How I celebrate after the completion of a research paper...

I pop a bag of Act II buttered popcorn, place my Diet Coke on a coaster (as to not leave water rings), turn my television to channel 46...Nick at Nite, and begin filling out another online survey.

Why do I do this? I am fairly sure the results of this online quiz are not going to spawn any epiphanies, and I could be lying on my couch watching back-to-back reruns of "Friends", sure to make me laugh out loud, but instead I sit in the same seat I have sat in for countless hours typing papers galore.

I have no answers. I do not know why I fill out these surveys. Maybe in an attempt to find something new out about myself, but that never happens. I wish I could say it is due to peer pressure. I could make up some elaborate story about how I received anonymous phone calls all day telling me that if I didn't fill out this survey...my love life would be cursed for seven years... or something. I filled this out freely; I have no one to blame but myself.

Because I spent the time filling it out, I will post the results. Somehow it feels like less of a waste of time if I share, if I put the results out into the faceless void that is the Internet, or more specifically, this blog. On the website where I filled this out, they say you can take it multiple times to make sure the end result is ultimately reliable. I ask you, who has that kind of time? I am no one to talk, though. I filled this stupid thing out. I will now share my waste of time with you, thus making it your waste of time.

Stability results were moderately high which suggests you are relaxed, calm, secure, and optimistic.

Orderliness results were very 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 moderately high which suggests you are, at times, overly talkative, outgoing, sociable and interacting at the expense of developing your own individual interests and internally based identity.
