Misfits Burrow
Alpha Couple
Hi, I'm the female half
of the Alpha Couple in charge of this Burrow. The picture
is how my husband sees himself. He's dishevelled all right
... but smart? Ha! However, I do allow him to keep up that
dillusion.
Have you ever had the feeling that you're some kind
of a square peg yourself, trying your best to fit into
this otherwise round world? Well, take heart — you're
not alone. The Village Fox is a Myers-Briggs INTP personality type,
which represents a scant one percent of the population
in America. That means the Village Fox often (always?)
feels that way too.
And so, he figured it might be a good idea to devote
a portion of his web site to a few of the other square
pegs he's run across. As you wander around his web site,
we're sure you'll see other examples of his "square peg"
personality shining forth. Well, okay, maybe it won't be
as much of a shine as it will be a fuzzy
glow.
As you probably know, both life and literature are filled
with examples of square pegs. Characters who don't quite
fit in with the rest of the other people around them.
Well, in their honor, we've put together a couple of
reviews of our own personal favorites (which, happily,
pretty much coincides with the Village Fox's personal
favorites). Obviously, we can't include them all ... at
least, not in the beginning. However, we hope you enjoy
at least some of them. If we have forgotten a few of
your favorites, we beg your forgiveness.
Burrow Organization
We've organized the Burrow's documents into the following
structure:
Burrow — General Area of the Den
Where you are now — the Misfits Burrow.
However, you are welcome to stroll around to wherever
your heart and curiosity take you. Enjoy your visit. You
are always welcome!
Libraries — Category Structures
Our Burrow is divided into one or more Libraries. They
allow us to organize various documents into broad categories.
Our architects built a Library for each category of
Document. They aren't real libraries, but they are buildings
that have been architecturally designed to look like a
typical library.
Unfortunately, some of the shelves have fallen down
and documents are scattered all over the place. Seeing
our Libraries is a fitting prelude to the type of Documents
we keep here (you know, misfits).
Sections — Subject Matter Containers
Documents are divided into Sections. They allow us to
organize our topics by subject matter.
However, due to the subject matter, we sometimes find
it hard to fit Documents into any particular Section.
Sometimes — dare we admit this? — we're not
very organized. Of course, the Village Fox understands.
We hope you do too.
Documents — Web Pages
We've collected a number of documents that deal with
examples of a few of the Village Fox's favorite misfits
— found in literature and the media.
Most of these documents are meant to be read individually,
but a few are part of a longer "article" and should be
read sequentially. We'll always tell you which kind they
are.
What Next?
Libraries are the next lower level in the Misfits Burrow.
For now, we've setup the following Libraries:
Literature Library
The Literature Library is
where you'll find a few of the misfits from the fascinating
world of literature. Fiction is usually stranger than life
— in spite of the often quoted, opposite statement.
Film Library
The Film Library is where
you'll find a few of the misfits from the world of film
and animation.
Have a pleasant day!
