Under the heading of Too. Damn. Useful.

Of course, it may be a little more upfront advertising that many of us here are comfortable with. But think of how much time you could save at a singles mixer...

and on that note:

You Are A Romantic Realist

You are more romantic than 40% of the population. You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance. Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know. And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball... But you'd never admit it to your friends!

Are You Romantic or Realistic?

Hrm. Only, I could have answered yes to either option on a lot of those questions, so... I hate quizes.


Otherwise, my big accomplishment today so far as been to drink tea and chew on a baguette. Soup may occur at some point in the future, if I can talk the cats into making it for me. No so much sick as just out of charity with my operating system.

Revisions continue, nonetheless, and the copyedit has arrived and is waiting its turn on my desk. The kittens are being cute on the sofa next to me while I work. They're playing a weird form of 'slap,' where one of them will reach out a paw and wait, then when the other reaches out a paw to touch, they see who can slap at the other and pull back first.

All very gentle, no claws, no hissing... just open-paw slapping.

And they're both half-asleep, eyes slitted, which makes it even more cute.

It also makes me want to take a nap. Okay, at this point, everything makes me want to take a nap.

And yet another surprise...not.


You are The Mad Hatter


One thing is for sure- you're as mad as a hatter.
You have an obsession with time and if tea time
were to ever cease, you would probably be even
more confused.

I, of course, was the Cheshire Cat.

"A huge grin constantly plastered upon your face, you never cease to amuse. You are completely confusing and contradictory to most everyone."


My work here is done.

Hah. The buttons make me think of Lois McMaster Bujold and Beta Colony, where everyone wears earrings announcing their sexual orientation and relationship status. (A little more complicated on Beta since there are three sexes: male, female and hermaphrodite.)

Easier here on Earth to get people to look at your chest than your ears, I guess...

Those buttons are too clinical and utilitarian. Instead of "Poly - Available - Straight," why not a button that says, "Don't Ask Me About My Wife"? And instead of "Monogamous - Involved - Straight," how about "Why Am I Here?"

I saw a button recently I liked:

Poly - Bi - Switch

I'm not Indecisive, I'm *greedy*!
