Personality Test?

Perhaps the umpteenth form of another personality test. You’ve seen billions online, billions in iPod apps, “Which animal are you?” “Which color are you?” You know the usual.

Perhaps, a proven personality test (it’s what they all say, though… O.o) may help.

And this one’s interesting.

It’s on your sleeping habits. (Don’t worry, it’s not one of those ‘quizzes’ with five billion completely irrelevant questions like ‘what did you eat for breakfast this morning’ and whatnot.)

“Your subconscious posture shows your personality blah blah blah”?

Apparently, the way you sleep may show your personality, as this website shows:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3112170.stm

If you’re too lazy to go onto the website, here is a copy-pasted version.

The Foetus: Those who curl up in the foetus position are described as tough on the outside but sensitive at heart. They may be shy when they first meet somebody, but soon relax.

This is the most common sleeping position, adopted by 41% of the 1,000 people who took part in the survey. More than twice as many women as men tend to adopt this position.

Log (15%): Lying on your side with both arms down by your side. These sleepers are easy going, social people who like being part of the in-crowd, and who are trusting of strangers. However, they may be gullible.

The yearner (13%): People who sleep on their side with both arms out in front are said to have an open nature, but can be suspicious, cynical. They are slow to make up their minds, but once they have taken a decision, they are unlikely ever to change it.

Soldier (8%): Lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. People who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don't like a fuss, but set themselves and others high standards.

Freefall (7%): Lying on your front with your hands around the pillow, and your head turned to one side. Often gregarious and brash people, but can be nervy and thin-skinned underneath, and don't like criticism, or extreme situations.

Starfish (5%): Lying on your back with both arms up around the pillow. These sleepers make good friends because they are always ready to listen to others, and offer help when needed. They generally don't like to be the centre of attention.

 

(British thingy, so the spellings may be slightly different..)

 

Isn’t that cool? :D

Tea Brewer!

I have an AWESOME idea. It’s an ATB. It’s an Automatic Tea Brewer. I bet you can make these by assembling things related to clocks, to ovens, and then somehow make it work. ANd WALAH! IS THE TEA BREWER! But although making the actual invention may be important, coming up with the idea is as important. You can have all the knowledge and material to make this amazing invention that will help the world, but just not have that idea of that particular amazing invention in your head.

But of course, the other way around, you can have an awesome invention, yet not have the information. But then again, you can just seek, experiment, and find the information you need.

 

Anyhow.

The Automatic Tea Brewer is an idea I inspired myself with. Well, and tea.

 

Ever wished your mom had your tea ready and waiting every day, so that you could just drink the tea at leisure the minute you came home? But she’s outside working.

Well, here is an excellent solution!

Try the ATB today! Imean, the Automatic Tea Brewer?

Wondering what it is?

…

No? Well, I’ll tell you anyway. THE AUTOMATIC TEA BREWER is an AMAZING product that you, yes you, can install into your stove so that all you have to do is fill the teapot with water in the morning, and come back with the water steaming and hot, ready to be made into tea!

All you have to do is take apart your oven/stove, install some clock part stuff, and then reassemble your oven! Not too hard, if you just follow the instructions without killing yourself!

What it will essentially do is the clock parts, which are the parts that create the alarm to ring at a certain time, will turn on the stove at a certain time. That way, at exactly 3:00, thirty minutes before you come home, your stove will turn on, and the water inside the teapot will start to boil.

When it is 3:20, ten minutes before you come home, the stove will automatically turn off with the second alarm part.

Then, the water can cool for 10 minutes (tea tastes best at a certain temperature), so that when you come home, all you have to do is add the tea leaves, pour the water into the tea-pot thingy, and then wait for only about ten minutes to have nice, warm tea!

Even better, if you like your tea hotter, or if you like your tea cooler, of if you like longer-boiled tea, whatever it may be, you can edit and change those boiling-times and cooling-times to the way you want!

 

That’s my idea. Of course, I don’t know how to make it. Sure would be cool if I did.

If any of you people out there know how to make it, please tell me. Not that I’m the sort of person to go to Lowes and buy some tools to take apart the stove and oven, but you know. Just so I know.  C:

 

Not that anyone reads this besides me, anyhow.

