Fifi's Thoughts 11/17/2009 10:22:55 AM
YOU PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME THAT I THINK A SPIDER OR A BEE MAY BE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN A COW? Omigosh this is a sign of the economic slowdown that Petros is giving me an 10 minutes for my coffee break because we have fewer customers coming to the coffee shop BUT UH OH UH OH HE LET A GIRL GO LAST WEEK BECAUSE OF THE 'TIMES' AND IF WE LOOK AT SENIORITY AND THE OTHER TWO GIRLS KIM AND MARCY HAVE MORE SENIORITY THAN I DO.........ANYWAYS PETROS SAYS HE LOOKS AT PERFORMANCE NOT SENIORITY WHEN HE MAKES A DECISION TO CUT SOMEONE AND I KNOW I'M A HARDER WORKER THAN THOSE OTHER TWO GIRLS.....NOT TO MENTION HE HIRED A 'WAITER,' DARTMOUTH GRAD DAN WHO IS ALSO AN ACTOR WAY AFTER HE HIRED ME AND SINCE DAN SEEMS TO SPEND MORE TIME ON HIS CELL PHONE TALKING TO SOME 'GIRLFRIEND' THAN HE DOES WORKING AS A WAITER.....WELL IF PETROS LETS ME GO BEFORE DAN BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY THERE WILL BE SOME SEX DISCRIMINATION SUIT....
Allright enough of that so Petros gives me a little more time and doesn't dock my pay and that's why you're seeing a few more silly 'Thoughts' recently after what a long drought? Of course I'm still quite busy marketing 'Diary' especially with it now being close to Christmas and of course......there's always the auditions or trying to get an audition.....Anyways all that stuff gobbles up my time...
OK you people know I've been doing a little brain research recently as a matter of fact Marcus is going to be writing an article on the '5 Qs and the four brains...' You people know you have 4 brains, the 2 limbic brains (amygdalas) that handle all the emotional stuff and the two cerebral cortexes that handle all the thinking and memory stuff and the moving of the body and the hearing and seeing stuff...OK now there are also 5 Qs or 5 'Quotients...' to measure people's different intelligences. Of course one measurement of intelligence the famous IQ but there needs to be other quotients by these doctors or psychologits or whoever makes these things.
Now you people all have heard of IQ or intelligent quotient you know like somebody who has got an IQ is like Einstein and then we're talking about individuals with low IQs....well than we're talking about famous politiicans or comedians or bleach blondes from 'The Hills' or used car salesmen or some college or pro football coaches......UGGGGGGH BEING A HAWKEYES AND BEARS FAN I'M NOT PUTTING KURT FERENZ AND LOVEY SMITH IN THAT LOW IQ CATEGORY BUT SOME OF THE DECISIONS THEY MADE AGAINST THE BUCKEYES AND THE 49ERS LAST WEEK....THE HAWKEYES WERE COMPETING FOR THE BCS TITLE GAME 2 WEEKS AGO KURT NOW THEY'LL BE HAPPY TO MAKE WHAT THE TULIP BOWL?
OK so let's talk about these 5 Quotients, the first being of course the Intelligent Quotient, now that measures how well your left cerebrum, which does most of the critical thinking. Next there needs to be a Creative Quotient or CQ, well that measures how creative a person is....Now I read somewhere on the Net that creativity is usually comes from a person's right cererbral cortex....Next there needs to be an SQ, or Social Quotient, the social part of your brain is the limbic brain especially the amygdala and especially the right amygdala. So when a person is more sociable you know like at parties and stuff well then he or she uses the 'right amygdala' more than say a wallflower does.
The third quotient is the AQ, the Athletic Quotient, now that measures a person's athletic/manuel dexterity ability. That would be from a person's right cerebrum. Finally you have the LQ, the quotient that measures a person's organizational/leadership skills. Now a person's LQ has been determined to come from the left limbic part of the brain.
So in measuring all my Qs I believe I have a fairly high IQ (I did graduate top of my class from a top liberal arts college), of course being an actress I believe my CQ is quite high, my SQ is probably average because I'M SORRY BUT AT TIMES I WOULD RATHER BE MYSELF THAN BE WITH SOME PEOPLE WHO IRRITATE ME. I consider myself fairly athletic and work out a lot. Also I also loved to row and play soccer when I was in school, so may AQ is above average. Also being a girl from the Midwest I can change the oil in my truck plus do a tuneup on it. So I'm a bit manually dexterous. Finally my LQ? Well I don't have a lot of patience dealing with people like a leader type person does nor am I very organized. (You should have seen the inside of my bedroom before I cleaned it up this last weekend). However do believe I have a bit of a background BECAUSE I WILL LET NOBODY PUSH ME AROUND....So my LQ is....probably average.
