My Car Bumper Magnets!
A little about me: I am fluent in sarcasm........ I crave Chick-Fil-A on Sundays........ I am addicted to World of Warcraft........ I use my cell phone to see in the dark........ I judge you when you use poor grammar........ I'm too sarcastic to carry on a meaningful conversation........ I will go slightly out of my way to step on a crunchy-looking leaf........ I want to ride the ODU maglev........ I think old-school cartoons were way better........ I secretly want to punch able-bodied slow-walking people in the back of the head (when they impede my travel)........ I don't care how comfortable your Crocs are, you still look dumb........ No, I don't care if I'm going to die at midnight - I'm not going to pass on your stupid chain letter........ Ritalin gives me the energy I need to face the day :)
Explaining Myself: I Am 'The Realist'
(Introverted-Sensing-Thinking-Perceiving)
Quiet and reserved, interested in how and why things work. Excellent skills with mechanical things. Uncomplicated in my desires. Detached and analytical, I excel at finding solutions to practical problems.
My primary mode of living is focused internally, where I deal with things rationally and logically. My secondary mode is external, where I take things in via my five senses in a literal, concrete fashion.
I am good at logical analysis, and like to use it on practical concerns. I typically have strong powers of reasoning, although I'm not interested in theories or concepts unless I can see a practical application.
I am fiercely independent, needing to have the space to make my own decisions about my next step. I am prone to becoming bored rather quickly.
I am loyal to my causes and beliefs, and am a firm believer that people should be treated with equity and fairness. I will not take part in something which violates my personal laws. I am extremely loyal.
I like and need to spend time alone, because this is when I can sort things out in my mind most clearly. I absorb large quantities of impersonal facts from the external world, and sort through those facts, making judgments, when I am alone.
I usually have strong technical skills. I focus on details and practical things. I have an excellent grasp of the details.
I feel that judgments and decisions should be made impartially, based on the facts. I am not naturally tuned in to how I am affecting others.
When over-stressed, I may exhibit rash emotional outbursts of anger, or on the other extreme may be overwhelmed by emotions and feelings which I feel compelled to share with people (often inappropriately).
I can be excellent in a crisis situations; I have very good hand-eye coordination. I usually don't have much trouble with school, because I am an introvert who can think logically. I am usually a patient individual, although I may be prone to occasional emotional outbursts due to my inattention to my own feelings.
I have a lot of natural ability which makes me good at many different kinds of things. However, I am happiest when I am centered in tasks which require detailed logical analysis and technical skill.
I may be a bit odd and socially isolated.
I couldn't care less of what others think.
I may be "comfortably numb" at times.
I haven't been feeling a lot lately, and I think that's a good thing.
The comfortable part is nice... but I should really work on numb.
Introspective and reflective, I think about everything and anything.
I am a soft-hearted daydreamer.
I love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for me.
Given enough time alone, it's easy for me to find inner peace.
I tend to be spiritual, having found my own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, I can help people through difficult times.
At my worst, I brood and sulk. My negative thoughts can trap me.
I am reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
I tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.
*Neither* of which are true,
but it's still a funny picture!
I have my Certificate and Associates Degree in CAD (computer-aided drafting). It took me 4 years of night classes at TCC while working full time during the day, but I got it. I currently work at Valkyrie Enterprises doing CAD work (actually using my AAS degree!). I am a perpetual college student, and I'm going to classes at TCC-VB for an Associates Degree in Civil Engineering Technology. (this is my last semester!)
