Spock has always been my role model

Your result for The Personality Defect Test...

Robot

You are 71% Rational, 43% Extroverted, 29% Brutal, and 29% Arrogant.

You are the Robot! You are characterized by your rationality. In fact, this is really ALL you are characterized by. Like a cold, heartless machine, you are so logical and unemotional that you scarcely seem human. For instance, you are very humble and don't bother thinking of your own interests, you are very gentle and lack emotion, and you are also very introverted and introspective. You may have noticed that these traits are just as applicable to your laptop as they are to a human being. You are not like the robots they show in the movies. Movie robots are make-believe, because they always get all personable and likeable after being struck by lightning, or they are cold, cruel killing machines. In all reality, though, you are much more boring than all that. Real robots just sit there, doing their stupid jobs, and doing little else. If you get struck by lightning, you won't develop a winning personality and heart of gold. (Robots don't have hearts, silly, and if they did, they would probably be made of steel, not gold.) You also won't be likely to terrorize humanity by becoming an ultra-violent killing machine sent into the past to kill the mother of a child who will lead a rebellion against machines, because that movie was dumb as hell, and because real robots don't kill--they horribly maim at best, and they don't even do that on purpose. Real robots are boringly kind and all too rarely try to kill people. In all my years, my laptop has only attacked me once, and that was only because my brother threw it at me. In short, your personality defect is that you don't really HAVE a personality. You are one of those annoying, super-logical people that never gets upset or flustered. Unless, of course, you short circuit. Or if someone throws a pie at you. Pies sure are delicious.



To put it less negatively:

1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.

2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.

3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.



Compatibility:


Your exact opposite is the Class Clown.


Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Emo Kid, and the Haughty Intellectual.

If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.


The other personality types:

The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.

The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.

The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.

The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.

no place like home

I traveled to SF to see my sister and renew my passport August 20 through Sept 3. It was exhausting and I was surprised by how much I missed my gritty Mexican city.

The heat was unbearable and I couldn't sleep. Yes, I'm talking about Northern California! I don't remember it ever being that hot when I was a kid except for one day in 1973 when the digital thermometer at the cinema complex in Concord said 121 degrees. It felt darn near that this year, I swear it.

And my sister - I do love her so - has slipped into a habit of negativity. God I hope she doesn't find this journal. It comes out when she's driving. As if everywhere she has/we have to go is of utmost urgence and everyone else in the world is an asshole or an idiot. Her constant complaining and occasional swearing absolutely grated on my every nerve.

Miguel and I are going back for a week on Sept 23. Yes, it's voluntary. My company is having a party and we're both invited and they paid for the flight, so we decided to stay an extra week to hang out with my sister since we're going as a couple and Miguel hasn't been north in almost two years. We will have our own rental car ;o)

last one for the night, Miguel just got home

Your result for The RPG Class Test...

Druid

33% Combativeness, 53% Sneakiness, 79% Intellect, 58% Spirituality

Sneaky, cunning, and spiritual: You are a Druid!


Druids work with nature to cast their spells and favor balance over extremes. They're shapeshifters, capable of taking the forms of natural creatures. While they don't always deal well with people, they do have animal companions to come to their aid.


You are probably intelligent, spiritual, and more than a little deceptive. Fortunately, your lack of violent tendencies means you are also likely to be level-headed.

    Your result for What Kind of Kid were You Test...

    Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)


    You were the one who always was first to raise you hand when the teacher asked you a queston. Or maybe you were too shy for that, but you certainly knew the answer. You loved to learn. You hated gymastics at school though.



    Your social skills probably left something to be desired, but there were always "uncool" kids like you, for you to hang out with. And you knew how to have fun in your own way.

    Your result for The Superhero Archetype Test...

    Might with Magic, You're the Magician Hero

    5 Magician

    Magician Heroes get their power from sorcery dabblings or inherent magic ability. They are people like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, but with spandex and a taste for justice. Their magic ability is broad but can be focused and used as spells, of which there are a limitless number. This makes them diverse and one of the most powerful heroes, granted they know the spell to begin with.



    The Good: Magic is everywhere so you are never really "without" your powers. A simple muttering of syllables or a waving of the hand can get you out of even the most horrid capture situations. You also don't need to be in-costume on to use magic. But you probably should have it on so commoners don't mess with you.



    The Bad: Magic is your bread and butter. Your body, when not augmented, is fragile and feels the burn from using difficult spells. Also, learning and mastering new spells takes time. So if you aren't ready for the danger you face, you have to withdraw and come back later with a different arsenal of spells to get it done.

    omg and a Gypsy, too!!

    This website's tests are uncannily accurate!

    Your result for What Mage Are You?...

    Gypsy

    “In order to tell tales, the fates use our souls.”

