I Like Rich

OMG! Sooo much has happened since I last posted. I mean, Thanksgiving was okay and all, since I got to see my cousin, which I hadn't for about two years. Besides which, I'm really starting to love this guy I met last week, Rich. God, I hope this works out better. We talked a lot, and he's surprised that I'm so willing to be accepting of who he is, what he does, and who he hangs out with. But hey, that's part of what makes me me. I like to just have people the way they are; otherwise, they're not the same person I met. He's really caring and sweet, and was even worried about whether or not I would be able to get a ride from the airport. (I did, BTW.) I could really see myself, eventually, spending the rest of my life with this man....I may not be IN love with him yet, but I *do* really care about him, which, I guess, in a sense, is love. It's just not the romantic kind yet. Just gimme time. It'll come.

My Name

Baby Names

As Christine, you seek change, travel, new opportunities, and new challenges. Your active, restless nature demands action and you dislike system and monotony. As you are versatile and capable, you could do any job well, although you would not like to do menial tasks. Having considerable vision, you could be adept at formulating new, more effective ways of doing things. You could organize the work of others, though in your impatience to see the job done efficiently, you would likely step right in and do it yourself. You could work well in sales and promotion, and would not be afraid to risk a gamble as the name gives you much self-confidence. You do not find contentment in the routine tasks and responsibilities that are associated with home and family or with administrative detail in the business world, so you have to guard against frustration and even moods of depression over your personal responsibilities. The restlessness this name creates could find an outlet in caustic, irritable expression. Also, the intensity of your nature could result in tension in the solar plexus causing stomach trouble and, because you take your responsibilities seriously you could experience much worry.

The weird thing is that it's very true. I'm adept at many things, very sarcastic, and like to be in charge of what's going on.

New Guy Interest

I can't believe that I haven't posted in 5 days! Well, I guess i've been a lil distracted lately. I met this really nice guy down here, Rich, when I went as chaperone, originally, for a date with him and my friend, Rebecca. But, by the end of the movie, Beccs said she knew we had better chemistry, and so went out of her way to put us together. *grin* He's really sweet. He cares about my feelings and needs and is concerned about helping to make sure I'm eating right, which isn't easy when you've got celiac's disease like me. He's also hot, and a great kisser. I really like him a lot, but, hopefully, can help figure things out while I'm home for Thanksgiving break

More Quizzes

The Color Quiz<---Can be taken over and over at DIFFERENT times with different results, depending on the situations you're in at the time you take it.
Your Existing Situation
Working to improve her image in the eyes of others so as to obtain their compliance and agreement with her needs and wishes.
Your Stress Sources
Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which she imposes of herself or by her own choice and decision.
Your Restrained Characteristics
Exacting in her emotional demands and very particular in her choice of partner. The desire for emotional independence prevents any depth of involvement.
Trying to calm down and unwind after a period of over-agitation which has left her listless and devoid of energy. In need of peace and quiet; becomes irritable if this is denied him.
Your Desired Objective
Badly in need of rest and relaxation, freedom from conflict, and the chance to recover. Wants to protect herself against destructive and exhausting influences. Longs for security and freedom from problems.
Your Actual Problem
Seeks security and a position in which she will no longer be troubled by demands being made on her.

VERY accurate. Right now, I'm trying very hard to relax, which is not easy when I see my ex in class EVERY day! (Well, not for the past three days, since we haven't had class, but still...) Hopefully, when I go home, I can relax a lil by throwing myself into my Bible research. (I have a research paper due on an aspect of the Gospel of John in about 3 weeks.)


Ansir Personality Test
Dominant Thinking Style- Eccentrik
They may dress flamboyantly and act outrageously but there's nothing flaky about them.
They can mentally design and manipulate objects.
Weird is a term Eccentrik becomes familiar with at an early age. For others, such labelling can be a tripping, burdensome cross to bear. For Eccentriks, weird is the wind beneath their creative wings and what lifts their pride beyond pedestrian concern.
There is something within them, some intrinsic fortitude that cannot bend as willow to wind. Eccentriks cannot and will not bend to accommodate. Once on their independent own, the Eccentrik butterfly emerges with a steely-determination to tailor life to fit them regardless of social norm or mores.
What is unique about the Eccentrik mind is its ability to internally rotate ideas. These are purely logical beings who approach problem-solving methodically and with step-by-step thoroughness. Always lurking in the back of Eccentrik minds is the question of whether or not their idea is workable—meaning producible. An idea that cannot be physically realized is a waste of their time.


