The Everything Test

There are many different types of tests on the internet today. Personality tests, purity tests, stereotype tests, political tests. But now, there is one test to rule them all.

Traditionally, online tests would ask certain questions about your musical tastes or clothing for a stereotype, your experiences for a purity test, or deep questions for a personality test.We're turning that upside down - all the questions affect all the results, and we've got some innovative results too! Enjoy :-)

Personality
You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about self than concerned about others, more atheist than religious, more dependent than loner, more lazy than workaholic, more traditional than rebel, more engineering mind than artistic mind, more cynical than idealist, more leader than follower, and more extroverted than introverted.

As for specific personality traits, you are greedy (67%), horny (61%), romantic (57%), adventurous (56%).

Stereotypes
Punk Rock80%
Prep69%
White Trash50%
 
Life Experience

Politics
Your political views would best be described as Socialist, whom you agree with around 50% of the time.
  Socioeconomic

If your life was a movie, it would be rated PG-13.

Courtesy of [info]myranti A bit off in the agreeable section. I am arrogant and don't care about people. Or something. I guess there should be a distinction between friends and strangers there.

INTERPRETATION NOTES
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 likable. 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 very excitable. You do not like stressful situations. You tend to react emotionally to stress, which can lead to bad moods, or even anxiety, anger, or depression. You like to be treated fairly, and may become upset if you sense that someone is trying to cheat you. You may find urges and cravings irresistible to the point that you are giving into them even if you know you will regret it or feel guilty later. Sometimes you may feel uncomfortable in social situations, even thinking that others are judging you. This self-consciousness may show through as shyness, because you do not want people to think poorly of you. You tend to worry and are apprehensive in unfamiliar circumstances.

Your Openness to Change: Practical VS Imaginative
You are slightly practical. It is apparent to those who meet you that you are well educated. You are able to speak on a complex level to one audience, but adjust to a more basic level for another. You are bright and capable of thinking logically. On one hand you are down-to-earth and traditional, while on the other hand you are creative and imaginative. Sometimes you feel more comfortable with familiarity and routine in your life, other times new and novel experiences are more enjoyable. You are not afraid to try new things. You tend to like to do a variety of different activities, so you do not grow bored.

The way you Think/Reason: Concrete VS Abstract
You are slightly concrete in your thinking. Your thinking is neither simple nor complex, to others you appear to be a well-educated person but not an intellectual. You tend to be intellectually curious and have the uncanny abilities to distinguish imaginative, creative people from down-to-earth, conventional people.

Steak and a BJ Day Mar. 15th, 2007 @ 10:38 am
I hope everyone had as enjoyable of a Steak and a Blow Job day as I did! Although why some people need an official holiday for this is beyond me. I mean, every day could end up Steak and a BJ Day.

Mebbe I am just spoiled.

The word of the past year goes too....

Outrage!

Yes, every organized group has decided they have something to be outraged about. It is becoming increasingly difficult to look at any form of media and not see that outrage has become a serious threat to our lives.

The most recent incident was when the National Foundation of Mushroom Sauté'ers became outraged over a news article that included a picture of the inside of a mushroom growing shed. "The interior of the shed was cast in poor lighting and we feel that people will now think mushrooms spawn from the pits of Hell." said one such member. The party to blame was a 7 year old girl, Betty Shenanigans, who got her first digital camera 2 weeks ago and wanted to take pictures to share in class. Bob Fumbuck of NFMS states "Normally, we would endorse such a creative endeavor of a child, but because she showed these pictures to her class, there is the possibility that her fellow students will grow up not liking mushrooms. This is detrimental to our economy and so we are forced into legal action."

Betty is scheduled to appear in court in 3 weeks. NFMS is seeking the death penalty.

To make matters worse, Betty's father is an active member in the American Energy Conservationists, who recently released a press release noting their outrage that the method of death penalty used might in fact be the electric chair. "While the child is only 7 and will take less energy to kill, it is still a wasteful application of energy" noted chief chairmember Fred Micropenis. He continues, "What they should do is instead is put her in a wood chipper and spread her out over some farm as fertilizer."

Unfortunately, Microsoft, who has been working recently to make a fertilizer solution for all farms became outraged at these comments. They were not available for comment as to their reasons.

--------- End of Article -----------

But seriously, the fast food employees organization was outraged at the super bowl commercial that featured k-fed because they didn't want fast food service to be thought of as lowly. The Mayans were outraged at Mel Gibson's apocalypto because he showed their primitive rituals in their barbaric state. And most recently, check this one out: http://film.guardian.co.uk/apnews/story/0,,-6477993,00.html

So, I officially name OUTRAGE the word of the year, and will be creating a website for people to join and be outraged about all the outrage.

