I was pretty bored this morning and decided to try some of those great personality tests that are available online. Overall they seemed pretty accurate, at least a lot more so than those ubiquitous anime quizzes where you can get whichever character you want (woot, I am Nara Shikamaru). I had taken a paper Myers-Briggs test before, but these seemed so much easier to score. I also decided to take an Enneagram Personality Test, even though I had no idea what an enneagram was. I thought it would be a psychology term, but it turns out those psychologists have been dusting off copies of Neon Genesis Evangelion. When I last took the test, I was an ENTJ, although the Intuition/Sensing and Perceiving/Judging components were close to the borderline. This time the results were slightly different, as I came out as an ESTJ (Extroverted (E) 65.63% Introverted (I) 34.38%, Sensing (S) 51.61% Intuitive (N) 48.39%, Thinking (T) 62.5% Feeling (F) 37.5%, Judging (J) 55.56% Perceiving (P) 44.44%). There is more of a P/J gap now, but the S/N still wavers. I’ve actually developed a feeling component (I scored 0 for feeling on the pen/paper version…), but the E/I and T/F components seem pretty set. I am an “Administrator”, much like 13% of the population. The idea of pen and paper Myers-Briggs tests sounds like D&D. Reflex save!
As for the enneagram test, I am an 9w1 (I’m in the regressive section >__< ), although I'm right on the border between 9w1 and 1w9. I wonder if this means that I am conflicted... My Vmean is 2.76 and my Hmean is 5.00, although these numbers don't really mean a whole lot to me (see what I mean? nyuk nyuk nyuk ^__^ ). At least both my surface and overall personality match (although the overall one is a little closer to 1w9). Here are the descriptions for my surface and overall personality. All these results lead me to believe that SimilarMinds sees me as Asakura Yoh with “a high libido”…
Update: The Homestyle Bake was surprisingly decent. It was kinda like a beef stroganoff type dish, and it is definitely something to keep around in case of emergency. I would put it in the same taste category as medium-grade ramen (the high-grade stuff I had in Taiwan was better that some real restaurant ramen!), as it requires the same ingredients and is about as tasty.
On a different slant (enough about me), here is yet another reason to want to go to Japan. CaseArts beware!
I finally got around to clearing the yard of all the debris left behind by Hurricane Isabel. There were leaves, branches, and pine cones scattered everywhere, and it was just getting to be downright dangerous to walk down the long driveway. In fact, pine cones are noted as being the greatest contributor to rolled/sprained ankles south of Maryland. Ok, I just made that fact up, but I seriously felt like I was on greasy roller skates every time I stepped on the bed of pine cones. It took a really long time to haul away the mounds of yard debris. Looking back, I suppose it was worth it.
Last night was the season premier of Alias. It was a very mysterious episode, and there was a lot of information crammed in. I enjoyed it, but one thing that bothered me was how Sydney was able to blow up the car with only one round from a handgun. Maybe the bad guys she was chasing were in a Pinto…
Also on last night was the season premier of The Practice. Man, are they trying to sink that show or what?! That new guy is so damn annoying. Does someone own put options on The Practice stock??? Sure they let Bobby, Lindsay, and Helen go, but at least they kept Jimmy *sarcastic*.
Finally checked out the Neji vs. Hinata fight. Poor Hinata -__-. Having to spend all that time with both Gai and Rock Lee has obviously made Neji mean and bitter. Those eye veins are creepy!
In non-digital media news, today I am experimenting with Banquet’s “Savory Beef & Sour Cream Sauce with Mushrooms” Homestyle Bake. Not only is the name extremely long, but Banquet claims that all you need to add is water! Included in the kit are biscuit mix, pasta, and dogfood-grade beef. Supposedly, with only 1 and 5/12 cups of water, I can make a “truly complete, delicious, real homestyle dinner with less effort.” Yum…
I had been pretty motivated to do some more Shaman King art, but then summer hit, and I accidentally packed away my tablet. Tons of other obstacles and hijinks ensued, and this piece ended up sitting on the backburner for about 4 months. Not too much to say about this piece, and towards the end I just wanted it to be finished. I used those lame sample pics included with Windows XP as backgrounds, though I made them into blurry stained glass.
Today was one of those beautiful lazy kinds of days, where much was accomplished, but much was left undone. After almost 4 months, I FINALLY finished the Shaman King fanart I had started waaaaaay back in May. Not only did I forget my tablet over the summer, I was also sidetracked by a week-long power outage. Towards the end, it was practically an albatross around my neck. But no more! It is done, and now I can move on to other subjects. Since I have yet to finish the revamp, here are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of some colored pencil pieces I did over the summer. I finally had them scanned at Kinkos. Colored pencil always scans so poorly, and I was too lazy to clean it up. I want to do some Naruto fanart!!!!!
There was also much apartment cleaning done today, and now the living room is absolutely pristine.
