OK, I just found this personality test on sockpuppet's journal. Personality profile!

Ahem.

Well. I'm going to have to default to just_Eunice on this one. But I'm not terribly sure how accurate that bad boy is. Especially the part on conscientitousness since I'm known to be rather particular about fonts, spelling, and grammar at work. Hmmm.

Hello everyone. Please believe that despite my rather lackluster LJ involvement recently I think of you guys all the time. And I do read, I just utterly fail to comment... But the love is indeed here.

So last night my scarf from bandgeek arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so gorgeous y'all. I haven't taken it off yet. Well, OK, I didn't *technically* sleep in it ( Read more... )

So far the egg count is at 4 a piece. The Ladies were in a race earlier, I think, but they've pulled even with one another. Mom says it's really quiet in the house all day now, because they just hide out in their Sleepy Teepees, nesting away. Lena accepted some head scratches yesterday morning, but Doris wants nothing to do with me ( Read more... )

I've been spending a lot of time lately thinking about how much humans mimic. The rumination started as I was plowing at top speed through Queen of the South by Arturo Perez-Reverte and realized all of the sudden that my new favorite word was pinche, which is Spanish for something. Maybe I'll just go check that now... Oh yeaaaahhhh. It means bloody ( Read more... )

Tonight upon returning from work and greeting the ladies, I notice Lena is nestled in her little sleepy teepee *that way*. I can't get her to come out, so I sneak a finger inside and discover? 2 eggs! TWO! That means she's been brooding for about 3 days now. But since she's moved her nest into the sleepy teepee this time (instead of the cage floor ( Read more... )

In further developments, Doris has started coming on to me.

Warning -- long. I wish I remembered how to do that LJ cut text right. If you don't see more text below I figured it out...

( About 2 years ago I bought 2 lovebirds. )

Driving to work this morning I saw a bumper sticker that read "Remember Who You Wanted To Be".

Naturally I start trying to think if I ever wanted to be someone other than I am. Do I even know who I am, in the sense this question asks? And this started marinating in my brain along with the thoughts I'd been chasing earlier in my commute around how ( Read more... )

Right now I'm reading The Sunday Philosophy Club by Alexander McCall Smith. He's the guy who writes the #1 Ladies' Detective Agency series that takes place in Botswana. So far this one has been pretty good -- the main character is a late-thirties, early-forties single woman living in Scotland (Edinburgh). She's the editor of the Review of Applied ( Read more... )

I just read this and my entire outlook on life has improved. This is from Thomas Cahill's book Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter: In all, [ancient] Greek music probably sounded something like the late medieval music of Europe with its emphases on catchy, easily singable melodies, exaggerated rhythms, and humble instrumental ( Read more... )
