Proud momma

So I got Jboy's report card last night. Jboy is freaky smart, but has gotten pretty horrible grades since he started middle school. Like a low C average most of the time. So, although I was pretty sure he's been working hard, I was a little nervous when opened the envelope (one of those little rip off the edges, like a rebate check...guess they wised up from all of us who steamed open school mail back in the day).
He got 5 A's and a B. The B was from his History teacher, who lives across the street from us. She also gave him "outstanding student" and "good participation" though, so she's just a tough grader. Very proud of him, though I think he was a tiny bit disappointed now that he realizes how long it'll take to pull that GPA back up. I'm thinking he needs a little reward of some kind. Ideas?

By the way...Jboy took the test from yesterday and he's a little Satanist too. 97% Satanist. And...Joss Whedon himself took the Buffy character test and posted his results on Whedonesque.com, so now I don't feel like such a loser taking all these silly quizzes.

So much so that I took another this morning. Have I mentioned how slow our systems are this week? So, which Firefly character am I? Amazingly, not Wash.

RIVER: Fugitive

You scored 75% roughness, 90% intelligence, and 83% isolated!

Congratulations, you are River!!! River is the ship's resident psychic and genius, among other things. She is a mental telepathist, and also appears to be somewhat clairvoyant. She has a tendency to speak not only what is on her own mind (which is often overlooked as gibberish), but others' as well. She is able to use other people's minds as a weapon against themselves. She is a fugitive who was secretly brought on board by her brother Simon. She is forever running from the "Blue Sun" group - a heavily funded top-secret Alliance initiative, so secret that even if Alliance personel get a hint of their presence, they are immediately annihlated. River possesses powers that are a threat not only to the forces pursuing her but also to the Serenity crew, who have given her sanctuary. River is extremely graceful and loves to dance. Something she picked up on very, very quickly. Simon also says lovingly, that she is somewhat of a "brat". Before being rescued by her brother, Dr. Simon Tam, she spent years enduring experiments in an Alliance lab, after she was willingly sent to the Academy by her highly suspiscious parents. The experience has left her forever altered. Now she is plagued by chilling and confusing dreams and recounts of places and people she can't remember - or is to scared to revisit at all. She is undoubtedly a genius of sorts, but one who is tortured by her own intellect. In addition to her heightened mental abilities, she is also preternaturally dexterous and highly skilled in martial arts and weapons combat. However, these gifts appear infrequently; most of the time she swings between catatonia and manic, gibbering fits. River is often unpredictable and chaotic in her bahaviour.But when she completely focuses her mental energy on something..

No Netflix review again. I spent most of last night watching Macaroni play Tony Hawk's American Wasteland while slipping in and out of a boredom coma. I just found out that I can work a little overtime this weekend and Sunday night a bunch of us are going to dinner and a charity shopping event at Southdale. Should be fun, if I can make it through another couple of days at work.
