http://www.mindmedia.com/brainworks/profiler Your Brain Usage Profile Auditory : 25% Visual : 75% Left : 50% Right : 50% Valia, you exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that you would have slightly different results each time you complete this self-assessment quiz. You are a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, you are logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and are sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. You are organized and goal-directed. Although a "thinking" individual, you "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition. You sometimes tend to vacillate in your learning styles. Learning might take you longer than someone of equal intellect, but you will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. You will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so you may experience anxiety in situations where you are not certain which aspect of yourself will be called on. With a slight preference for visual processing, you tend to be encompassing in your perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in your attacking of situations or learning. Overall, you should feel content with your life and yourself. You are, perhaps, a little too critical of yourself -- and of others -- while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and your creativity may not be in keeping with your potential. Being a pragmatist, you downplay this aspect of yourself and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional.

One of my Favorites

I was listening to KSJO last night, on my way to The Scenery (www.thescenery.org) and I heard this song come on. It's something I've always liked listening to & singing....and still remember the lyrics after all these years. For many years, music was a big part of my life. I was in choir from K-12, and took a few singing classes at De Anza. I'm a good singer, but I have the sense to know that I couldn't make a career out of it. I *love* rock music, but my voice is classically trained....hardly a compatible mix, unless I want to get into pop, country or love songs. I miss being part of a choir. I miss letting my voice rise above the others & having the appreciation of those listening to me. Every now & then I toss around the idea of joining a choir, but it seems that most of them are religious/church based...which is just a direction I'm incapable of going in. I sometimes think 1 of the reasons I stayed with RHPS so long was that it was a guaranteed opportunity to sing once a week in front of a crowd. November Rain by Guns N' Roses When I look into you eyes I can see a love restrained But darlin' when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same 'Cause nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this such a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain But lovers always come and lovers always go And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain Do you need some time ...on your own Do you need some time ...all alone Everybody needs some time ... on their own Don't you know you need some time ...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you Sometimes I need some time ...on my own Sometimes I need some time ...all alone Everybody needs some time ... on their own Don't you know you need some time ...all alone And when your fears subside And shadows still remain I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain Don't ya think that you need somebody Don't ya think that you need someone Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one

http://www.paulsadowski.com/birthday.asp You entered: 7/27/1970 You were born on a Monday under the astrological sign Leo. Your Life path number is 6. The Julian calendar date of your birth is 2440794.5. The golden number for 1970 is 14. The epact number for 1970 is 22. The year 1970 was not a leap year. As of 11/20/2003 11:43:12 PM CST You are 33 years old. You are 400 months old. You are 1,738 weeks old. You are 12,169 days old. You are 292,079 hours old. You are 17,524,783 minutes old. You are 1,051,486,992 seconds old. There are 250 days till your next birthday and 35 days till Christmas! The moon's phase on the day you were born was waning crescent. Moon's age (days): 23 Distance (Earth radii): 60.99 Percent Illumination 35.16% Ecliptic latitude (degrees): 4.97 Ecliptic longitude (degrees): 58.35 6 The Life Path 6 indicates that very prominent in your nature is a strong sense of responsibility. You are idealistic and must feel useful to be happy. The main contribution you make is that of advice, service and ever present support. This is the Life Path related to leadership by example and assumption of responsibility, thus, it is your obligation to pick up the burden and always be ready to help. The Life Path 6 is one who is compelled to function with strength and compassion, a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal and material resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding are the cornerstones of this Life Path. Your extraordinary wisdom and the ability to understand the problems of others is apt to commence from an early age allowing you to easily span the generation gap and assume an important role in life early on. While the 6 may assume huge responsibilities in the community, the life revolves around the immediate home and family, for this is the most domestic of numbers. Most with Life Path 6 are the positive types who willingly carry far more than their fair share of the load and are always there when needed. You are very human and realistic about life, and you feel that the most important thing in your life is the home, family and friends. The number 6 Life Path actually produces few negative examples, but there are some pitfalls peculiar to the path. Avoid a tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to others. Also, avoid being too critical (of yourself or of others). The misuse of this Life Path produces tendencies towards exaggeration, over-expansiveness, and self-righteousness. Imposing one's views in an interfering or meddling way must be an issue of concern. The natural burdens of this number are heavy, and on rare occasions, responsibility is abdicated by persons with this Life Path 6. This rejection of responsibility will make you feel very guilty and uneasy, and it will have very damaging effects upon your relationships with others.

The quote below is from a friend of mine, http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=courtneydisney, and really summed up something I've been trying to express for months. Being submissive doesn't mean you can't have an opinion - by all means have them, and express them, though it may be overridden. Whenever I ask for opinions, preferences, thoughts, or whatnot....I'm not asking to hear myself talk, and I'm definitely not asking so that I can hear someone parrot back to me what they think I want to hear. If you think that your going to end up disagreeing with me, or expressing something unpleasant that I might not want to hear, that's OK! Just say what you want to say in a respectful manner, and I'll more than likely be totally ok with it. Having a difference of opinion is acceptable & expected. Arguing with me, in a disrespectful manner is not. There's a difference between debating & arguing. One is rational, the other is emotional. The emotional form usually accomplishes nothing but making all parties concerned hurt & upset.
