from the latest fad in personality tests, an analysis of my brain (cheaper than a cat scan, and more fun!):

"ester, you show a slight right-hemisphere dominance with a moderate preference for auditory processing, an unusual and somewhat paradoxical combination of characteristics."

heh heh.

"Your tendency to be creative and free-flowing is accompanied by sufficient ability to organize and be logical, allowing you a reasonable degree of success in a number of different endeavors."

reasonable degree? well, who could ask for anything more?

"You find the symbolism in a great deal of what you encounter and are something of a "mystic." With regards to your lifestyle, you have the mentality which would be good as a philosopher, writer, journalist, or instructor, or possibly as a systems designer or social worker. Perhaps most important is your ability to "listen to your inner voice" as a mode of skipping over unnecessary steps to achieve your goals."

excellent. i love being affirmed by random testing. take it yourself.

also a first today, on the heels of my debut tryst with hamlet, i invited rejection #1 from the new yorker. gotta start sometime.
