Stolen from Diana-chan!

To Diana-chan: Congrats for everything (you know what for since I can't say) and I'm glad you made it home safely.

Anyway, this quiz was stolen from her and it is so true...at least for me it is. Dead on!!!

The quiz: Color Psychology & Personality Test

My results:

1. DESIRED OBJECTIVES OR BEHAVIOR DICTATED BY DESIRED OBJECTIVES.

Wants to make a favorable impression and be regarded as a special personality. Is therefore constantly on the watch to see whether he is succeeding in this and how others are reacting to him; this makes him feel he is in control. Uses tactics cleverly in order to obtain influence and special recognition. Susceptible to the esthetic or original.

2. THE EXISTING SITUATION OR BEHAVIOR APPROPRIATE TO THE EXISTING SITUATION.

Active, but feels that insufficient progress is being made or insufficient reward being obtained for the effort exerted.

3. CHARACTERISTICS UNDER RESTRAINT OR BEHAVIOR INAPPROPRIATE
TO THE EXISTING SITUATION.

Insists that his goals are realistic and sticks obstinately to them, even though circumstances are forcing him to compromise. Very exacting in the standards he applies to his choice of a partner.

Relationships rarely measure up to his high emotional expectations and his need to be made much of, leading to disappointment (often characteristic of mother-fixation, taking the form of either strong attachment to, or resentment of, the mother). Always has mental reservations and tends to remain emotionally isolated and unattached.

Remains emotionally unattached even when involved in a close relationship.

4. REJECTED OR SUPPRESSED CHARACTERISTICS OR ANXIETY-LADEN CHARACTERISTICS.

Stress arising from suppression of physical or sexual desires and insufficient consideration for bodily needs. Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from common herd. This desire for pre-eminence isolates him and inhibits his readiness to give himself freely. While he wants to surrender and let himself go, he regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, he feels, will lift him above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality. Demands esteem from others.

5. THE ACTUAL PROBLEM OR BEHAVIOR RESULTING FROM STRESS.

Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics he admires and to display originality in his own personality.

Needs to be valued and respected as an exceptional individual, in order to increase his self-esteem and his feeling of personal worth. Resists mediocrity and sets himself high standards.

edit x1: Why have I never noticed that Amane Hikaru's SIGN was an okay song? I guess I just assumed it was one of those Love of Prince songs that were terrible...but it really is pretty good. I recommend it!

move's How to See You Again single

Is it just me or do they sound different in this new single?

I mean, I can definitely see move in How to See You Again and in Noizy Tribe but these songs are a little different from their usual... They usually pack more punch in their songs and they're more...I don't know how to describe it.

When I first heard How to See You Again, I was shocked... I mean, this is the new ID:4S OP?! It's so subdued compared to their other stuff... And there's someone singing other than that girl... Singing, not yelling something out in a rap... It's so odd... It's all so weird.

Can we say this is a new move? I don't know. Is this an one time thing or are they evolving from their old style? *shrugs* It is a good song though. I can't see it as an OP very easily but I do hope to see it soon.

Gah, I should put them up just so you can see what I mean. Or...I can't. Apparently NYU has caught onto the fact that I have way more than 50 MBs of stuff on their server but they won't let me delete any of it... It's annoying the hell out of me. Will try tomorrow.

ANYBODY EXPECTING TO BE OUT AND ABOUT IS URGED TO DRESS WARMLY TO REDUCE THE THREAT FROM FROSTBITE.

...

It's stuff like that last sentence that makes me wish I hadn't chosen NYU as my college. I mean "reduce the threat from frostbite"?! FROSTBITE?! I've never been under the threat of frostbite in my life!!! What the fuck?! Grrr... How warmly is warmly? I need to visit Kimmel later today to meet up with the guy selling me that one book... Damn. I knew it was gonna be bad today and I still decided to meet up with him.

Just back

I just got back from getting one of the books I need for my WC: Russia course. I didn't realize that it was written by Stephen Cohen, the guy teaching the course. Damn professors...forcing their own books on us to read... It isn't as if they don't make enough money as it is.

Anyway, I bought groceries so I'd have some food to live off of since the whole dorm room is empty of anything (cleaned out before break).

