I should go to bed. I've got Twitchy Eyelid Syndrome.
I've read up on it. Its a real problem. Apparently
stress and lack of sleep can cause it. Essentally my
upper left eyelid starts twitching subtle for no
reason. Well I mean I just gave the reason. And its one
of those things that when the stress is gone, or get
more sleep, it just goes away. You would have to look
really close and carefully to see it. When I look in
the mirror to find it I can barely tell. But it
happens.
I was soaking wet an hour after I started my day.
Biking to work in the rain was not smart. Not that it
was raining when I left on my bike. Just a minute into
it. And the whole way. And I got a flat tire. So I
changed my bike tire in the rain. Ever had to wear wet
shoes all day long. It sucks. Thankfully I had clean
dry clothes packed. But still. All day. Soaking wet.
Time for sleep.

I took the Helen Fisher romantic chemistry and
personality test. Apparently it has been on all sorts
of shows lately or last year or something. But out of
four personalities I came out as an Explorer /
Director. You get a primary and secondary personality.
This is what it says about me.
Personality:
You
are very curious and you love adventure, either or both
intellectual and physical. So when you get interested
in something, you can become extremely focused on it,
sometimes to the exclusion of all around you. You
pursue your interests thoroughly, too, often with
originality and exactitude.
You are adaptable, competitive and a problem-solver, as
well as skeptical, tough minded and determined. Because
you have a lot of energy and tend to be enthusiastic
about your theories and projects, you can be very
persuasive. You are eager to make an impact on those
around you, too, as well as in the wider world.
You are irreverent and highly independent. So you can
be oblivious to authority figures, as well as to rules,
schedules and social customs. And although you enjoy
people and can be charming and humorous, you are not
interested in routine social engagements or anyone whom
you regard as boring. Instead, you seek stimulating and
focused conversations; and you are comfortable being by
yourself, pursuing your own many interests.
Love and Relationships:
As
an Explorer, you look out not in; you are foremost
interested in the world around you. So you are
attracted to a mate who is also intellectually and
physically adventurous and interested in dissecting
this complex, tangible universe. You particularly like
imaginative and theoretical people, a "mind mate." And
you like a partner who is sexual, because you regard
sex as an important aspect of a relationship. You have
nerves of steel and thrive on the edge. You are also
decisive and direct. So you are unconsciously drawn to
those who can balance out your highly independent and
tough-minded spirit--those who are novelty seeking, yet
compassionate, verbal, intuitive, trusting, flexible
and emotionally expressive.
Relating to Others:
You
like to have good conversations on important topics; so
people tend to admire you for your knowledge and
innovativeness. You shy away from emotional or
self-revealing conversations, however; introspection
leaves you cold. Instead, you derive intimacy from
doing things with friends or a partner. So you make an
exciting, although at times aloof, companion.
Things to Be Aware of:
- You
can be highly emotionally contained, even pretending
that you are fine when you are in deep psychological
or physical pain.
- You
become impatient with cautious people or wordy
conversations.
- You
can become so wrapped up in your own interests that
you spend too little time with your
partner.
You are attracted to:
- You
tend to naturally gravitate to
EXPLORER/negotiators.
Funny thing. Jenna took the test (she's the one
who told me about it.) She's a Negotiator / Explorer.
Fun to do. Not too far off my personality.
