OMG I feel dumb

I wish I'd requested tickets to the Daily Show coverage of the DNC weeks ago. *pout*

Your result for The Alice in Wonderland Personality Test...

The Caterpillar

55% Curiosity, 38% Madness and 10% Energy!

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.


`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.


This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'


`What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. `Explain yourself!'


`I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, `because I'm not myself, you see.'


`I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.


`I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, `for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.'


`It isn't,' said the Caterpillar.


`Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet,' said Alice; `but when you have to turn into a chrysalis--you will some day, you know--and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you'll feel it a little queer, won't you?'


`Not a bit,' said the Caterpillar.


`Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,' said Alice; `all I know is, it would feel very queer to me.'


`You!' said the Caterpillar contemptuously. `Who are you?'


________________________________________________________


Inquisitive, a bit mad, and physically lazy, you are the Caterpillar. You like to sit and think about the world from your perch atop a mushroom while leisurely puffing a hookah, occasionally chuckling at your own witty inner monologue. While you are definitely interested in the things going on around you, you simply prefer to enjoy it from where you are rather than go out seeking new experiences.

Privelege Test...pretty good

Your result for The Social Privilege Test...

Somewhat Privileged

65% Privilege!

Approximately 29% of the population fits this result.



You may have had some hardships in your life, but odds are you still live in one of these little boxes on the hillside. Sometimes you might have trouble making ends meet, but you take comfort in knowing you're just an average middle-class citizen--whatever that means.


I recommend that you keep your eyes open for signs of privilege in your everyday life. Notice the people who wait on you and perform services for you. How do you benefit from using people of lesser status than you? Are you more courteous and polite to people who look moneyed than to people who look poor? Is the balance of power between the rich and the poor fair?

I love my new home

Living in Boulder is awesome. For instance, the poly meeting is at 7:30. I live approximately 7 blocks from the library in which we meet. When I was living with my dad, I'd have to leave at 7 to drive into Boulder for the meeting. Now I can leave at 7:15 and walk there.

I was gonna take the bus to class today, but then I realized that I haven't gotten my new RTD sticker. I felt silly driving, but I hadn't left enough time for walking. By the time I had time to go get the sticker, the office was closed. I shall do it tomorrow.

Classes were okay. The two professors I had today seemed pretty chill. Social psych, which is the only class I have on Friday, doesn't take attendance (except with iClicker quizzes), so I could potentially take a long weekend some time.

Take this test; it's awesome!

Your result for The Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything Test...

The Explorer

You scored 25% Egocentricism, 34% Heirarchy, 54% Spiritualityand 50% Morality!

You are the Explorer!
Something is missing. Your giving and spiritual nature has not yet found its reason for being. The higher power and cosmic justice which give your nature meaning are out there, but you can't find them among the many pretenders. Organized religion seems so close, but somehow missing the point- perhaps because you have not found one that convinces you that order and justice can exist in this world. You are The Missionary without the message.



You are mostly selfless. You do not believe in an ordered universe or necessarily in an ordered society. The Soul is more important to you than the physical world. You do not believe there is justice.



You SHOULD: Travel and experience other cultures in the same way that the locals do. This will not necessarily require a significant budget- which you are unlikely to have if you are staying true to yourself; you can do it by volunteering with philanthropic organizations.



You should NOT: Be too quick to settle down. You probably wont find a soul mate until you find your own soul, so have a few meaningful but fun relationships without making too many long-term promises. Become tied down financially or professionally.



Your life will be: Fascinating.

Your life may be: Inspirational.

Your life will not be: Stable.



Your opposite is: The Conqueror.



Your companion is: The Counselor.

Also, classes start tomorrow. I'm not sure I'm ready. I mean, I'm fine mentally, but I don't have my textbooks yet or anything. I'm taking History of Psychology, Social Psychology, Statistics and Research Methods in Psychology (+ a lab), Russian Women in the 10th-19th Centuries, and Cross-Cultural Writing and Film. All of my classes start after noon except my 9am lab for stats on Monday. Yes, a 9am Monday class. How lame is that? Luckily, it was canceled tomorrow. Nothing to do in the lab, yet.

Officially a Boulderite

Yesterday I began the process of moving a bunch of stuff into my new apartment. My lease started on the 1st, but the girl who was living in this room before me couldn't move into her new place till the 18th, so she paid me for 18 days of rent. I now have my own room that people don't have to go through to get to the laundry room and which isn't underneath my dad's room. Huzzah! I can have sex at my place!

It's nice moving from my dad's place because there's no set date by which I have to have all of my stuff out. I can leave whatever I want to there. So far I have with me two boxes that have inside them most of the clothes I usually wear and another box with miscellaneous junk from around my room and decorations for the walls. I also have my toiletries, this computer (my newly fixed laptop!) and a mattress on the floor.

I am suffering from a lack of furniture. Miguel has been storing a bed of his (why he has multiples, I'm not sure) at Mom's and Ira's house and he said that I'm welcome to use it. Unfortunately, the box spring won't fit in Dad's minivan, so when [info]refusedparty, Tribble and I went to get the bed, we gave up on the frame, too. However, when I can find a vehicle big enough to carry the box spring, I will have a four poster bed with curtains! I've always wanted one. I need to acquire a desk/table and as many bookshelves that will fit in here (without causing bad chi). I miss my books.

So, it's a work in progress, but mostly yay. I have stolen internet from the neighbors till we can scrape enough cash together for Comcast.

