Bit of Ivory

You are Civilian Calvin! You don’t get to travel much outside your neighborhood, but you still manage to get in plenty of trouble. When you’re not acting up, you like to wax philosophical. Take the What Calvin are You? Quiz by contessina_2000@yahoo.com!

This one was just WAY too much fun. Thanks, Teri, for posting this one. Calvin and Hobbes is the greatest comic strip EVER!!! So sad that’s it’s gone forever. *sigh*

Which of the Disney Princesses are you?

Not surprising at all.

I’ve posted my article at the Heir
of Slytherin Yahoo! Group if anyone wants to read it.

I got a waffle iron for Easter, and one of the Team USA Olympic Berets.

I’m very excited.

but I just wanted to say– I hope everyone had a great Easter!

Yeah! I’m now a published author!!! So it’s only a college newspaper, but who cares? Anyway, I co-wrote an article with Steven C. Walker, Ph.D. for The Collegiate Post, (BYU’s Academic Fortnightly) which came out today! It’s about fantasy and religion, well, really more about if fantasy is evil or not. Our answer is no. Anyway, I wrote about Harry Potter (since, well, duh, I’m a complete and total Potterhead) and Dr. Walker wrote about The Lord of the Rings (since he did his Doctorate Dissertation on Tolkien), and it’s out today! Woohoo!!!

Which HP Kid Are You?

Well, that makes two tests now that say I’m Hermione. . .and I even tried to purposely avoid the questions I thought were obviously her.

Oh, well– I guess I can’t escape fate. *sigh*

Over 100 hits! I never thought I’d see the day. . .

Okay, so I read Chapter 21 of After the End at the Sugar Quill today. Actually, at about 1:30 today. While I was at work. In the BYU library. And it was bad. Because Harry and Ginny finally kissed! And I almost screamed out loud! As it was, I made a little squeal. And then I read the end. . .and I was a puddle of goo at the Reference Desk. Even now, I’m sure I’m going to dream about that kiss.

I am so pathetic.

My Mormon name is Emilyn Vyquetoriya Walkasheaqua!
What’s yours?

Now, I’m already a Mormon. Everybody get that? I’M A MORMON. Emily Bytheway. My REAL Mormon name. Most people I know have perfectly normal names. I have a few weird ones on my Mom’s side of the family, but they’re from a small town– all small towns produce weird names, not just Mormon ones. And none of them were unprecedented. Anyway, most Mormons aren’t that weird. People who names their kids like this are WEIRD. I feel really sorry for the kids, sometimes, though. Really sorry.

In any case, I’m not saying that this site isn’t funny. It is. It’s hilarious. Just don’t take it too seriously.

And anyone familiar with Mormon pop culture knows that Bytheway is about as Mormon as you get. There’s a Bytheway that’s famous in Mormon circles– John Bytheway. He writes books, does motivational talks, etc. He’s my uncle. I’m surprised that Bytheway doesn’t come up as a last name on that site, in fact. Hmm. . . .

You work hard to achieve the goals in your life, and believe in always improving in whatever you do. You have a sense for justice and your wish is for others to realize you’re an intelligent person who deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.
Who are YOU?

My roommate laughed out loud. My sisters were not surprised. I guess Jen (said roommate) doesn’t call me a walking encyclopedia for nothing.

My sisters (they’re twins) took the test, too. Laura got Harry, and Lisa got Ron. Together, we complete the Trio. Cool, huh?
