I'd like to think of myself as patient too, although I am generally far from it, I'm probably one of the least patient people I know; although I've learnt to fake it well. That said, there are sometimes where I am extremely patient and I'm not faking it; go figure.

One of my teachers said that about me at a parents evening (oh so many years ago) once, he said I was like an enigma wrapped in a paradox; that was the teacher I got on best with too.

Not as genius as the paradox thing. Console you have to be pretty weird to come up with quotes like that hence he was completely on your level.

In what way?

It was kind of a "joke".... well, half a joke... it's just sometimes you can be very nice, and sometimes difficult. Luckily, I can usually tell just by looking at your username - not always, but mostly :-)

Ah, I see, well I don't have a split personality, just an intolerance of people sometimes, and I like to help all the time.

I don't know what that means, but I'm sure it's very deep (if you ignore the smiley).

I wouldn't say that you'd have to be weird to come up with a quote like that, but we were on the same level most of the time; he was my maths teacher and was also the head of the IT department, so our academic interests were very similar. He's the person that got me into web design actually; he asked me to do the schools webpage when I was in year 9 (I think).

No, not really. The first time we met was because I had broken several of the schools security systems and downloaded a snes emulator to the schools PC and was playing Mario Allstars during break time.

Not really. "An enigma wrapped in a paradox" was a phrase used by WInston Churchill to describe Russia. I'm stunned you didn't know that s4b!

It means... I can sit and look at your (or someone else's username!!), pick up the energy from it, and come to a conclusion about the person's state of mind. It CAN be done.

The 'energy' you're picking is probably just radiation from your CRT monitor; I'd be careful about being around it too much if it's affecting your mind.

I'd like to test that theory then Viv - what is my current state of mind?

My mind is perfectly clear this morning, thank you!! It's typical of you to be cynical and dismissive about anything paranormal-looking!! :-)

Viv, it is one of the craziest things you've ever said, and it's up against some bloody stiff competition; I can't believe for a second that even you would believe it.
