Hand-Raiser
You are 57% Rational, 57% Extroverted, 0% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant. You are the Hand-Raiser, that annoying kid in class who always had an answer for everything. No doubt, as a child you probably sat in the front of the class, anxiously waving your hand back and forth in the air while your teacher desperately tried to avoid calling on you because you were the ONLY fucking kid that answered her questions. Clearly, the key traits of your personality are your rationality and your extroversion. You are like a little talkative calculator, in other words. You also tend to be rather gentle and less arrogant than most people. So what is your defect, then? Well, you're boring, and when you're not boring, you are just plain annoying with your ultra-logical responses and constant need to talk to others. So keep waving that hand in the air, son. I'm still not calling on you. You are too logical, you talk too much, and your humility and gentleness only makes me hate you more, because they make me feel like I almost SHOULDN'T hate you. But I do. Big time.
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.
2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.
3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Brute.
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Braggart, the Haughty Intellectual, and the Robot.

I thought this was pretty hilarious. Though I wasn’t EXACTLY the child portrayed in this quiz, I must admit to being more studious than most children my age. I’ll also have to agree, I’ve made some enemies because I’m so chill about everything. Especially when good things happen, they just sort of fall on my lap. HIYO! But really, as action-packed and humorous as I might come across, I’m the last person you’ll see lose his cool. No, I’m just kidding. I’m like a bobcat on speed…
Some house keeping issues….The media’s debate on filibusters? Bullshit. I’m appalled, but very little about any sort of Congressional assembly appalls me these days. That’s not to say that there aren’t senators or representatives that still hold true to their duty as public servants. I went five months without any sort of television in my dorm room and only sought out a television to watch 24, Lost, and American Idol (all of which ended in the last 72 hours). Corporate news channels, as much I liked them in the past, have become soap operas. Honestly, they deserve Emmy nominations for the convincing the public that Michael Jackson’s child molestation case (he’s innocent!) is more important than veterans suing Donald Rumsfeld over health care issues. Now, I won’t go blaming the public, since I know they have no control over what is displayed on the plasma screen. It’s just the way that news anchors sit in their chairs with straight faces while they give you the equivalent of water cooler gossip about the most meaningless shit ever (sometimes even "important" stuff too).
On to other, more positive, topics…
I’m starting to think about what next semester at BU is going to be like (only surface predictions, nothing too deep).
1) New classes: Holy shit. I did it again. I got the schedule I wanted thanks to the help of everyone who saved my classes. Not only that, but I’ll also be first to select classes next semester. I’m most excited about Philosophy & Religion. The teacher is supposed to be “pretty off the mark,” which in JAmes-speak means “interesting.” Social Psychology is looking pretty good right now too. I look forward to actually writing papers with backbone and getting as much feedback from my professors as possible.
2) New roommate: Let’s face it, I learned all about "college life" from Trevor. Things might not have worked out for him in the end, but I take my hat off to him for working so diligently, and partying so fucking hard. I met a lot of people early on in the semester thanks to him, including my new roommate Steve. He’s studying abroad second semester, which means I’ve got to start thinking about my Spring 2006 living situation. Hopefully I’ll find someplace on Bay State (specialty housing?) and work my way into the Common Ground house for Junior year. Until then, I look forward to learning about EVEN more amazing music from Steve, and getting an apartment during summer swap.
3) Old Friends: I couldn’t have asked for a better variety or greater caliber of friendships than I made over the semester. Every weekend ended up being infamous for some reason or another, all good reasons though (dance!, hotel parties, concerts, exotic cuisine, strange shit that happened on the T, finding out that Warren Towers will implode if anyone runs a commercial microwave and micro fridge at the same time, etc…). The only thing that sucks is having to keep track of all the different events that took place while inebriated, and not entirely remembering who scrapped you up off of Commonwealth Avenue. Ouch.
(Disclaimer: I never got so intoxicated that I collapsed on Commonwealth Ave. I find that type of behavior to be deplorable and signifies a lack of pride in oneself, one’s friends, one’s family, and one’s country. But I sure as fuck know people like that must have had a blast. Stay in school.)
4) My cowboy hat and assless chaps: That is all.
Um, I think I’m forgetting something. Oh, that’s right! How did I end up at this point in my life after my slight absence from LJ? Well, that’s a complicated answer…at least that’s what I thought at first…
