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...

Blogging is still cool, right?

By
I woke up this morning missing my blog. My very early 2000's blog. I had one called The Life of Jannifer during my 20's/single years. Then I had this one from 2010 - 2015 during my early married years. Then I have a website janniferwood.com where I tried to show I'm a serious writer. I still have that website and I'm still trying to show that I'm a serious writer. However, I missed my place of silliness, this little blog. Or I miss being younger, one of the two. Why not post after 7 years?  Also, I find the title of this blog funny because there are a select few people in my life who call me Jan. Most of them are family members or old friends. The even rarer is Janni, which is reserved for some of my nephews and a few other loved ones. My given name, Jannifer, is usually what I go by, but this also tends to be the most confusing for some reason. That whole A and not E throws people. So, I'll stick with Jan on this one.