My arms just wanna die since I've abused them in the last few days. Yesterday, with my heavy duffle bag and today carrying groceries.

But I'm still happy. Sherry has Boursin, her most favortist cheese! I love cheese and Boursin most of all. Their Garlic and Fine Herb version is heaven. I'm spreading it on crackers now... Absolutely to die for. So creamy, so garlicky, so smooth...so good...

Boursin is the best! Before, we bought a two pack at Costco (oh how I miss thee and thy free samples) for about $10. Everywhere else, it's usually $5-6 per pack of 5.2 ounces (really not that much). It's a pretty expensive chese. But the cheese store near my dorm has it for $1.50 per pack! Score! I am so gonna get more later. I already bought 3 packs. Sooo good... Must eat more!

And I got more tactics! Yes! I really love tactics and Kan-chan. Episode 7 is brilliant. Evil!Kan-chan came out to play.

edit x1:

from: Norman cheeses : the boursin

Boursin Cheese

Classifications:

Type: Unripenned spiced triple creme
Milke: Cow. Pasteurised milk
Aspect: Cylinder of 150 gr.
Region: Eure

History:

The Boursin dairy was created in 1957 by Fran輟is Boursin at Croisy-sur-Eure (in the Eure department). In 1964 the Boursin cheese was created, this is a cousin of some of the traditional norman triple creme and unripened cheeses. Since the start it has been produced with pasteurised milk, creme and spices

The Boursin has always been a very innovative cheese. First of all, its aluminium cover easy to recognize was probably one of the reasons of the first success of that cheese. It was also the first cheese to advertise on the french TV in 1968. Its advertising slogan "Du pain, du vin et du boursin" (Bread, wine and Boursin) became one of the most famous of the french advertisement history.

Since 1983, the Boursin society belongs to the Unilever corporation.

edit x2: You know for a cheese spread, Boursin is damn crumbly...

But I still love it because it's very yummy.

And damn my arms are dead. They start to shake when I start lifting them...very bad when you're lifting crackers laden with yummy Boursin cheese on them. :( Type is kinda bad too so I'm gonna stop, watch anime and eat more yummy Boursin. :)

For anyone who has not read it

This is very rare as I don't usually do this. But I loved this chapter too much not to share it. Yagyuu was too cool in it and since he's my favorite player in Rikkaidai, I loved this chapter too much.

For those who have not read the latest FET release of PoT:

Genius 240

I would have put it up on my school server but it still won't let me do anything (god fucking damn it!!!) and I had some leftover MBs that it should be able to take a number of downloads of this file...

Erm, don't mass-share it. I don't mind you telling one or two people and direct linking is very bad too.

Angry Songs

I need more angry songs. Loud, mad, angry, something I can sympathize with when I'm freaking pissed off. Or just because...

Lately, all the songs I have seem to be either pop-py cute or soft sad. And even the soft sad ones are rare...

Xiao said she would see me tonight...but she hasn't come yet. Here I am absolutely bored to death with nothing to entertain me... I was given hope but as it gets later and later (it's really not that late -- only about 9 PM but I'm tired so it feels late) and the time acceptable for company dwindles...

*yawns* I feel like going to sleep right now...

That sucks.

Shiki PV

Mucho gracias to cruel_disorder for sending this to me to help alleviate my boredom. :)

It was a good PV! I really liked it! AMAZING! They couldn't lip synch and they looked really stupid trying to sing along to the lyrics since they couldn't make it look believable at all (looked like they were mouthing random things for no reason) but aside from that, it really is okay.

I loved the little children, the disappearing people, the train (LOVE TRAINS), the sakura... I just wish I knew all the connections I know the PV was trying to do but I can't read Japanese so it was lost on me.

Even their dancing was okay (in the way that I didn't find bothersome). The guy with the long hair looks like a girl with it down but he's cute too so...

I did have problems with one move they did when they had their hands on their chest and started to flap their arms... >.< That just looked wrong... It's at 3:48 if anyone is curious but it goes by pretty quickly so it wasn't that bad. It would have been worse had it before another five seconds... *shudders*

But thank you, thank you, thank you! I love it!

And yes, I'll send it to you Diana-chan. Some time when I have time. :)
