Aaron, your best quality shines through in how Optimistic you are

The fact that you’re a hopeful and optimistic person who tends to look on the bright side of life really draws people to you! But that’s not the only thing. Your answers on the test indicate you’re a calm, relaxed person who tends to take life in stride. You are a person who is curious, loves to experiment, and tries new things, too.

In all, there are 15 qualities that help define you when you’re at your best. Those are the traits potential employers, friends, and partners look for in you. What makes you unique is your particular distribution of those 15 qualities.

We’ve found that your particular combination of qualities is rare — only 1 in 10,000 people share the same general mix of traits. Those are great odds if you’re trying to show a potential employer, colleague, friend, or date why you’re exactly the right person for them.

Here’s more:

Aaron, your top quality is Optimism.
Combined with your second- and third-ranked qualities, Easygoing and
Adventurousness, you have a very unique set of characteristics you can
use to your advantage.

Only .1 percent of all people share these three
top qualities. While these are your top three qualities, all 15 or your core
qualities contribute to who you are and how you go through life. Find out more
about how you can use this report to promote yourself better at work, in
relationships, and in love.

So apparently I’m a rare gem. LOL. And I don’t have much in the humor department.

Time Out

I think this’ll be my last post for a few weeks. I really have to get on the ball(?) and study a lot more for these classes. I’ll be back in July.

Later!

Latest Dream

I tried going to sleep earlier (~10pmish) cause I was tired. I also thought it was a good opportunity to shift my sleep cycle around. Needless to say, if you look at the entry time of this blog, it didn’t work. It happens every single time I go to sleep several hours early. I always dream a lot and wake up a lot in-between and then I finally wake up only to find out I’ve only slept for 3 or 4 hours. This time I had a dream I was in a local (non-franchised, I think for some reason) fast food resturaunt where people were having a hotdog(?) eating contest. People were talking about the record being 300 hotdogs and had crazy stories like the hotdog poking out of people’s stomachs and that the trick was to ignore the pain and continue eating. Anyways as the dream shifted around, I found myself in a hotel bed. It was nighttime and I was tossing and turning trying to get to sleep as I drifted in and out of dreams(?) where I was singing parts of Handel’s Messiah at a cathedral. Then I was back in the hotel room where I had to wake up early to talk to my dad who was elsewhere (Apparently, we were on vacation and my mom who was sleeping on the bed next to me told me this.) So I get up and walk out and then I walking into a dorm which housed incoming freshman and I was living there yet I was an upperclassman. I still had to go meet my dad, but it was like move-in day and I hadn’t claimed a desk or something. (cause the place I lived in had several people and I guess we had to claim our stuff). Then this guy busts out these huge sunglasses (like 2ft diameter lenses) and was figuring out the case that came with it. Something stupid and technical how it could block out more light in one lens if you attached it a certain way.

The I woke up. I remembered reading somewhere about messed up sleep patterns and how when you wake up in the middle of the night, your body is warm due to REM sleep. Yeah, I was feeling pretty flushed. So to tie it all together, I burped and smelled the smoked sausage that I had for dinner. sausage = hotdog? No more sausages and sleeping early for me anymore.

Pardon The Dust

Sorry for the shoddy appearance of the pages. I’m trying to change the layout. So far I’ve put the entries and links into a table so the links don’t disappear to the bottom like before when the window was too small. I’m hoping to be done by next week.

Valve Gasket

So my car, which I’ve never named (I don’t understand why people name non-anthropomorphic things.) has been leaking oil for the past year or so. Leachin’ out about one quart of oil between changes. It looks like it’s the valve gasket that’s deteriorated. Take a look at some of the pictures:

I’m actually happy about it cause now I have more car things to do when I get back. The gasket isn’t too expensive, and I’ll also get to adjust the valves when I take the cover off.

This day.

I just upgraded the picture gallery to v. 1.3.4. This one includes an option to autorotate images that contain the orientation in the EXIF header.

Cold apple sauce is great on a hot summer day. Good luck studying John.
