1. What do you do for fun?
Play with Ada, Play with Mac, watch movies, play video games, sleep

2. Is there a person from your past you would like to talk to again, even if it would be a potentially painful conversation?
Yes, but it wouldn’t be painful at all.

3. What is your favorite comfort food?
What food doesn’t comfort me? That’s the more appropriate question.

4. What is your preferred form of self-expression? (Do you dance; or express yourself through music, conversation, etc.)
Um….

From fridayfiver

1. Favorite brand of jeans:
It depends on my weight. I think that Levi’s fit me better than any jeans that I consistantly buy. My favorite style is low waist jeans. Since I’m so freakishly short in the waist, these jeans fit me like normal jeans. Normal cut jeans fit me like goober pants. I need to buy a bunch in different sizes so that I have a supply before they go out of style.

2. Magazine you read regularly:
I get a cooking magazine, and I do browse through that, although the original purpose was to get to the recipes on their website. Magazines are mostly just a book of adverts.

3. If a button came off your clothing, could you sew it back on?
Yes, and it would never come off again.

4. Have you ever had a curfew?
No, not that I remember. I was a good kid*.

5. Most dangerous thing you’ve done:
Cooking. Heh.

From the altfriday5:

1. How many hours do you normally sleep at night?
Now, probably from 4 – 6. Although Mac is nice to see that I catch up on sleep on the weekends.

2. Do you wish you had more time to sleep? Or do you wish that you slept less?
I wish that I could function better on less sleep.

3. Do you like sleeping?
Yes. I have cool dreams, and almost always remember them.

4. What is the longest continuous period that you have spent awake? Why did you do it?
3 days. My last semester of college I had to take 5 finals, give 3 finals and turn in a math project in the first three days of finals. Since I didn’t have to take 3 finals in one day, and apparently the project didn’t count, I couldn’t reschedule any of them. I almost died.

5. If you were offered the chance to eliminate sleep from your life, with absolutely no negative physical or psychological side effects, would you take it? Why or why not? What if this chance was only possible for you, and not for any of your friends or family, or society at large?

Are you kidding? Yes! Just think of all the things that I could get done! I could spend the everybody-else-is-sleeping time to do mundane things like laundry, house cleaning and so on. Then during everybody-else’s-waking-time, I would be free and open.

Or reading! I might actually be able to read again! Exercising!

Oh, to dream…

Okay, next test.

Personality Assesment

PART 1 -- PERSONALITY EVALUATION:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trait       |<--|---|---|---- Range ----|---|---|--->|     Trait
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introverted        |......X.................................|  Extraverted
Candid             |..................X.....................|  Considerate
Impulsive          |..X.....................................|  Cautious
Excitable          |..........X.............................|  Relaxed

Concrete           |..............................X.........|  Abstract
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|<--|---|---|---- Range ----|---|---|--->|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your Social Boldness: Introverted VS Extraverted
------------------------------------------------------------
You are quite introverted. Socially, you prefer a more
relaxed, low-key environment, rather than the hustle and
bustle of a wild night in the city. You tend not to talk a
lot, but when you do people listen, because when you say
something it has meaning. You are not seeking the
limelight, usually you prefer to let the attention-mongers
do their thing while you observe. In an unfamiliar setting,
you tend to be cautious and shy while you evaluate the
circumstances. You prefer to avoid conflict, so you do not
put yourself into a threatening situation. Your shyness may
be perceived as unfriendly, but that could not be further
from the truth. People need to be patient with you and take
the time to get to know the complex, private you.

Your Agreeableness: Candid VS Considerate
------------------------------------------------------------
You are slightly candid. Social harmony is important to
you, as is evidenced by your cooperative, generous, and
helpful nature. If someone asks you what you want to do,
you may reply, "whatever you want". That is not because you
are indecisive, rather you genuinely want the other person
to be happy, and so whatever they want to do is fine with
you. In general, you are straightforward and sincere with
others, which makes you very likeable. People always know
where you stand. You regard others positively - you trust
people and feel they are honest, so you have no problem
responding in kind. No one will accuse you of being
arrogant. Your self-esteem is just fine, but you do not
think you are better than anyone else. Your desire to help
others is seen in your altruistic nature. You enjoy helping
others and you do not expect anything in return.

Your Self-Control: Impulsive VS Cautious
------------------------------------------------------------
You are very impulsive. You are an independent thinker. You
do not need a book of rules to tell you how to behave - you
know inside what is right and what is wrong and you act
accordingly. You are able to live life spontaneously,
because you are able to make decisions without endless
deliberation. In fact, when you and another person are
making a decision, you are able to reach a solution fairly
quickly while the other person has to cautiously plan every
step. Eventually, they will agree with you, which is
frustrating when your first impulse is usually the correct
one in the decision-making process. You tend to be a little
more casual, and you do not feel out of sorts when your
home or office is not perfectly neat. In general, your life
is pleasurable - you know how to have fun and will never be
accused of being staid or stuffy.

Your Anxiety Level: Excitable VS Relaxed
------------------------------------------------------------
You are moderately excitable. In trying situations, you
feel somewhat stressed and frustrated. At times you are
able to overcome these feelings, but other times you feel
overwhelmed. This could run the gamut of just being in a
bad mood to experiencing anxiety, anger, or depression. In
general, you prefer a stress-free existence, so that the
possibility of negative emotions would not be a factor. You
tend to be somewhat self-conscious in social situations,
and are worried that people may judge or criticize you. You
may react emotionally to people or circumstances that you
find threatening, because you want to protect yourself.
Every so often you cave into urges or cravings. Sometimes
you feel a little guilty about it, other times you are just
fine with your fun streak.

