Quick story:
Ever had one of those days where you are so exhausted that a pure caffeine IV drip would be unlikely to help pry your eyelids open?
I had a really busy weekend, and here I am on Monday morning at work going through my tasks, finished my XS Energy drink (I don't like the taste of coffee, so this is my caffeine source) and half-way through the morning I am trying desperately to keep the sleep in my eyes from clouding my vision. My eyelids are so heavy, it is doubtful if I could get my contact lenses in.
To wake up a little, I wander into the kitchen to get a glass of water. This is more for the exercise to get blood flowing in my system than it is to actually get something to drink.
I'm standing at the sink, cup held under the faucet of the water filter, my other hand twisting the knob, turning it, pulling it up and down...it won't budge! I'm starting to get a little angry....when I suddenly realize my hand is firmly grasping the spout of the soap dispenser, and not the toggle switch for the water filter at all.
Doh!
I laughed out loud and shook my head. The kitchen was empty, so no one else heard me (I think).
The good news is that I am much more awake now than I was previously - laughter is the best medicine for sleepiness, too, it seems!

What kind of D&D character are you?
Just for fun, I took this quiz to find out what I would be (note that it is based on 3.5 edition, I believe). The questions are interesting, for certain, and much more thought-invoking than one might expect! I enjoyed going through the list and keeping it as honest and open as I could. I was surprised to see the choices made for me in the results.
Personally, I like my character, I think I rock. =-)
Alignment:
True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbours and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Primary Class:
Fighters- Fighters can be many things, from soldiers to criminal enforcers. Some see adventure as a way to get rich, while others use their skills to protect the innocent. Fighters have the best all-around fighting capabilities of the PC classes, and they are trained to use all standard weapons and armour A fighter's rigorous martial training grants him many bonus feats as he progresses, and high-level fighters have access to special melee manoeuvres and exotic weapons not available to any other character.
Secondary Class:
Clerics- Clerics act as intermediaries between the earthly and the divine (or infernal) worlds. A good cleric helps those in need, while an evil cleric seeks to spread his patron's vision of evil across the world. All clerics can heal wounds and bring people back from the brink of death, and powerful clerics can even raise the dead. Likewise, all clerics have authority over undead creatures, and they can turn away or even destroy these creatures. Clerics are trained in the use of simple weapons, and can use all forms of armour and shields without penalty, since armour does not interfere with the casting of divine spells. In addition to his normal complement of spells, every cleric chooses to focus on two of his deity's domains. These domains grants the cleric special powers, and give him access to spells that he might otherwise never learn. A cleric's Wisdom score should be high, since this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.
