Any of the following: Advanced Photoshop magazine, Photoshop Creative magazine, JPG magazine, or Computer Arts.

I have no idea. :(

3. We’re buying you any house within a one-mile radius of your own! Which one do you want, and why?
I don’t want any of the houses within a mile of my own! Why can’t it be anywhere I want? :(

Nothing.

2. What do you like on a hamburger?
I don’t eat red meat, and haven’t for almost four years.

Just salt and pepper.

4. What do you like on a slice of toast?
Jelly–either apple or grape.

5. What do you like in a cup of coffee or tea?
I don’t like regular coffee (though I do like capuccino). In my tea, usually just a couple of teaspoons of sugar will do it.

Yeah, I’m a bit of a plain jane, in regard to most of my food; can you tell? ;)

friday five ~ february 9 edition

Friday5.org » Friday 5 for February 9: Testing, Testing…

1. When you were a student, would you have been more likely to turn your test in first or last?
Somewhere in between, actually. But probably closer to last.

2. Question 1 on a test can be narrowed down to either A or B (you’re sure it’s one or the other). Question 12 on the test can be narrowed down to the same two answers. You know one is A and the other is B. Do you go for the all-or-nothing guess (choosing A for one and B for the other) or do you play it safe and take one correct (choosing A for both questions)?

It depends on what the questions are and if I know the answers.

3. Are you more of a multiple-choicer, a true-falser, a fill-in-the-blanker, or a free-responder?
True/False and free response.

4. What are your thoughts on standardized college aptitude tests such as the SAT?
I think they’re stupid, honestly. Let’s just say my grades were better than my SAT score. *nods*

5. In the past week, in what ways have you been tested?
n/a
