There was no doubt about this!
I’m a “Type One” - The Reformer
The principled, idealistic type. Ones are conscientious and
ethical, with a strong sense of right and wrong. They are teachers, crusaders,
and advocates for change: always striving to improve things, but afraid of
making a mistake. Well-organized, orderly, and fastidious, they try to maintain
high standards, but can slip into being critical and perfectionistic. They
typically have problems with resentment and impatience. At their Best: wise,
discerning, realistic, and noble. Can be morally heroic..
Unlike some tests that are just for fun, the Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator
(RHETI) was developed by professionals as a diagnostic tool. The
mini test is free; check it out! At the very least it will have you thinking
critically about your feelings, and the way others see you. (Am I really
critical and impatient?)
Strange, in a ‘groovy’ way
Psychedelic
Republican Trading Cards, via BuzzFlash.
Yes, you read that right. I never thought I’d see ‘psychedelic’
used to describe Republicans! These cards are hysterical!
Compelling truth or good fiction?
On March 2, 2003 at 4:12 pm, I disappeared. My name is isabella v. I'm twentysomething
and I am an international fugitive. My name is isabella v. But it isn't. I've
been careful up to now. Careful to leave few clues or to obscure them if I
did leave them, to mix them with something else and make them unreadable.
The first two weeks, the hardest, are over. I feel mostly safe. As safe as
I can feel. There is still, of course, a constant "over the shoulder"
paranoia to all this. The fear that I'm giving something away when I talk
to a realtor. A clerk. An airline ticket agent. I doubt I will ever really
be free of that.
So begins the weblog
of ‘Isabella V.’ who claims to be a wealthy young woman who went
into hiding in early March to avoid an arranged marriage. There is a lot of
speculation on the internet as to whether this is a true or fabricated story.
The bottom line is, I don’t care....it’s an interesting, engrossing
read! Check it out and come to your own conclusions. The Agonist however, seems
convinced that she is real, even posting about her family’s efforts
to locate her (or maybe they are in blogging league together!)
Good to hear from him
Salon Pax (DearRaed) is alive and well inside Iraq!
Things are looking kind of OK, these days. Life has a way of moving on. Your
senses are numbed, things stop shocking you. If there is one thing you should
believe in, it is that life will find a way to push on, humans are adaptable,
that is the only way to explain how such a foolish species has kept itself
on this planet without wiping itself out.....And I also confess that I am
going thru massive internet withdrawal symptoms.
He sent a Word document to Diana of 15 entries dating back to Jan 5th for her
to post on his blog.
It is so good to hear from him! I’m glad that he documented the days during
the war. It is a very engrossing read!
