So I'm Kes, apparently

From the Star Trek Personality Test

Myers-Briggs would say that you are an INFP (Introvert, Intuitive, Feeler, Perceiver). In Star Trek language, you share a basic personality configuration with Garak and Kes. Ok yeah - got the INFP right. Kes? Does that mean I'll live to be 7 years old, and then become, like, super mind-power girl? 'Cause I can live with that.

People like you are generally nonconforming, deeply passionate, and highly dedicated to your personal values. You're reserved, which covers a sensitive spirit easily hurt. You're highly imaginative and creative. You're curious and often study others quietly. You're flexible in small matters. You don't dance to other people's tunes, but you can pretend you do. You get what you want by talking, not screaming. Ringing true here. Like church bells after a service. (Not that I had those growing up, but you get the idea.)

You're loving and dedicated to people you care about, but you do not compromise your principles for them. Your sense of what is right comes first, even before yourself. You respond best to people who respect your privacy until you let them in, then provide you with emotional intimacy.

You're not the world's most tidy person. Ho boy. Yep. Things sort of start to pile up. I'm big on piles. I know where things are, but, um... So yes, housemates beware.

Your primary goal in life is to be true to your deeply held beliefs and to live in harmony with your values. Your reward is to have your ideas benefit others. Or, well, to see people smile. Sometimes that's just as good. I like seeing happy people.

Good careers for your type include being a psychologist, human resources professional, Cardassian spy, physical therapist, translator/interpreter, legal mediator, college professor of humanities, and art director.

Oh! Oh! I wanna be a spy! <g>

Mango Elephants

I have no idea what this sticky note means:

14 in Philly -
3 Oregon
1 couple
more women
far north
Mango Elephants in the Sun


Left for Paris Tuesday night

Absolutely no fucking clue.
But it's in my handwriting, so I must have known something, sometime.

haiku from the notebook

sunlight on the grass
my back warming - sun and heat
suspended in time

students, like snowflakes
peppered on sun-drenched lawn
how I love the view

silhouettes and clouds
if I squeeze my eyes tight shut
will it still be there?

Again: Avoidance

The Move is stressing me out. Friday night? Saturday morning? Both? Wah!

So. 5 survey questions, selected from Hakuin's journal:

Inside your apartment / house Ð do you wear shoes or go barefoot? Bare feet or socks, if it's cold. The Japanese got that right.

Do you finish books you don't like? Not anymore. I think I've outgrown the need to finish a book, no matter how bad. I'm more than willing to toss something if I think it's horrid.

Favorite childhood book? Where the Red Fern Grows I have two copies, though neither is the original I had as a child. The book was the first one to always, always put me in tears. It's a rare thing, and more precious because of that rarity.

Five celebrities (again, dead ones ok)? Dude, is this question tailored for puppy-lovers or what?

What's inside a girl? Honey and cinnamon with a dash of silver or gold. Sometimes there's fabric remnants - velvet and silk, and abalone, shells and all, and the manes of horses running in the wind. Other times starlight and moonbeams take residence, or the light filtered down through a tropical lagoon.

aaand, the usual : name three things to take with you on a really desert island? A machete, a leatherman and a spool of fishing line. I mean, what's the use of pen and paper if you're not alive to use them?
