Walking the Fence

They say curiosity killed the cat, but they never say whether the cat planned his last adventure into another world.
I was curious to see how my brain functions. See, I am a left-handed person, and therefore I should statistically be right brain{ish). So I went to a certain testing site to find out just how crazy I am.
I was pretty happy and interested with the results.  The copy and paste didn't work out so well, but it shows the information.
Fellow writers,
Curiosity doesn't kill. It creates.
(No cats were harmed in the writing of this post )



Thank you for taking the Creativity Test. The results show your brain dominance as being:
Left BrainRight Brain
47%53%

Now we get to read a bunch of words that say I am creative but still a pretty logical person. In a random way. Hurray!!!


You are more right-brained than left-brained. The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body. In addition to being known as right-brained, you are also known as a creative thinker who uses feeling and intuition to gather information. You retain this information through the use of images and patterns. You are able to visualize the "whole" picture first, and then work backwards to put the pieces together to create the "whole" picture. Your thought process can appear quite illogical and meandering.

The problem-solving techniques that you use involve free association, which is often very innovative and creative. The routes taken to arrive at your conclusions are completely opposite to what a left-brained person would be accustomed. You probably find it easy to express yourself using art, dance, or music. Some occupations usually held by a right-brained person are forest ranger, athlete, beautician, actor/actress, craftsman, and artist.









If you want to be special like me and take this crazy test, go to this site 
Kaboom. 

My complete evaluation follows below
(A bunch of random stats and way-to-in-depth percentages)



Your left brain/right brain percentage was calculated by combining the individual scores of each half's sub-categories. They are as follows:
Your Left Brain Percentages
  50%Symbolic (Your most dominant characteristic)
  50%Logical
  32%Linear
  27%Sequential
  27%Reality-based
  7%Verbal (Your least dominant characteristic)

Your Right Brain Percentages
  50%Random (Your most dominant characteristic)
  46%Concrete
  38%Nonverbal
  36%Fantasy-oriented
  29%Intuitive
  24%Holistic (Your least dominant characteristic)

My brain on dreams.

Wow. Inception was the most stupendous, scrumptious, serious, brain stopping movie I have seen this year (the only movie I've seen this year... ha. ha.).  I won't spoil the movie for anyone who hasn't seen it (happened to me like the second week it came out) so I'll move on. Now I am up at 9:45 on a Saturday morn with thoughts in my head that want to leave. "Hence, blogging".
 Fermatas.
I know that most of the people that read my blog currently are learned in music terminology. (learn - ed: fun word to say) 
Well, the fermata makes it's presence at the end of a phrase, song, or pretty much anywhere in between. 
Dictionary.com state that fermatas are:


the sustaining of a note, chord, or rest for a duration longer than the indicated time value, with the length of the extension at the performer's discretion.


I read this and thought "wait, we get to choose how long we hold the fermata?" 
Heh heh. :)  
That could be fun. 


Ok. My creative juices aren't flowing quite yet today. 
It was a try. 
At least I didn't go to Walmart at 6:30 A.M. again. I did try to get into Wendy's. They were closed. Or the employees were on strike. Or all of the employers were holding fermatas. Pick one.


Goodnight!
Back to bed for me. 
I'll start the day in an hour or so.

Blogging.


Inspiring? Not so much. 
But, so true.

Sorry, I am about to go watch Inception. 
This is about all I wanted to say. 
Goodbye!
