The Dumbest Thing I've Seen All Week (And I just spent all day with high schoolers on their first day of school)

So on my way home I was behind a guy on a motorcycle talking on a cell phone. This is either not a feasible activity or else he was not very good at it because he kept kind of swaying back and forth. The kicker was that apparently he had been wearing a helmet but took it off to talk on the cell phone; he had it hanging from his elbow. Somehow, I think if you're on a motorcycle (which cars often ignore or don't see) and you're about to decrease both your coordination and concentration and take off the only thing keeping you from becoming a vegetable if you get hit by somebody, it's really better that you just pull off for a minute. (We were around all kinds of stores where he could have done just that.) That's my rant. Bye.

My Personality



I took a personality quiz yesterday. According to it, I'm an INFJ, which may or may not be the same as I've tested before. What do you think, does this describe me?

"INFJs, making up an estimated 1% of all people, are the most rare type (males even more so). They are introspective, caring, sensitive, gentle and complex people that strive for peace and derive satisfaction from helping others. INFJs are highly intuitive, empathetic and dedicated listeners. These traits tend to act as a "tell me what's wrong" sign on their forehead, hence the nicknames Confidant, Counselor or Empath. INFJs are intensely private and deeply committed to their beliefs."

Famous INFJ's include Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, Nicole Kidman, Mel Gibson (Yikes!), and Nelson Mandela.
