Took a much needed minor break from here...

Needed to recharge that brain of mine. I have done a few quizzes, but only a few and what I could manage to help my Team.

Instead I used my brainacs for this site: listal

You can basically make lists about you fave:
- Movies
- TV shows
- Actors & Actresses
- Musical Artists & Bands
- Basically make lists about all you LOVE (or hate) in the entertainment industry.

This is me: CharlieBlue's listal profile

I love making lists, so I love that site. I had been neglecting it for a while, so I needed to get back to it.


The font in HTML based quizzes...

Those you head to from the front-page, really could be a bit larger. And this is why...

I'm slightly light and photo sensitive, has a bad eye-sight (been wearing glasses since I was 2 years old), so I'm not really fond of overly flashing things, the brightness of any lights or the sun and things in small writings and fonts. I also suffer from an inherited eye-disease, that I got from my grand-mother, so this also contributes to my bad eye sight...

I just failed a question, because even if I knew the right answer, I couldn't really separate the mass of questions, namely because it is too small. If I hadn't, I would have answered all questions correctly.

I could enlarge it, via my browser, but that would make all other font huge-mongous. Meaning I'd have to scale it down again, after finishing such a quiz.


I'm a tad annoyed.... So for no one to miss this, the black bolded (Verdana) font is in size 3 and the blue bolded (Comic) font is in size 5.

Bored: So Shuffle Survey....

I love these kinds of surveys...

~ SEPARATION LINE ~ SEPARATION LINE ~ SEPARATION LINE ~

Some titles just simply hits home, with whatever question they are paired with. It is sometimes very scary.

I'm pretty much stupidly in love with both David Bowie and Metallica. So there'll be lots of songs from both parties.

I finally found a title for my blog..

(It only took me a while!)

Just look up.

Never really been a conformist,
never wanted to be it either,
so that blog title suits it.

(And sort of inspired by Stargate SG-1,
second fave TV show- look to the left,
and the terminology used in that.)

Me picking the correct answers...

Just tends to be pure luck and pure guess-work at times.

I mean, if the question is about a Russian person (I know nothing about) and there's only one Russian name or person, amongst some other names or persons, then I always pick that one. It is a hazard, but it almost always works out and I tend to get the best result.

It is a bit on the cheating site, but I always commit the correct answers (if I have any questions wrong) to memory, so I can do a quiz next time without that pure-luck and guess-work.

Meaning, that I don't feel like I am cheating, since I tend to want to be real about it.


Just a status entry...

So how well am I doing now? Well, fairly great having only been her for barely a month. I am a bit surprised over myself and my prowess here.

- I'm now a Level 20.

- Got 2 Small Challenges and 5 Major Challenges badges.

- I started to play the Global Challenge and went from Newbies to The Graduates.

- I try to play a Monster Quiz every day.

And I hope that I do well for my team The Flakes.



Lamenting that fact....

...That while I am fast on my (mouse) clicking finger, I'm not nearly as fast when reading in English. At least no so fast that I both read and understand the questions on this site.

They can be so convoluted, filled with big long almost incomprehensible words and long that I need to read the question a few times, before I can finally understand them.

So when I've finally done the quiz, a lot of time has gone by, so I'm still far down the list on the score board.

It is scary how fast some people are with the reading and the clicking.

Hates being a foreigner on this site when that happens.
Else there's nothing to complain about.

My Favorite TV Shows...

This is in the order, mostly, that I fell in love with the TV shows and the Ships. Of what I can remember with the first ones that is, since it all started in January 1994 and I turned 17 in February that year.

The X-Files
Mulder/Scully
CSI: Las Vegas Grissom/Sara
The West Wing Josh/Donna
JAG Harm/mac
NCIS Gibbs/Abby
Bones Booth/Brennan
Stargate SG-1 Jack/Sam
Stargate: Atlantis
John/Elizabeth
Star Trek: TNG
Riker/Troi
Moonlight
Mick/Beth
The Mentalist Jane/Lisbon
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles John/Cameron
Life Crews/Reese
Lie To Me Cal/Gillian

(And because I am a notorious and long-standing Shipper, I always find someone to ship, though I always makes sure, that I fall in love with the show first and a ship later. That's those next to the TV Show.)

But that list above is not all, since I have a so-called Master List Of Ships.

*Sighs*

I'm so not doing well today. In any quiz.

I should take a day off, so I can recharge that brain of mine, now it hasn't had a break here since I joined this site.

Or just for the rest of tonight. Wonder if I can even do that at all?

(I have a feeling that I wont.)

EDIT: I couldn't even do well for my team "The Flakes" today. So what does that say about my brain today? Not much I'm afraid...

First Entry...

I think this blog should be just about how I'm doing, on each particular day, where quizzing and stuff are concerned. I've got a LiveJournal and that's enough, since I can't even do an entry there every day. My life's just not that interesting.

This is my LiveJournal, where no one but friends can see my personal entries, but the profile page, follow the link, shows more of who I am in general.
