Analytical Quiz

2007-02-04T15:54:00.000-08:00

You are quiet, skillful and reserved. You don’t mince words. When you finally speak, it is to let people know exactly where you stand.

You are not bound by policy or standard convention, rather your mind is open to every possibility and you excel at finding novel approaches to solving problems because of this.

You are likely to adopt a hobby involving mastery of a tool, such as fishing or hunting, and since you have a special talent for mastering tools you are likely to achieve the highest level of skill in your field.

You are a master of the tools of your trade and an excellent craftsman. Better than most, you know exactly how to use tools for maximum advantage. You enjoy work where you can visually see your results when the project is complete, not matter how simple or complex.

You are not interested in small talk, and actually may speak very little in general when compared to other people. Because you are not very expressive, some people think of you as a loner, and teachers may have mistakenly labeled you as “dyslexic” when you actually were born with an inclination for communicating through actions rather than words. You learn by doing, rather than by hearing, seeing or reading.

Standard grade school was not intended for students like you, and you probably found it incredibly tedious and boring. You were designed to use your hands and mind to master tools which other people cannot. When introduced to new tools, including weapons, your skill develops faster and further, and you speak more technically about it than other’s could even with more time and practice.

You feel most comfortable when other people don’t know exactly what to expect from you. This leaves your options open to take whatever action you’d like without it being particularly shocking to anyone. In fact, even those close to you never know whether you’ll respond to something with instant enthusiasm or reserved thought.

You particularly enjoy unexpectedly stepping up to tackle a mechanical or instrument problem and then solving it with ease, although you’ll steer clear if the problem involves people or attitudes. If you absolutely must refer to the directions then you will read only the part which specifically applies to the problem at hand. You like work which has a definite end, a completion point, rather than “research” or “administration” which could continue on forever.

You are observant and will watch your environment, collecting data, constantly. This makes you especially valuable in an emergency because you are the most likely to have spotted things going wrong and know the source of problems before anyone else.

You don’t waste energy on creating plans which might not work out anyway. You prefer to face each day anew and tackle problems as they arise. You rely on yourself and trust common sense to get things done in nearly all circumstances.

As a parent you do not feel the need to impose yourself or your standards on your children the way others do. In your eyes your children are individuals and you will respond to each of them according to their situations at any given time. Your spouse and your children know that you will give them the freedom and space they need to be their own person and you expect the same treatment in return.

You may attend a big party or social family function, but without a doubt you prefer the company of a few close friends and the tool of your hobby, be it a fishing pole or a guitar.

Fourteen Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn—by Dave Barry

2007-02-02T19:50:00.000-08:00

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.

13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

The World Through My Eyes

I seriously need to bring my camera more often when I go out. There's some pretty interesting moments when I just wish I had a camera. But, before that, I need to get a bag to put my things in... maybe a better camera too.

Life

2006-12-31T18:10:00.000-08:00

Common sense is the most uncommon thing in the world.

Don't let the past create the future, let the future erase the past.

Everyone has to be something to somebody to be anybody, anybody that tries to be everything to everybody is nothing to anybody.

Growing old is manditory, growing up is optional.

Learn from your past. Live in the present. Prepare for the future.

Life is not like a pencil, if you make a mistake, it can't be erased. Life is more like a pen, you can use white out to cover it up, but you'll always be reminded of the spot where you made a mistake.

Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Smile, because it's easier than explaining why you're so sad.

The truth is; we hide so we can be found, we walk away to see who will follow, we cry to see who will wipe away our tears and we let our hearts get broken to see who will come and fix it.

When I do right, no one ever remembers. When I do wrong, no one ever forgets.

You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got, remember what you had, always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret, people change, things go wrong, but just remember life goes on...

"College is about three things: homework, fun, and sleep...but you can only choose two."

"Some people are alive because it's illegal to kill them"

I'm looking forward to this game because it boasts over 100 hours of gameplay. I like really long games, that's why I play RPGs. Also, the battle system is a bit like Kingdom Hearts, so there's no load time in between battles!

About Blogger

2006-12-12T20:40:00.000-08:00

Aw, I tried browsing the blogger site to see what other poeple have done with their blogs, but the nav bar moves around...then i end up clicking on the wrong link, which happens to be "log out". Or, others don't even have their nav at all. Secondly, I couldn't get rid of the header, so I just blended it in with the background. Hide and Seek! Sigh, can't find good free webpages these days.

About My Blog

2006-12-11T20:43:00.000-08:00

My first post on my Goldfishy Blog! And I say:

The Header is not hiding, do not look for it.

About the Layout: I like gold fish, and tiny diagonal stripes! Smash them together for a flavorful layout. I don't like the color orange, but the fish talked me into. The image was taken from a stock photo by cypherstock, and then manipulated, cropped, and doodled on until it fit my liking. But, really, I'm just here so I can make layouts and smile at them. Lastly, I have a tagboard!
