To be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure I've heard about it (but my brain today is a big pile o' undercaffeinated sludge.)
It's just a learning styles test, rather like the millions of personality tests we've all taken and loved. It's just that for one of the styles, in addition to the likes (facts, details, knowing what's next) there were the dislikes, which included "role-playing" (causing me to do a silent "AMEN!"). Not that roleplaying in education has the same "ooh, let's embarrass someone!" goal of those sorts of games, but to me it's got the same "pointless time-wasting pretend-we're-having-fun" feel to it.
Whimper. I gave my bridesmaids amethyst earrings. Real amethysts, but not expensive. We gave the groomsmen small spyderco knives (one of which I still have because the groomsman in question was flying home without checked luggage and I haven't gotten around to mailing it to him). I was a bad bride. I'd better never get married again.
We were invited to the wedding of the couple's shower people, but we didn't go because it was in Mississippi the first weekend of JazzFest. Who plans a wedding like that?
So I'm feeling a bit conflicted. I pre-ordered Harry Potter, but I can't possibly afford to read it until my classes are over for the summer. I may have to ask vw to confiscate it when it comes. But I really want to read it, and if I don't will have to avoid people's livejournals. Which I should be doing anyway, because, hello, classes!
Or maybe the post office will leave it outside at the bus stop and someone will steal it, neatly resolving the problem.
The FAC brides whose weddings I was in (3 or 4; I can't remember any more) gave crap bridesmaids gifts. I went shopping with one bride for the gifts, which were really ugly $10 rhinestone earrings from Claire's that we were expected to wear with the dresses.
Heh. Earrings and gloves were my gifts to my bridal party. I got married in the year of the weddings among our family and friends. I think my own wedding was something like 8th or 10th in ~ as many months. I was broke. So was my bridal party. I can't remember if I gave them anything else, or not.
I'm sure you did just fine, -t. Let it go!!

No, that's nice! Amethysts != rhinestones. Seriously.

But were the earrings just unrelentingly ugly? If not, then good gift.
