A personality test

From some institution full of experts. Apparently I'm introverted, easily stressed and highly self-critical. Tell me something I don't know, why don't you?

Though it also says I'm liable to develop depression. Well, thanks for the prior warning! I'll be on the look-out.


What about ink blot tests? Well...

http://www.jokesunlimited.com/inkblotquiz.php (give credit where credit is due, this is where I got the picture).Call me crazy, but I see a juvenile criminal mastermind who has just finished his dastardly invention, which he shall use to concur the world. Hmm... maybe that's not healthy. I mean, sign of paranoia maybe?
 I see elephants.http://www.metamorphosism.com/?p=3086
 I had to be cheerful for once, since usually I'm all "our world is doomed" and other depressing stuff like that. (See other blog.)
So now you know I'm utterly crazy. (Way to go self, you've totally made people want to know you.) (Oh, great now I'm talking to myself too.)

The Ink Blot stuff was originally posted on my other blog actually, but I thought it was random enough.

More Angelness

I'm perishing in suspense. Angel: A Maximum Ride Novel is sitting on my table right now, and I can't read it. This blog post it actually homework for Futures Forum (see earlier posts), because the blog site were supposed to use it a pain.

Anyway. I only just got Angel because, despite the fact that I pre-ordered the darn thing about two weeks in advance, Chapters did not see fit to give me the book until now. An entire ten days after it came out! Grr...

Anyway. On a different, though related subject, Maximum Ride is coming to a close. In 2012. I believe that means one last book (after Angel). And, don't get me wrong, I love this series so much, and I'll be sad when it's over and everything, but I think it might be time, since the plotline in book six was, to put it nicely, kinda scattered, and we've been waiting for the saving of the world and/or Apocalypse since book one. (Talk about a run on sentence.) So what will happen in the end? James Patterson seem content to torture me, making me wait an ENTIRE YEAR. But anyway...

A Link

This is freaking fabulous!

I wish we had something like this at our school. We do have some very gifted poets though. And some people who should seriously consider counseling.

I think that someone should start an advise wall or something.

Erm. Not that I support graffiti or anything. But I still think it's cool.

Happy Singles Awareness Day!

To some of you out there, today might be Valentines day, a day to celebrate love with your significant other. However, another holiday falls on february 14th, however, and that is Singles Awareness day, otherwise known as S.A.D. It's a day to celebrate being single, in all it's glory! It makes a day previously kinda miserable to single people more fun, because you can choose to celebrate how aweosme it is to be without ties!

So, Happy Valentines Day to some of you, and Happy Singles Awareness Day to the rest of us!

Squirrel Sanctuary

Apparently there are actually squirrel sanctuaries. My Furtures Forum teacher (see earlier posts) found a baby squirrel. And he was wondering what to do with the squirrel. And, lo and behold, there was a squirrel sanctuary nearby! So they exist. Who knew?

Does School Destroy Creativity?

Well, I've been complaining about this for a year, and apparently some big important guy agrees with me. The video's kind of boring. We watched it in this awesome pilot program (that means the school course is an experiment, in this case we're trying out different kinds of learning and using technology) that I'm taking part in.

Basically, school teaches us to fear mistakes, when this is an important way we learn.We learn by making mistakes. We learn by altering and improving ideas. School teaches us that it is better to stay quiet than make a mistake. We are drafted into a certain learning style. If you don't learn that way, well, too bad, stinks to be you. If you are ADHD, then there is something wrong with you. You need to be medicated so you can be the same as everyone else. They are turning us into cookie cutter students!

Someone who doesn't learn the way they are "supposed" to, will feel unintelligent. I mean is that good for out self esteem? I think not. I'm an example. I can't do math. I'm horrible at it. I don't remember formulas. I take notes that confuse me when I read them at home. The teacher's teaching me and I'm thinking "does not compute". I am no good at math. There's a reason I was in a horrible mood for a whole semester (is the such a thing as math-induced depression?).

So, basically, we are taught that creativity is bad. That we need to learn this way, and this way only. Otherwise there is something wrong with us. Is this right? Anyway. I have to go now. Just something to mull over. I'll probably post this on my other blog too. We'll see.

Mona Lisa...a Man?!

So, apparently researchers have decided that the ever-famous Mona Lisa might actually be a dude.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you should already have some idea of what the Mona Lisa looks like, but here you go anyways.

Now, I normally wouldn't make a huge deal out of people speculating the mysteries of an old painting, because you're supposed to do that, right? Isn't that part of what makes art interesting? But I think all this speculation should be laid to rest and forgotten. Like I said, mystery is part of the fun of art, and if we know everything about a peice, it's just not as fun. It'd be like reading Harry Potter for the first time, and being told Dumbledore dies.

Well, that's my opinion, anyways (But seriously, it's not fun to be told things like that when reading. I was just starting the sixth when someone told me Dumbledore dies. It kinda ruined some of the book for me).
