According to Sandi Thom, that makes Tove Jansson a punk rocker.
Interesting to see the pictures of people in one's interests. I did start fiddling with one for myself, but then I had to go pack, and iron, and sort out laundry. Boo.
Thanks! I was feeling blue on Monday, and redecorating the journal was easier than tidying the house. I think the purple font on the links might be a bit light, so I might get round to fiddling with that at some point. And my tags need tidying up.
I got confused when trying to match my images to my interests list, and thought for a moment that 'slash' had produced an image of the cast of Smallville. Sadly not, but it was a fun thought.
I had a wonderful "paid professional friend" for a while who commented that my mind was like a Calder mobile, its drifting elements being my various passions and interests. The interest-du-jour was whichever element had drifted to the foreground.
I found this metaphor enormously reassuring, because up to that point I'd just called myself flakey.
In sharing this insight with friends, I've concluded that Calder-Mobile-Mind is a trait I have in common with everyong I find interesting, and it's a source of intermittent despair to all of us.
INTP, by most versions of the test I've taken. I seem to come up 51/49 on the T-F axis, though.
Almost all my friends are introverts (all three of them--hee!), but there are a couple of notably extraverted exceptions with whom I share the drifty-brain, an enthusiastic pouncing on some new idea or interest, and the inevitable fade.
I don't have a strong theoretical grasp on the MBTI, but I wonder if the Calder-mobile-mind isn't generally a trait of Intuitives.
Yeah, I'm not surprised. American gas-guzzling bad taste would come up first via the algorithm--whcih I suspect is uses Google Images, which, in turn, is a sort of popularity contest, isn't it?
I actually cheated and changed some of my interest listings to get better pictures.

Me too. And NONE of the pictures offered for "classic cars" was any good - they're all yank-tanks.

Gah! You'd think at least a Ford Capri would have turned up.
