An Early April Spring Day

It's getting a bit late, so I'll keep this short.

Today was another gorgeous weather day in Auburn. A mini-cookout with a great friend and George Foreman really made the day. Minus a few insects and millions of yellow pollen bits, it really could not have been better. There is just something about soaking up vitamin D out in front of your abode, chatting about who knows what, and eating some really good food that was nearly just bought on a whim. It was really the most relaxing day I've had in a long while.

Also, I suppose I should mention that someone suggested I take a quiz on love languages. Now, I'm not really one to take quizzes that don't count for some kind of academic credit, but this actually sounded pretty interesting. How do I communicate my love for another? Flowers? Sappy phrases? A jab to the side? Actually, it was broken down into five categories: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving of Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch.

For me, I scored highest on Quality Time. This sounds just about right. With everything else gone, all I want (or need) is someone to spend, well, a good deal of quality time with. No matter where, how, or when, if I have that someone there, things are usually all good.

The lowest score I received on the quiz was Receiving of Gifts. Again, this is true. I don't want all of your cheesy presents, nor would I want you to waste your time going to great lengths to get them. I would much rather spend some "Quality Time."

All in all, this little quiz illustrates much of how an individual communicates his/her "love languages," and does so by asking just a few questions. Being somewhat of a stats geek and psychology advocate, I was skeptical at first, but now I have a better understanding of myself, and how others better behave if they want a piece.
