I felt quirkily left out, so I had to do the quiz.

How quirkyalone are you?
Your score was 71. Somewhat quirkyalone (otherwise known as quirkytogether):
You are probably part of a mysterious group of people, the quirkytogethers. You share many of our quirky qualities, but you manage to find yourself, on a regular basis, in a coupled situation. Interesting.

Yes, interesting. And quite true. I don't like being alone, and even when I am without a significant other, I find the need to have plans, plans plans. Mark says I don't enjoy my own company, and I suppose that's true. However, I also won't settle for being with someone, just to avoid being alone.

After my divorce, I did much what Dy is doing, and created a list of sorts, of things I wanted in another person. Mark was doing essentially the same before he met me. When we talk about it now tho, we realize how few of those things on our list are present in each other. And yet, to quote Mark "the list changes when your heart becomes involved." I think the list helps you weed out the losers at first. It's important up to a point, it keeps you focused on what you want and don't want in a mate. If you make a really comprehensive list, it can help you see where you've made mistakes in the past. It can also alert you to red flags. Things you recognize from the past, that warn you ahead of time that this is danger territory. Loser Alert! Loser Alert! A list is good. A list is productive. A list is healing.

And then you wad up yesterday's fish in it, and fall in love.
