Thursday, September 28, 2006

i'm feeling it, i got a ton o' time.

tons of questions that show your in depth side!
basics
whats your name?:Jessica.
what do people call you?:Jessica, Jess, Jessie on occasion. Other things.
where you named after anything?:Where?
if you were born the oppisite sex what would your name be?:Jesse.
do people spell/say your name wrong?:The first one? No, not generally.
if you could change your name what would you change it to?:I like it as is.
gender?:Female.
birthday?:July 15th.
age?:I'm nineteen nowadays ... somedays I feel that's really old, somedays I feel it's quite young.
age you act?:I freak out enough to be in my twenties, but I'm also immature enough to be in my teens still, so I think the in-between 19/20 age is good.
age you want to be?:I'm fine with now. I wouldn't want to go back ... that just is regressive and useless ... and I'm not ready to go too far forward.
height?:5'3". I swear if you ask weight next.
eye color?:All right, fine. You didn't . Green.
happy with it?:Yes.
natural hair color?:Blonde.
happy with it? if not do you dye it?:Yes. No.
righty or lefty?:Righty.
family?:I have one...?
pets?:Yes, I have several.
peircings?:Yes, a few. I'm considering another one at the moment, just because I want to do something semi-reckless and that is the least permanent solution really.
tatoos?:Nope. The permanence is too serious for me yet. There have been very few things I am sure of more than a few years in my life ... I usually amend my "most important" things.
love and stuff
single?:Yes.
who are you with, or who do you want to be with?:I am with myself, my friends, my world. I'd like to be with a few boys I've met here, maybe ... I don't know if I'm really in a relationship place right now.
are you in love?:With the world and its craziness, yeah, always.
have you ever been in love, if so how many times?:Yes, but not necessarily in all the ways I'd like to experience.
do you believe in love at first sight?:Yes, but not in the way that you probably think I believe in it.
is it possible to be faithful to one person for ever?:As long as your definition of faithful isn't outrageous.
do you want to get married?:Yes, I'd like to.
do you want to have kids?:Yes.
how many?:I don't know, one or two. Maybe go crazy with like, eight, or something.
do you believe in divorce?:Yes, mistakes happen. There's no need to live in a mistake for the rest of your life. But I don't see it as an easy option.
do you belive in true love?:Yes, on my good days, I do. Today is a good day.
do you consider love a mistake?:No. I'm more of a "happy accident" kind of person. And I don't even think love falls into that category too often.
turn-ons?:I like kindness, and humor, and on the shallow end cute hair and accents and an infectious smile that lights up his face ... if you like animals, that's a big plus.
turns-offs?:Being unable to read between lines, general bad smell, being completely uninformed.
do you think the oppisite sex finds you attractive?:Some of them do, some of them don't. I think it's that way for all people.
what is best about the opposite sex?:Oh, different things at different times, but relationships are wondrous things (and I don't use that word in the strict relationship sense -- just to mean interactions).
what is worst about the oppisite sex?:Oh same as above. But I do hate how boys tend to be unable to read between the lines of what women are saying. It seems so obvious!
are you a virgin?:Yes.
do you belive you should be in love to have sex?:Well, ideally yes. And definitely for the first time, at least, I'd say. But really are you going to be in love with every person you have sex with and even *should* you be?
how far have you gone?:Probably not. /// I'm not gonna answer that here. Obviously not all the way (see above), but I've played the game for sure.
how many people have you had sex with?:Zero.
do other people consider you a slut?:No, I wouldn't think so.
right at this moment...
where are you?:I'm in my room.
what can you see out your window?:The blinds are closed. I could see the other tower and various buildings.
are you listening to music?:No. Mostly silence and keys clicking.
are you lonely or tired?:Um, not particularly. I feel there are plenty of people around if I really wanted to reach out, and I want to go to bed if only because I want to avoid my studying.
use 5 words to decribe how you are feeling::Avoidant, Flirty, Hopeful, Restless, Nervous.
are you talking to anyone online? if so who?:Nope.
are you talking to anyone of the phone? if so who?:Of the phone? That new planet/race? No.
what are you wearing?:What I wore today ... jeans, a teal tank, and a black sweater. Layers are so sweet, I'm so glad I discovered them. But yeah, pajamas soon.
what are you doing?:Typing this, avoiding studying for my orgo quiz (because I'm terrified I don't understand the material).
whats on your mousepad?:I don't have a mousepad. If I were to buy one ... I don't know. I wouldn't. Ha.
friends
how many true friends do you have?:I don't think "true friends" is really an appropriate term.
are you a loner?:I can be. I need my space.
who is your best friend?:I have different best friends for different reasons. But there are the highest rankers, but I don't really like to name names. They know.
oldest?:Oh we're not going *there*, are we?
newest?:Blah blah blah.
shyest?:I hate these.
loudest?:Honestly
smartest?:I
ditziest?:really
funniest?:really
who is the best listener?:do.
do you prefer to hang out with one friend or a group of friends?:I like both, as long as I'm comfortable with the one friend alone, or the group isn't too huge. I like intimacy.
who do you wish you were closer to?:I have an answer, but I don't want to type it...And really, it's for semi-selfish reasons. Not all, but semi.
who knows the most about you?:If you combined about three or four people's knowledge, you'd have most of me.
who knows the least about you?:A lot of people. People I don't know?
who do you trust the most?:All right, I'm bored again.
the least?:I thought they were getting interesting.
who do you fight with the most?:I was soooo wrong. But yeah, I have an answer for this one too. And it worries me. I don't know how to take it ... it pisses me off *so* much, but at the same time it's end
who do you talk to online the most?:earing...? I don't know. /// That varies.
who do you talk to on the phone the most?:Um, that varies too. I have a dysfunctional relationship with the phone.
do you trust others easily?:Strangers to a certain point, yeah, but it takes awhile for the trust thing, like it should.
name one who's arms you feel safe in::My daddy. How about that.
who house were you at last?:An actual *house*? Not an apartment? Um ... mine, I guess. Awhile ago. We don't do houses here.
who's your second family?:I have a few, and for that I am thankful. Family gives something to me that nothing else does.
who lives the farthest away?:Ha, *I* do.
do you....
smoke?:Nope. Never have. Not anything. Not even a puff. Second-hand, yeah, but otherwise no.
drink alcohol?:Yes.