    Gypsies are visionaries. They are quick to see complex interrelationships between people, things, and ideas. The result is an in-depth understanding of the way things and relationships work, and how they can be improved. To the Gypsy, competence and intelligence are particularly prized, both in themselves and in other people.



    Gypsies are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick, enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, and resourceful. They are motivated by a desire to understand and improve the world they live in. They are usually accurate in sizing up a situation. They may have a perverse sense of humor and sometimes play devil's advocate, which can create misunderstandings with friends, coworkers, and family. Otherwise they are ingenious and adept at directing relationships between means and ends. “Think outside the box," devising fresh, unexpected solutions to difficult problems are a few ways to picture them in action.



    However, they are less interested in generating and following through with detailed plans than in generating ideas and possibilities. When Gypsies are used correctly on a team, they offer deep understanding and a high degree of flexibility and problem solving ability. They regard comments like "it can't be done" as a personal challenge, and, if properly motivated, will spare no expense to discover a solution.



    If you've ever witnessed a miracle while listening to a song, you can bet that it's the work of a Gypsy. No matter how desperate the situation may seem, their song and dance will inspire you to achieve a miraculous victory. Enemies will lose everything, even their hearts. Gypsies understand their opponents better than most and so they know how to use their enchantments, adept illusions and dangerous charm. One might never know their losing until they wake up - that is if they do. Most are diviners, capable of telling the stories to come.

    Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

    NBPC - The Daydreamer

    Nature, Background, Big Picture, and Color

    You perceive the world with particular attention to nature. You focus on the hidden treasures of life (the background) and how that fits into the larger picture. You are also particularly drawn towards the colors around you. Because of the value you place on nature, you tend to find comfort in more subdued settings and find energy in solitude. You like to ponder ideas and imagine the many possibilities of your life without worrying about the details or specifics. You are in tune with all that is around you and understand your life as part of a larger whole. You are a down-to-earth person who enjoys going with the flow.

    Olympic reverie

    We haven't had television since 2005, but Miguel bought me rabbit ears and hooked them up yesterday so I could watch the olympics.  They are still worth running all the way home from school to see.  (I spent a lot of time in summer workshops at school - latch key kid.)

    Aug. 11th, 2008

    Monday, Monday

     Long Monday.  This whole political thing is disgusting. 

    Aug. 9th, 2008

    Ok, Brett, I've signed up, now what?

    Journal.  Hmm.  We'll see.  No promises.  Okay, one promise - I promise that I will not edit this site as if it were a professional submission.  I will just let it flow.  

    Today we went to the movies and saw the new Mummy movie.  Does Brendan Frazier ever age?  I don't like the new Evy.  Just not the same spark.  And their kid should definitely be more charismatic.  The witch was stunning.  Loved the yetis.

    I never thought I'd say this, but I hate cooking with gas.  I tried to make pecan pies today, but the temperature gauge is numbered in celsius and jumps from 150 to 200 and the equivalent of 325F is 163 - where the hell do I find that without any hash marks?  And while we were at the fancy mall today I asked at the cooking store for an oven thermometer and they looked at me like I was crazy.  Anyway, it was going along just fine for 30 minutes, when I opened the door to take the aluminum foil off the top.  Then about 5 minutes later the damn things were boiling and the sugar spilled over and started burning.  I let them cook the full 50 minutes and then I just couldn't stand the burning smell anymore, so I took them out and sat them on the stove top to cool.  My pretty little pecan borders have sunken below the surface.  God only knows what they'll taste like.

    My cakes, however, have turned out much better.  Less sugar, less fuel for the fire.  I will not post the recipes here, but I have invented two new cakes that went over very very well with my captive, skeptical, Mexican audience.  The secret ingredient is chili powder.  I call it "pastel enchilada" - chilied cake.  There is a cold version and a regular cake version and they were both EXCEPTIONALLY delicious.  My in-laws thought I was crazy, and I don't understand why - jeezus, they put chili on everything here and even have candy coated with chili powder.  I was really surprised by how shocked they were at the idea.  But they loved the taste.

    My attempt at making jalapeno jelly, though, was a spectacular failure.  (Can you believe they have never even heard of jalapeno jelly in Mexico?) By some miracle, we did find Granny Smith apples, but the recipe also called for cranberries (no luck) or commercial pectin (also no luck), so I used cactus fruit because of the slimy texture and I replaced one cup of the sugar with raw honey (like my Joy of Cooking book says I can).  The result was a very thick, almost jelly, syrup that tasted to me like a honey and lemon cough medicine that leaves your throat scratchy because of the jalapeno.  Or it could have just been that my taste buds are broken because I've been sucking on Hall's mentholyptus for weeks to calm a leftover cough.  My brother-in-law liked it a lot.  My sister-in-law tried to put it on the pancakes this morning.

    By the way, back to the pecan pies, you cannot buy Karo syrup at the grocery store - they only sell it at the pharmacy as a digestive aid for children.
