Entropic Chaos Factor

I'm totally sucked into the Stieg Larsson book "The Girl Who Played With Fire". I finished reading "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" about a week ago and Amy gave this book to me last Saturday. I had to finish reading "Death Match" by Lincoln Child before I started reading the Stieg Larsson book or I know I wouldn't have finished "Death Match." I usually have a couple books going at one time but I really like the Larsson books and know I'll be sucked in. I started reading it yesterday.

Anyway, as I was saying... I'm sucked into the book and I just read something that made me stop and "google" it. After seeing the results I know I'm not alone, a lot of other people did the same thing.

Here's is the passage that stopped me:

"Apart from the fact that you're not really a dyke. You're probably bisexual. But most of all you're sexual-you like sex and you don't care about what gender. You're an entropic chaos factor."

Stop the presses, what the hell is an entropic chaos factor? It sounds like fun to me! Do I need to add this to my sexuality postings? As I said I "googled" it and really did not get a difinative answer. So I guess I have to make up my own answer.

Entropic - entropy - this has way too much math for me. hmm I'm going with a "measure of uncertainty within a random variable."
Chaos - lacking order
Factor - 'who/which acts' Agent a person who acts for another.

So let's see we have random variable, lacking order and an agent. Here's my definition:
A person; in this case a woman who shows up unexpectantly at your doorstep some evening, and rocks your world.
I kinda like that~ sign me up for one of those Entropic chaos factors!
