So yeah I'm first and yeah I'm back to brag, I got my score back for the Analytical Writing portion of the GRE and I pearled it - 6/6, 99% percentile.

On the other hand I had to confirm with my ex that we were still very definitely broken up with last night. The last text he sent me reads "Your dumb bye."

I kind of love it.

you're test scores are amazing!

your definitely not dumb.

yore writing is the best!

I don't think it's fair to mock him, when he said "Your dumb bye.", what I think he means is "Your dumb(possessive, refering to himself) bye(will leave you alone)"

or "I used to think you were dumb, but not anymore."

Points for imagination, caelum. I'll give you those. ;)

caelum19  ·  3370 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Are these points imaginary too? If that's the case I can use my imagination to pay you back if you'd like.

Congratulations!

Do you have those samples for Watson to analyze?

If you paste "Your dumb bye." 33 times you get:

    You are boisterous, opinionated and can be perceived as critical.

    You are assertive: you tend to speak up and take charge of situations, and you are comfortable leading groups. You are excitement-seeking: you are excited by taking risks and feel bored without lots of action going on. And you are imaginative: you have a wild imagination.

    Your choices are driven by a desire for modernity.

    You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done. You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them.

P.S. I haven't forgotten the blog thing.

I don't have my samples from the GRE, sadly, I don't get a copy of them - I am not allowed to reveal information about the test questions so having the written answers would I think do that.

I did run the ex (or 1k words' worth) through Watson and holy shit batman look at this Emotional Range:

    Emotional range96%

      Fiery98%

    Prone to worry94%

    Melancholy98%

    Immoderation96%

    Self-consciousness97%

He got a 0% for self-discipline, dear god, Watson, I love you.

I got 0% self discipline, too :D

Oooh, what blog thing

_refugee_  ·  3370 days ago  ·  link  ·  

i do this too super casually, but since it's looking like Kenning's next issue will be its last, I'm going to shove future KBlog traffic to the personal one.

Look! Now you know about all my secret bloggies!

P. P. S. mk actually if it is possible, if you have any comments on the poem packet, I'd really appreciate that before/in lieu of immediate DVH fixing. Just because I am starting to get gnawingly ... thoughtful, that's a nice word for it.

(Anxious, maybe, if we are honest.)

mk  ·  3370 days ago  ·  link  ·  

On its way. :)

Watson - Hubski's in-joke du jour.

I'll bet I can generate that tightrope walking man for a good long stretch by feeding the Sartre cookbook to Watson.

You be smart.

_refugee_  ·  3371 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Thanks, tng. :) Not dating him is...very much the right move, actually for both of us (I'm not a fun person to date if I'm ambivalent or worse about dating a person) - but I understand that he won't be able to see that, at least for a while, maybe not ever.

    I'm not a fun person to date if I'm ambivalent or worse about dating a person

I'm in that same situation right now. The text you got is amazing, what a guy.

Isn't it 6 out of 7? (only jealous bc I got a 5)

_refugee_  ·  3371 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Nah man. Google that. But the upside to that is your score is even better than you thought!

arguewithatree  ·  3371 days ago  ·  link  ·  

HUH. i swear there was a 7... but yeah a 5 is 93rd percentile and if a 6 is 99th I guess there is no 7. WOO

That's amazing. Congratulations on achieving such excellence.

What do you plan on focusing on in grad school?

_refugee_  ·  3371 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I am going for English/creative writing, so the fact that my test scores are so high in those areas is really encouraging to me!

War  ·  3371 days ago  ·  link  ·  

That was my dream originally when I first started out in college, but greater forces worked against me haha. It sounds very exciting, and that's honestly the best part.
