A personality test

Because Sam did it, I decided to do this personality test involving drawing. Go me. So, go here to see my results. I don't know that it's accurate or not... You can let me know.

Some quotes

Another boring day... so here are some quotes I like because I haven't blogged forever. Tada!

"It is not possible to be a scientist unless you believe that the knowledge of the world, and the power which it gives, is a thing of intrinsic value to humanity, and that you are using it to help in the spread of knowledge, and are willing to take the consequences."

-- J. Robert Oppenheimer

"It is wrong to think that the task of Physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns only what we can say about nature."

-- Neil Bohr

"You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here...

_____I don't have to know the answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell. It doesn't frighten me."

-- Richard P. Feynman

"The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living."

-- Henri Poincaré

Some birthday presents...

See... sometimes I get bored. Actually, it happens quite often. But this time, I decided I might use my time to look up all the birthday presents I got on the internet and list them all. WHEE!

So, from Adam, I got a whole bunch of stuff. The most interesting was a thermostat bulb with mercury in it. He also sent me a little bottle of Kahlua and a little bottle of Absolut Vodka, presumably to make black russians with. He also sent me Mack toffee, Lizzie's big licks lollipops (which I couldn't find a website for), chocolate cake mix and Tabasco sauce to go with it, apparently because Tobasco sauce and chocolate cake go really well together.

Sam got me a binary clock, caffeinated gum and a beer opener ring. Those were fairly awesome gifts. My parents got me an amp, Pocky, incense and beading needles. I got other stuff from other people... Beads from Etienne, some nighties from my grandparents and a whole bunch of stuff from Ardene from Josee. It was a good haul, overall.

I tried a Pocky Quiz:







what flavor pocky are you?
