Wow, mine’s pretty accurate too …

Your Score: Independent Soul.

You scored -15 Extroversion, -9 Sensitivity, and 3 Openness!

You are calm and logical, but not unemotional. You are an introvert, at heart, preferring to read alone than be subjected to the crush and noise of a big party or bar. You have a few friends and family, whose presence you welcome - to a point. Even they can wear on your nerves eventually, and you need to retreat back into your personal space for a while so you can recharge. Your energy comes in bursts, after which you need a long nap or a couple of evenings at home to recuperate.

You are comfortable with yourself, and reasonably confident. You want the friendship and goodwill of others, but you are not willing to sacrifice your principles in order to get it. If your close friends need something that you can provide, however, you will be the first to offer it.

You are a good and sympathetic listener, and are aware of your friend’s emotional states. With your very close friends, you will open up, but rarely - you don’t like to burden people with your problems. At the same time, though, you are honest and are not willing to alter the truth for the sake of convenience. Among strangers you are reserved, and may resort to making jokes to disguise your true feelings.

While you are not afraid of conflict, you do not seek it, either. When you are hurt or insulted, you feel that you have a choice to make. You can choose to take the up on it and defend yourself, or you can let it pass. Your decision may depend on how well you know the person, how personally you take the insult, or simply what mood you are in that day. Your friends may not always know how you are going to react, for that reason. Whatever you reaction, though, you will be logical, rational and unnervingly accurate: a measured strike.

Your daemon’s form would represent your calm, introverted nature, your cool logic, and your impatience with crowds of people. He or she would probably whisper ironic comments in your ear, give logical advice and try to hide his or her soft side from everyone, even you.

Suggested forms:
Peregrine Falcon, Snowy Owl, Snow Leopard, Siberian Tiger.

(some of) Spring’s pet peeves

- hair in the soap
- people who bother me to inform me that I’m busy
- people who monitor their peers’ performance
- a cup with milk residue
- people who are constantly performing, trying to entertain whomever they are talking to
- people who don’t talk -to- an animal or child (or even grownup), instead talking -at- them to entertain others
- people who value their output over anyone else’s input
- people who look at one person while actually addressing another
- crumbs and spills
- getting my keys tangled
- people who try to mask their own shabby performance by trying to get other people to do poorly also
- unrotated portrait-mode photos
- feeling like I’m in someone’s way

The Twelve Tips for a Sober Holiday Season, courtesy theserooms_rss:

1. Line up extra Recovery activities for the holiday season. Arrange to take newcomers to meetings, answer the phones at a clubhouse or central office,or help line, speak, help with dishes, or visit the detox ward at a hospital.

2. Be host to Recovering friends, especially newcomers. If you don’t have a place where you can throw a formal party, take one person to a diner and spring for the coffee.

3. Keep your Recovery telephone list with you all the time. If a using or drinking urge or panic comes—postpone everything else until you’ve called someone in Recovery.

4. Find out about the special holiday parties, meetings, or other celebrations given by groups in your area, and go. If you’re timid, take someone newer than you are.

5. Skip any social occasion you are nervous about. Remember how clever you were at excuses when using or drinking? Now put the talent to good use. No office party is as important as saving your life.

6. If you have to go to a party and can’t take a Recovery friend with you, keep some candy handy.

7. Don’t think you have to stay late. Plan in advance an “important date” you have to keep.

8. Worship in your own way.

9. Don’t sit around brooding. Catch up on those books, museums, walks, and letters.

10. Don’t start now getting worked up about all those holiday temptations. Remember—”one day at a time.” And “Just for Today”

11. Enjoy the true spirit of holiday love and joy. Maybe you cannot give material gifts — but this year, you can give love.

12. “Having had a …” No need to spell out the Twelfth Step here, since you already know it.

If I can be of use to anyone, anytime, my number is 561-603-4522. I’ll keep that posted for a little while.

Here’s what I’m doing for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day …

Today:
now - 9:15 PM - working
5 PM - 6 PM - using my lunch break to attend evening service St. Andrews in Boca
10:30 PM - services at St. Andrews Lake Worth

Tomorrow:
early - big breakfast and gift openings
10 AM - services at St. Andrews Lake Worth
1:30 PM - 9:15 PM - working

Despite my vow from last year, I still don’t have any plans for New Year’s Eve, except that I have to work until a smidgen after 9 PM. I also have to work New Year’s Day, so it can’t be too late a night for me. I’m trying to think up something fun to do that won’t get anybody arrested. Any ideas?

From old stale notes once again …

“I love you like my brother.”
“I love you more like I love leaving a briefcase of bricks in a crowded subway station.”

Business idea:
Travel resources (website? magazine? both?) for noctournal people and others who eschew the sun. Places that have a lot of fun stuff to do between sunset and sunrise, or places that are cloudy a lot.

Last night I drove behind a car whose tags identified it as being from Yazoo County, Mississippi. I thought, “Wow, me too.”

I Am A: Chaotic Good Human Wizard (6th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength-11
Dexterity-11
Constitution-10
Intelligence-15
Wisdom-16
Charisma-13

Alignment:
Chaotic Good A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he’s kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit. However, chaotic good can be a dangerous alignment because it disrupts the order of society and punishes those who do well for themselves.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard’s strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.
