According to this Color Personality Test I took I am considered...DEFINITELY BLUE. Below is what it said I am like. You can decide whether this is false or factual ;-)
Congratulations, Christal, you are a BLUE personality. The Core Motivation that drives you through life is "Intimacy". It is important to note that this does not mean sexual intimacy. BLUES need connection - the sharing of rich, deep emotions that bind people together. As a BLUE, you will often sacrifice a great deal of time, effort, and/or personal convenience to develop and maintain meaningful relationships throughout your life.
BLUES seek opportunities to genuinely connect with others, and need to be understood and appreciated, especially by their partner. Everything you do as a BLUE has to be quality-based, or you won't do it at all. You are incredibly loyal to friends, employers, employees, and above all to your significant other. Whatever or whomever you commit to is your sole (and soul) focus. As a BLUE, you love to serve and will give freely of yourself in order to nurture the lives of others.
BLUES have distinct preferences and are the most controlling of the four personalities, although they may not acknowledge (or even realize) the fact. Your code of ethics is remarkably strong and you expect others (not only your partner and those closest to you, but everyone) to live honest, committed lives as well. You enjoy sharing meaningful moments in conversation with your partner as well as remembering special life events (e.g. birthdays and anniversaries).

Who Should Talk?
So one day after class (the day I said I was a democrat in class) I was waiting for Sis. Hansen to talk to her and he came up to me and said “have you seen that story on abortion?” and I said “What?” and he said “ya know the one where they leave the babies in the room to die”
I said “where did you see this story”
Him “I got it in an email”
Me “an email?”
Him “well it was a link”
Me “So you got an email with a link to this story?” “coming from a journalistic standpoint I think you should probably research other news sources. Not just CNN and Fox news but various places”
Him “yea, that is good”
Me “because honestly from experience…anyone can start a story. Even a network story can be pitched by a regular person like me”
Him “well don’t you…” (then he went on but I didn’t continue listening. He tried continue talking on the subject)
Me “I’m a democrat but I’m against abortion” and I said that in a bit of a staunch manner so he would leave me alone.

Teachers Pest
I have this math class. Unfortunately I wasn't intelligent enough to finish taking the course during the beginning of my college career. Thus I am stuck.
I am stuck with a women who doesn't understand my communication skills and seems to think I have a personal vendetta against her. The true fact seems to be that she has a personal vendetta against me.
I class she asked us all to hand in Vocabulary terms. No one knew we were handing them in or that they were due. I then rose my hand and said that "did you tell us last class that we were handing this in or did you tell us on I-Learn?" She looked very confused and offended.
My intention: to find out if she had actually told us so I could make sure I didn't miss something important next time.
Her reaction: she pulled me aside and said to me "can you please not question me in front of the whole class?" I looked at her very confused. She said "when you do that you make everyone else question me"
My reaction: "I wasn't targeting you, I was asking a question"....unfortunately, she didn't care.
I left that day angry, sad, and confused. Does she have some personal vendetta against me? Is she prideful? Am I prideful? I went through many cycles on who's wrong/who's right. Eventually I've decided to try and forget it.

LIFE & AH!
So I haven't updated this blog in a uber long time. Here are some recent updates...
I like to say the word "UBER" and I've been saying it a lot lately. I also have a recent addiction to beef jerky and diet Dr. Pepper. I've been going to all my classes and trying to work super hard so I can graduate. I pray that the University doesn't pull a fast one on me and gives me the degree I deserve.
*eats more jerky and takes a swig of da peppa*
Some other things in my life involve a fun trip to yellow stone with some super cool peeps. Check the photo below
Some other things to think about in my life is my serious lack of paying my bills on time. I seem to remember them in the morning but in the night I just forget.
As you can probably tell I am totally rambling...It must be all the caffeine....
Another thing I'd like to discuss are people who literally fantasize about hearing themselves talk. There is one such man in my Persuasion class. My friend and I call him Moses. We call him Moses because not only does he like to hear himself talk but he also enjoys religious discussion and an idealistic holier than thou attitude.
Oh the one thing I can count on is that my persuasive nature is far more advanced than his. Ha!
Peace out home skillets!

