But it’s pretty weird, the full results page anyway… Conscious self Overall self Take Free Enneagram Personality Test I don’t know about these personality tests. I think human beings are addicted to finding out how they appear to other people, and sometimes even filling out a quiz is a way of finding out how you really appear to yourself, out of context. But it seems weird to use an automated quiz to do this. It’s quite strange. Hm.

The Rules of Bollywood
Well, during my pitiful convalescence here at Ritu and John’s house, I’ve passed a lot of time watching Bollywood movies. Khabi Khushi Khabi Gham, Nagina, and other movies the titles of which I forget. It’s very interesting for me to experience such an overwhelming flood of another culture’s imagination, values, ideals, and fears in one shot like that. Kind of addictive, too. I’m trying to piece together some rules to hold on to as I watch these films, of the sort that I hold on to (unconsciously, of course) when watching Hollywood movies… you know, the cop always needs to …
Hey Shawn!
If you do this to my apartment, you’re dead meat, Shawn. ;) But I know you wouldn’t… right? Right? Hahaha. Heh. Uh? Shawn? Well, thanks for the link, Adrienne…
Yeah, right…
Well, I’ve completely all of truly-dippy’s quizzes over at quizilla. Truly-dippy put together some really nice ones, and I am impressed. Can you tell I’m not up to thinking much, right now? Just kind of lazing about. Will write more soon, though, once some novel work is done. Now, on the the quizzes. My first reaction… Yeah, right: France ?? Which Country Are You From ?? brought to you by Quizilla Waterfall ?? Which Natural Wonder Or Disaster Are You ?? brought to you by Quizilla This is probably not true: You are Sloth! Lazy huh ?? You’re a bit …
I forgot to mention this:
During the last week I’ve been mainly getting bedrest, watching Hindi movies with Ritu (Bollywood, Bollywood, Bollywood!) and reading. I read two graphic novels (one very dark Batman, and Alan Moore’s V for Vendetta, which were very good. I’m almost finished Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Telling, which is also a good novel in many ways. The evenings have been nice, just relaxing and talking with Ritu and John, and Koko’s birthday yesterday was my first time for more than an hour in days (though now I’m healthy enough to almost be able to do it again), and quite eventuful. …
This Kind of Makes Sense and Kind of Doesn’t…
Aphrodite/Eros ?? Which Of The Greek Gods Are You ?? brought to you by Quizilla and this makes sense too: Wine ?? Which Alcoholic Drink Are You ?? brought to you by Quizilla …while this, I think I wanted, but I don’t really know… what do you think? You’re like a centaur! ?? Which Mythical Creature Are You ?? brought to you by Quizilla
Mystical Time Travel Adventures…
This week’s Friday Five question is courtesy of the ethereal Fionna: I’ve just finished reading a book about Arctic Exploration from the 1860s to 1926, and have started another one about the truth behind the myths about pirates. What both these books have in common is that I get to relive some of the adventure stories I used to love as a child, whilst still pretending I’m being all scholarly and grown up. So my Friday 5 question is: Given an unlimited budget, the ability to travel through space and time, and a guarantee that you would return in the …
Pics Will Come, But Not Now…
Sorry guys, Ritu’s modem plug thingie fits into my PC, but my PC has no drivers for her modem and won’t install, and she has no disc. So I suspect I won’t upload pics until I have my own connection up in Dharamsala. Anyway, it’ll have to wait. Just thought I’d let you know! Gord
What Color Am I?
Yeah, another quiz, I know… but… they’re addictive. you are seagreen#2E8B57 Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there’s a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days. Your saturation level is higher than average – You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don’t be afraid …
In Case…
In case the long list of quizzes I killed time on today distracted you, I did post a very longish trip-summary but you’ll need to scroll down the page to see it. I went quiz-crazy today, but I don’t want people to miss my update! Pics coming soon, I promise…
