How Compatible are You and Your Friends?

Which is reassuring after all the signs we’ve seen lately that seem to indicate we’re twins separated at birth. It was getting worryingly indicative of narcisism. Yesterday, for example, we had identical scores in the NMWL quiz – 12 out of 25 – though we didn’t have identical answers.* So, as Martin says: Thank goodness.

Addendum: Oh, dear. I knew I’d had a different result the last time I tried the Enneagram test, and I just found it in the archives. Have a look and compare.

Think you’re my long lost twin? Try this:
How Compatible are You with me? Unless you tell me not to, I’ll post any results I find interesting in the “more” section.

* The judges, by the way, remarked that they had compared our answers to check that we weren’t cheating, to which I replied that they obviously didn’t know us very well, we’re far too competitive to do anything like that (you should have seen us guarding our papers with our arms, sitting – for once – twisted away from each other).

An excellent quiz, with a slightly scary result.

Getting 83 right helps. A lot. Not quite enough to explain away my score, though.

Melissa poses some interesting questions on blogging this week:

How long do you plan to blog? Have you ever considered that? Is it something you plan to continue until you get bored? Or until you find something better to do? Or do you consider it to be a life long thing? What about your fellow bloggers? Your blogging friends… Do you think they plan to continue for the rest of their lives?

I was actually thinking about this just the other week, as I was realising that, yet again, it was days between each time I posted an entry and even longer between each I time posted something that was not an answer to a meme or a quiz result. I’ve never been able to keep up a journal for more than a couple of weeks whenever I’ve tried writing one on paper. This is one of the reasons I love blogging, the knowledge that someone out there might read the entries and actually check back to see if I’ve posted certainly motivates me more than the thought that “I might enjoy reading this some day” which has been the only real motive for journalling on paper.

In some form I’ve had a “blog” almost as long as I’ve had a webpage (getting to be close to ten years now), as I’ve always had a “what I’ve been reading lately” section. The blog-as-journal, though, is a relatively new thing for me, as you can see from the archives I started in April 2002.

Like Melissa I have a problem considering doing anything “for life”. Sooner or later I expect blogging will be something I used to do. On the other hand, blogging is a relatively new “thing”, and who knows, by the time I decide I’m bored with it, it might have become an outdated mode of communication anyway and we’ll all be caught up in a new fad (whether at the forefront of the movement or with all the inevitable hangers-on at the back).

For the foreseeable future, though, I’d like to keep doing this. I’m enjoying it, after all, or I wouldn’t have kept going past the initial couple of weeks. I suspect I’m going to continue as I’ve started – writing loads in periods and then nearly going mum at other times, but then any relationship (of the friendship-type) tends to be a bit like that – you see a lot of a certain person for a period and then for one reason or another you hardly see each other for weeks, months or years, and then you suddenly see each other quite often again and so on. At least my relationships tend to be like that.

I do occasionally remember to bring my camera out…

Tor Åge Bringsværd at Bok i Sentrum – reading from his new book on London which I am certainly getting.

I also uploaded another picture of my brother over at the gallery.

Martin has found the best blowing-off-some-steam page ever: Slap the Bastards. Whatever you fancy! Chose from, amongst others, Jamie Oliver, Bill Gates, Richard and Judy or Ian Duncan Smith, handily divided into three categories: Fuckwit celeb, fuckwit politician and total wanker. Or you can just start at the top and work your way through by clicking “Next”. And once you’ve finished slapping, try warping. If you’re still having a bad day after this, you will know for sure that it’s time to hibernate.

I know, I know. This is getting ridiculous. Sorry. I will stop doing these soon, I promise.

You have an entrancing kiss~ the kind that leaves
your partner bedazzled and maybe even feeling
he/she is dreaming. Quite effective; the kiss
that never lessens and always blows your
partner away like the first time.

What kind of kiss are you?

Well, when I came across a quiz about norse mythologi, I obviously had to give it a try…

You are Balder! His name means “The Glorious”. He was also called the “god of tears” and the “white as”. Balder, the son of Odin and Frigg, was described as a very handsome and wise god. Some consider him to be a god of light since he was so bright, light shined from him.
Balder’s wife was Nanna and they had a son named Forseti. Balder and Nanna lived in Breidablik [The Broad-Gleaming], where nothing unclean could be and there were “fewest baneful runes”.
Balder is loved and respected by everyone, he believes in justice and what’s right above everything else.

Another weekend gone by too quickly, despite turning the clocks back Sunday morning and gaining an extra hour.

My flat looks like it’s been bombed. Partly because I really, really need to do the washing up. Really. There’s just been better things to do lately. The other reason is that I now have a whisky cabinet. The little cupboard I used to keep the whisky in overflowed onto the floor months ago, and last week my employer was emptying out the offices they used to be at (before I joined the company), letting us take away what furniture we wanted for free, and I got three sections of cupboards to put on top of each other – the bottom one having doors of solid wood, the two top ones being glass-fronted.

Naturally, I had to put it up immediately. Unfortunately, the only way to make room for it was to take down one of the bookcases (the one that mostly held videos and photography paraphernalia). The bookcase, of course, can be flat-packed. The contents, however, cannot. So they’re all over the place.

I need time to sort it out, therefore, but to imagine that if the weekend had been longer I would have would be to kid myself. No doubt the extra time would have been spent the same way the rest of the weekend was – gallivanting about Bok i Sentrum, watching series 2 of MASH, zipping through the slides from Scotland and, well, smooching a lot – spending time with the boyfriend, in short. We celebrated 100 days on Friday. An interesting “anniversary”. I’m considering calculating when our 1000th day will be, it’s a pleasing sort of number and ought to be celebrated. Plenty of time to work that out, though.
