That "Classic Dames" quiz

Well it was annoying to translate all the questions about my "leading man", but at least they answer came out right:

Your result for The Classic Dames Test...

Katharine Hepburn

You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

Because my new grill needs exercise

I know most people already have plans of some sort for 4th of July, but I'm going to have an "Open Grill and Games" party (sort of like an open house, but revolving around the grill) at my place on the 4th. Basic concept: show up with a chunk of protein to throw on the grill, a side dish to share, and an interest in some sort of board/card/whatever game to play (bring your own or see what I can lay hands on). And when it gets near dark, those interested can walk over to the Emeryville marina (ca. 1 mile) and -- fog permitting -- see anywhere between one and four fireworks displays at various points of the compass. Starting time will be nebulously noonish with the grilling starting whenever we get critical mass.

If you're interested, drop me a note (e-mail or via the LJ message link) so I can make sure you have directions. Otherwise this is rather low key: if people show up, they show up; if they don't, they don't. This invitation is explicitly extended to anyone reading it, whether or not you're on my LJ "friends" list. But if I can't figure out who you are, you'll need to tell me before I give you my address.
