Intelligence

Before I start this post and I get berated by people saying that what I'm about to say means nothing because IQ is a stupid test and online tests are even stupider...I know. I know it all. I am only saying these things because they make me feel good about myself, regardless. That said:

I was bored tonight and took a wonderful spark.com trip in which I took many tests (one of which said they were 20% certain I was a girl...hmm....that seems pretty low....) Anyway I took an "unintelligence test" which told me I was 75% smarter than all others in my gender and age group that took the test, and much more observational as well (noticing traffic lights, things of that nature). However it said I had no sense of humor and no morals...hmm.

After my confidence boost with that test I decided to take the actual IQ test that the site offered. I know, I know, it's not real, blah blah. But I find it interesting that I took a totally different online IQ test when I was about 17 and got the EXACT same score as I got tonight. Maybe it means it's working for me, maybe it's just coincidence. So I guess I'll just tell people my IQ is 120, since that is what both of the sites told me. I really want to take a paper and pen IQ test once though, just to see.

So if there's like a 6 year age difference and you're still the same as you were when you were 17....doesn't that mean you're not any smarter?? No?

I'm just guessing...love you though!

Lol...you would think that, but these things are *supposed to* account for age and make the test harder accordingly. I'm pretty sure that it's doing its job if your score stays consistent over time

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February ...

Silence is Golden

So I can talk. Maybe not as eloquently as I type, but I have no trouble striking up conversations with people. However, talking is not the same as expressing emotions through words, which I have a very hard time doing. I feel like it's very hard for me to say how I feel to people, for fear of getting put down, and sometimes, for fear of hurting others' feelings. Now when Andrew and I were in the process of our horrendously emotional breakup, I was crying a lot, but not saying much at all. So Andrew was confused and tried to get me to emote by constantly asking me how I was feeling, which wasn't helping the matter at all. Well Andrew has just broken up with the girl he went out with after me (BEFORE I started dating Mike, I may add). She's very hurt and keeps wondering what things she could have done to change how he felt and why he didn't tell her much of a reason why he didn't want to be with her. This makes me feel guilty for never telling Andrew anyth...

Hmm I see a trend with who in Hollywood I am attracted to: (besides Hugh Jackman, who is just, in general, the perfect man) Colin Farrell James Spader Sean Penn Olivier Martinez Michael Madsen Russell Crowe The Rock Edward Norton Justin Theroux In case you can't guess....they've all played some real badasses and/or are badasses in real life. I guess I'm just one of those people...you know, the girls who go for the bad guy. Not all the time, but I've noticed I am dramatically more attracted to someone in a movie when they become "bad". Say for instance....Sam Rockwell in Charlie's Angels (I know, bad film, whatever, but it's the perfect example) I could care less about him until the scene where he starts dancing and smoking a cigarette......so hot. Maybe I'm like the people in Crash.....maybe I just get off on violence. I don't think so though, I think I just like the power in people. Power is hot. So is a disregard for the ...
