I don't know why my LJ has been so full of fluff lately...

[rivka]

...but I'm carrying on with the latest LJ meme, which is to enter "your_name is" into Google and see what comes up. And so we have:

Rivka is in a hurry.
Rivka is not taking any chances.
Rivka is forced to leave her home, so that Meir can father a child with another wife.
Rivka is definitely more relaxed here.
Rivka is still deeply attached to her roots, culture, and tradition.
Rivka is also a certified scuba diver.
Rivka is very successful in her work and in her social life. She is very well connected.
Rivka is insistent that Thanksgiving is for everyone.
Rivka is not giving a cooking demonstration or a science lesson.
Rivka is not anti-Christian; on the contrary, she supports ecumenical interchange.
Rivka is, in fact, asked, and gives her okay to go with "the man."
Rivka is given the gift of a nose ring.
Rivka is a woman with a passionate obsession for knitting.
Rivka is troubled by her role in the drama of Jewish history.

There are mystics who maintain that Rivka is the reincarnation of Sarah, or actually his mother.

The story of Rivka is filled with secrets, hints, and examples of proper behavior.

I picked up on your job(if the masturbating men was part of that) and I was wondering...what is it exactly that you do?

I am almost a psychologist (I haven't finished my dissertation), and I work at an HIV research institute. I spend half my time working in an HIV clinic as a therapist, and the other half working on a research project studying the effects of spiritual beliefs and attitudes on living with HIV. The sex-related section of the study, which appears to be what prompted the, uh, misbehavior, is included because we're interested in what factors contribute to people's continuing with unsafe sex and needle sharing after they are HIV+.

So, um, who are you? And how did you happen to find my journal?

er, me? I'm Kathryn. Student extraordinarire or something like that. I found you through the clinical psychology interest. I've been interested in a psych major after deciding that though i love art to death i don't think i want to make it my life's work and end up hating it. I hope I'm making a bit of sense?

Oddly enough, my mother has a BA in Psych and we were talking hte other day about that. Consequently I'd asked her what the worst thing that could happen would be and she said........."some guy you're counseling might start masturbating in front of you.."

Odd, no?
