'The Poe Shadow (I expect to finish this one tonight) The Man Who Loved Books Too Much The Metaphysical Club|||I was always taking things apart to see how they worked.

I would also try to build things from the parts of the toys/appliances/etc....|||I only need three words:   -Books -Booze -Black T-shirts  Well, I guess that's four technically...|||Don't hug me even if we are related - close friends or women I'm interested in are acceptable.  I've had to warn two people I work with about the dangers of coming up behind me and touching me.  It...|||Oh, don't get me started on either one of those.  I do tend to open/hold doors for women out of ingrained Southern habit.  I don't expect them to be impressed and I certainly don't think they owe me...|||What social rituals do the rest of you introverts hate?  I hate the So, what did you do this weekend? line of questioning that comes every Monday morning.  I don't care what you did this weekend,...|||I'm a clinical researcher, which is great because it's a mix of hard science and humanistic interpretation.  I also teach a couple of anthropology classes at a local community college.  I enjoy...|||I find the same thing quite often.  In most cases, I will remind people not to confuse education with intelligence.  I may know quite a  bit about social theory or some obscure historical fact, but I...|||I'm an INTP. Your Aspie score: 134 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 93 of 200 You are very likely an Aspie|||I love it! The problem I have with these new atheists is that they attack the possibility of something beyond this mortal coil with the same blind conviction that religious fundamentalists display....|||I seem to be a fairly stereotypical INTP and I have 12 tattoos at the moment.  Nothing in a theme or anything - they're all pretty scattered and random.  I had my left nipple pierced once upon a...|||Even though he's been mentioned a couple of times already, Diogenes is the first that pops to mind.  Followed by Newton.  Of course, Socrates was probably a little insane, too.  Actually, I think all...|||I'm currently dating an INFP girl, and we get along very well.  She's in favor of spending quite a few nights at home watching movies, playing games, or just chatting.  It's really wonderful. ...|||In undergrad, my major was anthropology and my minor was history.  In grad school, I majored in applied anthropology with a specialization in medical anthropology.|||I don't either.  Yes, sometimes I will get to a point where I'm reading too much into a situation, but if I keep thinking it through, I'll see that those thoughts were erroneous.  And on a side note,...|||Good point, but that show is the only fusion of space travel/dungeon adventuring I can think of.|||I like going to the occasional small venue show, but I don't go to many proper concerts.  If I really like the band, I'll go, though.  Once upon a time, I went to quite a few.  Pearl Jam, Depeche...|||I'll take the dungeon.  Space just has too many x-factors for me (resources, atmosphere, radiation, aliens of a non-sexy variety, etc.)  Besides, I've always wanted to have an Indiana Jones/D&D sort...|||It really depends on what I'm thinking about.  Usually it'll either be musical scores from movies, games or TV shows, or it'll be some old school Jazz, like Miles Davis or John Coltrane.  ...|||I dated an ESFP like that once.  It didn't last.|||Art is all about perspective.  That includes music, literature, and other non-visual arts as well.  As such, it can force the viewer/reader/listener to think about things in a way that he/she might...|||My pet peeve of late on forums such as this one has been people arguing over the MBTI type of a fictional character.  I mean, what's the point?  They're fictional.  You can't expect consistency in a...|||Ah, yes.  That is a good one.  In fact, probably my favorite.  I like to be excited about something.  Not anticipation, but that high you get right after something good has happened (see above). ...|||People coming up from behind and touching me.  Or people touching me in general (with a few notable exceptions).  And people who just don't even bother to see if their argument is logical before...|||This sounds like you're dating me!  I've been dating an INFP girl for about two months now.  We have not made the sex yet, but we are in an exclusive relationship.  The sex thing doesn't bother me at...|||I scored a 20, which is funny because I thought I was pretty empathic for an NT.  Most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 20.  HA!|||This is what Kurt Vonnegut called a granfalloon, which is defined as a group of people who imagine they have a connection that does not really exist. An example is Hoosiers; Hoosiers are people...|||That is any political discussion with my mother.  I just bought her a copy of Logic for Dummies in the hopes that she'll stop embarrassing herself.  And me.|||The funny thing about that rivalry to me is that it really seems like only the A&M people care.  Most UT alumns that I  know couldn't care less.|||No, I'm not sure.  This is all highly theoretical.  Perhaps it's time to move on to the human trials phase of testing tonight.    Oh, but if they only knew what was going through my head as I'm...|||The Pi Punch - Three punches followed by a light slap.|||Rock Me Now by Metric  The town where she was born, like town where I was born was built by white settlers seeking gold and other treasures. Like me she feels uncomfortable in the clothing of her...|||Oh, you make me laugh, dear lady!|||Oh, no. I'm always trying to keep drama out of my life, but it has become something of a sport.  I like to see how close I can get and remain unaffected by it.  Not caring very much helps.|||You and I have a lot in common socially!|||Good point!  I am usually the calm center to the hurricane of drama that several of my friends become swept up in.|||Oh, she was quite knackered by this point in the night, but it doesn't just happen at the bar.  It happens at work quite a bit, too.|||Yeah, I have to admit that I sometimes ask, Are you okay?, so I'm sometimes opening myself up for this.  But that's usually only with people that I know fairly well.  Last night, I didn't ask that...|||For some odd reason, people love to tell me their sad tales.  And I don't know why.  I don't think I put out a come cry on my shoulder vibe, but it's apparently there.  I hardly offer advice in...|||Hahahaha! Last night's Facebook status was, Does anyone know how to block status updates containing the words game, baseball, Rangers, or another other sports-related jargon?  For some...|||Oh, I'll be quoting that video the next time someone tries to take credit for anything their favorite team does.  Thanks so much for that!    When I was in the navy, a common Monday exchange...|||Mainly watching sports.  I don't really care to play, either, but I am very active physically.  I will play some basketball (poorly) or some baseball/softball from time to time.  But sitting on my...|||What they said.    However, as I was in preparation to commit seppuku, I found this site.  There are two tests and they are much more clearly worded.  I scored 80% on test 1 and 100% on test two.|||All that actually makes perfect sense to me.  Thanks!|||Okay, so here's my question to you: Is it that you derive a feeling of comradery from watching with other people?  Are you just as likely to have the same emotional response when watching alone?  I...|||I don't have a brother, but I have a lot of friends that are the same way.  Which is why I'm so glad you can now unsubscribe from people's Facebook updates these days.  It is annoying and I agree...|||I agree that we have way too many sports over here.  But I don't understand soccer, either.  I used to watch a little baseball every now and again because I played it for six years in school, but the...|||I don't understand the appeal of sports.  I live in Dallas and if people aren't going nuts over the Cowboys, it's either the Mavericks, or lately, the Rangers.  Now that the Rangers are going to the...|||To me, a person's stupidity has little to do with innate intelligence (or lack thereof), and more to do with how willfully ignorant they are.  I have little patience for people that are proud to not...|||I do this to my mother a lot.  She's one of those that just parrots back what she hears on the news and refuses to think for herself.  Even when I know NOTHING of what she's talking about, it's easy...'
