Coffee Test

Okay, switching gears a little bit.  I've already had two cups of coffee today, thanks to my Keurig that I got for my bday this year. It's amazing. My mom bought raspberry iced tea and I'm drinking that right now.  It's frustrating to make though because you have to fill your cup with ice so the tea cools down, but then when the tea pours in to the cup, it overflows and makes a giant mess.  What a pain.  It's not bad though.

You Are a Driven Espresso Drinker

You are hard working, hard coffee drinking, and very efficient. Let's be honest - you don't have the time for a fluffy sugary coffee drink. You are a straight shooter, and you never hesitate to tell it like it is... with no sugar coating. You don't mind paying a lot for quality - because you never buy what you don't need.

Well, I do like my sugary coffee drinks, but they're too bad for you. Plus they go against my personal wariness of high fructose corn syrup.  But I blame college for my espresso addiction.  Yes, I am hard working and I drink a lot of coffee because I (usually) spend more time working than sleeping.  And it takes way too many cups of regular coffee to make up for it.

Sex and the City

I rented Sex and the City 2 from Redbox today.  I have every intention to watch both movies today. So in honor of the occasion: Sex and the City quizzes!

You Are Most Like Carrie!

You're quirky, flirty, and every guy's perfect first date. But can the guy in question live up to your romantic ideal? It's tough for you to find the right match - you're more than a little picky. Never fear... You've got a great group of friends and a great closet of clothes, no matter what! Romantic prediction: You'll fall for someone this year... Totally different from any guy you've dated.

I've always thought of myself as a Carrie. I do have a romantic ideal and I am picky, about everything. So I like this. For more than one reason.

You Date Like Carrie

You want true love, but romance has always been a roller coaster ride for you. You keep thinking you've settled down - just to get hurt again. Or in some case, you do the hurting. You are doomed to repeat your patterns until you change them. And unfortunately, you are a creature of habit. Deep down, you are a true romantic, even if you are a bit jaded. And you'll get your fairy tale ending!

Which Sex and the City Girl Do You Date Like?

This sounds about right too.  I've always thought my "Mr. Big" is out there, but he's more Aidan. What I mean to say is that Aidan is my Mr. Big. Or something like that.

I've decided to cut my marathon short. I'm just going to watch SATC2. Not because I don't love the first movie, because I think it's 100x better than the second, but I have seen it at least 50 times since it came out. And there's a Pens game tonight.  I can't miss that!

How much can you tell about a person after 4 questions?

A lot apparently.

Your Four Sided Personality is USWR

Side 1 of your personality is unassured. You don't like to mention your accomplishments, and you prefer to let others talk. Side 2 of your personality is straightforward. You don't stretch the truth, and you take things as they come. Side 3 of your personality is warm-hearted. You are interested in people, and you get along well with others. Side 4 of your personality is reserved. You are a private person and often don't have much to say.

I feel like those are some bold statements to say about 4 broad responses. There's no middle ground here and I think that's lame.

Which Rodent Are You? (Seriously?)

This was the "next quiz". So I just went with it.

You Are a Hamster

You are easygoing and friendly. You connect quickly and easily with others. You are popular, mostly due to your laid back attitude. People like to be around you. You may feel like you are a bit of an oddball, but you always seem to find kindred spirits. You don't trust just anyone, but you do place your trust in those who have earned it.

What Rodent Are You?

Blogthings: A Fine Line Between Insight and Stupidity

I could be a hamster I guess.  They're cute enough. But you know what hamsters make me think of? Okay, this is going to be a long tangential story, so just go with me here.  I like to watch Spongebob when I'm stuck at school in the middle of the day before my tutorial meetings and there's always commercials on for the Zhu Zhu things.  They're toy hamsters.  I guess they run on batteries or something, but I find it really interesting that there are "girl" Zhu Zhus that are princesses and dance and stuff and there are "boy" Zhu Zhus that are ninjas and fight each other and stuff.  What is the deal with that? I mean, I like princesses and all, okay, I love princesses.  I wish I were a princess! But I like ninjas too! And maybe if there were a girl playing with those ninja hamsters when I was 7 years old, I would like ninjas more than princesses.  I'm just saying.  It's sad that boys and girls are still so obviously divided in their toys.

Back to what I was saying about this quiz, though.  I am laid-back and a goof-ball, but I'm pretty much a pushover.  If you're nice to me, I'll believe (almost) anything you say.  Yes, I'm aware that I might as well have tattooed "Lie to me" on my forehead, but I'm serious.  I like to believe the best in people, especially when they are right in front of me saying things to my face.  It takes a fantastic actor to lie straight-up into someone's face and make it believable.  So I wouldn't say I'm gullible, I just expect the best out of people. Does that make me sound like a hamster? 

Bubbles!

This quiz seems a little out there to me.  "Imagine you're blowing soap bubbles"??? Really?

You Are a Perfectionist

You are not a person who is concerned with details. You only tend to see the big picture. You are slow to act. You like to weigh your options carefully before deciding what to do. You are a dreamer, but you often make sure to act on your dreams. You don't just like to imagine! You are content and harmonious. You've made your peace with the world.

The Soap Bubble Test

Blogthings: Free Quizzes for Everyone

At first I didn't agree with the whole big picture vs details thing, but then I realized that I only caught the part about only tending to see the big picture when I thought it said I was a person who is concerned with details.  Yep, clearly I'm not that concerned with the details as I thought. 

I don't think I'm slow enough to act. Well maybe in real life, I don't know. I just feel like I've made a lot of hasty decisions, just because I hate making decisions and if I just do something, I don't have to think about it anymore.

Dreamer yes, follow through-er, maybe not so much.  I did go to school for creative writing because I loved to write though.  Unfortunately, I don't love to write nearly as much as I did before.  I think I get too bogged down in doing everything "right".  This is why I disagree about not being concerned with the details: when I try to write fiction, I get so caught up in making sure that everything is accurate and makes sense.  Like I really wanted to write a story about Elizabeth Bathory in the spring, but I was too worried about the Hungarian landscape to actually write anything.  I know, I know, that's what revision is for, but I'm lazy and I like to cut corners.  One less revision means one more hour to watch Gossip Girl.  Besides, I do like to just imagine.  That's half the fun! (Okay, 99% of the fun.)

Here's another one I like

I'm a fall baby.  No wonder fall is my favorite season.

You Are Thoughtful

You are a selective and sometimes critical person. You examine everything carefully. You are exacting. You like to be able to have as much control over your environment and as possible. You like to have meaningful social interactions. You prefer relationships that are fulfilling and not casual. You are sensitive and observant. You have a heightened awareness of everything going on around you.

I agree 100% with all of this. Especially the last two.  I love getting to know people, I'm just shy. And I'm super-duper sensitive.  I just can't help it.  Always have been, always will be.

I do this everyday with the cds in my car

You Are Brilliant

You prefer music that is quirky and catchy. You just seem to gravitate toward indie artists. You are creative and offbeat. You do things in a more colorful way than most people. You are artistic in many facets of your life. You have a natural style and understand what looks good. You are lively and enthusiastic. You hardly go a day without feeling inspired.

Work is Hard. Time for Blogthings!

This makes me smile because this is how I want people to see me, even if I'm not sure it's really how I see myself. Does that make sense? If only I really did feel inspired everyday. Le sigh.
