Monday is for narcissism.

So, zylch has a throwdown about personality testing this morning, and how it doesn't measure how you actually express yourself in the world, but how you perceive that you express yourself. Now, I may not agree with all of her premises, but the experiment she's got going on is interesting to me, so I'm asking you to play along over here, too. Here is a shortened version of an enneagram type indicator. Hop over there, if you would, and answer the questions not about what you think about yourself, but what you think about me. Then, score the test, and post here what type you got for me. (I'm pretty familiar with the instrument and its analysis, so you don't have to post the whole type description, just the number(s).) I'm screening these, too, since that seems like a good idea. Later, I'll post some analysis.

Thanks!

And also, a poll.

How's this for a nudge?

We were just talking about wildnsquirrelly the other day, and how nobody's heard from him in forever, and all that sort of thing. It's hard now to think about going to DragonCon without him, eh, so he better pop up sometime between now and then, or there will be sadness throughout the land.

The theory was also advanced that anyone, regardless of age, gender, usual sexual orientation, station in life, or any other consideration, would want to have sex with wildnsquirrelly. Thus far, no evidence to the contrary of this theory has presented itself. It's like a "reasonable person" test.

So then, a few further questions, asked largely in the hope of bringing him out of hiding...

Random photo post

I was talking to orcjohn the other day, and I promised him some pictures of me when I was young enough to be blonde. I thought this one was going to be one of those, but I'm misremembering and have some sort of a chestnut-colored wash in here. But I thought it would be fun to post anyway, because the other person in this picture is wildnsquirrelly. I think we're about 16 in this shot.
