I am Ariel.
"You are a star. You're beautiful inside and out, your voice lights up the room and to you, "I'll do anything for love" is not just a line from a meatloaf song. Go for it, your true prince awaits!"

This is the conclusion that came from the (so totally accurate as all of them are) quiz that I took today entitled "What career were you meant for?"
The explanation: "You have an unmatched skill for creating vast worlds both through facts and pure imagination. Your mind is full of creativity, artistry, and expression. Your heart gracefully guides your hands as you work to bring what is truly your spirit to life. You were truly meant to guide the world with your words."
My friend and her friends got the answer "Therapist". There was a time when this was my career goal, so I took the quiz. I realized that some of my answers would have been different way back when I was in school. I thought it was really interesting how much I've changed. I do write more than I did then (aside from those 10-page term papers that I could eventually turn out overnight), at work, in email, and on this blog. I do like the catharsis of writing and sharing my trip reports. Whether or not anyone reads them ... eh, whatevs. :)
So I took the test again as I would have answered them 20 years ago, and guess what? I got Therapist.
That description: "You are a caring and selfless individual. Your compassion, warmth, and sensitivity can heal others in the most authentic way possible. You help and inspire others, and can really touch people's lives. You truly understand others and can make them happy by just being yourself."
If you take that test above, I recommend that you ask yourself, "Would my answers have been different 10 or 20 years ago?"
I think I'm going to need therapy just to deal with this one quiz and how much this difference truly fascinates me. Or I'll just talk to myself and analyze it until I fall asleep.

My Brain is 20 Years Old
I got this email yesterday, and thought I'd share with you the fact that my brain is half as old as the rest of me.
****************************************************
The better your score, the lower the number. Once again, age discrimination.
You can get better with practice -- or obsession.
JAPANESE BRAIN TEST ... FUN!!
This test will tell you if your brain is as old as your body.
The site doesn't know your age, but it will tell you the age of your brain power.
Once you get to the website, you probably won't be able to read the Japanese instructions, so follow these instructions
1. Touch 'start'
2. The numbers 3 then 2 then 1 will pop up on the screen. Immediately following
the number 1, several numbers will flash on the screen for barely one second.
3. Memorize the numbers' position on the screen, then click the circles from the SMALLEST NUMBER TO THE BIGGEST NUMBER.
4. At the end of game, the computer will tell you in years, how old your brain is.
Sounds complicated but it's really easy. Think fast.

Omnivore Offerings
One of the food blogs that I read had a list of The Omnivore's Hundred, so I thought that I would share it here, too. I tend to try a variety of foods, yet there are some with which I can barely eat at the same table. But apparently, if you're a truly good omnivore, you will have tried it all. The original blogger is from the UK, where I don't think they have the greatest food anyway, but it seems that he's tried lots of different stuff.
Vegetarians, just turn away now. Meat and potatoes types, good luck! Feel free to share your own results here or on your blog.
Items that I've tried are in BOLD. Items that I really enjoy have ***, and items that I will be staying away from, probably forever, are marked in italics.

80's Lyrics Quiz
I got a 64 on this one. Then when I read the answers, I slapped myself in the head because I should have known the songs. Must have been because I was eating breakfast while taking the test. Or because I'm getting old and my memory's fading quickly. I like the sarcastic comments on the scoring page, too.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
