Music Study Monday

By
For those who have read my blog in the past, you may know that I have a weird fascination with random studies. I came across this music study a little while ago which says that your personality and the music you listen to are related. Interesting. Here is the chart the psychologist put together with correlating personality traits with different genres of music. (Except blogger wouldn't let me copy the chart over, so it is more of a list.)


Blues: High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle and at ease
Jazz: High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, at ease
Classical: High self-esteem, creative, introverted, at ease
Rap: High self-esteem, outgoing
Opera: High self-esteem, creative, gentle
Country: Hard-working, outgoing
Reggae: High self-esteem, creative, not hard-working, outgoing, gentle, at ease
Dance: Creative, outgoing, not gentle
Indie: Low self-esteem, creative, not hard-working, not gentle
Bollywood: Creative, outgoing
Rock/Heavy Metal: Low self-esteem, creative, not hard-working, introverted, gentle, at ease
Pop: High self-esteem, not creative, hard-working, outgoing, gentle, not at ease
Soul: High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle, at ease


My question is, what if you like different types of music? Hypothetically, let’s say we have a friend named Lula who likes to listen to Classical music when she studies, her workout mix is mainly Rock and Pop and she listens to Indie when she enjoys hobbies like taking a walk or painting. In the past I would think that would mean Lula was well rounded in the realm of music. However, according to this study, it would suggest that poor Lula is on the verge of being bipolar. Thoughts anyone?

    According to this study it looks like most people that listen to music are creative, outgoing and have high self-esteem. David and I like lots of the same kinds of music but we don't really have the same personality. My guess is that Lula is only bi polar if she's totally hung up on "Frosty the Snowman", the soundtrack to "Happy Feet" and any song about the North Pole.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

One of Those Nights

By
You know the time when you turn the corner too sharp and gouge one of your toes on the retro 70's border that lines your home and apparently you have really good blood circulation in your feet, because your toe starts bleeding profusely.  In an effort to stop the bleeding, you limp to the kitchen to grab a paper towel to clean up your poor toe only to track blood all over the carpet.  (But then, luckily the husband comes and helps clean up the blood trail, your sad, little toe and gets you a band-aid.)  So once you have recovered from your messy injury, your really nice husband makes you a smoothie to make you feel better, only for you to drip it down the front of you on one of your favorite shirts.  Yeah, it's been one of those nights.  Sigh. In other news, last week I went to the musical "Little Women" with Talena.  I wrote a review for the Utah Theater Bloggers Association, which you can read here .  It's been awhile since I've done any reviewin...
