Isis Indeed, you are 87% erudite, 66% sensual, 50% martial, and 41% saturnine.

This Egyptian supreme Goddess is certainly the most influential deity on subsequent cultures. She was the ideal figure of womanhood, usually compared with the Greek Goddess Demeter or her Roman version, Ceres. Isis was one element of a Holy Trinity, the remaining two figures being her brother and husband Osiris and their heroic son Horus. She was the Goddess of Magic for her brilliance, as well as the Goddess of Love because of her tenacious devotion. She is often shown with wings, curving to caress coffins and sarcophagi of many a king. In certain papyri she is shown with her falcon wing headdress, covering her ears. One of her sacred symbols is the sistrum, a musical instrument that was believed to ward off evil spirits. Isis' sistrum was carved bearing the image of a cat and was representative of the Moon. Isis was the High Priestess and an omnipotent magician as well as the only being ever to discover the secret name of Ra. She invariably carries the ankh, the symbol for eternal life. Her name is, by the rules of numerology, adding up to the number “2” and she just so happens to be depicted on the tarot card “Key 2 – The High Priestess”.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 80% on erudite You scored higher than 60% on sensual You scored higher than 60% on martial You scored higher than 0% on saturnine

Well, I have 2 hours left at work (before I head back to MN) and I thought it would be fun to write another journal entry. I know you're all impressed and stuff! (all 2 of you who read this) I think I figured out what was wrong with me yesterday, being all shaky and stuff. I've had this theory since high school that the way my immune system works is by burning things out. I get a high fever and heart rate for a few hours and I'm all better. I had a slight cough yesterday morning when I left MN, it was gone by the end of the night. After work I went to a park to listen to a concert in the park. I was lying in the grass for about 45 min when I realized my heart rate was through the roof. Pulse was 108. That is not a happy pulse rate after laying in the grass for 45 minutes. I was also feeling a bit dizzy... understandable I guess. When the concert ended I gave Andrew a hug and his skin felt very cool to me. Both him and Ash told me I was burning up and to go home and go to bed. I was too jittery to even think about sleep, so I decided to go play Mao with them. As the night went on, and I was able to drink more water my heart rate and temperature started to go down. I would have loved to take my blood pressure and glucose levels when I was at the park. mmmmmmmmmm, I just severely lost interest in writing any more in my journal, so I think I'll go... (hehe, I have my Sarah McLachlan today!!!)

I think of myself as a pretty level-headed person... it takes a lot to upset me. Well there is this man that comes into the store every so often, and never ceases to drive me nuts. He is a very intense person, almost in the kind of way that you can't tell if he's just being bitterly insulting or just being sarcastic. The other day he comes in to buy some guitar strings, and decided he didn't like the price they rang up as. So as he was writing out the check for me he tells me that I don't do as well as Paul... of course I don't do as well as Paul... Paul is the manager... he can do whatever the hell he wants!!! I tell him that (not in as many words) and he keeps muttering about how I don't do as well as Paul. This doesn't really bother me, because I have come to expect a certain amount of annoyance from him... it was his next comment that caught me off guard. He asked me if sales went down when I was working, and told me that if they didn't, they would start to go down. Now if he is that upset at the price we regularly sell the strings at he should go and talk to PAUL about it and not harass me! I will give regular customers who buy a lot at the store discounts sometimes, but not people who piss me off every time they walk into the store!!! Well, piss off is a bit too strong... aggravate is better... Speaking of better, I feel better now. :)

Subject:	The ever constant battle to keep myself entertained...

Music:	2 guys messing around with the guitars...

Hmmmmm, methinks this journal will be a good way to keep myself entertained at work. I'm here at the music store for 7 hours for the second day in a row. There is only so much to do here, and I've already done it all. I mean seriously, you can only clean the glass so many times... I've started to teach myself guitar for lack of anything better to do here. I think the violin lessons I had are coming in handy on the guitar. Apparently my hand and finger positioning is pretty good for a beginner. Having a lot of patience really helps when trying to work in a music store. When there are 3 people playing different songs on guitar... one person trying to play bass with the amp turned up way too loud... and a drum virtuoso {I don't think I spelled that right} playing his heart out I am thankful I'm not prone to headaches. Its Tuesday, I like Tuesdays! I get to go swing dancing on Tuesdays. :) Its one of the things I very much look forward to during the week. Things are slow in the summer up here in Ho-ton. It was a difficult to decide where I wanted to spend the summer. I could go home to Minnesota and spend the summer working at a summer camp and spend the weekends with my family and friends from high school... Or I could spend the summer in Houghton where I could get some much needed time for myself. I decided on Houghton. I really like living in a small town, in some ways this is better than Minnesota, though I still miss my home state. I love how low key things are here, sure this area is caught in a time warp and ever since the mines closed there hasn't been much for industry, but the beauty of the area can't be beat. During the school year the town is invaded by 6-7 thousand college students... a gross majority of which are engineers or scientists. In the summer most of these students go back home, and then the tourists come. I'm glad I stayed up here this summer. It gets kinda boring at times, but I have been getting some much needed time for myself. Though sometimes it just reinforces my belief that thinking can be a very bad thing. I have learned some things about myself... or maybe it only confirms things I already knew. I work best when I have some stress, stress isn't necessarily bad. It helps keep me from being lazy. I love having deep, completely honest, late-night conversations... haven't had one of those in a while. Time to stop being reflective for now... speaking of reflective I should go clean some glass.
