Laureen is always getting on my case whenever we watch movies or TV that I am too impressionable. For instance, if a character in the movie is smoking - I will want a cigarette. Or if there is a beer commercial during a game, I will ask her if we have any beer in the fridge. This goes for drinking tea, eating pizza, etc. It is a good thing I really don't watch that much TV.

Well, last night we were watching the Goblet of Fire and as she gets up for a break, guess who returns with her Slytherin scarf wrapped around her, all set for the second act? I will never let her live this one down!

Look at this! I told you Trian!

INTJ -The Mastermind
You scored 18% I to E, 47% N to S, 66% F to T, and 47% J to P!

You are more introverted than extroverted. You are more intuitive than observant, you are more thinking based than feeling based, and you prefer to have a plan rather than leaving things to chance. Your type is best described by the word "mastermind", which belongs to the larger group called rationals. Only 1% of the population shares your type. You are very strong willed and self-confident. You can hardly rest until you have things settled. You will only adopt ideas and rules if they make sense. You are a great brainstormer and often come up with creative solutions to difficult problems. You are open to new concepts, and often actively seek them out.
As a romantic partner, you can be both fascinating yet demanding. You are not apt to express your emotions, leaving your partner wondering where they are with you. You strongly dislike repeating yourself or listening to the disorganized process of sorting through emotional conflicts. You see your own commitments as self-evident and don't see why you need to repeat something already expressed. You have the most difficulty in admitting your vulnerabilities. You feel the most appreciated when your partner admires the quality of your innovations and when they listen respectfully to your ideas and advice. You need plenty of quiet to explore your interests to the depth that gives you satisfaction.
Your group summary: rationals (NT)
Your type summary: INTJ

I woke from a dead sleep this morning. Still dark out, I guess I didn't oversleep, things are looking up. I eyeballed the clock radio next to my bed at eyelevel. 5:00am. Good, still another hour left to sleep, that is if I can manage to fall back asleep. Usually I just lie there thinking that I must get back to sleep and then, finally around 5:58 I drift off...

Man it's quiet. That's one thing about this house and living out here in the sticks. Very quiet. Almost spooky, but I'm getting used to it. This sure ain't the city. Every morning it is the same and I'm thinking to myself, this is just the kind of routine I could get accustomed to.

Without warning, instantly I was catapulted into hysteria from what I heard sounded like children screaming and being slaughtered. WTF? Am I dreaming? This is not happening! What do I do?!

Was it coming from downstairs? I bolted out of bed with a sense of urgency rarely experienced. I got to the top of the stairs to try to determine where the sound was coming from, and just what it was I was hearing?

As the screeches continued, my next thought was that demoniacal children were heckling me in my own house from the very foot of my stairs. Why isn't Lauren hearing this? It is loud as hell? Oh yeah, she doesn't have her hearing aids in while she sleeps. Well that's one more advantage for her.

Still the screaming continued. As I whirled around in my bedroom looking out windows my mind started to awaken as instinct and bewilderment slowly subsided. Yet the noise continued piercing the stillness of the winter woods before dawn. What sick people are outside at this hour screaming and shreiking and raising hell?

Slowly I got my bearings (In spite of being an early riser, I am definitely not a morning person) as the screams turned to yelps which gave way to howls. Those are coyotes! And not just one, but a whole pack! Not only that, but they are real close! They were raising the dead. I could not believe how they carried on.

Now I have been camping as a boy scout. I have spent a week by myself in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia where I did not see another soul for the entire time. I have hiked alone fifteen miles into the Montana Wilderness to the Idaho border and spent three nights in Grizzly Bear country with nothing but my pack, my knife, and a pointed stick. OY!

But this gave me the willies! And damn! It's too early for this shit to be going on!

As suddenly as it began,the cries stopped, and then all there was was a deafening silence.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

I got a flat top!

First time ever! Of course the wife hates it, but I have never had my hair this short before, EVER! Man it feels cool (like a squirrel, I would imagine) aboout a month and a half ago my hair looked like this.
Now I look like my middle-school shop teacher in Virginia. I'll probaly grow it back once I get into my new position at work. Then again, are you reading this honey? I may keep it this way, FOREVER!
