electra's complexities

so the seattle opera is going to do a production of wagner's the flying dutchman this summer. here is a link to the seattle times article about it. the name resonated, for obvious reasons (being the name of davy jones' ship in pirates of the caribbean), so i got myself into a wiki-web of references on the subject. the entries on davy jones and the flying dutchman, as well as the various pirates of the caribbean entries, lead to a fascinating series of legends that the pirates writers borrowed from various sources and cobbled together in their narrative. it's all very postmodern.

well...the wiki entry on davy jones' locker lists out a few cultural references to davy jones. one is the navy hymn, "anchors aweigh."

INTP (this time)

interesting. i usually come out as a weak E, rather than a somewhat strong I. i guess i've been developing more I-ness over the last year. i usually score as more extremely P, too (though i've been consciously cultivating J traits); but the N and T look about where they usually are. this test was a little bit different than others i've taken; i don't remember them giving me two such extreme choices for each question. in at least a couple of cases, i felt like i needed a choice right in the middle.
