Bitter.

Like dark chocolate... but without the chocolatey goodness. And the cardiovascular benefits.

I just spent the last hour putting together a jigsaw puzzle, and wowee! Let me tell you how exciting my life is...

So I was doing this damn puzzle (I did the sky section) on a whim, because it's 2 in the morning and I'm tired of reading and writing, and I've reached this Guitar Hero plateau where I just can't get any better and don't really want to because the game has nothing to do with skill or music or anything that could possibly be useful anywhere outside of a 10 foot radius around the TV, and I realized how much you can probably tell about a person by how they approach a jigsaw puzzle.

Like me, for instance (because I have very little exposure to jigsaw puzzles and the doing of them by others), at first I was just bored, but kind of being stubborn about finishing the part that I had set out to do. After about 20 minutes of futilely trying to match up the colors (which was quite impossible in my situation), I realized that the little jigsaw bits had distinct shapes. And then I started focusing on the shapes of the little corners and nubby bits more than color. And it worked! I pimp slapped that sky (and by "pimp slapped", I mean "finished) in a very unimpressive span of time. But I finished it nonetheless.

Where as my dad, for another instance, comes over to a puzzle, looks at the general idea behind the picture, and then places the piece solely based on color and general layout. Mind-boggling.

In conclusion, I only have two styles to go on and, therefore, can not really expand on this blog post further. And as I'm fairly certain that people with lives don't actually do jigsaw puzzles much, no one will probably add to/expound on my theory, except for Maca who is awesome.
