This was the easiest internet test I've taken yet... i was drawn to the answer in about half a second. No mistaking it.
I don't know if I like the Spock parallels, but otherwise I think it's pretty cool.
Your Brain's Pattern
|
Structured and organized, you have a knack for thinking clearly.
You are very logical - and you don't let your thoughts get polluted with emotions.
And while your thoughts are pretty serious, they're anything from boring.
It's minds like yours that have built the great cities of the world!

Ah... the Monday Meme, or MeMe as it's known in some circles. Or as I like to call it, "
me, me, me."
I've been
dared to participate, so here we go:
Never again in my life: will I really mean "never" when I say "never". Discuss.
When I was five: Richard Nixon had just famously said "I am not a crook"; after which Gerald Ford was confirmed as the President by the Senate following a vote of no-confidence against Supreme Chancellor Valorum. Or something.
High School was: "youth wasted on the wrong people".
I will never forget: November 28th, 1985. March 31st, 1996. September 11, 2001. August 2nd, 2002. And a hundred other things that I don't have the dates for. I just hope I can get them all written down.
I once met: a really pretty girl, and married her, and started a family. Cool.
There's this girl I know who: could make any computer program break just by looking at it. Our software developers would have hated her, but she was really cute and always flirted with them. We had very well-debugged code.
By noon I'm usually: hungry.
Last night I: Made/ate/cleaned up dinner, bathed Reilly, shined the sink & counter. Oh, and I configured and tested virtualhosts on the new apache httpd, and updated the address and CNAME records in DNS. Then I got all sleepy.
Next time I go to church: I'm going to take more snacks with me.
What worries me most: Finances.
When I turn my head right, I see: a sage-green wall
When I turn my head left, I see: window blinds, hiding the world from me... or vice versa
If I was a character written by Shakespeare, I'd be: running like H-E-double-toothpics. I mean everyone, like, dies tragically in his plays. DUH
By this time, next year: our house will be consistently well-kept, savings will be growing steadily, and I will be able to, on the spur of the moment, take my family to the orchard during a weekday if I want.
A better name for me would be: fairly useless in getting my attention. Sometimes I don't even look up when I hear my current name.
I have a hard time understanding: why people believe anything they read on the Internet or in their email.
If I ever go back to school I'll: be on the other side of the desk at the front of the room.
You know I like you if: I smile and make fun of you.
Darwin, Mozart, Slim Pickens & Geraldine Ferarro are: four people who have never been in my kitchen. (Bah. Obvious and lame... sorry.)
Take my advice, NEVER: go into a dark basement when you're not a regular in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
My ideal breakfast is: pecan pancakes with real maple syrup, crispy bacon, a sausage patty, and (if winter) hot chocolate. All of which I don't have to prepare myself.
A song I love, but do not have is: usually playing on the satellite radio at TGI Friday's
If you visit my hometown, I suggest: you keep driving to where I live now, instead.
Why won't anyone: make the people who are
so sure they're right tell us exactly how they know?
If you spend the night at my house, DO: stay up with us, snacking and chatting until we can't keep our eyes open any longer.
I'd stop my wedding for: no reason that I can think of.
The world could do without: myspace.com.
I'd rather lick the belly of a cockroach than: that of an angry elephant.
My favorite blonde is: four years old and the happiest person I've ever met.
Paperclips are more useful than: push pins when you need to open a stuck CD ROM drive.
San Diego means: it's the more common name of St. Didacus of Alcalá, who was canonized in 1588 by Pope Sixtus V. Since you asked.
Oh... I guess I should also say something along the lines of "The Law of the Intar-web demands that you answer these on your blog. The Law Must Be Satisfied."
Or not.

n. (figurative) a set of a great number of opportunities to combine
In the last little while, I've enjoyed reading about the activities my nieces and nephews enjoy — soccer, swimming, piano recitals, youth symphonies, plays — and I find myself eagerly looking forward to seeing Reilly "at play" when he gets older. And I wonder what it is he'll be interested in.
A preschool boy's focus is constantly shifting — trains, planes, superman, spiderman, basketball, soccer, crafts, cars, dirt — and play, play, play. He lives life as it's meant to be lived — in the moment. It's exciting, and dizzying, to see him taste so many different things.
We are going to have a great time as we share our loves with each other. I look forward to taking him sailing, to the theater, camping, horseback riding, ice skating, travelling, and out for wonderful meals. And he'll out of necessity (and hopefully joy) share his interests with me. What will it be? Basketball? That seems to run in Maren's family. Music? Art? Golf? (If he's doing it, I might actually like it.) Math? History? Animé? Entymology? Soldiering? Politics? Stand-up comedy? (I put those last two next to each other on purpose.)
I can only wonder, do my best to keep my eyes open so I don't miss anything... and try not to worry that I already have.
