Tri-Variable Personality Test

Your result for The Tri-Variable Personality Test (qualified psychologist) ... Test...

The Eccentric

You scored 55 Artist, 30 Philosopher, 15 Scientist!

You live in a world of vast abstraction and color. You are hardly interested in the mechanics of real life; you are preoccupied with the substance of existence (the story and narrative, the symbolism), and the form and shape which life itself takes. You mix the mystical with the rational, like St. Thomas Aquinas, you find inroads between the sublime and the tangible ... you might have a propensity to let yourself go, though, in different ways. Everyday chores and responsibilities are not high on your list of passions; neither is any kind of "daily ritual" most likely. Your ideal work involves something that combines a medium for self expression (such as writing), with the inherent rationality and inquisitiveness of your philosophical side. You are very youthful in your demeanor.

You are a true representative of modern culture and society; with its shifts toward new systems of spirituality which combine ancient mysticism with classic reason. You are not preoccupied with wealth most likely.

Examples of Eccentrics: Timothy Leary, Stanley Kubrick, Socrates.

Quotes from "Eccentrics": "I am a little unusual, a little different and very unique."

Friday to do list & health update

1) Call plumber about faulty heating zone and thermostat.

2) Shop for travel (airfare, hotel & car rental) for late January/early February trip to Jacksonville.

3) Start practicing Torah trope for 01/31/09.

4) Put candy near front door for trick or treaters.

5) Try to continue staying horizontal as much as possible for final two days on anti-biotic.

Regarding the last item, not fighting gravity has helped the antibiotic fight the infection. I've been in bed or on the couch, physically inactive (except for sex which resumed Monday--Thank God, I can be oversexed again), and I've lost weight despite feeding a voracious appetite, which must mean my body has been burning calories fighting bacteria. I've craved dairy products in general and cheese in particular, so my body probably needs extra protein. Saturday will be my final day on the anti-biotic; I'll see if I feel up to going to shul or whether I'm better off staying home and supine. On Monday I'll get a sonogram of my bladder & kidneys. I'll have to fill my bladder to the point where I'll need to pee and then hold it while they do the sonogram. What fun!

porn offer to students

@TristanTaormino just tweeted "I plan to give away free porn to [college] students who can name all parts of vulva & cock." 27 years ago when I taught English as a second language in an Israeli Jr. H.S. my students wanted to know the English slang words for male and female genitals. I offered to answer their question if they could tell me the clinically correct terms for the same words in Hebrew. I never had to pay up. It says something about the absence of sex education that they only knew the Hebrew slang words.
