I'm a geek

[joreth]

So, I am such a huge nerd that, while updating my sexual history sheet, I decided to create a graphical representation of my sexual history.  It's not as detailed as I'd like, but I haven't decided how many more details I should represent.  So far, it's a bar graph/timeline that shows everyone in my history in chronological order and color-coordinated based on 4 categories:  1) casual/fuckbuddies/one-night-stands that do not include intercourse, 2) relationships that do not include intercourse, 3) casual/fuckbuddies/one-night-stands that do include intercourse and 4) relationships that include intercourse.  I thought about coding for specific activities (since they are included on the list), but the color coding or other forms of grouping would be complicated because of the large number of combinations of activities, if not number of activities themselves.  The timeline is broken up by my age in years, so it's hard to tell some of the chronology because some years I had several partners in one year, but they weren't all concurrent.  Problem is I'm so fuzzy on time, that I'm not sure how to clarify that because I can barely remember the year, let alone the month or date!  So I still have some work to do, but it's a good start.

But yeah, I'm a dork.

Yes, I'm sure I'll eventually come up with something bigger and fancier ... I am the person, after all, who tried to build a model of the Squiggle out of tinkertoys because a 2D paper flowchart wasn't good enough ;-)

Maybe if you used the Tinkertoys as a FRAMWORK and then used strands of colored lights on dimmers?

[joreth]

Now there's an idea! I suppose I can write a program for a lightboard that will change colors when the relationships change.

If you used a computer-prgrammed dimmer set, yeah!
