My Addiction

I am completely addicted to silly personality quizzes. I joined a dating site a few months ago to get full access to their "10,000+ User Tests" - and I'm enjoying it immensely. Besides, as several of my friends have pointed out, it's been a while between slow dances.

My favorite quiz sites are:
1. OkCupid (www.okcupid.com)
The dating site with thousands of tests. And a lot of very interesting people. The place where I discovered that I can tell real breasts from fake 19 times out of 20. Check out my profile. (http://www.okcupid.com/profile?tuid=16846388698552078202)

2. Tickle (web.tickle.com)
The first place I found to take user tests. I've been on there for a couple of years, and have taken some fun tests, and the occasional thought-provoking one. If I remember correctly, you do have to join to take the tests :( and there are options to spend money on more elaborate results, but I've been content with the free stuff.

3. Sarcasmo's Corner
http://www.sarcasmoscorner.com/
Not strictly a quiz site, Sarcasmo is another blogger who loves quizzes, and usually links to a new one every Monday.

4. Quizilla (quizilla.com)
Lots of cool quizzes, not so fond of the organization...

Danger: Rambles Ahead

I find myself spending hours on line chasing link after link on a topic that caught my interest. Tonight was no different, I've been on-line since 9 pm and am just now posting something to my blog. Most of the surfing I did tonight was for a couple graphics... and I saved dozens, but always want to improve them before using them. I have been procrastinating on posting, 'cause I'm still dithering about what I want to do with it. Today, I decided to use the new camera and take pictures of my screen prints on fabric to post, then discovered that the prints were terribly wrinkled, so I went to my mom's house to borrow her iron & board (I never iron my clothes, so don't have my own; mom is a seamstress & crafter...) then discovered it was my niece's last choir performance for the semester tonight, so went to that... Clearly, it's not just when I'm surfing that I wander without a plan :)

I've lived in Indiana all my life. I have a bachelor's degree in fine art. I'm a book lover, and I like movies, but I don't watch any cable tv. (I do miss CSI, tho) I completely avoid the news whenever possible. I have studied palm reading, virus hunting, urban legends, alternative medicine, and the role of the cat in mythology.
I answer questions better than I volunteer information. I have a tendency to get all wrapped up in things and become antisocial. I am insatiably curious about dozens of things. I had six minors in college. I love to chase facts and information about topics that catch my imagination.
I would love to go to Europe, Egypt, Greece, and Australia. Over the past few months, I've been hearing great things about New Zealand. I fantasize about living in the south of Italy as an expatriate american writer.
I think Tom Robbins was right when he said "Smell is 80% of love". I tend to quote a lot.

No pressure, but it's your first post...

"In order to act, you must be somewhat insane. A reasonably sensible man is satisfied with thinking." - William Dement
So, I created this blog, I'm learning how to use my new Canon Rebel XT, and I'm trying to learn digital darkroom procedures. I've always worked better when I had to show the results to someone...
