Movie: Donnie Darko

Donnie Darko is a psychological thriller-fantasy film which was directed and written by Richard Kelly in 2001.  The story is about the title character, Donald "Donnie" Darko on his various adventures as he searches for the meanings behind his belief of time-travel, meeting an imaginary friend in a large bunny suit named Frank and the significance of the Doomsday related visions.

I have only seen Donnie Darko last night/early morning so I don't know the film entirely well, unlike many who have seen it many times.  I wouldn't mind owning the film, since it is a very mind-fucking film.  I had always wanted to see the film despite not knowing what it was about because many said it was a great film and it was also acknowledged as one of the films you have to see before you die, so it is pretty famous.  Jake Gyllenhaal is in it, so you have to at least see it because of him.  Overall, great film and definitely recommend.

Personality Tests

I know that I can be anti-social and prefer to keep to myself, but whenever I am with friends who make me be myself, I laugh constantly and talk a lot (depending on the subject).  Today I came across 4degreez Personality Disorder Test and decided to take the test, since I am not doing anything productive at the moment.  Here are my results:

Paranoid: Means that I have "distrust of others and a constant suspicion that people around you have sinister motives. People with this disorder tend to have excessive trust in their own knowledge and abilities and usually avoid close relationships."

Schizoid: This means I " avoid relationships and do not show much emotion. Unlike avoidants, schizoids genuinely prefer to be alone and do not secretly wish for popularity. They tend to seek jobs that require little social contact. Their social skills are often weak and they do not show a need for attention or acceptance."

Schizotypal: Means that I have "mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterised by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others."

Antisocial: Simply means that I have "poor social skills" and "prone to criminal behaviour" - No, I am not ever planning to become a criminal in the future.

Borderline: Means I have "mood instability and poor self-image. People with this disorder are prone to constant mood swings and bouts of anger." - I am actually quite conservative and hardly get angry

Histrionic: Means I am a "constant attention seeker. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise."

Narcissistic: AKA "self-centred"

Avoidant: Means that I have "extreme social anxiety. People with this disorder often feel inadequate, avoid social situations, and seek out jobs with little contact with others"

Dependent: Technically it means "a need to be taken care of" - For anyone who doesn't know what dependent means

Obsessive-Compulsive: People with OCD "are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture."

I recommend the test, just so you can 'see' what you can try and change, that is, if you can.

After taking the test above, I took Big 5 Personality Test which was alright. 

Openness to Experience/Intellect (16%): You prefer traditional and familiar experiences.

Conscientiousness (69%): You are well-organised, and are reliable.

Extraversion (18%): You probably enjoy spending quiet time alone.

Agreeableness (69%): You tend to consider the feelings of others.

Neuroticism (27%): You are generally relaxed.

That test was really close to what I am.  I am very organised, reliable, enjoy quiet time alone, consider feelings of others and I am usually relaxed.* This post won't let me delete the extra page breaks, so just ignore the large gap below here. xx

Since I haven't been posting anything this week, I decided to make a "special" mixtape.  The back image is blurry than usual, which is soo annoying.  Oh well, hope you are all excited that Christmas is only 23 days away

Sorry

I know I haven't blogged for a while.  Yesterday, I began to reread Vampire Academy series since the final book comes out in six days!  I cannot wait to read it.  I want to see what happens with Rose/Dimitri.  Actually, I am just excited to get the book, that I think that I am going to cry so much while reading it.  Happy cries, hopefully.  I have cried way too much through out the five books that it is embarrassing.  Especially, when it isn't a sad scene...

Getting a haircut on Friday, woop woop!  I can't wait to get all of this bloody hair off me!  I am the worst person to be with when I am reading while lying down on a pillow.  I have to always fix my hair if it is slightly loose, or I give up and just let my hair down.

Not a very exciting blog, unfortunately.  Sorry guys, going to go read Frostbite (second Vampire Academy book) since I finished Vampire Academy in six hours, which I think is a record :D

Since last week's mixtape, I had downloaded all of the Harry Potter soundtracks, hence the reason that all seven, yes I added two extra songs/scores.  These seven songs (technically scores) are my favourite song from each of the Harry Potter soundtracks.
