Slight Rants


So I do this personality test. I was bored and enjoying the pain of heartburn (you have no other choice, really =__= Constantly taking free medicine is not that good...) and take the so-called advance one on http://similarminds.com/

So they put the percentage of my personality with Intellectual, Artistic, Peter Pan Complex, and Conflict Seeking as the highest.
So I read the explanation for each segment. So... Based on the information I got there I was like "Childish, rude, egoist, individual, consider myself as a smartass, weird, and enjoy war for fun?" O.o

And they also put this

Stability results were low which suggests you are very worrying, insecure, emotional, and anxious.

Orderliness results were moderately low which suggests you are, at times, overly flexible, improvised, and fun seeking at the expense of reliability, work ethic, and long term accomplishment.

Extraversion results were low which suggests you are very reclusive, quiet, unassertive, and secretive.

This one they put it quite true...

But the trait snapshot says that I am:

messy, depressed, introverted, feels invisible, does not make friends easily, nihilistic, reveals little about self, fragile, dark, bizarre, feels undesirable, dislikes leadership, reclusive, weird, irritable, frequently second guesses self, unassertive, unsympathetic, low self control, observer, worrying, phobic, suspicious, unproductive, avoidant, negative, bad at saving money, emotionally sensitive, does not like to stand out, dislikes large parties, submissive, daydreamer

O________________O

Am I that bad!?
Okay, it's something that based on programmed internet quiz anyway but seriously. Can they put something that can be considered as a good trait rather than just bunches of bad ones? Or even computers think me as a bad person?

Anyway... I kinda went a little shock today. So I scored 80 on my History of Dance test. Let's say it's a pretty much considered as an A :3
But the thing is... There is this question that we have to explain what backgrounds that made Martha Graham as a considerable breakthrough modern dancer. I love her concept that she actually based it on psychology, telling movement as a nature of human way to express their inner-self. I was so inspired, I did spend some time reading about her. So I answered basically about those psychology aspects, the lecture told the same also and I pretty much pay attention on most of my history lecture. So I supposed to get 8 scores from that question if I can get it completely right.

Mine's -4 :D

I was like "WHAT THE HELL!? HOW COULD THIS BE!!!??" and apparently I forgot to put that she also based her works on something related to the breasts... Which is I'm not sure because I didn't read or hear lecture of that part (or probably missed it) and I'm not sure if it is really "breasts" because the lecturer's handwriting is kinda hard to read...
The other question I got minus are questions that myself were unsure when answering it. So it's pretty much expected. 80... Better than I thought! In fact, I didn't really study that much for dance... ^^; I was occupied on history of theater (coz I tend to ignore the lectures and suck at Singapore's history) and theater test was harder than dance itself...

So I supposed to work on my theater essay now. But... Yeah. I have no idea what to write. I can do dance but... Talk too much about politics and I wanna avoid that topic for a while. The task is compare two artists in different periods (artists, not actors). I was thinking of Lars Von Trier because his movie seems to be interestingly weird (and notably pornographic since he produced it for mainstream media and he happened to be from the first country to legalize porn so... Somebody can't just forget that fact... =__=). I was going to compare it either with Brecht (since my lecturer said that Trier's "Dancer in the Dark" was an example of Brechtian style) or Breckett... But I later found the theater of Grand Guignol, and read through today's slasher and torture porn. Suddenly I got the idea to discuss horror works...

And I got confused.

Modern Theater starting mainly from expressionism starts to get interesting in their dialogues and presentation. They experiment a lot of things which is really interesting and consider theater as something that can be expanded and free as when you paint something in visual arts. Especially when you track back the history itself so I guess learning such thing can never be useless at all.

Sigh. I have to really work on the essay. It's due Friday. The worst part of it? I HAVE TO CITE.
Looking for info to cite is not that bad. Make sure it's in the right format complete with bibliography and your MS Word sometimes ignore your orders, that is bad.
