The wonderous and engenius methods of Kat de Sul
Right . . .
So, Thanksgiving was wonderful. Family. Food. And fun. The three fantastic F's! We had mashed potatoes, turkey, olives, shrimp a New Orleans, green beans (good, hand picked and frozen), homemade Italian creme sodas, stuffing, pumpkin pie, lemon creamcheese pie, blueberries and creme pie, whipped CREAM and whipped topping, and... other stuff. :) We played captions and had a laugh. We talked, digested, watched movies, baked, talked some more, and looked at photos. And we basked in the glorious Christmas deco (lights, snowflakes, more lights, a small tree, and random ornaments around the room that Jo and I had put up earlier the day before).
THEN... it came to pass that we got up at 3 am. YAWWWWWNNN! We went shopping for Black Friday and then we had breakfast at IHOP. With like 20 of my extended family members + Chloe. Then, still morning, 8/10 am we went over to me gran's. I sewed while everyone else slept. I sewed ALL day!!! (handstitching, embroidery) Then at about 6 pm I got up and made tortillas for dinner. I must say, homemade tortillas are the BOMB! (p.s. you have to double the water here in the west or else the dough dries out while it sets before rolling. Yick. (I learned this earlier this fall, so this time they turned out fantastico!) Am made a fillin (chicken and peppers and spices and... whatnot... and it was DELICIOUS!!! I put ranch dressing and cheese on it and it was probably the most delicious meal I've had in ever-so-long! Mmmmmmm! Soooo good!) We came back to Jo's, I sewed 'til 11 pm and then, finally at about 11:30 I broke down and had to go pass out. After all, I'd only had two hours of sleep in the passed 24 hours!
The next day I sewed and sewed and sewed like a mad man. Finally at about 5 pm Chloe and I got back into the car and drove back to Rexburg. (Just before we left we got a phone call, my grandma, the one I'd seen the day before, had broken her hip and was in the hostpital. :( :( :( :P )
Now it's been over a week since I've returned. Schools gone ok. I have turned in several of my projects already. Now I only have to finish my Art final drawing, take my Western Culture final quiz and Final, turn in my last paper for New Testament, do a presentation and then and 8 page take-home final for English. That's not too much, right? Well, TOMORROW night I have white glove check too! And my dad's coming up to see my sister graduate on the 12th, and then he and I are driving back down to SLC on the 13th. Not much time to ho hum hiddle diddle, eh?
Ok. Now HERE's the part that displays my acute sense of intelligence and genius. I keep realizing that I've left things at my sister's apt. in Utah. First thing I noticed was I could find my camera charge cord. My camera has and LED battery, so no replacements. Next I THOUGHT I had lost a sock, but I found it when I did the wash. Then, when I realized my phone battery was dying, I realized I couldn't locate the charge cord for it either! And last (so far), I left one of my textbooks there!!!! I'm going to have to borrow someone's or use the internet or find a copy in the library to study!!!! What a gaphooey!
Yep, that's me! Engenius Kat the first!
p.s. I LOVE the movies Miss Potter and Oscar!

E D H
I found a painting online while searching for something else, and I thought it was absolutely gorgeous. So I of course tried to find more paintings by the artist. As it's a victorian painter who loved to paint faerie tale and fantasy scenes, most of the iddie-bity people in most if his paintings are naked, and he had an effinity to paint half naked women, but I managed only glimps like three of those and was able to filter it out!!! Instead I located a few of his paintings that are infact lovely AND modest!
Artist: Edward Robert Hughes

-Ite
Tonight
the stars are bright
the weather's right,
it's quite a sight.
I'm feeling sprite
tonight.
Tonight
I'll rest a mite,
fall free from spite,
drink in moon light,
and forget my plight
tonight.
TonightI cannot fight.
Here at this site
I think I might
hold it all in tight
tonight.
(this poem is so lame it couldn't run a meter. But it gets the point across I guess, so howdy day.)

Hi ho the dairy-io, the farmer and the whale!
ONE WEEK! ONE week until Thanksgiving break!!!!!!! I'm VERY, VERY, VERY excited... can you tell? :)
So first of all, something interesting: The Jung personality test. It's ACTUALLY based on REAL phsycological research, and so it's not such a waste of time. And while I'm NOT the sort of person that believes in Start Charts, palmestry, fortunetelling (etc. etc. gag gag gag) I DO know that pyschology is a real thing. And just like any other science, when man applies himself to it earnestly and honestly he isn't bound to come out far off the truth. And so when I took this test for fun, and found the results uncannily accurate I got really excited and now kinda want to know what everyone elses' result is because I want to know if they're accurate too. I LOVE seeing mankind take another grand leap towards achievement and understanding!
So, while it would awesome for other people to take the test and tell me their result, it's entirely up to them. But it's way cool, believe me!
Here, I'll show you. Every personality that they've catagorized is based on four different letters (routed in four different areas on one's attitudes, behaviors, and values). They are I/E (introvert/extrovert), N/S (intuition/senses), F/T (feeling/thinking). and P/J (perception/judgement).
I came out at INFP: introvert, intuition, feeling, and perception. There are four "nicknames" i've seen given to this personality type: the Questor, the Healer, the Dreamer, and the Idealist. I find the usage of the Idealist most commonly when i looked about online.
Here's a bit about an Idealist:

http://www.personalitypage.com/INFP_rel.html
If you want to take the test and see what personality you are, go here:
http://similarminds.com/jung_word_pair.html
And as I said before, I don't view this as a "magic read you head" sort of thing.** Rather I gained some insight about why I do what I do, feel how I feel, and think how I think.* It kinda makes you feel a bit more understood, and helps to sort out some of the confusion you build up in your head, or so I think. I found it really insightful.
*there are of course inaccuratcies, so don't go off on a banshee went you find "false info". Of course there's going to be things not true about YOU, but that's because your ARE an individual. The analysis is based on general info, studied from a wide range of minds. Of course you're going to be unique. But still, as a human, with human feelings and human experiences and a human body you are bound to develope as a human with a human brain. And as we all have the same SPIRIT parents, we are also bound to be made up of similar spiritual matter. So it doesn't surprise me that our personal, inner-mind attributes develope similarly.
**be careful, though. This is a WARNING. This test is not meant to be a "destiny" determiner, nor a psychic "reading". Don't take it simply at face value. Base your PERSONAL analysis of the info on what you already know about yourself and what you know to be true. Understanding the info presented in the test result can and may help you to deal with future situations, but only if you choose to let it. It will not tell you the future and it will not tell you how to live your life. It does give you suggestions on how to make life easier for yourself, but, as I said, taking the advice is a complete matter of choice. And if you supposedly find the info to be VERY incorrect, don't call yourself a freak and go off hating yourself. Neither, I suggest, should you go off debasing the study, because that is what it is. A study. An hypothisis. It's most likely not going to shoot a 100% every time.
Oh! And don't rely on the test results of your friends (should they choose to share) to judge them either. They're just as unique as you are. (though I do not deny that it is kinda a cool to get a hypothetical "glimps" into their mind. It does help you understand them a little bit better I think.)
