Reflections: The Internet

by Andrea Bois

Created on: June 12, 2008

I have learned that with access to a computer and the World Wide Web, there is no end to what one can learn these days. When I was a kid and I needed some facts for school or I just wanted to know or had to know something, I needed access to an encyclopedia. Remember those? You needed an entire bookcase for them, you seldom used them, and when you did, they were hopelessly out of date. Now anytime you have a need to know anything at all, you just let your fingers do the walking and Google-it! You get more answers than you know what to do with. Every time somebody asks me something I don't know the answer to, I tell them "Google it."

Almost everybody has their own web page now with a blog, and in some cases more than one page with multiple blogs. I must confess I am guilty of having no less than three myself and just about as many email addresses. To serve so many avid readers and bloggers alike there are hundreds of web sites filled with fun and oh-so entertaining tests and quizzes one can take to learn things about themselves. Wow, who knew? Playing around on a computer can help you learn about yourself! Of course some of what I'm calling learning here is a stretch and that's for certain and for sure!

I myself like to take personality and attitude tests online. I find it endlessly entertaining. Reflecting on the many faceted battery of tests I've repeatedly put myself through, I realize that much of it should be taken with a grain of salt. Which means some of it should be thrown out all together and some, perhaps a fraction of it may actually be accurate. So without taking any of it very seriously, I've compiled here what I have "learned" online about myself...

For starters, I am all about love. Yup, peace and love and hearts and flowers are what I'm all about. I already knew that, but it goes much deeper. Much deeper indeed. By taking an online test called "What kind of lover are you", here is what I learned: I prefer a quirky, unique person to be my lover. No average run-of-the-mill kind of guy is going to catch my eye or hold my interest. I'm very easy going about who I'm with as long as they love me back. In fights I'm able to walk away, calm down and weather the storm. I'm a romantic kisser. I love to kiss under the stars or by the sea. A perfect kiss for me involves the perfect mood and it's pretty common for good kisses to sweep me off my feet.

My seduction style is au natural. I rank right up there with my seduction skills, though I may not know it.
