The iPod arrived yesterday. It comes in such neat packaging. The box is a cube, but flips open like a huge ring box. (Oh, Apple, this is all so sudden… yes, I do!) But now it has to wait for the iBook to get here, since I can’t download iTunes onto my current Windows laptop in the meantime. iTunes requires 2000 or XP, and my laptop has ME, the quickly forgotten lovechild of Windows versions. Remember ME? Yeah, whose bright idea was that?

[Update (15:22): Whoa, the iBook is here! Well, it’s waiting at the front desk of the condo building, to be exact. I only just now got an e-mail from Apple notifying me of the tracking number, but apparently it had been shipped a few days ago. I wasn’t expecting it until next week. Nice!]

In other news, the new iMac G5 is out. Mmm, pretty. Oh, and Thom made me promise not to become an annoying Apple evangelizer. Not to worry, I’m not quite there. Yet.

So I took this wholly unscientific (as most of them are) quiz that’s been making the blog rounds. Some of the results are accurate and others not, but for the record, I am so not a sex bomb. (With 6/10 for some of the dimensions, I’m perhaps just teetering on the cusp of bomb-ness.) But seriously I’m wincing right now at how many times the word “sex” appears:

eXpressive: 6/10
Practical: 4/10
PhYsical: 6/10
Giver: 6/10

You are a XSYG—Expressive Sentimental Physical Giver. This makes you a Sex Bomb.

You are sexy sex sex sex! The sexness! You are the sexiest, hottest and most charismatic of all types. You are a captivating speaker and a great dinner date—relaxed, self-effacing, charming and generous. Your type probably has origins in something sad—trying to keep the peace in a tough family situation, or an early heartbreak—and you’ll probably want to address and resolve that at some point, but in your relationships that heartache is pure gold!

You lie effortlessly—not necessarily a bad thing. You can have problems with fidelity. You need frequent praise and validation, and in seeking it you can make decisions that aren’t consistent with your general good judgment. In other words, don’t cheat on your significant other just because someone is paying attention to you.

You strongly dislike conflict, and will avoid it. Like an XPYG, you give so much of yourself to your partner that you feel dismissed and unappreciated if you don’t get the same in return. But you internalize your feelings more and have a hard time getting over them. You don’t want to cheat—you just keep finding yourself in vulnerable situations. But you’ll stay with your partner in the long run from guilt and a desire to please.

Your sex life will always be hot. You are one of the rare people who can keep the fires of passion going forever—if you find a good match. Find another XSYG and you will never need (or want) anyone else again.

Of the 28587 people who have taken this quiz, 9.1% are this type.

Now if I could just get that Tom Jones song out of my head.