:D Hasta luego, mis amigos!

Phobia Contest

DODODODODODODODODODODODO.... drumroll, please...
CONTEST!

And it's already started. I made this contest a while ago, and I forgot about it, but thanks to Melodee, I remembered about it--
It's a contest against myself.
What? A contest against yourself? Is that a typo? How can you verse yourself in a contest?
It's a phobia contest, hence the title.
Heh. What's the contest--to see who has more phobias? YOU WIN.
Well, no. It's to memorize the most phobias.
WELL, Miss Phobia-Memorizer, then you'll get phobophobia.
Hey, I know that! It's the phobia of phobias!
Duh.
Anyhow, how's the contest going? And how do you win?
Well, since I'm going against myself, it's really a test to see how far I can go in memorizing phobias. Pretty useless thing, but according to Mr. Ferraro, "Sometimes, the best reason to do something is because there is no reason at all."
So, you're saying you're going to memorize a whole list of phobias? Just for the sake of it?
Yeah. And so far, I've memorized quite a few.
List them!
Okay. I'll list all of the phobias I know. You can choose to believe me, or you can choose not to, but I'll swear if I can swear but I can't swear so I'm not going to swear, but if I could swear, I would swear that I memorized ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

Phobophobia- the fear of getting a phobia
Hydrophobia- the fear of water.
Chronophobia- the fear of time
Ecophobia- the fear of home
Felinophobia (not sure if I spelled it right)- the fear of cats.
Bibliophobia- the fear of books
Brontophobia- the fear of thunder
Arachnaphobia- the fear of spiders

OH NO, I forgot some! Imean, I did memorize a bit more, but I just can't remember them.
Or, maybe, I just think I memorized more, but actually I didn't.

Source: www.phobialist.com The BEST place to find the weirdest phobias! Ctrl+F or Command+F (on Macs) and type in the phobia you want!

OHHH
So I looked at the list, and I remember.
I knew what hippophobia was-- the fear of horses (pretty ironic).
And glossophobia--the fear of speaking in public (The King's SpeechCOUGH).


And some new, easy, and interesting phobias:
Graphophobia- the fear of writing or handwriting.
Euphobia- the fear of good news (those people must be really depressed).
Electrophobia- the fear of electricity (Darklings have electrophobia).
Dromophobia- the fear of crossing streets ("Why did the chicken cross the road?" "Because it was finally relieved of dromophobia and wanted to try it out for once." "!?")
Cynophobia- the fear of dogs or rabies (A relative of mine has cynophobia).
Disposophobia- the fear of throwing things out. Hoarding. (I might have slight disposophobia.)
Demophobia- the fear of crowds. D:
Clinophobia- the fear of going to bed. (Little kids have clinophobia. XD)


:DDD Phobia contest FTW!

Raid for Information

Oh. My. Godsh.
I just remembered--the human can only learn a lot until they're twenty years old. It's true. After you're twenty, you can't learn anything too new. Maybe you might learn small facts, but you won't be able to quickly develop some skill after you're twenty. From 0 yrs to 20 yrs is when your brain develops the most.
I am going crazy. I need to eat up all the information possible--in seven years! SEVEN YEARS TO GET ALL OF THE WORLD'S INFORMATION IN MY BRAIN. I need to start.
NOW.
So, I must go to the library and get books on psychology, then get some books on physics, some textbooks in geometry, Calculus, and Algebra II, then get some books on the Theory of Evolution, the science of somethings, this and that fact, learn about architecture and software design and engineering, learn how to do html coding, learn five other languages, study product designing, master the translation of Korean, do this, that, that, that, that,that,that,THATTHATHATHATHATHATHAT.
...Hey, that looks like I wrote "HAT" rather than "THAT." Hmph.
Whatever.

But I'm really freaking out scared.
I need to know LOTS OF THINGS before I lose my ability to learn quickly. O:
After all, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. O:


...WAIT! That means I can't learn all that new technology made after I turn twenty--I'll be like those old people who can't find the start button! D:
(Not trying to insult old people--old people are awesome.)