Did I mention that I can have sex at my place now?

Any programmers need a project?

I had an idea last night for something that I don't think yet exists on the internet. Okay, so I haven't done much looking for it, but if it's not out there, someone should make it. Here goes:

A wishlist social networking site (or perhaps just an application for Facebook). You sign in and make a list of stuff that you might like to receive as gifts and your friends can see the list. You could even have specific lists for different groups of people (I really don't want to get a glass dildo from my mom). The reason it needs to be a social networking site as opposed to just a wishlist like Amazon is that your friends can check off something on the list to let your other friends know what they got you (so you don't get duplicate gifts) but it wouldn't show you what's been checked off.

Of course, my friends are poor, so we hardly ever give each other gifts, but I think this site could be useful for lots of people.

I'm not skilled enough at all to make this, but I bet there's someone who reads this who is.

The Mall of America, depending on your personality, is a lot like either heaven or hell...

I'm leaning towards hell.

*pout*

I got stood up tonight. I called him when I got off work with no answer. I texted him a little while later; also no answer. Gah, boys are sometimes lame.

Walter made up for it, though. When I texted him that I got stood up, he had me call him for a delicious three-hour conversation. When I'm done with my degree, he wants to abduct me to China for a month or two for a romantic imprisonment. *grin*

I love Stumbleupon

Because it finds me things like One Sentence.

She deserved it.

I accidentally cut my finger open while slicing honeydew and bled on it, then licked the blood off, and served it to my mother-in-law.

Found in [info]jslorentz's HelloQuizzy Poly-gon test:

"Say you've got a job offer across the country. A primary says, 'When do we move?' A secondary says, 'When can I visit?' A tertiary says, 'I'll miss you.' Not a description of relative importance, but of life situation."

Also, I got:

Your result for The Poly-gon Test...

Open Relationship

65% Trust, 59% Experience and 13% Focus!

You focus on loving one person and having casual sex on the side. Other romantic relationships may develop, but one person is always primary. The simplest and most common form of polyamory. Can also be in the form of an "Open Marriage".

Yay

My laptop (which has been out of commission for a couple of years due to my and my mother's laziness in regards to sending it in to get fixed) is finally fixed! And the wireless works! At the mall (where I work)!

Unfortunatley, the internet is unpredictable here. Also, my computer decided to install updates and I can't get it to stop. Currently it's at 3% and has been there for the past 15 minutes.

But Yay! computer!

Interesting midnight phone call

So, you probably don't remember Alex (mentioned here). He's a friend of Lee's. He's very spiritual and super into Buddhism. So much so that it kinda gets under my skin. But he also gets under my skin in a good way. There's some sort of magnetism there. The first night we hung out, Lee was inside and Alex came up to me and said, "You don't even know how beautiful you are, do you?" and we had awesome kissing. But I was supposed to be there with Lee, so I put a stop to that (after a couple minutes of hot make-outs). The next day, though, I e-mailed him (he had asked for info about the MSI concert and the play party I was planning to go to) and found him on MySpace. He never wrote me back on MySpace, but he approved my friend request. I also found his band and listened to their songs a jillion times. I couldn't get him out of my head for weeks.

But, I didn't see him again till about a week before Lee left at Masala co-op's full moon dinner. Again, we were both invited there by Lee. We didn't talk a whole lot that night and we sorta both acted like the kiss hadn't happened. We saw each other again at Lee's going away gathering. We didn't talk about what happened, but I know we both felt energy between us. So did Brandon, apparently. He commented about it when Alex and I had an overlong moment of looking at each other. But that was it. Alex and I have each other's phone numbers, but I didn't hear from him after Lee left.

Till tonight. I got a text message at 11:37:

11:37 Alex: ?
11:38 Jessie: ?
11:46 Jessie: What's up?
11:52 Alex: Do you know who this is?
11:54 Jessie: Yes. You are Alex, friend of Lee. Musician and Buddhist.
11:56 Alex: Can you talk?
11:57 Jessie: I have the capacity. What's up?

Then he called me. He said that he just got done with some sort of Buddhist training (he's really hardcore about it) and that I came up a lot in his meditation even though we haven't seen each other in a while. We talked about how strange it is that we feel so pulled to each other even though we've spent so little time together. He also said that I'm the only person he's met who makes space for other people in my energy (or something like that) and that he thinks I'm a protector spirit. We talked about other stuff, too. We also made plans to hang out after I'm done with work on Sunday.

And I was just complaining that I have no local lovers. :) Who knows if this will go anywhere, but the Universe seems to think so.

Hee. Kal Penn is in a season 4 episode of Buffy ("Beer Bad").

Sigh.

Maybe I've been watching too much Buffy. I have a craving for make-outs and biting.

If I were the parent of a vampire slayer, I'd like to think that I'd be cool with them telling me the truth. Joyce Summers is kinda dumb.

Buffy vs. Polyamory

So, I'm watching Buffy. I'm on season 2. I haven't seen these since they originally aired (back when I was in middle school). Anyway, in episode 16. Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered in which a spell goes awry and all the women in Sunnydale become obsessed with Xander, Miss Calendar says something along the lines of "A person can't love two people at once; what we have is real." She said it so off-handedly, too. It bugs me how monogamy is so ingrained in pop culture like that. I'll console myself by remembering that she was confused by a love spell at the time...