Your Openness to Change: Practical VS Imaginative
------------------------------------------------------------
You are moderately practical. You tend to be more
comfortable when your daily activities are familiar and
unchanging, rather than constantly in a state of flux. You
prefer to deal with facts and not ideas. You prefer to be
more practical and pragmatic, but you are able to be
creative when the situation calls for it. You prefer the
conversation or situation to be more straightforward.
Emotionally, you are more conservative and tend not to
express your feelings openly. You have a proper demeanor,
which summons respect from those around you.

The way you Think/Reason: Concrete VS Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------
You are moderately abstract in your thinking. Your
cognitive style tends to produce a facility for thinking in
symbols and abstractions far removed from actual
experiences. This symbolic cognition may take the form of
mathematical, logical, or geometric thinking, artistic and
metaphorical use of language, music composition or
performance, or one of the many visual or performing arts.
You tend to be intellectually curious, cultured,
appreciative of art, and sensitive to beauty and have the
uncanny abilities to distinguish imaginative, creative
people from down-to-earth, conventional people.

PART 2:  OCCUPATIONAL PREFERENCE EVALUATION:

Investigative (I) people prefer to think rather than to act
or to organize and understand.  They are not apt to be too
"people oriented."  The I type generally likes to explore
and understand things or events.  They enjoy gathering
information, uncovering new facts or theories and analyzing
and interpreting data.  The I type usually has math and
science abilities, and likes to work alone and to solve
problems.  They generally avoid leading, selling or
persuading people.  They see themselves as precise,
scientific, and intellectual.

The adjectives most typically associated with the
Investigative occupational category are:
------------------------------------------------------------
analytical                         cautious
complex                            critical
curious                            independent
inquisitive                        intellectual
introverted                        logical
methodical                         modest
observant                          pessimistic
precise                            questioning
rational                           reserved
scientific                         scholarly

Next are the all the memes/quizzes that I’ve read and had to take.

Take the Rate My Life Quiz

Your Life Analysis:

Life: Your life rating is a score of the sum total of your life, and accounts for how satisfied, successful, balanced, capable, valuable, and happy you are. The quiz attempts to put a number on the summation of all of these things, based on your answers. Your life score leaves room for improvement. You can make changes to improve your trouble areas, and this will bring you greater satisfaction. Focus on your weakest points and set about to change them. Do not delay your happiness and success.

Mind: Your mind rating is a score of your mind’s clarity, ability, and health. Higher scores indicate an advancement in knowledge, clear and capable thinking, high mental health, and pure thought free of interference. Your mind score is not bad, but could be improved upon. Your mental health is not weak, but you are not achieving full mental clarity and function. Learn how to unclutter your mind. Keep learning, keep improving, continue moving forward.

Body: Your body rating measures your body’s health, fitness, and general wellness. A healthy body contributes to a happy life, however many of us are lacking in this area. You have a rather low body score, which means that your physical health is not in a good condition. You must put a higher priority on your body, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction. Proper focus will lead to great improvement, leaving you feeling energetic and happy.

Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score is relatively high, which means you are rewarded by your beliefs. Spirituality is clearly important to do. Never let it slip, and continue to learn and grow.

Friends/Family: Your friends and family rating measures your relationships with those around you, and is based on how large, healthy, and dependable your social network is. Your friends and family score is quite healthy. You have a social network you can depend upon. Count your blessings, but never forget that these bonds need to be maintained. Keep your friends and family close.

Love: Your love rating is a measure of your current romantic situation. Sharing your heart with another person is one of life’s most glorious, terrifying, rewarding experiences. Your love score is very high, which means you are in a very happy situation right now. Do all you can to keep it strong.

Finance: Your finance rating is a score that rates your current financial health and stability. You have a rather good financial score, which is not all that common these days. Keep doing what works. Avoid common pitfalls and save for the future. You will be glad you did.

You Should Get a PhD in Liberal Arts (like political science, literature, or philosophy)

I don’t know about the writer part, but philosophy would be cool. I got my math degree because I loved math, not because I had any career goal in mind.

Now, back to work.

In friendship, you don’t take the initiative in reaching out.
Your ideal jobs are: factory jobs, comedy, and dentistry.
You will leave your mark on the world with your own personal philosophy.

Factory worker, comedian and a dentist? There are three closely related fields.

Oh, I’m the first born.

Here is the latest meme. This is just the <your name> is meme with a different phrase. So, there is the “Melissa needs” google meme. It is amazing how fast these things spread around.

9. Maybe Melissa needs to stick to the subject of music and leave the pseudopsychoanalysis to those more qualified than she
10. Melissa needs a ride and smitten conversation leads later
ride
11. Melissa needs a rehearsal disc for her Grease cast to sing along to
12. Melissa needs some more shoes!

Glorificus 54% amorality, 63% passion, 63% spirituality, 45% selflessness

You’re assertive and have no problems standing up for yourself. And, push come to shove, you’re the closest anyone’s ever come to straight-up beating the Slayer and her gang. Congratulations!

I hit Michael’s today and found the unpainted wood boxes that I wanted. Now, I will paint them myself. I also picked up an unpainted shelf that I will paint and hang in Ada’s room. I may actually finish her room before she is old enough to tell me she doesn’t like it.

All three of my family members are asleep. I need to quickly escape and do some chores!

Now, back to work.
