Gacked from painless_j. This seems to be one of the more stunningly self-absorbed memes rolling around, but as I have a math test I'm not ready for tomorrow that will sink all hopes of my completing my degree by June, I'm feeling like I need some distraction.

1. For those who haven't seen me / a photo of me: (that leaves you out, EA ;)

What do I look like? How you imagine me? Tall or short? Fat or skinny? What colour and length is my hair? What colour are my eyes? Am I graceful or awkward?

2. How do you all see me? Am I:

*a leader or a follower
*quiet or talkative
*spontaneous or planned
*dominant or submissive
*logical or intuitive
*social or loner
*kinky or vanilla
*cute or sophisticated
*kitten or puppy
*warm flannel sheets or sleek satin
*helpfully adviceful or just nosy
*patient or anxious
*conventional or eccentric

Color me amused. I think this would probably be easy, except for the appearance part which I never mention.

Anything I can do to help with the math? After two years of teaching GMAT prep classes, I know some tricks.

You're one of the few people I know on-line whom I don't have a good picture of in my head. I'm not even going to try to guess what you look like.

*a leader
*a little of both (quiet or talkative)
*planned (but capable of improvising)
*dominant
*mostly intuitive, but logical, too
*loner
*vanilla
*sophisticated
*neither (kitten or puppy)
*warm flannel sheets
*helpfully adviceful
*patient
*conventional in some ways, eccentric in others

That sounds Great. I've post-poned my test till Monday, just because I realise I'm too stressed right now. My Y!M is icarusancalion whenever you have time (tomorrow? Thursday?).

Very wise. I rarely describe myself.

*a leader

The more I think about it, in the spectrum of things, yes, probably.

*a little of both (quiet or talkative)

Generally quite notoriously talkative, actually.

*planned (but capable of improvising)

Ah. I've had to learn to plan. Years of lists and 7 Habits of Highly Successful People and scheduling books. Now, sometimes I overdo it.

*dominant

Quite.

*mostly intuitive, but logical, too

You're right, yeah, dead on. (How do people figure these things out, anyway?)

*loner

I'd say so (notes crowbar friends used to use to get me away from the piano).

*vanilla

;) Quite kinky, actually. Though WG definitely wins the prize in the kinky category. What? You thought I made up all those cross-dressing stories?

*sophisticated

I've decided I'll go with sophisticated. It describes the conscious choices I've made, though I can't help being described as cute. Never send me a card with a cute picture on it, I may be sick.

*neither (kitten or puppy)

Oh, kitten. Piles of kittens, preferably.

*warm flannel sheets

Only the softest and the warmest.

*helpfully adviceful

Everyone's got this one right. No, I've never been nosy, and people do trust me.

*patient

With others, yes. Not so good with myself I admit.

*conventional in some ways, eccentric in others

You got it. I have a carefully constructed conventional facade, that somehow so many see right through. ;)

Not bad.

Y!M - Thursday, definitely. Today is a madhouse. My ID appears to be thalia1111, but I haven't used it in so long I'm going to have to get back in and see if it still works.

Can we pick a time so I can make sure I'm by the computer? I have absolutely nothing planned the whole day, thank any god who's listening.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Cool. I noticed you've added me to your friendslist (or whatever it's called in Y!M) and we can talk tomorrow. Um. I'm not sure about a time. I'll get back to you this afternoon. It depends on how much I get done today. ;)

Whenever is fine, just give me a few hours notice if you can. I need to brave the grocery store at some point tomorrow. *shudders*

Actually, my Y!M id might be darththalia. They're both me, anyway.