sleep with stuffed animals?:I didn't used to, but I do now, thanks to my new love Hugh.
take walks in the rain?:Only when I have to.
dance in the rain?:Only when I can. =)
do any sports? if so which ones?:Ha, no, I don't *faire* le sport.
sleep around?:No, I'm usually in my own bed. =)
lie a lot?:Yeah, probably. Not as much anymore because there is less to lie about, but lying is something always readily available for me. No guilt, just usefulness.
steal?:No. Maybe music.
gamble?:No. I don't like gambling really.
have you ever....
kissed a stranger?:Yes. And actually, it was a lovely experience.
slept with a stranger?:No.
spun until you were so dizzy you couldn't walk?:Yes.
screamed so much you lost your voice?:Sort of, like concerts and stuff, but not all the way. I don't know if that's *really* possible. I doubt.
laughed so much it was painful?:Yes.
cried so much it was painful?:Yes. But pain is helpful there. It's at least something concrete and *different* from the sadness.
gone skinny dipping?:No.
played strip poker?:No. I said I didn't like gambling.
had a medical emergency?:Yes.
ran away from home?:Not without the intention of returning eventually.
done something extremely unexpected?:Yes. If not on all fronts, then at least on one here or there.
slept outside?:Yes, in a tent and such, back when I camped.
been onstage?:Yes. I've acted on stage, even. I'm considering taking Acting French in Paris just to get back on the stage. It feels kind of like heroin.
deep stuff....
whats your biggest fear?:I don't know that I have one, and if I do, I'd rather not exploit it.
what was your weirdest dream?:I've had too many weird dreams to pick just one. I like the one where we all live in a ladder/cot world and just crawl around all day on white PBC pipes.
scariest dream?:One I had when I was little including my grandmother, a dinosaur, a mad scientist in a cavernous basement, and vials and vials of blood. Or the repeated Wizard of Oz ones.
do you have a reoccuring dream?:Yes, quite a few. I don't remember all of them until they come back, one by one. Some of them I have since conquered and are gone now, but if they came back again, I'd know
what was your best dream?:them as I do old friends. /// Ones where I get back people I will probably never get back in real life again.
what IS your dream?:I have several.
do you live in the moment?:I attempt to, but at the same time there has to be some sort of remembrance of the past and consideration for the future. But only in twinges.
what you greatest stregth?:I'll forgive the n. And s. And apostrophe. Okay, maybe not. I have some strengths and weaknesses. They balance.
whats your greatest weakness?:Ha, see above. With just the apostrophe.
do you have a motto you live by?:I really like "No Day But Today," but I have a lot of mottos for myself.
if your life were a movie what would it be called?:J.Rea: A Life in the Life
do you have any bad habits?:Oh yeah, tons. I eat the wrong things, things that are bad for me ... I chew my nails, I don't wash my face enough, I am messy, I am neglectful and awful with phones, I doubt
do you have any secrets?:Oh yes. Life is no fun without them. Liberation, blah blah blah -- you need to have something to yourself only.
are you fake?:No...?
what do you want to do in life?:I'd like to be a veterinarian. And I'd like to do a lot of other things too.
are you a daredevil?:I can be, but in general, no.
are you predictable?:I can be, but just when you think I am ... I'm not. Ha.
do you keep a journal/diary?:Online, sortaaa. And travel journals, definitely.

