I say yes when I ought to say no

About Me

Hmmm... I'm a recent graduate of USC (Trojans, not the Cocks) School of Architecture who after trying unsuccessfully to get a job in Los Angeles, returned to Reno, NV to be promptly hired by a local firm. And as much as I think Reno blows, the firm I work for is really cool and the people I work with are awesome so it makes up for it a little. That said, I try to skip town as soon as I get our of work on Fridays. Destinations include, Sacramento, SF Bay Area, Los Angeles (when I'm feeling ambitious), or any amusement park within a 500 mile radius that is open.
And since everyone else has these:
You are Michael.
Which Queer As Folk Character Are You?

Congratulations! You are Lynette Scavo, the
ex-career woman who traded the boardroom for
boredom, mixed with moments of sheer panic as
the mother of four unmanageable kids.
Which Desperate Housewife are you?

You Are 50% Weird
Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it! How Weird Are You?
You Are Miss Piggy
A total princess and diva, you're totally in charge - even if people don't know it.
You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won't settle for anything less.
You're going to be a total star, and you won't let any of the "little people" get in your way.
Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift! The Muppet Personality Test
