Psychology Day 3: Curiousity of the world

I am a curious being, just like a cat. I see things that are very interesting, like a wild vine growing on the side of the building, or something that is crawling up the wall of the classroom. I am curious to try new things, like a glass of raw egg or habanero pepper. That stuff will sting the tongue. If it gets in your eye, you will experience much agony. I did not get the habanero in my eye. I made an effort not to.

I saw some clothes draped on the couch. It was a dress shirt. There was a name tag and a tie on the floor, and one of those waiter apron things. The person who the items belonged to was teaching some other people how to salsa dance. I was curious, so I put on the shirt. And the tie. And the name tag and the apron thing. I put on some aviator sunglasses and then tried out some of my own dance moves. It was a very curious thing to behold, I would say.

Curiousity is good. A cat is good. A cat is good to have on a cold night. A cat is a good thing to feel with your hands. When I get a house, I am going to get a cat.

Psychology Day 2: Modesty and Humility

So, the test thing back when said that my second strength was Modesty and Humility. I don't think that this should be considered a strength...rather, it should just be a characteristic that everyone wants to develop.

I guess I am modest. Or maybe I just don't talk about myself a lot. I really don't see a need to talk about stuff I have done. What does it matter, anyway? I am secure and happy with myself...whenever I hear someone bragging about themselves, I wonder if they need to brag because they pretty much suck at everything else. Poor little lost souls!

I like the band Modest Mouse. They are pretty good. I like to listen to them. Often I can fall asleep listening to them. I just put some on, actually. I like to speak and write short sentences. I don't like things like the candidate debates, because they all try to speak forever and ever when they could just say "yes" or "no" or give a four word response. It is out of control.

Back the issue of modesty and humility...maybe I just don't like to talk about myself because most of the stuff that I like and excel in are things that nobody else would find interesting. So I talk about things that will be interesting to them.

I am going to be honest...I don't really think I am saying anything here, so I am just going to quit and hope that everyone will just become modest and humble overnight, and when I wake up tomorrow the world will be a happier place.

Psychology Day 1: Honesty, Authenticity, Genuinenes

So, I guess I am supposed to start writing in my blog about something that has to do with strengths. The second week of school, we took some kind of test that told us what our strengths were. My top five are as follows: 1)Creativity, ingenuity, and originality; 2)Modesty and humility; 3)Honesty, authenticity, and genuineness, 4)Humor and playfulness; 5)Curiosity and interest in the world

Today I guess I will talk about Honesty, Authenticity, and Genuineness. First of all, I don't think "genuineness" is even a word. I have to be honest. It sounds like something a cartoon character would make it. It sounds make-believe.

It is good to be honest, I think. I don't see why you wouldn't want to be honest. People who are not honest can go f*** themselves.

I love it when someone is disappointed and says "you know, I'm gonna be honest with you..." That's the best way to begin telling someone when you are disappointed in them. It lessens the shock. It prepares the person who disappoints you for the things you are going to say to them.

I'm going to be honest about how I felt in class today. I was tired, and did not feel like going. I actually considered staying home. If I stayed home, I wouldn't be lazy. I would get a lot of stuff done and maybe play guitar. Maybe I would sleep a bit. I think I am getting sick, so getting some extra sleep would not be a bad idea.

In Rhetoric class, I was hoping that Dr. Cypert was going to call on me to discuss the reading. I would have been honest and said: "Dr. Cypert, let me be honest with you...I didn't read. I sort of neglected it."

It's not that I am lazy...it's just that I didn't feel like reading that 30 page packet that discussed Japanese rhetoric. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I just didn't feel up to it. I'm going to be honest: there are a lot of things that I probably should do that I don't. For instance, I think my fish bowl needs to be changed. It is not really disgusting yet, but poor Sanders is swimming around in his own feces. That is sort of disgusting. It is very disgusting. Sickening, even. I am going to go vomit right now just because I am thinking about it.

Authenticity. This is a fun one. I hate people who are not authentic. Every day I see all types of folk who think they are allstars, who prance around with these silly grins and say "I'm an allstar!" I hate that. I have considered throwing branches at them. I could hide behind a tree and ambush them. I would hit them in the gut, hoping to knock some sense into them.

I guess I am authentic. I don't know what else I could be. I'm not trying to be someone I am not...I just sort of go with the flow and let whatever happens happen. It is good clean fun.

I am going to be honest...I am getting tired of writing, so I am going to wrap it up real quick...but first I have to discuss genuineness.

Genuineness...it is a made up word...I don't really know what it means. I suppose I could look it up one the one site where I took the strength tests, but I really don't feel like it right now. Besides, I have written like ten pages of this kind of stuff. I probably have been writing for seven hours. I don't even know where the time has gone. It has passed quickly.

Okay. I am done now. Do you wish to comment?
