The Return of the Ring

cornerofmadnessMy claddagh is back. As I was hoping, it was hidden deep in my purse so thank god that's where it fell off. I'm so HAPPY not to have lost it forever. Will go put it back where it belongs.
Today was Asshole day.
One of my asshole neighbors shoved his truck between my car and another, a space I wouldn't have tried to put a Bug into. The one car could not possibly open his door and the truck could NOT open his without bashing me. I took a picture. If there's damage, he's so paying for it (I didn't really see any). Then at the laundromat, this woman and an old man nearly knock me over racing around me to get to the two driers left on the upper row. As if they didn't somehow see me trying to use them.

sonjajade had up a really cool FMA personality test with a link to a real one. Things have shifted. I used to be Scar but now I'm Hohenheim.
“Philosophers,” “architects,” “dreamy professors”… These epithets are most often used to describe the INTP personality type. Forming around 3% of the population, INTPs love theories and believe that everything can be analyzed and improved. They are not that concerned with the real world and practical things; from the INTP’s perspective, it is often less exciting than ideas and intellectual pursuits. People with this personality type have no difficulties noticing patterns where others cannot, which makes them brilliant theorists and analysts.
Accumulated knowledge is the most valued asset of any INTP. Imagine an immensely complicated clockwork that is constantly absorbing, processing and generating all kinds of theories—this is how the INTP mind works. People with the INTP personality type possess the most logically precise mind of all personality types. They can easily notice even the tiniest discrepancies between two statements, no matter how much time has passed in between. It is a bad idea to lie to an INTP. They may appear dreamy sometimes, but this is not because their mind is resting—quite the opposite.
Albert Einstein INTPINTPs are enthusiastic and impartial when it comes to dealing with problems; they drill through the details and then develop a unique approach and ultimately a viable solution. INTPs are usually very intelligent and insightful people, able to remain unbiased in any situation. They absolutely love new ideas and theories and would never miss an opportunity to discuss them with other people. However, this never-ending thinking process also makes them look somewhat pensive and detached as INTPs are perfectly able to conduct full-fledged debates in their own heads.
People with this personality type may also find it quite difficult to explain their thoughts to others, even when it becomes obvious that their theories are not easily graspable. INTPs may also move on to another topic before their coworkers or partners have figured out what the INTP wanted to say.
INTPs cannot stand routine work; they would much rather tackle a difficult theoretical problem. INTP personalities really have no limits when it comes to theoretical riddles. If there is no easy solution and the topic is interesting enough, an INTP can spend ages trying to come up with a solution.
INTP personalities are usually very shy and reluctant when it comes to meeting other people. However, INTPs can also be very friendly and confident when they interact with people they know well or talk about things that interest them. INTPs are flexible and relaxed in nearly all situations, except when their beliefs or logical conclusions are being criticized. In those cases, the INTP is likely to become very defensive and argue tirelessly.
Sharing many personality traits with other Thinking (T) types, INTPs do not really understand or value decisions based on feelings or subjective opinions. In their opinion, the only good solution is the logical solution—INTPs do not see a point in using emotional arguments. Such an approach preserves the “sanctity” of their intellectual method; however, this also makes it difficult for INTP personalities to understand other people’s feelings or satisfy their emotional needs.
Individuals with the INTP personality type are likely to be very open-minded and even eccentric. These traits, combined with their capacity for inventiveness and original thought, make up a very powerful mix. It is not surprising that INTPs are responsible for many scientific discoveries. An INTP is unlikely to care much about social expectations and the “usual” goals such as job security; however, they will do their best to find an environment where their creative genius and potential can be expressed.
One of the few bottlenecks that INTPs impose upon themselves is their restless fear of possible failure. No other personality type worries that much about missing a piece of the mental puzzle or overlooking some crucial fact that might lead to a better solution. Unlike their more confident INTJ or ENTJ cousins, INTPs could spend ages reflecting on their actions. Even when an INTP is arguing with someone, this should be taken with a grain of salt—they might as well be arguing with their own mind.
Some famous INTPs:
Socrates, philosopher
Rene Descartes, philosopher
Blaise Pascal, mathematician and philosopher
Isaac Newton, physicist
Carl Jung, psychologist
Albert Einstein, physicist
James Madison, former U.S. president
Dwight D. Eisenhower, former U.S. president
And to add to my aggravation quota I went house hunting.
On the outer edges of my distance traveled, My own pond I DO like this one...a lot but the hard small fenced boundaries aren't pleasing. This is a desirable area though.
This one is closer to a desirable price range and distance. However MINT!!! WTF?
This one is a very nice house with a raised garden I'd kill for but it's definitely on the outer limits of budget and distance and Um what’s up with this barn Seriously, it seems to have a huge electrical panel and yet it looks like I should burn it.
OOOOOOR I can go halfway between Athens and work along the river in the dying river towns (maybe they'll have a revival...or maybe I'll be mayor in 5 years...)
a pool! THis is a ton of property and house for the price. I'm not really sure I want to deal with a pool but man I would love the exercise.
a tad too in-town In fact there is something downright European about this one. My father thinks I'm utterly incapable of dealing with a yard (I disagree, I'm capable, the issue lays in my laziness). It has my coveted Koi Pond but my garden would all be in containers because the whole yard is BRICK. I love the tiny red and avocado kitchen. I don't know why. I Will die on that staircase though.
and let’s not forget this one I still love it. I showed it to dad over break and he said 'you will go right out the window on the staircase. I have no doubt of it' (second to last pic). Sadly he's probably right.
and whatever house I buy this is going in it
ELD sent me this and it needs sharing. Yes I know it's not really Kevin doing the heavily athletic stuff but he's still adorable.
And if you want to know yes my sugar is STILL nearly 400. Bite me, body
declutter day 217 item tossed- In death book why kept- Wanted to read why tossed -Read it, time to move it on

thanks. Honestly it's getting more and more ridiculous on the house hunt, especially with my enthusiasm waning due to issues at the college