Allright you people you may want figure out what your Qs are. Of course except for the IQ these other Qs I just made up BUT WHO KNOWS IN A FEW YEARS THE NOBEL PRIZE GUY MAY CALL ME UP AND SAY 'CONGRATUALTIONS FIFI FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO 'PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE.'
My roomate Marissa saw her first 'mouse' a few weeks ago and her scream scared the living daylights out of her. I mean I was in my bedroom practicing my lines for an upcoming audition when I hear this ungodly scream.....I ran out and saw Marissa whitefaced like on top of the couch...."Fifi there's a mouse behind the TV..." "OMigod Marissa your scared of a little mouse? I'm from Iowa where we have these big brown Norwegian Brown Rats." I look behind the TV and THIS...... BOLT OF FUR JUST FLIES ACROSS THE ROOM AND INTO THE CLOSET....."EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK." I jump on the couch with Marissa. Ok "wait a minute," I tell her. "Get the shovel in the other closet." She gets the shovel and gives it to me. Now the front door is next to the closet so I tell Marissa to open the door and then I'll open the closet and just shoe it out. "OK ONE TWO THREE' I yell and open the closet...'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK THIS LARGE MOUSE OR SMALL RAT STARES AT ME A FEW SECONDS AND THEN RUNS OUT THE DOOR, I HOLD MY SHOVEL BEHIND LIKE A BASEBALL BAT READY TO SWING BUT I DIDN'T HIT IT. I SLAMMED THE DOOR AFTER IN RAN OUT IN THE BUSH SOMEWHERE. OMIGOSH I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK. I look at Marissa perspiring, "There Marissa you shouldn't be afraid of little things like." We both laughed.
Of course I told my manager and of course instead of call an exterminator he just gave me a few traps and told me to keep all food containers closed and check for any small holes in my apartment. Actually I haven't seen any 'small furry things' since that 'night.....'
You people agree with me that I believe spiders and bees because they can make sophisicated webs and hives are more intelligent than cows which just eat and go to the bathroom? That kind of goes Darwin's evolutionary law of higher life forms being more advanced. As a matter of fact perhaps you can make a case for spiders and bees having more intelligence than say the average 'Hills' Blonde......
You people now realize that 'limbic brained people' who don't like thinking love seeing movies like '2012', 'The Box,' and 'Couples Retreat.' Also cerebral people who like to think to much enjoy seeing movies like Fellini's '8 1/2/' I really couldn't get into any of these movies. I like to see in between movies because my brains are 'in between brains.'
Oh pooh pooh pooh....Long long long lines of tween girls at 'The New Moon' premier in Hollywood last night.......
My aetheist friend Dick, I feel like kicking him in the butt....He's got some nerve making a comment about the Pope who mentioned that all the nations need to get together to solve the world's hunger problem. Dick casually mentioned "Well I don't see him living in that palace in Vatican City with all the fancy trappings having to worry about hunger." I'm sorry but I told Dick off...He may be an aetheist but that doesn't give him the right to step on Chrisitan people's toes...NOBODY BADMOUTHS MY POPE... Also Dick who being an Aetheist obviously doesn't believe in Life after Death noticed my interest in brain research and told me "Fifi if there was life after death and of course your 'entity' had no brain than you're telling me you would be consious in some 'astral world' for say thousands of years and never spend one second asleep. How is that possible? That would be almost a form of 'eternal punishment." He kind of had a point there but then I told him the Lord could put our spirits in some kind of a trance state till we woke ready to go into say a 'new cell made body' and come back to Earth, you know reincarnation. He kind of looked at me and nodded..."Yes a new cell made body." It doesn't matter, I wouldn't come back to Earth or any other planet with a new 'cell made body.' I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE ANY ONE OR ANYTHING BESIDES BEING FIFI...ALSO I WOULD ALWAYS WANT TO BE WITH PEOPLE CLOSE TO ME...NOT A BUNCH OF STRANGERS AGAIN....ONE MORE THOUGHT IMPASSING AND I TOLD DICK WHY I BELIEVE IN LAD AND A CREATOR...THE LORD WANTS MAN TO BE PRODUCTIVE SO HE MAKES IT SO MAN NEEDS TO SLEEP SEVEN OR EIGHT HOURS EVERY NIGHT...IF IT WERE ONLY 'NATURE' WE'D ALL BE AWAKE LIKE SAY 6 OR 7 HOURS A DAY AND SLEEP LIKE 30 STRAIGHT HOURS....NO BODY CLOCK....THINK ABOUT IT....WAYWAYWAYWWAYWAY MORE THAN ENOUGH THOUGHTS FOR NOW......
