Your Score: Loser- INTP

33% Extraversion, 66% Intuition, 66% Thinking, 40% Judging

Talked to another human being lately? I’m serious. You value knowledge above ALL else. You love new ideas, and become very excited over abstractions and theories. The fact that nobody else cares still hasn’t become apparent to you…

Nerd’s a great word to describe you, and I seriously couldn’t care less about the different definitions of the word and why you’re actually more of a geek than a nerd. Don’t pretend you weren’t thinking that. You want every single miniscule fact and theory to be presented correctly.

Critical? Sarcastic? Cynical? Pessimistic? Just a few words to describe you when you’re at your very best…*cough* Sorry, I mean worst. Picking up the dudes or dudettes isn’t something you find easy, but don’t worry too much about it. You can blame it on your personality type now.

On top of all this, you’re shy. Nice one, wench. No wonder you’re on OKCupid!
Now, quickly go and delete everything about “theoretical questions” from your profile page. As long as nobody tries to start a conversation with you, just MAYBE you’ll now have a chance of picking up a date. But don’t get your hopes up.

I am interested though. If a tree fell over in a forest, would it really make a sound?

Found at my friends blog, Widening Circles. And, Jenn, I’d much rather be a Freak than a Loser. I’m so glad neither one of us believes any of this tripe. ;) But it really fits my mood lately. :(

I am a semicolon

Your Score: Semicolon

You scored 30% Sociability and 64% Sophistication!

Congratulations! You are the semicolon! You are the highest expression of punctuation; no one has more of a right to be proud. In the hands of a master, you will purr, sneering at commas, dismissing periods as beneath your contempt. You separate and connect at the same time, and no one does it better. The novice will find you difficult to come to terms with, but you need no one. You are secure in your elegance, knowing that you, and only you, have the power to mark the skill or incompetence of the craftsman.

You have no natural enemies; all fear you.

And never, NEVER let anyone tell you that you cannot appear in dialogue!

Me, an aristocrat? Or 2

Found at LibraryTavern

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is:
The Very Reverend Mark the Profuse of Nether Wombleshire
Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

Or:

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is:
Count-Palatine Mark the Nimble of Greater Sodbury
Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

Take your pick!

I kind of like them both. Me a Reverend; now that is funny! But I’ll happily take “the Profuse.” As for “Count-Palatine,” well, I’ve lived in the Palatinate twice now, and my son was born there. I practically deserve to be a Count-Palatinate. Look at all the cool toys one would get to play with. And the dress clothes are far better than any interview suit and tie get-up. One’s kitchen might even come with flowery pots and pans; what more could a nimble knight of the Palatinate desire?

Five things you don’t know about me

Posted on by

I got tagged by my friend, jennimi, a few days ago.

It has taken me a while to decide on what to reveal; sorry Jenn! This sort of ties in to many of the issues which caused me to “withdraw” somewhat recently, thus I was a bit “careful” about what to put here. I had several ideas but decided that that detail might be a bit more context sensitive, at least to me and when and to whom I might tell it. Shades of storytelling arising again….

Well, with any luck, these tidbits may be interesting, intriguing or entertaining, but not TMI.

  1. In a much younger life, I had the responsibility of unlocking and passing the Permissive Action Link codes to unlock the nuclear warheads on our missile site in West Germany.
  2. I used to collect beer cans, for almost 20 years. I still have some in storage.
  3. I cut two fingers on my right hand to the bone with an X-acto knife. On Christmas Day. When I was 12, I think.
  4. I listen to Lambchop’s song, “the new cobweb summer,” (almost) every night before I go to bed for the opening lyric, “The last thought that you think today / has already happened…”
  5. I, and the rest of my family (and many others), have a permanent life-time ban on donating blood. This is thanks to being in Europe during the beginnings of the Mad Cow scare, or more accurately, the rise of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy.

