56 page capstone paper right now. I feel great, except for the fact that I didn't sleep today and I have a 10 page paper due tomorrow night. I like Custom. I hve had thier album in my CD player for the last couple of days and it really fits my mood well. My capstone will need some significant changes, and a few additions, but that will be easy to do in two weeks. I will present it to the class next week, which will be simple. The biggest question is whether or not I invite the two people I was thinking about to come and hear the presentation, along with if I can get a couple toys to bring for a show and tell during the presentation. Time to make a quick call and then probally take a nap.

Your dominant hues are red and yellow... most of what you do is motivated by your need to change things and have a good time, but you've been known to settle down and think out a situation, too. You tend to surprise people just when they're starting to feel like they've got you down.

Your saturation level is high - you get into life and have a strong personality. Everyone you meet will either love you or hate you - either way, your goal is to get them to change the world with you. You are very hard working and don't have much patience for people without your initiative.

Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.

I slept yesterday. All day long. I was up in time to go to class, but I didn’t feel like going. So I missed the review for the final. I wasn’t planning on studying much anyway.
Tonight was an easy day at work. From the normal 2.5K percent that we normally have had lately, we only had 1.9K tonight. One full semi trailer is equal to 100. Judd, our belt manager, gave me the radio for the night tonight. It isn’t bad being able to listen and hearing the updates on how much is left right away, but a tee-shirt doesn’t support a shoulder mike too well. I had also heard from Judd that he would be leaving our belt and going to another sometime soon. Looks like that will occur in mid January. I will be looking forward to it. Judd is tons better than the first manager, Cal, who I worked with. The new manager will be Angie, and being an overnight physical labor job there are not females working there, let alone stunningly attractive ones. I’m going to get myself into trouble; I’m not sure how I will be able to not get in trouble.
Time to polish up the capstone paper. I have a week until I have to defend it, and just under two weeks before I have to turn a final copy in by, but I need to turn what I have in tonight in class and the teacher said it should be 98% done. No sleep for Louis. J

I have another reader of my blog. She also makes comments to me in person. I just hope this doesn't make me hold things back, because even though I do not always want other to tell me things about myself, I often find that it is helpful, and learn about myself this way. She is someone who I have mentioned in here already.

Kris had a neat link to http://www.colorquiz.com/ on his live journal. I took the test and am not sure if I like the results. They seem too accurate to me. Here is what it told me.

Your Existing Situation
The existing situation contains critical or dangerous elements for which it is imperative that some solution be found. This may lead to sudden, even reckless, decisions. Self-willed and rejects any advice from others
Hmm, This part I agree with. My only question is, does agreeing with this statement mean I am accepting advice?

Your Stress Sources
The existing situation is disagreeable. Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the rank and file. His control of his sensual instincts restricts his ability to give himself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow himself to merge with another. This disturbs him, as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; he feels that only by continued self-restraint can he hope to maintain his attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for himself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others.
I’m not sure what to say; besides I agree with the statement.


Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels that he is receiving less than his share and that there is no one on who he can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions make him quick to take offense, but he realizes that he has to make the best of things as they are.
Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of over-agitation which has left him listless and devoid of energy. In need of peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied him.
I do not feel that I am quick to take offense, but the other things there may be correct about me. I had my peace and quiet on Friday. I wandered around my parents backyard with my machete. So relaxing.

Your Desired Objective
Desires a tranquil, peaceful state of harmony offering quiet contentment and a sense of belonging

Your Actual Problem
Wants to be valued and respected, and seeks this from a close and peaceful association of mutual esteem.
