Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.
Orderliness results were high which suggests you are overly organized, reliable, neat, and hard working at the expense too often of flexibility, efficiency, spontaneity, and fun.
Extraversion results were high which suggests you are overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense too often of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.
Computers hate me.
I've been having a severe case of computer trouble since May. First, my Command key broke, then the right arrow key. I go to get them fixed, and, that day, my hard drive crashes. I lost all of my movies, photos and videos that I had accrued for the previous six months (update- all of my movies and music are back, thanks to some reverse uploading from my iPod back to my computer, and I backed up all of my photos to flickr, so everyhting's fine now).
So, while my laptop is in for repairs. I have to use my desktop. Which needed a new set of Ram, and a firmware update. The firmware update, in turn, made my computer run great, but nulled my old wireless adapter. I had to get a new one (we don't have a wired house because I am the only one in my family who owns a desktop), and, as it turns out, because all new Macs come with internalized wireless receivers, they don't make any for Mac anymore. I eventually found one, by the time my laptop returned from repairs.
Then, last night, I was playing the new SIms on my laptop when something truly bizzare and impossible happened- my laptop's power cord got so hot it melted. Yes, melted. In two. It almost set on fire if I didn't notice the smell of burning plastic, too.
Sheish.
After being home for a week, boredom at not having a desk or a place to do art set in, and, against my parent's wishes, I went on a cleaning rampage yesterday, cleaned out a quarter of the basement, and set up a sewing/puppetry station, a calligraphy station, and a drawing area with a light table.
My Chinese software from Rosetta Stone came in, and, as much as I like Rosetta, it seems I already know about 85-90% of what's in it. Most of what I'm missing is pronunciation of vocabulary I already know the characters for. There's a money back guarantee, so I'll wean out what I don't know and then return it.
I also added some new photos to my Flickr account. Photos from Feb, actually, but, hey! It works. I have a few left that I haven't put up from Vietnam, and some on my mini camera from... Otakon... last year... Hee-hee.
Oh, and some BIG NEWS: I neer showed you guys finished Ichigo, have I?
I'm making a separate art page for him, but...
