not cute

I have not been in pursuit of a boyfriend for a while now. I have too much else on my plate and have felt I need to focus on some changes in myself. Nonetheless, through facebook, an old friend from high school nudged me to become FB friends with someone who went to the Hisg School for Health Professions but whom I did not know. This person lives in San Francisco. I didn't think there was any harm in becoming friends online, so I added him. We chatted here and there on occassion. Nothing remarkable. Then he asked if I wanted to talk on the phone. Sure. So we did. And that conversation is what led to the post below about Enneagrams. Well, since then, things have gotten weird.

Here is what I don't like. If someone tells you that they think you are cute (as I said to him), don't say, "I know." That is so arrogant sounding! And on a few occassions this person said things like, "Well, we both know that you like me." Really? Well, not so much after that stunt he pulled when we had our one and only web chat. He got confused, apparently, and thought I was someone he met on adultfriendfinders. Look, I don't care how impressive your package is, that was not what I wanted to see. Shall I go on?

I am a Shark Scholar!

Congratulations, you are a Shark Scholar. You sit at the apex of shark knowledge! You’re likely the type of person that understands the connection between sustainable seafood and sharks. You are cautious of products that contain shark oil, cartilage or shark-derived squalene and you wouldn’t dare eat shark fin soup. Keep the ocean healthy by spreading your knowledge and share your wisdom with your friends. Take the Aquarium of the Pacific’s Shark Quiz to test your shark smarts.

I'm a Romantic

So, I have been reading a short book on Enneagrams that a friend lent me after reading my last post. Turns out, I am the romantic type, number 4. I am not the loyal skeptic, although I do have some of those traits. My sister reminded me that she introduced me to Enneagrams many, many years ago. My goodness, I wish I had looked into it. This whole approach is such a relief. It helps me to see that the way I am is simply the way I am, and not some pathology.
