The characters are 「斿于𡎐」, or using ideographic description sequences: 「斿于⿰坴丮」. These are stand-ins for what we would now write as 「游于藝」; 「斿」 is the right hand side of 「游」, and 「𡎐」 is a seal script form of 「埶」, forming the middle part of 「藝」.
The phrase referred to is a line from The Analects: Transmission of Learning:
《論語・述而》
子曰：「志於道，據於德，依於仁，游於藝。」

In the past, General Ts'ao was skilled in painting both the bone and flesh of a horse. Now as I peruse the work of Liu Kuan-tao, seeing the spirit of both the man and horse are equally fine makes me lament his skill as a lost art.8

from the comment:
but I didn't want to just give my full name outright on the internet. My name is a mix of English and Spanish names
i see, then i started the process from “john andrew”.
the surname “andrew”, in spanish would be “andrés”, it sounds “similar” to “晏” or “顏” in cantonese, in which,
晏 (u+6641)[sound file] means “sunny, peaceful, late”, a less ...

You have done a lot of research, and picking a name is entirely your personal choice, there are no right or wrong answer to it, just good or bad choices. Bad choice means something that sounds offensive or taboo, e.g. 徐定富 means '徐 + certain to get rich' but it sounds the same as 除定褲 (drop the trousers first) in Cantonese. Your four choices have no problem ...

The Chinese character is 愣 (lèng). Usually characters with the 心-radical (on the left) are related to emotions.
From Oxford Dictionaries:
adjective

Example:
大量信息 - a lot of information
毫无信息 - no information,
错误信息 - wrong information
科学信息 - scientific information
互通信息 - mutually sending information = sharing information
讯息 - message; news; information (specific)

無情對
It is a special couplet form, the upper and lower lines are not related to cohesion. But each single "character" in the upper couplet match each single "character" in the lower couplet

A few possibilities come to mind:
First, given that there is often no indication of plurality in Chinese, 箱子 may actually be indicating "boxes", rather than "box". That is, each pallet does contain many boxes and so the fork lift is loading many boxes into the truck.
Second, depending on where you saw this picture and caption, it is ...

My translation would go like:
Cinderella went from rags to riches, but when you..
灰姑娘经历了从贫贱到富贵，但当你...
It is proper to say '从穷到富', but as it is quite succinct, it is more likely to be used in blog titles and summaries rather than a sentense or an article.
"贫贱" also reflects people's social status, compared to "穷".

The "迷" looks more like an interchangeable character of "谜" here according to the context. So I personally see the sentence better translates into "Human and gods, like winds, like enigmas".

'fancy' is a shortened form of fantasy, so in relation to manner or bearing it will always have at least a tinge of negativity, of someone imagining themself to be what he or she is not.
She is very fancy.
她真花俏。
She's rather gaudy.
她很时髦。
She is very fashionable
她打扮得花里胡哨。
She is gaudy.

fancy adj. not simple or ordinary 复杂的；花巧的；精致的(From "Oxford Elementary Learner's English-Chinese Dictionary, 4th Edition")
So the translation should be:
她打扮得很精致。
or
她穿着很华丽。