if you were someone else, would you be friends with yourself?:Yeah, sure.
do you think your a good person?:You're. You're. Thus, I am better than you at least, because lord knows I will judge you by your grammar.
do you think your emotionally strong?:You're! Yeah, I can be. Certain things break me down quite easily though.

do you think life has been good so far?:Yeah, ultimately, it is.
what do you like most about you body?:I like that my waist makes a nice little tuck in. Sometimes, if dressed correctly, that shows. But always when I'm nekkid. HA. That reminds me of a quote.
least?:Loooots of other things.
are you trust worthy?:Yeah, I can keep other people's secrets pretty well. My own cause some problems sometimes, though.
are you gullible?:Not generally. I'm too doubtful/cynical for that.

time flies, time dies. riiiiiiight braaaaaaaaaay-ay-ain.

Jessica, you are Left-brained, which means that the left hemisphere of your brain is dominant over your right.




Typically, left-brained individuals like you feel most at ease and in control in situations requiring verbal ability, attention to detail, and in-depth, linear, analytical ability. Writing ability and sequential processes of thought are also traits associated with left-brained individuals. We know this because researchers notice increased activity in the left hemisphere of the brain in people hooked up to monitors when they ask them to perform activities that require sharp focus on detail and organization.

In addition to isolating the ways in which your brain processes information, your left brain also controls the right side of your body. If you are strongly left-brained, you will find that your natural tendency is to be right-handed — though with some skills, you may find that you are left-handed if a left-handed person taught you how to complete a certain task.

You are probably methodical and efficient at many things that you do. You could also be good at math which is based on very strict rules that don't vary terribly much. Numbers are sequential and formulas don't change which is something your left brain can identify with. Because of this, you probably tend to break things down into their constituent parts instead of looking at the whole of a picture. Left-brained people also are likely to rely more on objective observations than subjective feelings. For this reason, you might find that for pleasure reading, you're more interested in the facts of nonfiction instead of the free-flow of fiction.

You probably think about things that are more straightforward and practical instead of things that are more symbolic and abstract. The one rule you're certain about in life is that there is always an answer if you approach a problem with your systematic and organized thoughts.

That's how your brain processes information. And while your dominant brain hemisphere certainly contributes to the way you process information, there is also a style of learning, unrelated to your dominant hemisphere, that determines the ways in which you are best able to pick up information. When you're learning something new, your dominant brain hemisphere will want to take over. But there are times when the information being presented is not well suited to your dominant hemisphere's abilities.

That's why, in addition to your hemispheric dominance, you also have a style of learning that is dominant for you. Whether you know it or not, you are naturally predisposed to learning things visually, aurally, or through a combination of the two.

Your test results show that you are a visual learner.

Other left-brained people who are also visual learners are Leonardo da Vinci, Sigmund Freud, and the astronomer Galileo.< But before delving deeper into how you learn, you should get the basics of your brain's physiology.

