Chintz vs. Shag said I was ecclectic and made it nervous and would I please take the test again.

Me too.

I never know what to say to "what do you do" for work because the job title really is weird and describes nothing and there aren't really industry (and I'm not even in industry!) terms for my mishmash. So I say customer support, even though that's only 50% and even so, it is more complex than that.

What I actually do requires a paragraph. Or a bullet list.

Or I just say I'm a glorified peon in pseudo- academia.

I'm in computers. But what do you do? Analysis. Analysis? Yeah. Oh, and I teach martial arts.

That makes the change the topic, or opens them to me talking interminably about krav. My parents don't really understand what I do, and I don't feel any value is added to most of my relationships by understanding what an Application Architect does wrt content management. Bores me to talk about.

ita is me.

16 Bohemian Mix , 07 Money & Brains , 03 Movers & Shakers , 01 Upper Crust , 04 Young Digerati

Also I am Nouveau Riche. As others have said, Bestsellers? Only by accident.

And "Name That Class" had me flipping between old and new money with every question. If only I had a bank account to match my apparent personality.

My parents don't understand what I do, either. They're still waiting for me to come to my senses and become a teacher like everyone else in my family.

There's just something all kinds of twisted about this:

The D.A. said today that he would probably seek the death penalty for the suicidal man who left his S.U.V. on a track.

My neighborhood:

61 City Roots, 40 Close-In Couples, 54 Multi-Culti Mosaic, 26 The Cosmopolitans, 59 Urban Elders

Which is probably about right. I don't fit into any of the descriptions, really, except one age one. But that's fine.

I dunno. It feels like irony, but I don't wanna piss that ranty guy from bon's link off.

ita, that link is going to eat my evening, I can tell already.

Our town now is filled with Big Fish, Small Pond; Big Sky Families; Country Squires; Greenbelt Sports; New Homesteaders.

I yearn for Bohemian.

My tastes according to the quiz are new and old rich. I'm actually middle-middle, and my family are mostly blue-collar with some trailer thrown in.

My neighborhood is American Dreams

Bohemian Mix

Urban Achievers

Urban Elders

Young Digerati

I mostly see the Bohemian Mix and the Urban Achievers in my neighborhood.
