In Delta's EII appreciation thread, the following observation was made:
In the thread I'd dubbed myself the "apeshit crazy" subtype, half in jest. And in the same thread tereg came up with a gemstone analogy, pearls vs. obsidians. I've been using "obsidian" subtype as it sounds slightly kinder than my initial assessment...but I did think...

I see duality as being like tempering chocolate.

I took a chocolate truffle making class last weekend, and it was fascinating to see how...exact and delicate the process of tempering chocolate is. Tempering chocolate is the process of making it ready to coat things like fruit or balls of filling, or place it in molds to harden for filled truffles.

It's the most difficult thing I learned to do on Saturday, because it's very exacting in what temperatures you need to...

Been up for an hour, but going to try to go back to sleep for the next one before my alarm goes off.

Today's sun hasn't risen yet...but it will. And I think I should learn to pay attention to the water...

Thinking, in relation to my response to http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...tml#post575932

When there's only one "point of connection" to someone, and that point is sealed off...I guess there's no helping it, is there.
Such a pity, such a waste...but not really. It can't be, after all.


EDIT: Meaning...is different from potential. They're entirely separate things, even if I didn't realize...

Got the dread note from my landlady this morning: she has to enter my apartment on November 2nd. Which means it has to be acceptably clean by then.

...crap.
