find the teddy grahams

went downtown with dace and melfish last night. had food and beer at abbey pub with the jukebox from hell that kept skipping and playing the same bad songs over and over again. then we went to another bar that we've been to before but i can't remember the name.

i took a personality profile and these are the results. most of the points are surprisingly accurate.

Overview

• Others showing genuine sincerity and acceptance impress you. You do not like a shallow expression of feelings or thoughtlessness of others. You will get along with most people you meet because you don't cause hostility.
• You usually assume a cautious and reserved demeanor when meeting new people. Your relationships must grow naturally and in sincere ways. You will not confide in others readily because of your need for security.
• Because of your thoughtful nature, you need others to express sincere interest in you or the relationship. This offers the secure feeling that you seek.
• You may be a matter-of-fact person who may be critical of the shortcomings of others who display a more emotional or outgoing side.
• During times of stress or tension, you may withdraw inside yourself and appear as somewhat cool and aloof. You need to be alone when thinking through projects, problems or solutions.
• Others may see you as disciplined and self-controlled. You have seen the problems of being overly optimistic when planning to depend on others following through.

Communication

• You tend to listen rather than talk. You may place a premium on display of emotions. As a result, "reading" you at times may be difficult.
• You may be somewhat reticent and retiring when with others, especially in a large group. As others grow louder, you may become quieter. You value control of emotions, and are more reflective than rowdy.
• Some people may inaccurately perceive you as not liking people. You may be misread by others, because you approach social situations with logic and objectivity, judging others by their competence--you may sometimes be misread by others.
• You are usually astute in social situations because you take little at face value, will listen carefully and accurately, and will watch others carefully.
• You attempt to influence others not by showing great emotion, but by appealing to the logical nature of people. Those who are more emotional and excitable may sometimes ignore your approach.
• You may want to base relationships on a nonemotional respect for each other's abilities, and base your level of trust on directness and straightforwardness.
• Because of your need to be quiet rather than rambling, you are somewhat introspective about events and activities. You may not communicate readily and rapidly with others, but this does not mean you don't support others.

Strengths

• You don't tend to get distracted by superficial issues.
• You tend to have very high values.
• You are good at making certain that even small details are taken care of.
• You tend to be the "Anchor of Reality" in highly emotional situations.
• You generally take pride in being a strong community member.
• You are good at "troubleshooting" potential problems in a relationship.
• You are skilled at finding practical solutions to complicated situations.
• You tend to set and maintain very high standards for yourself.
