How to Be a Hero

i was surfing around for Opera tweaks and managed to find one of the nerdiest online personality quizzes ever. i liked it because it was pretty funny and it makes you feel warm and fuzzy (unless you are a jerk).

My Inner Hero - Paladin!



I strive to help others, and to bring truth and harmony to the world however I can. Whether times are good or bad, you can always count on me. I'm a shoulder to cry on, a champion for the helpless, and an all around nice person.

How about you? Click here to find your own inner hero.

getting the full profile required me to jump through a few hurdles and register and stuff, but that's what hotmail is for.

Hello, Paladin.

Character Stats:

Rogue (10)
Warrior (11)
Wizard (12)
Paladin (13)

Your Profile:

You're compassionate, forward-thinking, and devoted to doing the right thing. If you're still in school, your teachers probably adore you, even if your grades aren't very strong. If you work, you're more concerned with doing your job well than climbing the corporate ladder. When it comes to leisure, you'd rather pursue the arts, spend time in nature, or enjoy quiet time with a close friend than spend all night at a raucous party. You seek out peace, beauty, and harmony wherever you can find it.

Above all, you love helping others and bringing a little light to the world wherever you can. You have strong artistic talent, even if you haven't discovered it yet. You aren't a social butterfly, but the friendships you have tend to be long-lasting and devoted. You feel a deep sense of contentment when you have the opportunity to show someone how much you care.

Your Mission:

You were put on this earth to help others. They will trust you, because they are attracted to your sincerity, your kindness, and your willingness to do what's right. You are the one who has to stand up for the little guy, because everyone else is too busy looking after number one.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to Fix Something. Something small, or something big. Put a new chain on your brother's bike. Reconcile a family feud. Take a stray cat to the vet to be spayed. Donate blood. Fix a friend's car for free. Fix SOMETHING.

The Famous Adventurer of Silmaria trusts you to complete your mission. Don't feel guilty about procrastination - start now!

A Warning:

Try to remember: sometimes you need to fight for what you believe in. When someone steps on your rights, or the rights of others, you have to forget being "the nice guy/girl" and set things the way they should be. If necessary, befriend a Warrior and enlist him or her in your cause. Then just turn your Warrior loose and watch the fireworks.

Sometimes you're just going to have to face reality. Because you yourself are trustworthy, you tend to be too trusting. But not everyone is as kind and honest as you are. You may need a Rogue on your side to let you know when you're being hoodwinked, swindled, or made a fool of.

last night i received an email telling me that i was confirmed to take the softball umpiring test today. i clearly remember checking off the box that said, "no," since i have exams next week and didn't study for this test (or said exams) this past week. so i'll be taking the test because that is the heroic thing to do (they printed off a copy for me and everything).

i am actually interesting this time...

Your Brain Usage Profile:

Right : 63%

You possess an interesting balance of hemispheric and sensory characteristics, with a slight right-brain dominance and a slight preference for visual processing.

Since neither of these is completely centered, you lack the indecision and second-guessing associated with other patterns. You have a distinct preference for creativity and intuition with seemingly sufficient verbal skills to be able to translate in any meaningful way to yourself and others.

You tend to see things in "wholes" without surrendering the ability to attend to details. You can give them sufficient notice to be able to utitlize and incorporate them as part of an overall pattern.

In the same way, while you are active and process information simultaneously, you demonstrate a capacity for sequencing as well as reflection which allows for some "inner dialogue."

All in all, you are likely to be quite content with yourself and your style although at times it will not necessarily be appreciated by others. You have sufficient confidence to not second-guess yourself, but rather to use your critical faculties in a way that enhances, rather than limits, your creativity.

You can learn in either mode although far more efficiently within the visual mode. It is likely that in listening to conversations or lecture materials you simultaneously translate into pictures which enhance and elaborate on the meaning.

It is most likely that you will gravitate towards those endeavors which are predominantly visual but include some logic or structuring. You may either work particularly hard at cultivating your auditory skills or risk "missing out" on being able to efficiently process what you learn. Your own intuitive skills will at times interfere with your capacity to listen to others, which is something else you may need to take into account.

compared to my old results...

i want to be a white tiger, and now i feel like vacuuming

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. i am also particularly attracted to nice bums. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. precisely. You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. and also immature. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. and/or someone who is an axe-murderer. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. wow, you're good, mr. internet quiz Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. was this because i chose to get rid of snakes? You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. it will verge on idolatry. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.you have failed here, mr. internet quiz. i'd fall for it quite easily.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

5 random facts

1) hoimin is a reference to the mouse in the short cartoon "Herman and Catnip" from "Huey and Friends". the mouse was named Herman and he had three nephews (just like Daffy Duck and Toucan Sam) who all had severe linguistic disabilities. everytime Catnip trapped them they'd squeal, "uncko hoimin! uncko hoimin! catnip's got us! help! help!"

2) i was a relationship counselor in grade 8 and made business mainly by causing the ruckuses myself.

3) i wanted to be a birdwatcher back in grade 3. when i realized the utter lack of financial gain, i ditched that dream for becoming an astronomer. then a baseball player. then a comic book artist. then a paleontologist.

4) my earliest childhood memory was of my first trip to hong kong in 1986. i kissed my aunt's dog (i think it was a black lab.), in a spontaneous display of joyous affection, right on the nose just as he greeted me when the door opened. i acquired a lip infection as a result. however, i do not recall the flight on which i walked up and down the plane aisle charming my way to bits of cheese from other passengers, but i apparently did so and was good at it.

5) i had the biggest crush on this girl named jessica. she had hazel eyes and luscious, curly brown hair -- easily the prettiest girl in grade 1. we were usually the first ones to finish our handwriting assignments (grade 2 stuff!). one time i barfed in the hall after an assembly and she was the one who wrapped a jacket around me and patted my back. in grade 2 she taught me how to braid her hair, but i got in trouble for doing it during story time and had to sit a two-minute time-out staring at the paper towel dispenser. we were split up into different classes in grade 3, after which i changed schools and never saw her again.

You are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and a predominantly visual learner, an interesting blend of characteristics!

You are an intensely visual person, active and continuously searching. As such, there is no rhythm or beat to limit your learning. You are constantly absorbing and imaging. Your tendency to be left- hemisphere dominant, however, creates some difficulties. You continue to attempt to structure all that input and categorize it, at the same time continuing to seek out new input while "reflecting" in what you have already gained.

With your visual orientation absorbing so much input, you sometimes utilize your left-brain focus to identify logical aspects of what you perceive and may become overwhelmed by details.

When faced with situations where you have to rely on verbal input exclu- sively, you may find yourself needing to work more on maintain- ing an "overview" or perspective in order to fully grasp the material. It is likely that "sketching out" a representation of material that you are listening to will enhance your understanding and recall of the material. Drawing diagrams and note- taking allow you to "see" the relationships and absorb them more fully.

You tend to focus on details and are generally logical and organized. You have an intensity which is evident to others and yet can feel comfortable with the applied aspects of learning, the practical.

Given that you are somewhat goal-directed, the difficulty with being so visual is that you continuously "see" new goals and thus may be drawn from one to the other or at least forced to think about them within present structures. Because of your visual processing mode, you are regularly faced with tolerating and integrating ambiguity, a process which disrupts the equilibrium of your left-hemisphere preeminence.

It is likely that you are restless continuously and do not feel challenged. You may well explore engaging in activities which enhance right-hemisphere functioning which would reduce some of the tension you might currently be experiencing.
