united states postal service

Just a quick note between classes:
This morning, I checked my PO box in the UT Station on the West Mall. I did my usual thing. A couple of hours later, I realized I didn’t have my keys. After a couple minutes of thinking, I had remembered that I had to have had them this morning to open the box. I run down to the office, get in line and ask the clerk. Sure enough, they found the keys. Matched the PO box key to me and sure enough, even remembered me from a few days before when I went in there for something else.
For all the trash-talk that the USPS gets, today, as Kari would say, they are rocking my face off.

the bells of austin

My internet is still out of commissioned but with the great piece of plastic known as a University Catholic Center keycard, I’m able to write now.
I finally got moved into my new place. It’s a great location. A block away from St. Ignatius, Martyr. A couple blocks away from St. Edward’s University. Less than half a mile from perpetual adoration at San Jose.
Anyhow, what struck me as really awesome is at 10:55 a.m. on Sunday I am sitting in my bedroom doing something. I heard bells. Actual official church bells ringing just prior to Mass starting. I always loved the idea of it but never attended or lived near a church that did that. I assume it was St. Ignatius but I really don’t know. In either case, I miss church bells.
Bed time for now thogh. Hopefully be back soon!

correction: blogging personality

Okay, I had another person whom I’m on a single wavelength with take the test and it shot my theory out of the water. She’s an INFJ- very close to me so perhaps it’s acceptable.
Her percentages were very borderline though:
Introverted (I) 54% Extraverted (E) 46%
Intuitive (N) 55% Sensing (S) 45%
Feeling (F) 55% Thinking (T) 45%
Judging (J) 59% Perceiving (P) 41%
I wonder what the margin of error is on these tests? I figure for the one I linked to from kisa.ca, is a pretty short one so a higher margin of error.
I mention this for a couple of reasons. First, with my results (INTJ), I mostly agree with them but as my ENTJ friend mentioned, I’m a weird I. I’m introverted usually but very able and willing to become an extrovert when the situation merits. For example, I’ve MCed/led multiple events ranging from 600 to 3000 people. Secondly, my INFJ friend, I somewhat disagree with her results. She’s borderline so perhaps that’s why but I would consider her an extrovert. Also, she is much more thought-orientated. She’s not emotional. Who knows? Just thought that was interesting.
Also, now I’m signing off for the week. I’ll talk to all of my in silico friends soon.

short break

Well everyone, my internet connection here will be down between now and the morning of August 30th. Long time, I know. E-mail and everything will be working and I’ll probably check it almost as often as usual. I’ll try to keep posting here as well, but in case I don’t, now you know why. When I come back though, I’ll be on a cable connection… oh I can’t wait. Feel free to send my phone a text message at AIM screen name ‘kraftcheesenmac’

blogging personality

Fr. Jim at Dappled Things has continued blogging about the personality results. So far with talking to people I know, I seem to be most compatible with are extroverted versions of my personality or ENTJ. I wonder if it’s a balance thing?
