- call former workplace about last paycheck (and if possible, pick it up!) Nope, they mailed it last week, I guess, when I asked.

Opening night was sold out, natch. I guess fire code prohibited the symphony from letting two students into the relatively small hall. *shrugs* We went for sushi at the Japanese restaurant I've been wanting to try for months, in part because Donna was famished from not having eaten since earlier today.
I caved and finally ordered the unagi domburi (heheh,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
econ_cat), but I got to sample Donna's tuna (part of the Rainbow Roll, which consists of "snow crab roll wrapped with pieces of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail"), Mango ("fresh mango and fresh salmon and snowcrab"), Special Crunchy ("tempura sea eel, avocado, snowcrab, tempura batter inside seaweed and rice with smelt roe on the outside, topped with eel sauce"), and Violet ("fresh salmon, snowcrab, and crunchy tempura batter") rolls, one of each. I felt like Belle in "Be Our Guest." That, coupled with the small salad with sesame dressing and the delicious miso soup and several glasses of water -- I was quite full afterwards. (Donna let me take home the leftover sushi, ginger, and wasabi :) Except the saltiness of the meal made me want something sweet.
The Italian gelateria was sadly out of tiramisu by the time we arrived, but Donna bought some miniature biscotti and amaretto merengue-esque macaroons as well as the coconut variety for her parents, while I learned that you can apparently buy a small order of gelato with two scoops/two different flavors. Donna and I split this, nonetheless, since I wasn't too hungry. This was another first, as I had strawberry paired with amaretto, marking the first time that I had ice cream other than vanilla or cookies and cream (not counting the times I had neapolitan ice cream).
Back at Donna's, her mom was baking miniature blueberry-banana-nut loaves for a housewarming party tomorrow, as well as muffin (e.g., 6 to a pan)-sized Duncan Hines yellow cakes. We tasted them before finishing Bridget Jones 2: The Edge of Reason, which I'd begun watching earlier this evening while waiting for Donna to arrive home from work. I agreed with Donna that the fight scene near the end was brilliant.
This evening of firsts and just spending time with a wonderful friend made me realize the silver lining, if you could call it that, in this storm dramaturgy. I am indeed ready to resume school, but I am glad to have had the chance to come home for a few days. My roommate also wrote me back today, and I was relieved to hear from her. I was stricken by a particular part of her message:
"I love the weather (it feels like its time for thanksgiving!) Its been so beautiful down here, I'm guessing its been like that downtown too, today its gotten a little hotter but I hope it gets cooler again. I also love how every one is just taking care of their neighborhoods and friends and there are no schedules to stick to, no one is rushing, no red lights to stop at!, nature is in control of us. It feels very primitive. :P But at th same time I feel like I don't have anything to do, like I'm jst sitting around trying to get the initiative to do my homework. BUt, I have to say, two nights ago my sister and I were driving back to our house after dinner and here was a full moon and it was pitch dark aside from that because the power was out everytwhere, but the moon reflected off the lake and it was so gorgeous. I didn't notice how pwerful the moon was because we can never see its full light because of all our artificial city lighting. It was beautiful."

P.S. The yoga studio will add 4 days onto my next unlimited pass for the days that the studio was closed! Huzzah! I also bought two pretty blue tops for yoga this afternoon after I learned that my gym membership expires on the 23rd.

Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...
8 - the Asserter
Thanks for taking the test !
you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger").
"I must be strong"
Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.
How to Get Along with Me
- Stand up for yourself... and me.
- Be confident, strong, and direct.
- Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
- Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
- Give me space to be alone.
- Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
- I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.
- When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.
What I Like About Being a EIGHT
- being independent and self-reliant
- being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
- being courageous, straightforward, and honest
- getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
- supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
- upholding just causes
What's Hard About Being a EIGHT
- overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
- being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
- sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
- never forgetting injuries or injustices
- putting too much pressure on myself
- getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right
EIGHTs as Children Often
- are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
- are sometimes loners
- seize control so they won't be controlled
- figure out others' weaknesses
- attack verbally or physically when provoked
- take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings
EIGHTs as Parents
- are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
- are sometimes overprotective
- can be demanding, controlling, and rigid