Hopefully nothing here will cost me a job someday. Hehe. Just some of the more mundane facts about my life.

If you haven’t done this yet, and you would like to, then feel free to feel tagged. I’m a little too out of shape right now to be tagging anyone and running away.

Weird weather lately

Posted on by

Yes, Virginia, we, too, have been having unseasonably warm weather. In late November. Had to open my window last night; after turning off the heat several days ago. It’ll be in the 60s today, getting rainier, and then sleet and 20s for tomorrow. Yay! November is back.

Seriously though, we had some great weather over break. Warm, sunny and calm winds. We had at least 3 days like that. I did get to the disc golf course on Black Friday. If I had been paying attention I could have went on Thanksgiving or Sat. It’s been warm in assorted ways for even longer. Up till today, anyway.

I got in to talk with Carole about my class yesterday. It’s all good; I’ll just be taking a little longer. Carole was awesome, as usual. Discussed many of the same things as I did with Kathryn last week; this discussion was far lass abstract, though. Seems I have a better handle on how to possibly get the rest of my education restarted. I don’t necessarily have an “answer;” I have a path that may provide an answer. It feels ok.

It is odd, but I seem to be stitching together my recent past, present, and near future education into a (possibly) coherent vision. Probably the main reason the story couldn’t be constructed, much less told, was I needed to come to grips with how dichotomous it has all been and seemed, lately. I let Carole in on some of that oddness yesterday; but again, eight days later I have more of a plan.

She was great, and in advisor role, not professor. She knows me well enough to take a more long-term and growth-oriented perspective. I have been lucky to have people like Carole and Kathryn (and others) to talk to here at GSLIS.

In other news, I heard from Dr. Marcia Zeng yesterday that I am on the ASIS&T Standards Committee. Dr. Zeng is the incoming Chair of the committee.

Today I picked up a book I ordered via ILL to evaluate personally and as a possible recommendation for the LIS Library to purchase: Advance Topics in Information Technology Standards and Standardization Research, Vol. 1. / Kai Jakobs, ed., c2005. It looks like a current overview of (some) issues in standards and could be very helpful. I’ll have to have a look at the previous title, also: Information technology standards and standardization : a global perspective / Kai Jakobs, c2000.

This morning when I headed out of the house the day was just like a warm day in late November “should” be, that is, blustery, gray and overcast. It still is that way in mid-afternoon. Said cooling off is still scheduled for tomorrow morning. In fact, if it stays as currently forecast, I’ll be able to leave the window open tonight and close it when I get up tomorrow.

the Hermit

You are The Hermit

Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.

The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.

The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.

The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

Sounds about right to me.

If only I had gotten the same answer as Liz I might have some hope in the world. But then it might also mean I’d have to wait 30 years. Gah!

By the way, I’ve been posting a lot less quizzes lately because I’ve been getting such stupid answers that even I couldn’t make fun of them, or they were just stupid (for me) quizzes. In other words, they had questions that I just couldn’t/wouldn’t answer; things like “Would you do prefer A or B?” when I would not do either.

And why is that quiz writers appear to be so illiterate? Yes, I realize that one may have a fairly self-evident answer.

Smurf or ’70s Girl

Posted on by

I went to take a look the quiz Liz at LibraryTavern posted about yesterday, but I just wasn’t in the mood to display that I am supposedly 67% Seventies Girl. Oops!

But I did see the Smurf Name Generator and couldn’t resist. And once I had my new Smurf name firmly in my electronic grasp I certainly had to share. So apropos:

Your Smurf Name is

[Sorry about that, but the nutcases who coded the results made the text the same color as the background. With so many nested tables it took me a couple seconds to figure that out.]

[OK, this things was coded by a complete idiot!  I tried fix it up some, but it is not worth the effort.]

Reasonably accurate I guess, but based on just a few questions, some of which had no good answer for me. I assume I answered one question slightly different than Angel, since our scores are so close. But, that I expected.
