Homme Less
Looks good. Clearly he's got the panache and style to pull it off, me, people just try and give me money...

The IBM Watson Developer Cloud
An online algorithm that takes text input from blogs, etc, and analyzes the sort of person you (or the author) is. Copy-paste, the bigger the sample, the more "accurate" the results.
My results:
"Your Personality*
You are inner-directed.
You are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. And you are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself.
You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of well-being.
You are relatively unconcerned with tradition: you care more about making your own path than following what others have done. You consider independence to guide a large part of what you do: you like to set your own goals to decide how to best achieve them."
And I ran it through again, this time only using that content from my dreams:
"You are sentimental.
You are empathetic: you feel what others feel and are compassionate towards them. You are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe. And you are proud: you hold yourself in high regard, satisfied with who you are.
You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of connectedness.
You are relatively unconcerned with achieving success: you make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. You consider helping others to guide a large part of what you do: you think it is important to take care of the people around you."
I tried it a few times, the results were always 90% or greater the same.
I have a certain skepticism of online personality (or any personality) profiles, but it's fun to run through other peoples emails and compare their portrait to your experience of them.

Calaway Park
I'm not the only one with dating horror stories. The daughter, she's 14, back in Calgary for a couple of months, catching up with friends. One, a boy she had a crush on when she was 8 or 9...they arrange to go to Calaway park.
My daughter, she's a young 14, there's 14 and there's 14, if you know what I mean...
She meets him, he's still short. She's 5'6", he's roughly 4'1", mebbe 4'2", kinda still chunky with baby fat...She makes me promise to pick her up, no later than 7:00...
..After the date she tells me it was the worst time ever. She's self-conscious about his height, or lack-thereof, he was too fearful to go on the roller-coaster, made her sit on the front of the log ride so he wouldn't get wet, wanted to ride the strawberry teacups, guilted her into buying an $8.00 slice of pizza, then, when finally they got back to his place, made her sit and watch him play video games...when he was done she watched him watch you-tube walk-throughs of other players playing video games...
"It was the worst time ever...I never want to see him again..."
Ah, darling, life is preparing you for the real world...

Extraneous Nipples
I'm in a prospecting meeting, of sorts, other prospectors, some irrelevant people, dark room, a desk with a fat bossy kid, he's taken over from the boss...all around there are disconnected bath fixtures, bathtubs, toilets...
I'm picking at a blackhead on my ankle, start to squeeze it and the puss jets out, at first a narrow stream, then bigger, like toothpaste from a tube...I'm amazed, really, how much is in there, keep squeezing, more and more keeps coming up, I'm wiping it off, looking for a place to wipe it...
...and moving up my ankle, looking for more blackheads, I discover a pair of nipples on my inner ankle bones, I squeeze them, they jet out a splash of milk, then the toothpaste-styled puss, my hands are full of it, I look into the bathtubs, can wipe them in there, only the irrelevant people are sleeping in them...
...The boy, he's still barking directions, I'm paying attention, sort of, despite his bossiness he's proving surprisingly competent...
