I'm a sex bomb?

I took a quiz I found on my friend's blog, and while some of the results are true I have never thought of my self a "sex bomb." What is that exactly?

Results are below.

You are a XSYG--Expressive Sentimental Physical Giver.

This makes you a Sex Bomb.You are sexy sex sex sex! The sexness! You are the sexiest, hottest and most charismatic of all types. You are a captivating speaker and a great dinner date -- relaxed, self-effacing, charming and generous. Your type probably has origins in something sad -- trying to keep the peace in a tough family situation, or an early heartbreak -- and you'll probably want to address and resolve that at some point, but in your relationships that heartache is pure gold! You lie effortlessly -- not necessarily a bad thing.

You can have problems with fidelity. (if you are reading this I have to say I have NEVER had a problem with fidelity!) You need frequent praise and validation, and in seeking it you can make decisions that aren't consistent with your general good judgment. In other words, don't cheat on your significant other just because someone is paying attention to you.

You strongly dislike conflict, and will avoid it. Like an XPYG, you give so much of yourself to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don't get the same in return. But you internalize your feelings more and have a hard time getting over them. You don't *want* to cheat -- you just keep finding yourself in vulnerable situations. But you'll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please. Your sex life will always be hot. You are one of the rare people who can keep the fires of passion going forever -- if you find a good match. Find another XSYG and you will never need (or want) anyone else again.

Of the 4256 people who have taken this quiz, 11.2 % are this type.

Olympic Moment of the Day

In the spirit of loving the olympics, I give you "Hot Olymians." They are adding a new olylmpian each day. Votes on the cutest so far? Even as the lady lover thad I am, I'm going for Ian Thorpe. When you have a nickname like "thorpedo" what do you expect? Plus, how many other olympians go the distance to appear in promo photos wearing only body paint?

A to B Interview Breeds Sucess

Just days after answering my A to B interview (see below), our favorite P. Doety has moved one step closer to his goal. He is scheduled to leave Point A with a nice little parting gift to help him along the path to point B.

This could be you! If you want to be featured in "A to B" and reap the karmic benefits seen in the case above, let me know.

This Week's Interview "P. Doety"

In thinking about my jobsearch and my blog, I have come to realize that while I may be the only one of my friends who is out of work, almost all of them would like new jobs, different jobs, better jobs. I have decided to start an interview section of the blog to appear periodically that where all of us less-than-satisfied-with-our-current-employment folks (sorry about the overuse of hypens) can share our advice. We all know it's easier to give than receive. In this spirit, my first "A to B' is below.

Name: P. Doety

Age: 27

First Job ever: working in a shoe store (it was actually the coolplace to work, ok)

Current Job (Point A): Corporate Whore=Assist in making crap music

Desired Job (Point B): Some position in theatre, assistant to aproducer or education development team

Jobs you are willing to do in the meantime: anything

Lets start positive. Name a few things you like about your current job (Point A). laid back, free cds, artist events

Why, then, do you most want to leave? Zero creativitiy, ego filled\industry only concerned with making money

How do you think your life would change if/when you arrive at your desired job (Point B)? It would have a purpose

Do you feel like the (so-called) ups and (more often) downs of the economy you hear about actually affect your search? How? –no, there are always more people trying to work in theatre than there are jobs. Especially in New York, where everyone is more talented and has more\money and more connections.

We all know that it's much easier to give this advice than take it. Any advice for the masses just like you (and me) on getting from A to B? Don't break up with your boyfriend who is your only source of connections.

Other words of wisdom, life experiences, jokes, riddles, haikus or profanity you wish to share? Stagnant water stinks. I know it's kind of vulgar, but I think it is a good phrase to remember. If something in your life isn't working, it's probably time to change something (you know, like the water-cause it was stinking)

Thanks for your time. Tune in for the next installment of A to B

This Just In

New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey resigns his post, citing an extramarital homosexual affair. Details soon.

I just saw this headline on CNN.com. I'm so glad I'm from New Jersey. I also have already heard a rumor that the Gov's affair was with Sam Champion, local blond weatherman!

Olympic Preview

I love the Olympics. I have never really been able to get into televised sports, probably because I am nearly incapable of in-person sports, but the Olympics are different than your run-of-the-mill ESPN experience. First of all, there are the insane sports that you forget about for four years between Olympics. In winter you have curling (played with a broom), skiing the moguls (the only wintersport outside of ice skating with musical accompaniment), and my favorite Women's Ice Hockey. In Summer there's archery, synchronized swimming, rhythmic gymnastics(just a euphemism as far as I'm concerned).

It provides a little whimsy to go along with all of more typical baseball, basketball, and hockey you could watch any day of the year.


I even like the little montages about the athletes. And the opening ceremonies. Remember the Winter Olympics in 2002 when the announcer during the parade of nations pointed out the athletes representing the Axis of Evil? What will it be this year? "Hey Iraq, got your oil!" We'll have to watch and see. I am even having an opening ceremonies party this year.

And to get in that Athens headspace, I spent the weekend in Astoria. Yes it was at a German Beergarden and Japanese Sculpture Exhibit, but it was a gesture.

Apologies Apologies

Before my next post, I guess I owe a bit of an apology. Sorry for abandoning my blog for the last few days. I could blame it on post traumatic stress from seeing scary high school football guy (see below), but I won't.

I have been busy, well...Actually working (Yeah!) this week. I guess I am officially "in" with my temp agen/office pimp, Brian. Now that I am in an office all day in front of a computer, instead of out in the world, I have time to blog. Did you miss me?
