Five
Primary Intelligence: Mental
Coping Style: Competency
Social Style: Withdrawn
Hierarchical Style: Control

Seeking control over their lives, Fives seek to increase their competency by withdrawing into their minds to gain knowledge. Fives tend to live in the mental world of ideas rather than in the outside world. They are good at creating systems, but their need to be in control makes it difficult for them to work within systems. They tend to work better outside the system than within it. At their best, Fives understand things more deeply than other people and advance science and human knowledge by sharing their insights.

Now then. I think that the situation is an unfortunate one, but really… how many times does this have to happen?

If you post something to the net, odds are very good that someone will be able to read it. If there’s something you want to keep a secret but kept in your journal, I recommend you post it private, so you can keep it, and nobody else spreads it around. I imagine 99.9% of folks out there won’t repeat it, but stuff can come out a number of ways, especially when you don’t know who your friends are out here. if you want particular friends to see it, put it out using a filter (that’s how I put love letters out in my lj for my sweetums). Going friends-only isn’t going to help, unless you firmly know the nature of each and every person on your list, and what the cache on their computer looks like, and if you know that their (and your) account is hack proof. (it Isn’t)

Expect that if you write something that someone else can read, that they might tell some other person, cut and paste, or reiterate it in some other way. (I make a point of not passing on private information, and had to jump through hoops to clear my name. I still bet that there are folks ‘outside the know’ that think I’m untrustworthy…anyone who actually knows me can attest that I’m good that way.)

On a slightly different note, A lot of Lj’s have been smelling like high school cliques. Those guys are free to post whatever they like, but I don’t have to read them. I recommend that anyone who doesn’t like what they’re reading in someone else’s journal to stop reading it, step away from the fight, if you can. What does the opinion of an idiot mean to you? I’m very impressed at how Mateo recently dealt with some dolts… Live and let live. He came out looking like a gent and a scholar, while others looked like classless jerks. That’s the way to handle folks… don’t stoop to their level if you can help it.

is my current read. Amazing.

Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb by Richard Rhodes. book, non-fiction, physics, politics, espionage, Cold War, highly recommended. more later about it.

(not really sexual, before those feelings showed up.)

Cathy Lee Crosby (That’s Incredible!)
Sarah Purcell (Real People)
Vicki Lawrence (From the Carol Burnett Show)
Yvonne Craig (Batgirl from Batman and Robin)

oh, and –

Mary Anne from Gilligan’s Island. (ginger was a ‘ho)

bibelot BEE-buh-loh, noun:
A small decorative object without practical utility; a trinket.

Bibelot is from French, from Old French beubelot, beubelet, “a small jewel, a trinket,” from a reduplication of bel, “beautiful,” from Latin bellus, “pretty, handsome.” It is related to bauble.

albedo al-BEE-doh, noun:

1. The fraction of light reflected from a body or surface.
For example, earth’s albedo is around 0.39.

2. The white, spongy inner lining of a citrus fruit rind.

[From Late Latin albedo, whiteness, from Latin albus, white.]

Some of the most interesting, unusual words describe everyday things. Who would have thought that this fleshy, spongy, white thing inside an orange had a word for itself… and that it would share it with astronomers? Or that it would have the same ancestor as the words for an egg part, a photo book, or smearing of a canvas? What all these words have in common is whiteness or albus, Latin for white. Albumen is egg white, an album is a book with white pages, and when we daub a sheet of paper, we de-albus it.

Has anyone actually seen Clutch? http://us.imdb.com/Title?0159364

very bizarre…

This Canadian movie is about an occult loser thief who nabs a magic book for his murderous patron. During the heist he kills the owner and leaves the body with his uptight brother and his internet-porn addicted roomie. On the way to make the delivery, his car breaks down and he has to get help from a female mechanic with lots of baggage. Lots of weirdness ensues, especially when people start reading the Book.

Paradoxes:
A Bibliophile who refuses to read.
A Mechanic who refuses to ride inside cars (this becomes a problem for her kidnappers when they are forced to drive slowly while she walks outside the car).

Cameo:
Tom Green as The Computer Gimp(!) who throws a fit when someone dares bring a book into his cybercafe.

Things that happen just as folks who play an RPG would try to do them:
Attempt made to hide a corpse by blowing it up with dynamite on a beach
Tazering a Priest when caught in the apparent act of necrophilia
Using a Prince song for a eulogy at Skinhead funeral service

Computer Status update. Got my machine back, minus both the video cards.

Astley’s going to bring the cards down tonight, after he gets back from church. (expected about 8:30)

Let’s see how it goes.

Is catbert Orange?

Hmm.. I know I’m forgetting someone. probably a lot.

Astley’s wife called (the big lazy wuss-boy couldn’t do it himself) and she said that *she* will be bringing the machine by in the next hour.

I wonder if he’s that busy, or that much of a coward to be sending his wife in his place. (I imagine he knows I won’t lecture her or even growl at her… she’s not the one who let me down.) I hope that the machine will be up to par, but I imagine not. Possibly that’s why he sent his wife too, so she can bug out before I can test it and she won’t know/have any of my money.

I’ll know in the next little while… at least she’s reliable, timewise.

I’m trying hard to think of something positive to say about Astley, to balance out my recent numeration of his defects…

hmm… nothing good comes to mind about his business practices save for that he serves as a good example of ‘what not to do’…

He is a nice guy, laid back, and loves his kids. Those are all good traits. 🙂

Oh my gosh.

I just realized I know all the words to Dolly Parton’s ‘9-to-5’ song.

Couldn’t I put those brain cells to better use?