Visual
Visual learners focus on information their eyes pick up when trying to learn new information. They learn best when they rely on visual patterns because they prefer to “see” what they are learning more than “hear” what they are learning. They respond well to symbols, written words, images, diagrams, and photos. For this reason, they probably like to have a pen and paper around to take notes, to doodle in a meeting, or to try to synthesize other data. Drawings and pictorial representations often support the information they are receiving aurally and ultimately are what might anchor their knowledge to a given subject. Even if visual learners have printed material in front of them, they still might wish to take additional notes, to add marks to the paper in order to feel they are learning what they need to.

It's likely that visual learners prefer to write a phone number down and try to memorize the numbers on a page or the pattern they create when dialing instead of listening to the number and repeating it. They remember by writing things down and communicate well in this mode. Visual learners are often better at getting their points across through the written, more than the spoken word. This isn't to say they don't ever rely on their ears instead of their eyes. Of course there are numerous instances, which call for them to do so. All this really means is that they're predisposed to learning through their sight.

About 65% of people are visual learners.


Right hemisphere
Similarly, the right hemisphere is not just the seat of intuition. Perhaps it is more intuitively oriented than the left, but in most cases it also identifies patterns and performs spatial analyses. This hemisphere tends to process information in non-linear ways, looking at the whole instead of all the parts that make it up.

When you look at a photograph or painting and notice the overall pattern or abstract contour of the image, it is your right hemisphere that is being activated. As another example, the right side looks at a spiral and sees a unified spiral pattern. Whereas the left side of your brain would see the series of lines making up the spiral and would interpret it in a holistic manner.

What these differences mean for you
As a predominantly visual learner, you likely find visual stimuli much more compelling and comprehensible than auditory stimuli. To varying degrees, visual learners tend to feel that if they can't see it, then they won't be able to properly synthesize it. You might feel a tenuous hold on information that is not presented visually. Might even attempt to turn auditory information into a visual cue you can use by taking notes, scribbling an image or a sign, or even writing down one word to trigger your memory on the subject at hand.

On the other hand, you probably feel quite comfortable when information, even complicated information, is presented to you visually. And because of that you are likely to feel less threatened by even more complex ideas presented in this manner than simpler ideas presented to you through verbal words or sounds.

The reality is that you don't always have control over how information is presented and how you must communicate with people. That is why understanding your learning style, how you learn best, will give you a leg up in today's information-rich world.

Visual learning is your strong suit; view it as such, as opposed to the only way in which you can learn. Auditory learning is not only another option, but it is often a necessary addition to one's cognitive landscape. If you feel you would like to broaden your auditory abilities, perhaps you could consider viewing the auditory process as a visual one. Visualize the words that are being spoken to you, or the words you would like to speak, as a start. That way, you can transition your mind into an auditory modality, and thereby vastly broaden your horizons.

last night i couldn't fight and now i want revenge.

