Perhaps it would be for the best if I foreswore the blog. There are too many other legitimate claims on my time and energies at the moment. Thanks to those of you who have read, those of you who have left comments, those of you who have e-mailed and, most of all, those of you who have prayed. May we meet again in better circumstances.

EXPERIMENTER
(Dominant Introvert Abstract Thinker )
Like just 4% of the population you are an EXPERIMENTER (DIAT). Although you're slightly shy (admit it!), you love control. When a problem comes in your way, you stomp on it swiftly and decisively. You are bothered easily by failure in others and failure in yourself. You don't like people that you don't think are intelligent. Rather than arguing with them, however, you would just as soon ignore them altogether.

In relationships, you have a strong heart. And because you're introverted, people take you as someone they can trust. But the fact is that in addition to solving problems, you like to create them. So there's a decent chance that you'll cheat on a loved one. If you do, you'll likely get away with it. You're a good person at heart, but then again, who isn't?

First paragraph isn’t that far off. Second paragraph’s another story.

Peccatum meum contra me est semper

MISERERE MEI, Deus,* secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum:* dele iniquitatem meam.

Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea* et a peccato meo munda me.

Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco,* et peccatum meum contra me est semper.

Tibi, soli peccavi* et malum coram te feci; ut iustus inveniaris in sententia tua,* et aequus in iudicio tuo.

Ecce enim in iniquitate generatus sum,* et in peccato concepit me mater mea.

Ecce enim veritatem in corde dilexisti* et in occulta sapientiam manifestasti mihi.

Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor;* lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

Audire me facies gaudium et laetitiam,* et exultabunt ossa, quae contrivisti.

Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis,* et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

Cor mundum crea in me, Deus,* et spiritum firmum innova in visceribus meis.

Ne proicias me a facie tua* et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.

Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui* et spiritu promptissimo confirma me.

Docebo iniquos vias tuas,* et impii ad te convertentur.

Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae,* et exultabit lingua mea iustitiam tuam.

Domine labia mea aperies,* et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.

Non enim sacrificio delectaris,* holocaustum, si offeram, non placebit.

Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus,* cor contritum et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.

Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion,* ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem.

Tunc acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae, oblationes et holocausta;* tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.


May the Lord have mercy on me, and on all sinners.
