XNFP?

I took the following personality test and: you're an Observer!

"This means you're one of the more kind-hearted people around. You are unusually intuitive, and you probably understand yourself, as well as others. That also means you're a good mediator — though you may prefer to spend more time on your own than most.

You are better equipped than many to steer your life in the right direction. Understanding more about the components of your personality will reveal unique information that even people like you might not realize. And the better you know yourself, the more confident you'll be making decisions that affect your life."

This is interesting because I used to score a pretty solid ENFP on Myers-Brigg personality types, or at least no more introverted then a boarder line, so I took the Myers-Brigg again and got a really strong "I" ... the thing is, I don't come accross as reserved... except sometimes... maybe more then I am aware of... you know what? I think I am an INFP. Anythoughts?

Oh, and horror of horrors, I started a xanga site... there will be overlap between these two blogs... the other will be more personal, this will stay as is.

peaking out of shells

I've been reading so many blogs lately that I thought I would contribute to my own. Tori's latest album came out Tuesday. I don't have the money to get it yet, but I am sure this will be remedied by Spring Break. I have almost three hundred songs on my iTunes accredited to her. Many are her live covers. Most are the actual albums. I also have all the b-sides (enough for several extra albums) most of the remixes (some bore me) and rare pre-Little Earthquakes stuff. I am organizing my songs tonight because that's what I do when I am stressed and need to unwind -I organize stuff.

I have been spending gobs of time lately at Valhalla (aka The Tower Room). With impending graduation it's like slowly letting go every time I go up there. It's a good think they are as clingy as I am! Linnea's rant about graduation being death makes me worry about my own graduation, but since that's never going to happen it should be just fine. Actually, it will because I am far to determined and pissed off to not let it happen. I was extremely sick for two weeks. I have had to drop a class, definitely am going to have to spend an extra semester here, and am generally working on feelings of defeat. I am not defeated. I am doing well at what is before me, I am just tired and want to be treated well by those I interact with. I miss the dark room. I took pictures the other day after spending my morning painting and my afternoon sculpting and it was like "hello, THIS is what you do." My camera, myself.

I am also having tons of fun being Thorn editor. Submissions are coming in and it's fun to get to see how creative people I already know well and people I have never met can be. I don't know what I myself will put in. Everything seems so personal from the past year, even my photographs.

it happens

I will have you know that I ma not moving from this bed. I didn’t sleep last night for, you know, reasons biological, and so I slept a few hours this morning and now I am sitting in my bed listening to Bone Thugs and typing. It’s time I blogged again. Hesitent I may be about electronically sharing, but place that is good find I now. I am an Art Major. I can’t do the 18 hour thing, so I am dropping Global Trends like a bad habit and taking an extra semester so that I can live in the present moment to the fullest. I may be able to finish my Philosophy major, which would make me so happy. There are also hints of a plan launching for Spring Break that may enable me to visit Rockport (graduate school prospect). So, worst thing about the major change? I never see Jared Leonard anymore. I still see my Rivendell philosophy contingent regularly at dinner and open dorms, etc, but the dudes down in Little Stonehenge, the St. Elmo edition, not so fortunate with the seeing. I love painting. I am messy. I already dropped a painting on my face trying to balance it in my cubby. Dude, I am not ashamed of my unabashed giddiness! It’s been a long time. Also going well, Thorn. We found a printer who will make Thorn beautiful for the limited funds we have. Pepper red folks, it’s a beautiful colour which will be featured on Thorn’s binding this year. If you are reading this and go or have gone to Covenant (please, you know who you are, send me your stuff! Represent.) send submissions to thornsubmissions@gmail.com. Also good, the second season of Gilmore Girls. That’s all I have to say.