I don't think it will be as bad as Katrina but it still baffles me how some people don't learn their lesson. Here is a very sad story below that I wanted to share.

The Democratic National Convention
Well my journey is finally over for the summer. Now it's time to get ready for school. But before I do I have to write about my meanderings at the convention.
Honestly it was some of the easiest and hardest work I've ever done. Hard because I was exhausted. I pulled 10-11 hour days and most of it involved the following...
Aug. 21st
12:00pm
Woke up and me my counterparts at the Pepsi Center. Security wasn't bad...there was no "perimeter" that I had to pass to get to the center.
We looked around at our workspace...crap. We were put inside a display with excersize bikes. We decided to make the best of it.
We ate lunch at Brauns. Brauns is where the Fox News Channel, Fox News Radio, & Foxnews.com were set up. We broadcast from Brauns and the Pepsi Center as well as Invesco on Thursday.
Aug. 22nd
I don't remember when I woke but all I do remember about this day was putting up banners. Lots and lots of banners.
Aug. 23rd
Oye! The fun begins! I woke early this day and got to the "perimiter" it was NUTS. There were protestors and security galore! I spent the day going in and out of the primeter getting affiliates and making sure they had credentials. Then I gave tours of the places they were broadcasting from.
Aug. 25th-Aug. 27th
My days started at noon at the Pepsi Center. Celebrities, delegates, and random guests filled the Pepsi Center. By day I was helping affiliates book guests. By night I was Alan Colmes bodyguard and runner. Ha. Over the course of these days I met Dennis Kucinich who I am proud to say is one of the nicest men I've ever met! Seriously!
I also got scorned by ted copple because he started to walk towards me and I was holding my camera. I think he thought I was going to take a picture of him...so he said "uh uh uh". I was not happy...but got over it pretty fast.
On Wednesday night we got booned, and given the finger by people who didn't like Fox News.
Aug. 27th
This is the day that Barack Obama spoke at Invesco. By this time NO ONE was in the Pepsi Center anymore except for Radio Row which is where all of the conservative talk shows were located. As you might have guess we weren't the punch of the party. I was extreamly bored and listened to Colmes entire radio show live that night. He used to be a stand up comedian and his show is actually pretty good. The reason I wrote the nasty anti-republican blog was because of all of the genius people who called in to Alan's show that night.
Aug. 28th
This was the day that nothing happened. I went into work at 12pm on Thursday (yesterday) and came in on Friday at 5am, although I was supposed to be there at 3am but I waited TWO HOURS for a cab that never came. I ended up taking an early bus.
By 11am the whole set was down and it was like we were never there. I wandered around downtown Denver until I could barely stand. I had been up for 27 hours. I finally got back to the place I was staying and went to sleep.
Aug. 29th
Flew back to Idaho. My computer screen got smashed when it fell over in my bag while I was waiting for a bus.
Conclusion...
I had a lot of fun. I learned a lot too. I felt really lonely at times. I realized I like to work in TV rather than radio. I met a lot of cool radio affiliates. I now know that Hillary's delegates got the shaft!
That's it...

Ignorance
It astounds me that some people will still open their mouths. Do they know what they're saying? Do they realize other people are listening?
My recent thoughts about ignorance came about while lIstening to the general public open up their republican atriums. You may disown my friendship after I say this, but I state it as an experienced fact: the most ignorant people I've ever known were republicans. The rest were people who didn't know what party they were. After discussing the values of each party with them, they make their decision. "I guess I'm a republican"
This is not to say there aren't ignorant democrats. But let's think about it...democrats seek more change than republicans as a general rule. Many republicans think things shouldn't change. So if we're ever evolving, but not changing, where does that get us? Nowhere.
