Fish Sticks and Green Jello

Yes I'm too boring to put up any real posts so instead I do quizzes and put them up for you to take. :) This one I found because I got into a discussion recently with my ex and a friend regarding what type of people we were. Nurturers vs. Non-nurturers specifically. I like this quiz though it seems pretty accurate for how I am.

I'm a Go-getter btw.

Go-getters

The four aspects that make up this personality type are:



Summary of Go-getters

• Inventive, resourceful problem solvers with a love of life
• Can be tough-minded when necessary

More about Go-getters

Go-getters are active, flexible people who put a great deal of energy into life. This group prefers learning on the job to quiet study and willingly jumps into almost any situation. Others are attracted to the Go-getter's positive attitude and enthusiasm.

Go-getters are most likely to say they dislike reading poetry books, according to a UK survey.

Go-getters find fun ways to tackle problems head-on and don't worry too much about rules. They are good at using logic to assess the situation and finding realistic solutions.

In situations where they can't use their talents or are unappreciated, Go-getters may reject all routines and put fun ahead of responsibilities. Under extreme stress, Go-getters may become overwhelmed by thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong.

Go-getters may be liable to forget important dates such as a loved one's birthday.

Okay I stole this from my friend Jim's blog on MySpace. He used to live in the valley too. I actually live in Mountain View but everything on this list completely applies to me. It's not even just some of this list that applies, it'a almost every single thing. If you live around here you'll TOTALLY relate to this.

I do love California though. There's no place else like it! :)

------------------------------------------

You know you live in San Jose, CA when ....

Your combined household income is $140,000 and you can't afford shoes for the kids

You think anything slower than DSL is barbaric, but can't get it in your neighborhood

You know what DSL stands for

You think that American food includes sushi, naan, pho, pesto and pad thai

You met your neighbors once

When asked about your commute you answer in time, not distance

Even though you work 80 hours per week on a computer, for relaxation you read your email and peruse eBay

You have worked at the same job for a year and people call you an 'old-timer'

You remember the names of the three closest cheap sushi joints, the location of all the Fry's in the area and which companies your friends work for that are going public in the next year, but don't know the name of the mayor

You work 6 miles from your home and spend two hours a day commuting and $40 a week on gas

Winter is when your lawn grows too fast and summer is when it dies

The median price of a house is $500,000...for 1200 sq. ft. with no yard because it's a town house

Your best friend lives across town but you hardly ever see each other because after your commute you're too pooped to spend another hour driving to their home

You cringe when you see people in suits at your office, wondering if someone in management will make you stop wearing bunny slippers

You plan your vacation so that you don't have to drive back from the airport in commute hours

You don't go to sporting events unless you are given tickets by your employer

You could sell your home and live like a king in 99% of the rest of the world, but don't because it would be difficult to move back.

You have at least three computers at home.

You know that California isn't just one big beach.

You know that not everyone in California surfs.

You know there's lots of skiing in California.

You know your rotating outage block number at home and at work, and listen for them whenever there are rolling blackouts.

If someone refers to "SunnytogaDeAnzavale Road", you laugh and know what they're talking about

You own a Sport Utility Vehicle and have never taken it off-road. You wouldn't know what to do if you tried. Same with all your friends.

You don't know how to drive in snow. You're a road hazard when you visit the mountains.

You think bicycles don't belong on the road.

You think any car ahead of you doesn't belong on the road.

Your out-of-state friends are impressed at how much money you make... until you tell them how much you pay for housing.

You know that a "fixer-upper" home could cost a half-million dollars.

You do a "California roll" at stop signs. And you think it's only Californians who call them that.

You aren't bothered much by earthquakes because you're ready for them. But the thought of tornadoes and hurricanes terrifies you.

You clearly remember where you were when the Loma Prieta quake hit.

You know several funny stories about swimming pools in the quake.

You can't recognize a thunderstorm without seeing lightning first.

You cringe when a Southern Californian refers to highways like "the 101". It's just "101". No "the".

You call low clouds "fog" even if they're hundreds of feet off the ground.

At least once you have gone to San Francisco for the day wearing shorts and a t-shirt because it was a warm clear day in San Jose. And you froze your little *@..!% off in the fog, drizzle and wind.

You say you're from Silicon Valley because no one knows where San Jose (or any other cities up there) is.

Not much has been going since the last time I posted that wasn't somehow involved with WoW. I posted some new photos on flicker of me on NYE which was a fun time. Jeremy, Sabine and I headed to a party at Dave and Ken's house to start. Their annual "Sausage Party". I keep wanting to call it the Sausage Fest... but I digress. Anyways our whole usual gang was there and that was a ton of fun. After midnight we headed over to another party where my other friends were. This party was a bit different since it involved meeting a lot of new people and was split between a few floors as opposed to party 1 where everyone crammed into the kitchen to dance to Disco. Party 2 had my friend spinning at midnight and lots of living room dancing, different vibe.

Other than that, this year has been pretty quiet so far! Our guild made it's first run to Molten Core this weekend and we did 9/10 bosses. This could seem like a huge accomplishment for a first time run with a new guild but we have lots of experienced players so it added tons to our success. The next few months should be pretty exciting. It was really weird hearing the people that I've been playing with over the last month or so talking on Team Speak as well. I have to say, everyone sounds pretty darn cool.. if you can judge by voices. We're cool, we're hip, we're hawt! :D

Other than that I've met some really awesome people that I'd consider to be friends beyond the game via the game. I of course also know some people in the game in real life as well since quite a few work at Microsoft and my ex plays also! Other than all that I will say I met someone else in the game that I like very much and we spend a lot of time playing together and talking. I don't know if you can meet someone in the game and with distance etc actually form any type of real relationship with them but it seems real enough to me. Hey that's how someone I know in game met her boyfriend... first in game, then addtional online interaction, then in person and now... super happy! I'm not saying this is what exactly is going to happen but it's definitely fun and really nice.
