(no subject)
Not feeling like talking about my life still.
EDIT: Fine, something of substance
I feel kind of odd hanging out with the Stanford people. I'm a misanthropic bitch and I'm used to people treating me as such. If I'm a legend at all, it's for passing two of Bob Young's classes. However, I feel like a social legend here. Went to the SGS (Stanford Gaming Society) Graduation Party a few days ago and people kept coming up to me and being like, "You're *Becca*? Like, J's *Becca*? Wow!" Very odd phenomenon for me. I know J talks about me an awful lot, but am not used to social existence.
SGS people are horribly squishy. I like them lots. Finally met Albert, my diagonal. That was quite cool (Albert is friends with J and Abby, and I am friends with J and Abby; however Albert and I had never met.)
Also met Abby's Adee, who was nothing like I expected.
EDIT II: Shockingly enough, managed to convince mother am not a horrible person for not getting along with extended family. After much drama she possibly understands how difficult it is for me to try to have relationships with people I know on not very deep level. She even agreed to write a sincere sounding card to my great-aunt from me. (One major reason I think I have Asperger's -- I have an extreme amount of difficulty engaging in normal social relationships with people that I am not emotionally/intellectually close to. Writing birthday cards to relatives that say more than "Happy Birthday" is absolute Hell. When I lived with my parents there were major tantrums over it; now I just don't do it and then don't care when those relatives stop sending me money -- I actually much prefer that they don't)
This actually means Good Things for my relationship with my mother. Some day, I'll tell my parents about role-playing. Was very jealous at SGS graduation party, because everyone brought along perky, pro-SGS parents; Albert's mother watches Joss Whedon with him -- is cute. Wish I could tell my parents things, although have many surrogates e.g. Bob, Rich. Still, the number of Important Things in My Life that have not been conveyed to my parents is a little ridiculous; and hypocrticial, given that I'm constantly mad at David for letting his parents control him. I do the same, I just am more manipulative towards them about it. Honesty good. Probably actively not telling my parents things is immoral. It's just hard to be like "Ima, Aba, here is a comprehensive list of everything that I probably should have told you but didn't":
1. You know how most of my friends in both Madison and Oberlin collect dice? It's because they all do that evil role-playing thing and it doesn't make them evil.
2. For that matter so do I.
3. Yes, and that Evil Vampire Live Action thing, too.
4. The reason I had Jessa's boots in my house was because I wore them for that Evil Vampire Live Action Thing, since you seem so intent on asking about Jessa's boots (note to self: While in Bay Area go goth shopping; replace borrowed pieces of Layla's costume.)
5. You know how I've been really elusive about what J's up to? It's because she's starting a gaming company. She's going to grad school in interactive narrative, which for most intents and purposes means gaming.
6. No, on second thought, telling my parents about magic is a bad idea. Telling them I own three decks of Tarot cards, ditto. There is only so much one should tell one's parents.
7. Oh yeah, J's starting that gaming company with her serious boyfriend.
8. And David and I have seriously talked about living with and raising kids with J and said serious boyfriend.
9. I have an engagement ring; it was a present from David's grandmother.
10. I'm seriously considering taking graduate level computer science courses; please don't kill me -- the computer science major worked out well, and it turns out that Some People *have* heard of doctors who know computer science.
11. I tried to tell you this once and you didn't listen, but I think I have Asperger's. It's why it's hard for me to be always empathetic and emotionally caring. I wish you would try a little harder to actually listen to what I tell you about me, rather than make stuff up and then try to force me into your mold.
End EDITs.
So for the first in an awful long time I will subject you to a quiz
Your brain: 20% interpersonal, 20% visual, 80% verbal, and 280% mathematical!
Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy
doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested
you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds
of thinkers.
Matching Summary:
Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender
:
You scored higher than 14%
on interpersonal
You scored higher than 7%
on visual
You scored higher than 61%
on verbal
You scored higher than 98%
on mathematical