Dominant Working Style- Diligent
They are reliable and dependable workers, who respect hierarchical order of command.
Logical and perfectionistic, they check and re-check work, and resent being rushed.
Diligents know how to work, like to work, and know how to get things done right the first time around. Their working style is methodical, logical, systematic, and perfectionistic. They are the workplace "pick of the litter" when the call is for dedication, loyalty, and thoroughness. They're worker bees with an impressive intellect and an unwavering dedication to the task, to the goal, and to the company's future.
Detail is their particular ease and expertise. Data measures progress and against the criteria of fact do they gauge success. They will not be rushed, take shortcuts, nor leave until the job meets their satisfaction. And they perform as precisely and reliably day in and day out...though not uncomplainingly.
Routine and predictability are reassuring to security-conscious, goal-oriented Diligents, who also tend to be early risers. Throughout history, education and business have been modelled along Diligent principles of hard work, logic, discipline, honesty, a penny saved is a penny earned, God-fearing, and gold watch retirement. But old world dinosaurs they are not! As Tonto was to The Lone Ranger, Diligents are to movers and shakers.


Dominant Emoting Style- Sentinel
1 of 2 Ansir Instinctives
No pain is greater for them than betrayal.
They keep diaries or personal journals.
This is the most common emoting style of 3 Sides Of You participants. Behind trademark reserve and alluring attractiveness is an individual who is hard to know and hard to love. Trust is the wall that divides. Whether Sentinel trust is an open or shut case, depends on how each has evolved and adjusted to three personality-typical determinants: language, loyalty, and new experiences. Characteristic of Sentinels is a crane-calm look of time suspended stillness or fixed concentration. None other portrays mind-at-work like them. Others are often surprised at the thoroughness and depth delivered when they do respond and reply.
No thought, no word, no action is more painful to these sensitive beings than good-bye. So ingrained is their conviction that all good must come to an end, Sentinels may not risk "hello." To them, happily ever after only happens in fairy tales. And forget that silver-lining crap; the only thing dark clouds bring is rain. If by nature, they are skeptical and by choice reticent, then one question begs answer. Is there a causal relationship between reticence and the fact that Sentinels suffer internal degenerative illnesses more often than others? What is eating Sentinel from the inside out?

This last part is really on target. I found out over the summer that my one romance had been a lie from beginning to end, just so my ex could get something he knew he could eventually manipulate out of me. I now believe that there's no such thing as a happy ending or a diamond ring for me, partially because I don't think I deserve it, but also partially because I just don't think I'll ever get the opportunity to do so.


Life Colors Questionnaire
You scored mainly in the Sky-Fire quadrant. This 'yellow' quadrant highlights the fire sign of your personality and your tendency to blaze across the sky like a comet, taking new ideas and concepts and trying to push them into action. You may well have a vivid imagination and enjoy constantly dreaming up new things to do. Because of your fire sign, you will probably push some of these ideas into action before you and others are ready. You may well be a persuasive person when discussing issues you passionately believe in. In these situations, many people may well be influenced by your apparent confidence.
People who map into this quadrant like to connect the future to the present. Your mind may constantly be exploring possibilities concerning where you are going and what you might do with your life. However, there are times when you could become over-enthusiastic and make decisions before you have fully thought about the ramifications. If anything, your mind might be focused on too many ideas at once. This may result in fewer successes, mainly because of your desire to get into action before you have completely done your homework.
For you there are unlikely to be too many problems. Of all the signs, yours describes someone who can turn a problem into an opportunity. Failure is unlikely to disturb you too much as you have a knack of being able to rebound from adversity.

I'm having fun taking all these personality tests. I like to record 'em here basically for personal usage. But, out of all the ones I've taken so far, this one is so on target, it's scary. But, hopefully, knowing myself better will help me to figure out how to fix my problems. On the good side, I leave for Thanksgiving break in 5 days. Yahoo!

Tests, Tests, and more Tests

Well, just finished taking some tests on thespark.com, and here are the results: 42% Bitch, 34% Slut, and 75% Pure. I also found out that I'll die on December 23, 2057, according to the Death Test. Weird, huh? I also got my schedule for next semester finalized, and this junior has 19 credit hours, with four classes on MWF and four on Tues/Thurs. Problem, on MWF, I don't get out of all classes until 3pm, and on Tues/Thurs, it's not until 5! Ah, well, all in the aim of getting everything done by next Spring.

