You are Orange Wolf type, who is plain and simple. You give an impression of being very clean and tidy. You don't get shy and are open sort of woman. You are very straight forward in that you do not really care about the others feelings and emotions. Therefore people think you lack feminine consideration.You are intelligent person, and have wide knowledge. You will not be influenced by emotions and therefore can make decisions objectively.You can express your individuality well, but in personal life, you tend to build a wall around you and will not let others intrude your life. This makes you open to criticism.You think high of your private life, and may not be able to see the situation you are placed. You can make calm decisions, and your criticism may give a wrong impression of you, but really you are kind and generous person.To those who can read your true feelings, they will appreciate your greatness. You don't have any wicked feelings, and are person of pure heart. You show humane generosity to people around you.You don't care about public opinion, and you live your life at your own pace. You will take time as long as you think is necessary before you come up with conclusion that you believe to be reasonable. And once you decide on things, you will go for a long term version, and your result will be consistent and steady.You can observe men well, and will choose by taking your future into consideration. After getting married, you will be better at being a mother than a wife. You will not depend on your husband so much and will have an ideal family.

Earth.
Got everything right except the earth part, which says I'm a lot more methodical than I am. Ha ha lol. Probably worth it for the orange wolf part, which says "can give one's heart and soul for his passion"

Three simple questions I propose:
It wouldn't be fair for me to ask if I wouldn't answer.
I am fond of four:
The Zhirrzh from Timothy Zahn's Conqueror's trilogy. In the first book, they seemed the most hostile, inhuman race I had ever come across, yet in the second, they seemed so human. The juxtaposition is intriguing, but they're just too alien for me. In the end, I would like to stay mostly human, thank you.
The Fremen from Frank Herbert's Dune. Their culture is entirely based on water, so much so that they almost worship it. Almost every activity in their daily lives is tied to water somehow. Even though their human, their culture is odd enough for me to consider them alien. But it does seem a rather bland livestyle, so I would never wish to be one.
The Tok'ra from the series Stargate. I think what fascinates me about the Tok'ra is that they're a real mix of things that, as humans, disgust us and things that we're extrememly comfortable with. On the one hand, what makes a Tok'ra a Tok'ra is the symbiote that crawls into a host's skin and anchors itself to the host's brain, allowing it to, at times, take complete control of motor skills and probably a few other systems. We humans don't really like the possibility of something controlling us, especially physically. Nor are we particularly warm toward the idea of something living in us. And for that matter, most of us wouldn't be thrilled at the idea of no secrets whatsoever that the Tok'ra hold so fond. Yet in all that, the symbiotes respect their hosts as individuals, or they would think nothing of taking a host against his will. They hold no secrets among their ranks (supposedly), but yet they're spies. They seem rather philanthropic yet they're bent on the utter destruction of the Goa'uld. More juxtaposition. Fun.
Finally, the Pack from Wen Spencer's Ukiah quartet. Like the Tok'ra, the Pack is a blend of opposites. They're caring and compassionate, yet they're all FBI Most Wanted for a whole host of crimes, including the murder necessitated by the war only they know to fight. They stress individuality, but only because they're so close to having only one collective mind. One of my favorite scenes from the entire series is when Ukiah, the gentle protagonist who is part of the Pack by lineage, not action, is started in a Giant Eagle when Rennie, the Pack leader with a reputation as a mass murderer, picks up Ukiah's "son" and starts to treat him like his grandson. It's lovely.
So for the third question, I'm not sure; it's a tie between the Tok'ra and the Pack. Both heal quickly and easily, but both races began as a fight against a larger, fundamentally evil, mother species. The Tok'ra have a decent life span of about 200 years for hosts and 2000 years for symbiotes, but the Pack members can only die by murder. You know, the potentially infinite lifespan might be tempting if you didn't realize that the Pack members have about a thousand enemies bent on world domination and the utter destruction of the Pack. Me being who I am now, I couldn't be either. I couldn't put myself in a position where I would be obliged to kill even the evillest creatures in the galaxy. (That's what I think now, while these things only play across the small theater of my mind.) If I were either, though... *sigh* Blood mice... I would have to be a Tok'ra. In the end, my intolerance for pain wins out. Being a Pack member would leave too many chances to heal from the dead and be killed all over again. That's not my cup of tea, so I'd rather be a Tok'ra and be allowed to work on cool technology. Besides, Tok'ra have neat things like zats and holographic projectors, space craft, and blue crystal tunnels. All Pack members have is motorcycles, a few blankets, and a bunch of conventional weaponry, ie. machine guns, knives, etc. I'm definately more of a laser weapon person than a projectile person.

What d'y'all think?
- What alien race most fascinates you?
- Why?
- Which would you be if you had a chance?
It wouldn't be fair for me to ask if I wouldn't answer.

