest of the summer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i have been cleaning out my middle room and getting some things ready to go to flea market this weekend. i am also selling a couple of things i thought i could get more for on ebay. &lt;img src="http://s.xanga.com/images/happy.gif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i don't want to sell my KISS action figures. i am still debating whether to sell them. my closets are packed with dolls i've collected over time and were gifts from family and i just don't want to part with. i'm running out of room.&lt;img src="http://s.xanga.com/images/shocked.gif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;my dog peppy has allergies real bad every summer. he itches and his hair ends up coming out where he scratches so much. i am going to get him some medicine for his little allergies soon. i hate having to wait, but money is a problem.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i got my dad an Indiana Jones Card for Daddy's Day. here's a pic.:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://photo.xanga.com/rainy_z/25d1b193611205/photo.html"&gt;&lt;img title="DSCF1216" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://x25.xanga.com/d1bc55f6c6631193611205/z149332822.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i thought it was pretty cool! they had one where it played the indiana jones theme and you could record your own message, but i took the quiet one.&lt;img src="http://s.xanga.com/images/laughing.gif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i saw the movie by the way, i liked it, though it wasn't as good as his past movies as indiana jones. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;night!&lt;br&gt; </description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/661342128/wow-its-been-a-while.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Remember The Band Journey?</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/660005206/remember-the-band-journey.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/660005206/remember-the-band-journey.html</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 23:54:02 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v3cB1fwnWlI&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v3cB1fwnWlI&amp;amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;i think the new guy does a great job!&lt;/p&gt;</description><comments>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/660005206/remember-the-band-journey.html#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tater Of The Lost Ark...</title><link>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/658327274/tater-of-the-lost-ark.html</link><guid>http://www.xanga.com/rainy_z/658327274/tater-of-the-lost-ark.html</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2008 13:48:45 GMT</pubDate><description> &lt;br&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://photo.xanga.com/rainy_z/acb7a190348439/photo.html"&gt;&lt;img title="Tater Of The Lost Ark!" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://xac.xanga.com/b7ac630b68132190348439/z146491403.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i'm going to see the new indiana jones movie tomorrow, but i saw this tater in the toy store. i loved it so much!