TheSpark.com's Famous Personality Test PROBER
(Dominant Introvert Concrete Feeler )


Crystal
Like just 3% of the population you are a PROBER (DICF)--curious, passionate, driven, and probing. You're the kind of person who can't leave well enough alone. You have a very strong personality and a sense of adventure. And you'd rather go out and experience things for yourself than take someone else's word for it. Some people probably think you're a maniac.

People have a hard time believing you're an intelligent person. Perhaps there's a reason for this? Time will tell.

WEIRD! 'Cause that's soooo true. Though, not about the believing I'm intelligent part. But, definitely have a STRONG personality.


Your results - one person version
WHAT ASPECTS OF PERSONALITY DOES THIS TELL ME ABOUT?
There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the five dimensions.

Openness to Experience/Intellect |----*------| (45 percentile)
High scorers tend to be original, creative, curious, complex; Low scorers tend to be conventional, down to earth, narrow interests, uncreative. You typically don't seek out new experiences.

Conscientiousness |-----*-----| (55 percentile)
High scorers tend to be reliable, well-organized, self-disciplined, careful; Low scorers tend to be disorganized, undependable, negligent. You are neither organized or disorganized.

Extraversion |--------*--| (84 percentile)
High scorers tend to be sociable, friendly, fun loving, talkative; Low scorers tend to be introverted, reserved, inhibited, quiet. You are extremely outgoing, social, and energetic.

Agreeableness |-*---------| (17 percentile)
High scorers tend to be good natured, sympathetic, forgiving, courteous; Low scorers tend to be critical, rude, harsh, callous. You find it easy to criticize others.

Neuroticism |-------*--| (79 percentile)
High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying; Low scorers tend to be calm, relaxed, secure, hardy. You tend to become anxious or nervous.

This test is a psychological one to determine exactly what type of personality you have. I'm probably gonna be taking a few of these tonight. I'm in a mood to find out what type of person I am...then I'm gonna go watch 'Save the Last Dance'. Never seen it, but, then again, the same goes true for 'Mummy 2' and 'Monsters Inc.', and I really wanna see them, too

Christmas Plans

Trying to figure out what to do about Christmas, 'cause I REALLY don't wanna go back home. But, I don't like staying down here, since the guy I went to banquet with is back with his girlfriend, one of my friends, but lately, she's been acting so possessive! I mean, John's just trying to be my friend, and give me a listening ear, since he's the only person I've found so far who I truly believe understands where I'm coming from. But, she seems to think that I'm trying to take him away from her. I mean, back when I asked him to go with me to banquet, after she broke up with him, she thought that we had been dating behind her back or something, and that I did that purposefully to hurt her. Excuse me? Since when was I the one who's heartless? But, now, I feel like a third wheel among most of my friends, considering I'm one of the few singles. It's not fair! But, then again, when is life ever fair?

Trying my darnest to keep from crying....It's just so hard to see that other people have happy families that are glad to see them home, while I have my family going in fourteen thousand different directions at once....we're just not much of a family now, and I don't know what to do exactly.

One thing that I've found, looking back on the past posts, is that this is one way for me to unwind after the long day. It's sorta like an online journal, without any purient details. I just like the fact that I have a place I can unload all my grievances and such on, and not hear any complaints!

Life Sucks Sometimes

Well, just trying to get used to things, now that I know that I'll probably die a single woman...Why does doing the right thing have to be so tough? I'm trying to finish all my fanlistings, which is hard when you can't find pix for layouts! Well, I'm getting a few of 'em done.

Books to Recommend

Not much going on right now. It's an interesting book, but I'd really have to recommend Jeffery Deaver, writer of The Bone Collector, for a really good thriller. I'll try to put down all of the current info, such as the fact that right now, I'm in the middle of reading Secrets of the Heart, a romance collection, and Nora Robert's Carolina Moon. If you get a chance, check out the Nora Roberts fanlisting here. I'm listening to both '80's Rock & Roll Greats, like Starships's "We Built This City On Rock and Roll" and one of the local country stations down here. I'm also having fun being one of the VERY few single young adults in my congregation, and seeing my friends in coupledom mooning over each other makes me sick to my stomach. I know I did the right thing by letting Rob go, but does it have to hurt so much everytime I see my other friends so happy with each other? Or am I an aberration when it comes to romance?
