One Guy's Distractions

High School

2007-04-13T21:24:00.000-06:00

All American Kid

Popular but not plastic. Athletic but not a jock. Smart but not a brain.

You were well rounded and well liked in high school.

Who Were You In High School?

There were only five questions, so I don't trust the result. I was a Punk in high school -- maybe that's All American now. I dunno. Well rounded and well liked I can see. Really, except for the punk thing, I'd say I was a "brain" or a "geek" even.

Only 59%

2007-02-24T21:35:00.000-06:00

You Are 41% Feminine, 59% Masculine

You are in touch with both your feminine and masculine sides.

You're sensitive at the right times, but you don't let your emotions overwhelm you.

You're not a eunuch, just the best of both genders.

Are You Masculine or Feminine?

I guess being over 50% is a good sign. Is androgyny the new black?

Arty Thursday

Arty Kid

Whether you were a drama freak or an emo poet, you definitely were expressive and unique.

You're probably a little less weird these days - but even more talented!

Who Were You In High School?

I guess I'm a "little less weird" now -- I no longer have a Mohawk anyway.

Don't forget it's Half-Nekkid Thursday! Visit my primary blog to see my (arty) HNT post.

Love Jung's Way

2007-02-20T08:47:00.000-06:00

Your Love Type: INFP

The Idealist

In love, you crave a long term, harmonious relationship.

For you, sex doesn't come quickly - it takes time for you to open up.

Overall, you are supportive, nurturing, and expressive.

However, you tend to be shy and protective of your personal space.

Best matches: ENFJ and ESFJ

What's Your Love Type?

This is a little strange. Whenever I've taken a Myers Briggs personality test, I end up being INTP. On this love quiz, I ended up INFP instead. I wonder if this means that for matters of the heart, I'm more "feeling" than "thinking".

One Cyborg Guy

Get Your Cyborg Name

OK, a second post today. I kind of liked this one, so I had to put it up.

My Sex Appeal

2007-02-18T22:07:00.000-06:00

You Are 72% Sexy

Your Sex Appeal Is: Extremely High

You're very sexy. You just have that certain something that takes over a room.
You know how to attract, entice, and keep whoever you want. You are truly appealing.

How Much Sex Appeal Do You Have?

Nice... My sex appeal is extremely high and I'm very sexy. Go figure, huh?

Trippy

2007-02-08T15:09:00.000-06:00

I think L.S.D. would have been my guess before I took the quiz, so I suppose I've been vindicated... or something.

Your Personality Is Like Acid

A bit wacky, you're very difficult to predict.

One moment you're in your own little happy universe...

And the next, you're on a bad trip to your own personal hell!

What Drug Is Your Personality Like?

Melt in Your Mouth

2007-01-17T21:09:00.000-06:00

I didn't particularly care for my choices of hair -- or facial hair, for that matter -- but here's a representation of One M&M.

I must give credit where credit is due -- TerraPreata turned me on to the M&M Character Creator.

A Satanic Atheist?

2007-01-14T09:21:00.000-06:00

You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.

Not too sure here... I would have thought "atheism" would be on top. If you don't believe in anything, how can it not be? I'm sensing a bit of a bias in the quiz. I haven't done the research the explanation suggests. however.

Happy New Year

2006-12-31T13:16:00.000-06:00

I thought this quiz was somehow appropriate for New Year's Eve.

Please be happy and safe. Enjoy yourself and others!

Happy New Year!

More eXlinks Information

2006-12-24T08:22:00.000-06:00

When I read the December Newsletter from Blog Mad I found that it contains the following information on the much awaited eXlinks:

We know that you have been hearing eXlinks eXlinks eXlinks for a while now and we’ve been pretty quiet about, except for the overzealous user who managed to take a few screenshots of a private area, but the low down is this: eXlinks means exponential linking. The way we have structured the site and the function is that its going to work on who you refer. The more people you refer, the more incoming links you will get and we all know that incoming links is king! It’s structured in such a way that you will have blogs and sites that link to other people that link to you. It’s the best thing since sliced cheese and we are almost ready to release a working alpha version. In the meantime, get busy and start referring your friends and fellow bloggers. The reason we kept it as a separate site is so that we can allow general sites and forums to get in on the action too so you get incoming links from any web presence and not just blogs. Diversity is where it’s at! Go visit the eXlinks website and get the referrer images and banners.

So, if you have a website, even if it's not a blog, go sign up for eXlinks!

Holy Kama Sutra!

2006-12-09T14:13:00.000-06:00

Wow! I gotta say I like the result. I was just thinking a month or two ago about looking into Tantra... it just seems like it's probably too "spiritual" for my taste. I think overall the description kind of fits, but gives me a little too much credit in the "master" or "guru" arena.

68% Socialist??

2006-12-09T13:04:00.000-06:00

You Are 32% Capitalist, 68% Socialist

You tend to be quite wary of businesses, especially big business.

While you know that corporations have their place, you tend to support small, locally owned shops.

As far as the rich go, you think they're usually corrupt and immoral.

Are You a Socialist or Capitalist?

I don't know if I agree with those percentages at all. The truth is, I think both systems are crap. I agree with the description pretty well, though.

Dante's Inferno

2006-12-02T22:53:00.000-06:00

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Moderate
Level 2 (Lustful)	Extreme
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	Moderate
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	Very Low
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	Very High
Level 7 (Violent)	High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	Moderate

Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test

This makes sense to me, I suppose. The only one I didn't agree with so much was the High rating for Level 7 - Violence. I guess that was so high because suicides are depicted on that level.

What Accent?

2006-12-01T09:15:00.000-06:00

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Inland North You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

I do think I speak pretty standard English, but I actually call carbonated drinks "soda pop" to avoid confusion.

Introduction

2006-12-01T08:52:00.000-06:00

While surfing around the blogosphere, primarily on BlogMad (and by the way, have you signed up for eXlinks yet?), I discovered that a number of the blogs I liked wouldn't allow comments unless you had a Blogger account. So here I am.

I actually have a "real" blog, One Guy's Thoughts, that's hosted on Wordpress.

I've been writing there since August of 2006. I write about the things that are most important to me -- my thoughts (of course), feelings and ideas; my philosophy and ideology; my relationship with my partner, One Girl; my hopes for our future and more. I can get pretty heavy sometimes, but by all means check it out.

Oh yeah, I also do HNT (Half-Nekkid Thursday) there.

I like Wordpress a lot, so I don't plan on switching over to Blogger for that stuff. However, it's somewhat limiting in that I can't post anything with script tags of div tags. That means that a lot of the ubiquitous polls and surveys just don't work on my main site. So, I've decided to use this site for my "Distractions".

I might also add some other light content as time goes by -- short or funny stories, photographs, quick observations, whatever.
