should i stay or should i go now

Well, I'm back. I took a hiatus from Blogger for awhile, mostly because I felt that it was helping me to relive all of my old fears and insecurities without actually doing anything about them. So, the old posts are all gone, to be replaced with...well, that's really the question, isn't it? Where do I go next? What is in store for me?

That doesn't matter now, however. What matters is that I am having a lovely summer living with Walter and seeing my friends on a very regular basis. I had people over for cake and 'Eurotrip' last Friday, and many of the same people came over last night to have cake and watch 'The Bourne Identity' in commemoration of the 20 July 1944 failed assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler. Perhaps 'The Bourne Identity' does not seem to be an adequate commemoration, but about ten people showed up, so they clearly thought it was at least somewhat worthwhile. Living with Walter is nice, and I will be v. sad to see him go to Scotland in September. We have a lovely little setup going, which mostly involves getting up early and watching the Tour de France together before going to work. I've also seen Claude a great deal, and Ritu and Connie, and Zach and Maggie, and so life is good. Now, if only Adit would come back from the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, it would be very similar to last summer...

I shall endeavor to write more frequently, as Joanna was forced to break down and IM me at work today to see if I remained alive despite my blog silence and my complete absence from my personal IM screenname. I would *hate* to inconvenience anyone by forcing them to email me :) So, look forward to at least semi-regular blog posts in the future.In closing, I leave you with the truly scary results of a personality test that I took (URL stolen from Curt: http://hokev.brinkster.net/quiz/default.asp?quiz=Better+Personality&page=1

My result:

You are an SEDL--Sober Emotional Destructive Leader. This makes you a dictator. You prefer to control situations, and lack of control makes you physically sick. You feel you have responsibility for everyone's welfare, and that you will be blamed when things go wrong. Things do go wrong, and you take it harder than you should.

You rely on the validation and support of others, but you have a secret distrust for people and distaste for their habits and weaknesses that make you keep your distance from them. This makes you very difficult to be with romantically. Still, a level-headed peacemaker can keep you balanced.

Despite your fierce temper and general hot-bloodedness, you have a soft spot for animals and a surprising passion for the arts. Sometimes you would almost rather live by your wits in the wilderness somewhere, if you could bring your books and your sketchbook.

You also have a strange, undeniable sexiness to you. You may go insane.

Uh, can I just say that that is extremely weird and awkwardly close to true? I hate when they're right!