NHS vs. PGSS
Please somebody explain this to me.
On my third application to the organization, I got into the National Honor Society. The induction was last night, so lately, I've been seriously thinking about the oath they make you take, though quite seriously, there is no way they can make you believe in it if your acceptance is contingent on whether you repeat after the president.
"I, being made aware of the honor which is being bestowed upon me by my acceptance in the National Honor Society..."
Except that no one did make us aware of the honor. Okay, so they made us work at it to get in, and they told us we were accepted, and NHS has a sort of reputation out there that people who have already been through school are aware of. But the fifty or so of us first-time students standing with candles in the school auditorium last night--who told us? What is the honor of which we're now apparently aware? What even is honor?
To me, honor is accepting only that which you have worked for.
Receiving an honor was being recognized for outstanding reading, computer achievement, writing, and creativity in fourth grade out of my entire class.
Receiving an honor wasn't accepting participation trophies in cheerleading, dance, and gymnastics.
Receiving an honor was being picked to go to art camp over the summer in elementary school.
Receiving an honor was being allowed into the gifted program at the middle school.
Receiving an honor wasn't doing well on achievement tests and the subsequent awards with them.
Receiving an honor was being accepted to Alpha writer's workshop and notified as a semifinalists for the governor's school for arts for creative writing.
Receiving an honor was being accepted to the governor's school for sciences, being allowed to learn volumes over the summer and meet a whole bunch of cool people, and in the end, standing up with a certificate of commendation for surviving the five weeks.
Where is the honor in being accepted to the National Honor Society when it is contingent on activities that I'm committed to for other reasons and already being rewarded for? If academics come naturally because of what my parents have taught; if service comes naturally because of my committment to God; if leadership comes naturally because of my committment to myself to be only myself; if character comes naturally because... because I've committed myself to God and He made me to be me--if all these things come naturally and I earn their natural consequences because of them, what is the honor in National Honor Society? Is it just formal recognition from the school for what others have already commented loudly on?
If so, is that such a good idea? If I've already been recognized too much, how is one more "honor" going to affect my perception of myself? I'm so afraid that if I lose an accurate view of who I am, of where I fit, of the measure of how good (or bad) I am and the measure of how far I will always have to go, how am I to preserve that which people recognize? (In other words, what if I get a big head?)
One last thought.
Sitting in the auditorium last night, thinking about what each of the speakers said, thinking of how much work God still has for me, I did not feel half as honored there, among my classmates and those in the grade beneath me, as I did to be sitting at the banquet at the end of Governor's School among ninety-nine incredible juniors and seniors, their families, and our professors. Whereas NHS has an emphasis on continued service, PGSS had an emphasis on learning with a little bit of service. Yet in my opinion, the average govie excelled more in all four areas--academics, service, leadership, and character--than the everage NHS member. Maybe the difference was creativity. Maybe the difference was the pool from which the memberships were drawn. In either case, I will always be more proud and feel more honored to be a govie than a member of the National Honor Society.

Just puttin' a probe out to see if anyone would be interested in me posting my entire, unedited senior paper on here when I finish. I say unedited, because I've been averaging almost three hundred words per paragraph, I'm a hundred and fifty words over my total, and I've got four paragraphs to go. It's about how science fiction aids in the development of technology and scientific theories, with the main points being:
- It disperses uncommon ideas.
- It generates interest in related fields.
- It encourages people to enter related fields.
- It inspires scientists and inventors.
If anyone's interested just leave me a comment, and I'll post as soon as I'm finished.

Nothing too new and spiffy to say here. I'm going to work on Best Left Dead.

So, basically, everything in html goes in these litte arrows, but I doubt they'll show up in here. <> If they don't, just use the "," and ".", only with shift. Excluding the brackets, a basic webpage has to have the following.
html
head
title
/title
/head
body
/body
/html
The / just ends whatever command was opened earlier. I think you can figure it out from here if I just give you the tags and say what they are.
html--opens the page
head--I wish I knew. It just goes at the top where nobody sees. Anything in the head section won't be visible on the page.
title--what you want to display up above the menu bar on the webpage
body--where you put the stuff you want people to see
center--centers stuff after it.
em--italics
strong--bold
h1 (or) h2 (or) h3 (or) h4 (or) h5 (or) h6--heading tags. Makes stuff big and bold.
hr -- horizontal rule. These are handy; I use them in ff.net all the time.
p --paragraph. Automatically puts spaces between paragraphs.
!--blah, etc-- --comments
ol--ordered list. You know, with numbers.
ul--unordered list with bullets
--definition list--didn't teach
br--open tag, needs no closing--puts a blank line

- HTML fiddling
*evil laughter ensues*
So, here I am, sitting in compsci again. Lunch is next period. That's shiney. So... The teacher's telling us to type our schudules in a list in an html document. Somehow, that bothers me. I mean, I don't mind it so much on here, when I go into rants about each one, but I don't like just listing it all like that. I dunno.
La. My paper's going pretty well. Hey, I should be working on that project that's due tomorrow. Okeeday. ttyl. Y'all have fun until I find something to do with all this random text.

Fiddling
"Sarah Elaine Anderson"
Period 4
So, anyway, if you haven't guessed, I'm finally learning HTML!!!! Yay!!! ttfn. Must go visit guidance councilor...
Boo.
Should be working on senior project. Or the class I'm sitting in, webpage design. But... I'll have time. My fingers hurt; my nails were long for so long, my fingertips are now really sensitive to pressure. But it'll go away. It always does. And then I can go back to playing guitar in time to relearn all my holiday music.
But I'm happy. My physics teacher let me do the problems I overlooked on the test yesterday, and it took me much less time than I expected. I should worship God in the morning much more often! I can always think better afterwards.
You know, God is pretty amazing. Just wanted to point that out. Really looking forward to the youth retreat tomorrow. Unfortunately, one of the members of my church (who gave my dad and his wife a pair of incredible drawings as a wedding present) died on Monday, and we're leaving shortly after the memorial service. I don't quite know what to think, because I don't think I ever saw or spoke to him, but I hope it doesn't dampen the start of the youth retreat too much. From what I've gathered, I doubt he would want to negatively affect a retreat.
