quiz: what kind of shoes are you?

Posted on by

Shhhhhhhhh. Don’t tell the boss. Yet another nail upon the head quiz, except for that non-judgmental thing. Only inferior people are non-judgmental.


You Are Bare Feet


You are a true free spirit, and you can’t be tied down.

Even wearing shoes can be a little too constraining for you at times!You are very comfortable in your own skin.

You are one of the most real people around. You don’t have anything to hide.

Open and accepting, you are willing to discuss or entertain almost any topic.

You are a very tolerant person. You are accepting and not judgmental.

You should live: Somewhere warm

You should work: At your own business, where you can set the rules

Amy TanShhhh, it’s a surprise!

What: The Shebeen Club Presents: Amy Tan’s Birthday Party

When: 7:30pm-9:00pm, Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Where: Upstairs at The Shebeen, behind The Irish Heather, 217 Carrall Street in Gastown

Why: to celebrate Amy Tan’s Birthday, duh!

Who: Contact lorraine.murphy AT gmail.com for more information

How(much)? $15 includes presentation, dinner of bangers and mash or vegetarian pasta, one celebratory beverage, and mingling.

Resurrecting the Old Skool Shebeen Club tradition of celebrating authors who are not actually present, we move up from our former practice of toasting dead celebrities and begin to celebrate the living! Amy Tan is deservedly one of the best-beloved authors on the contemporary fiction scene. February 19th is her birthday, so we have arranged a short presentation on her life and works and her (I’m sorry) don’t-quit-your-day-job rock band, the Rock Bottom Remainders. If anyone has a CD, you’re welcome to bring it!

7-7:30: meet and mingle
7:30-8: listen and learn
8-whenever: The Joy Luck Club Literary Lottery: good luck!

The coveted Blogazine Award

Unless you won it, too.

I have created an award just for this group of bloggers. Those who create an online magazine full of interesting and differing articles. Some original work and some work found elsewhere and given a personal spin. Bloggers who give us, not just the minutia of their day but add other content to amuse and educate us. Who trawl the world of cyberspace to bring us the best available news and information. Those bloggers who give us an online magazine – blogazine editors! Modern day Dewitt and Lila Wallaces.
