In modern mockumentary style, what's a meta phor?

Answer: Purple. :P

There, I'm just goin' off 'cause of having my oldest sister over to celebrate an early Christmas (she lives downstate), resulting in all *five* of us sibs, whole and half, watching a movie together 'cause her cinematic tastes are just a tad more conventionally lowbrow than the rest of ours, and commenting dryly on how *utterly* non-Freudian it was. Especially the inflatable bits. And of course, any one of my siblings who happens across this will read all-too-clearly WTF I'm talking about, because we're all far too quick of sight to miss a single sign of something, anything that's fit fodder to analyze...

I have a virtual doctorate in non sequiturs. Should I be proud of that, or take it as evidence that I need to seek out only my own kind, my own species to fraternize with?  Or, de-evolve even more, as Dr. Allen told me in Rhetoric class, so that my dissertations won't intimidate the lesserly-endowed?

Nope...(damn, now that was an innuendo)...I think I've pretty much hit the highbrow/lowbrow paradox here--and as Virginia Woolf said, the real people to watch out for are the middlebrows...they're the bland pablum-suckers in this world, who scorn the rough and ribald and wish they could scorn those at genius-level (in any field).  Actually, there are those who think that they are part of the avant-garde--and a good deal of other people who believe them, too--when they're only feeding off their own sheep--I mean, sheer--pretension, making idols in the details and missing the greater picture and all its underpinnings.

Personally, I love underpinnings--I try to pin things under as deftly and vividly as possible in everything I do, aiming always for the perfect fit and implications.  I believe neither in cliches nor in unnecessary showboating of obscurities...my own references are just as obscure as I need them to be at any given time.

Hmm...Michelle and Simone--now there's a pair of lovely girls...

Me and my Mercurial mind.....

Thank you, Poni...I just had to take this one, of course (like I said, I already turned up as from Mercury on the planet thingy, and this ain't any different, as 5 is Mercury's number...).

I also turned up a "New School Democrat" on the political persuasion quiz, but Bill Clinton playin' the sax just doesn't do it for me somehow.  Not that any politician does completely, of course...though there were some moments during the debates when I got that old hopeful feeling that maybe with just a little twist of fate and free choice the world would turn out right after all.  Funny...I'd felt the same way briefly four years ago, but this time I felt it had to be for real...

Funny thing...I'm always an individualist, but it isn't always my most-defining trait.  I think I used to be a 4, if this is the Enneagram-based system--4 is the Romantic there.  Was on the cusp, but I guess so long as I'm honest I've switched over that fence to the slightly more Holmesian side of things...

At any rate, there's never been any doubt about my being a visionary.  Is the Pope Polish?--does a bear shit in the woods?--is Aurey complicated and confusing?

Heheh...try scrambling those up for the hell of it....

You Are the Investigator

5 You're independent - and a logical analytical thinker. You love learning and ideas... and know things no one else does. Bored by small talk, you refuse to participate in boring conversations. You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it.

What number are you?
