To feel the bubble is a tactile delight, to note how its consistency changes when squeezed is another touchy-feelie thing but one can't stop there. The bubble must die to provide the complete experience. And when popped it looks definitely dead, worthless and unattractive; once a pleasure, it is now rubbish and its earlier state cannot be evoked from its present state. Heartlessly we move on to another vulnerable bubble. The man you saw was intent on bubble-o-cide.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-75806135080825616932010-02-23T08:30:07.907+00:002010-02-23T08:30:07.907+00:00The bubble-wrap fetishists are coming out of the w...The bubble-wrap fetishists are coming out of the woodwork! Perhaps it was an important birthday for the man and he had promised himself a kind of 'all you can pop' treat...<br /><br />Glad you picked up the fox/hedgehog thing. Have you done the test yet? I'm putting it off till the right moment, especially after reading one of the comments on the site which suggested that the time of day when one undertook the test might have a bearing on the result, that concentration patterns fluctuate. There are other possible types too, so you may not have to choose simply between hedgehog and fox.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-2732561311868577212010-02-22T20:23:36.066+00:002010-02-22T20:23:36.066+00:00I love bubble wrap!

Much food for thought here but I rather think both. A fox when I'm interested in a wide variety of subjects, perhaps superficially, but a hedgehog when focused on my main interests. I find it can be too easy to be a firefox and get distracted from being the hedgehog. <br /><br />(By the by, did you know that we don't have those delightful hedgehogs over here, except as chocolates?)<br /><br />Your bubblewrap-popping-orgy image made me laugh!marja-leenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634791656471132347noreply@blogger.com
