Parenthesis For Me

I often can’t resist these web quizzes – and I especially couldn’t resist this one that determines which type of punctuation one resembles. I found this one from Mark “the semicolon” Lindner. I’m looking for some apostrophes with whom to engage in an epic battle.

Your Score:

Parenthesis

You scored 23% Sociability and 29% Sophistication!

You enclose and envelope life, as well as things that aren’t vital to the main topic. You are something of a loner and take pleasure in the simple things in life. You are uncomplicated for the most part, and don’t need anyone (though you are strangely attracted to LISP programmers). The apostrophe is your natural enemy. You like periods (and commas), but tend to keep them somewhat outside.

A Typical Wednesday Evening?

Hopefully not! I have an assignment dealing with outsourcing in libraries due tomorrow at 11PM for ILS566-Library Personnel Management. I should be working hard on it, but think that my husband and I are going to venture out to see Pirates of the Caribbean III tonight. I’m very excited. Fortunately, I have all of the background material that I need – and just need to start writing. We are expected to write 5 mini-essays (which is vague enough to scare me) about different aspects of outsourcing in libraries – and to include our opinion about the appropriateness of outsourcing. I’m busy jotting down an outline, so I think I will be fine. I should probably stay home, but my husband is leaving work early, I have no idea when else we would be able to fit in 3 hours in a movie theater and it is Hazy, Hot and Humid – so the air conditioning in the theater will be wonderful.