[tell the truth!]
[about you]
are you mature? [for your age]:Yeah, I think so.
do you like yourself? [personality and looks?]:Umm, I like and dislike parts of myself all over.
do you dye your hair? why?:No. I don't think I'd like the upkeep, and I'm fine with my current color anyway.
do you wear a lot of make up/change your looks a lot? why?:No. I just don't ... too much hassle.
why do you dress the way you dress?:Because it's comfortable and yet not ugly ... ?
are you a confident strong person?:Sometimes. Depends on the day.
what are your worst personality traits?:I can be flaky (it's my default instead of out-right mean-ness).
do you have any phobias?:Spiders, snakes, big bugs in general. And dinosaurs. I know, I know. They're unreasonable fears for a reason.
any illnesses, mental or otherwise?:Right now I'm nursing some sort of virus, which sucks and is making me think I need medication to function.
are you a giving person?:Yeah, generally. Except that last little bit where you have to give just a little more than you want to give ... that step is really difficult for me.
are you a clean person? shower every day?:I'm a decently messy person, actually. I mean, I don't want shit molding, etc., but ... I'm not that clean. I generally shower every day, at least every other day.
are you materialistic?:Yeah, I definitely can be. I like my things. I like to shop.
are you creative?:I feel like people see me as way more creative than I see myself, but somewhat, yeah. I like to write, I often feel like painting, and I'm really visual.
logical/practical?:I can be ... ultimately, I won't use logic or practicality as my decision-maker, but it definitely enters in there.
do you care what people think of you?:Yeah, I think there are very few -- if any -- people who don't. They don't make decisions for me though.
why?:Because that's just how we are ... we're social creatures.
do you do things because your friends do?:Not usually, but sometimes. And it's not always bad for me either, because I have a tendency to be a little antisocial and just want to stay in, which isn't always good for me
have you given in to peer pressure?:Yeah, I'm sure I have, but really ... I've been good with this. No drugs or cigarettes, though offered, I don't drink unless I want to, same with sexual things, bad behavior.
are your ideas original or other peoples?:They're a mix of everything I've heard before. In that way, they're mine because no one else has had that combination, but other's too because they came from that.
have you smoked/drank/done drugs?:Smoked, no, nothing ever. Drank, yes. Done drugs, no ... just taken prescription and Tylenol-type.
are you sexually active?:No.
[your friends]
do any of your friends annoy you?:Yeah, probably from time to time.
do you fight with your friends?:I have before. Some relationships are more tumultuous than others.
do you have any grudges against any of them?:Probably. I have a tendency to hold grudges, mostly for stupid shit. Like not being friended on facebook...hmm.
do they have any with you?:Probably, I don't know. I don't like shit held over my head.
have you ever lied to them?:Yeah, but it was probably just in an attempt to help/not hurt them.
have friendships that ended?:Yes.
do any of your friends immiate you/copy your ideas/clothes etc?:Not in any sort of scary way. We pick things up from each other.
if so does it annoy you when they do?:Only when they don't indicate it came from me.
[habits etc]
do you eat a lot of junk food?:No. I don't eat much at all anymore really.
fast food?:Nope. Like, never anymore.
do you eat fruits and vegies?:Yep, that's most of what I eat.
are you healthy or overweight/underweight?:Well, I think I was healthy. I don't know about now, but either way I'm overweight so yeeeah.
do you exercise?:I walk at least ten blocks to school each way each day, usually a few times a day, let alone other outings, so yeah.
do you bite you nails?:Occasionally. Mostly when I'm nervous/have something to do that I don't want to do.
any bad habbits?:Besides the above? Yeah. I don't call people back, I probably don't take good enough care of myself (sleep, food, etc.), I revisit the past a little much.
drink/drug/smoke in excess?:No.
do destructive things?:Probably subconsciously.
cut/harm yourself?:No.
are you an attention whore?:Sometimes. I'm more just an anti-others-being-attention-whores. I don't care about the attention as long as it's not all on someone else.
or a loner?:I'm more this than the former, but not hardcore either.
do you brag a lot?:No, I don't think so.
like to show off?:No. Anything worth showing off, I'm going to doubt my skill at it anyway, so it'll just be nerves for me.
does it annoy you when other people do?:Sometimes. Depends on my mood, my previous feelings about the person.
do you crack you knuckles or other parts?:Yes, my fingers in general, and my neck, and my back sometimes. And my hip sometimes. And ankles/toes.
do you love porn?:No.
are you a sports fanatic?:Not really, no. I love OSU football, but that's getting weirder for me as some of them are younger than me now.
are you obsessive?:Yeah, probably.
have you had unprotected sex? more than once?:No. No.
are you a shopaholic?:Not really. Maybe for shoes.
do you keep up with trends?:Eh, moderately. I watch them as they go by.
herbavore, omnivore, or carnivore?:I suppose I'm an herbivore.
cat or dog person?:Ummm, I don't know. I like them both A LOT. I prefer whichever I'm with, ha. Maybe cats lately. I like that you have to earn their affections.
[last questions]
do you plan on going to college?:Ummm, yeah, I'm *in* it. It'd be a little late to not plan on it now.
if not will you be happy making minimum wage?:No, I wouldn't be happy making minimum wage.
do you have any regrets?:Maybe small ones, but not ultimately because if I changed anything, it'd exponentially change who and where I am now, and I'm not okay with that.