Well, it has finally happened, my hotmail account, through the past few years has worked itself up exponentially in terms of spam. At this point, I get 1 spam message roughly every minute, and that is just what gets through the spam filters. Argh.
» Poor Bill
He got so owned on both shows, I had to make an LJ icon for it. Greg will get it and laugh :)



I can't seem to find the clip of O'Reilly on the Colbert Report yet.
» Updates
I suppose it has been a while since i posted anything of actual content. I blame Katherine and her quick ability to write what we do out in such detail :)

Engaged
At any rate, as everyone knows, I am now engaged. On the surface it doesn't really feel any different that being boyfriend-girlfriend, but every once in a while I get this impressive feeling that washes over me. This is the woman I am going to spend the rest of my life with (or hers depending on who dies first). The actual wedding is a ways out, due to financial restrictions and Katherine's strong desire to have our wedding be on our anniversary, but we still have been talking about semi-specifics. I think both of us want to be making some progress towards it and not just feel like we are floating out in limbo while waiting.

Specifics covered thus far:
- More-than-likely in Atlanta
- Catholic wedding ceremony in church
- Reception at Botanical Gardens
- Candles instead of flowers (sorry Mario)
- Afternoon / Evening wedding
- Wedding dress will have red in it
- Wedding dress will allow boobies to be noticed (this is an Eric requirement)

Skiing
Myself, Sung and Charlie will be heading out to Vail February 6th - 10th for skiing. I've never been out there for skiing, so I hope to return without catching a mild or severe case of death. I am also wondering how my neck and shoulder are going to hold up, but you can't live your life afraid. You can live your life in a cast though, so I'll do my best to avoid that. Besides, I know that while I am actually skiing I will feel no pain, only the high I get feeling snow driven air flowing over my as I speed down a mountain towards certain doom. Or children. Personally, I would rather ski into certain doom than certain children.

Teh Hawt Secks
It still continues to amaze me how I can have such amazing sexual encounters with Katherine after 3 years. We both can make each other feel like we just started dating and are experience aspects of each other for the first time. I hope that once I get into better shape it will be even better. Cardio and yoga, woohoo. Endurance and flexibility are the gasoline and matches of sex.

Getting in Shape
Since my auto accident, I have put on about 25 pounds. Most people tell me they don't see it, but I see it and feel it, so that is all that really matters. I have started hitting the gym as best I can as well as engaging in normal physical activities when possible. I still don't feel like I can rock climb, nor lift heavy weights, but in the mean time, I am starting to watch what I eat again in conjunction with giving myself 45 minutes of cardio at least 3 times a week.

I had forgotten how difficult it can be to feel motivated towards working out. On the one hand, I am in a relationship, and so that lowers motivation since we always feel like we don't need to impress the other person anymore. It's bullcrap, but it's how people end up feeling. On the other hand, going over speed bumps and feeling random parts of your body jiggle help to combat that.

I have set myself a goal, and that is that by the end of this year, I will be in the best shape of my life. Not unreasonable, but definitely a challenge.

Cooking
Katherine got me this uber food processor for Christmas (see, you can buy kitchen appliances as gifts). With it I have finally mastered making perfect curry paste. I am sure many of you will get to experience it soon. I also now have a collection of about 10 big cookbooks. Granted, half of them are Thai food related :)

I hope everyone is enjoying their life on some level today.

Good News: My individual stock portfolio has overtaken the S&P at +13.42% for the year. Yay!

Bad News: My body is falling apart. Seriously. And that has resulted in massive depression.
» My woman totally r00lz
She got me a private lesson at a Thai cook's house. We were there for 4 hours and boy did I learn a lot. I love my woman.

Later we went and saw a play at Push Push called Nobody Here but us Chickens, which we both enjoyed.

Happy 3 years!
» Damn it
I still have no idea why I am living in the U.S. I definitely am still moving to Australia/New Zealand in the next couple years. Not sure why it has taken a backseat lately. A few months back it was all I could talk about.

On an unrelated topic (or is it), I am apparently horribly fat, as my weight has now reached a ridiculous 245. I was around 215-220 at the beginning of this year. So fuck this sedentary lifestyle I have managed to work myself into. My life needs to revolve less around sitting on my ass eating curries and drinking wine and more about the things I really enjoy that are more active in nature. Har, no pun intended.
» Heroes
Wow, the show Heroes is totally freakin awsome. I think it is my new favorite. It's like X-men without the super uniforms or randomly assumed technology. The characters have more depth than I would have thought possible given the brevity of the series thus far.

I am glad television has started to deviate from the evils of reality tv and taken the new route of thought provoking thrillers. Granted, it is only a matter of time before it gets taken too far, which is what I see happening to Lost lately. Mind fuckage for mind fuckage's sake is a fine line to walk on for show writers, and I am a bit scared that the writers of Lost, desparate to get more viewers, will shatter their show.
