Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

(Real) personality tests are meant to aid in self discovery, not tell you how to act. While we may 'all' be complicated and a lot of things, it's not hard to deny that humans can still be broken down loosely into types of people with tendencies. Since learning my type i have gained a better understanding of myself, less worry over who i am and why, among other things. Perhaps the problem isn't in the test, but in how you Choose to approach the test. Tests reveal what exists. Perhaps the real issue is that you don't want yourself so easily revealed.
Humanity craves the balance between being unique and fitting in (though few will admit it, how ironic) and helping to learn more about yourself actually helps to serve that purpose to a great good. Anyone who takes a test and tries to behave within the results, well, the outcome is the fault of the taker, not the test.

Actually, I'm glad you posted, William, I never thought of it that way and you made some awesome points.

There are probably two main reasons why I feel weird about personality tests. The first is the one in bold. The second is because of how I have seen others use those 'letters'. I tend to see people slap them on to people's foreheads, and that it is some leading factor in determining the quality of that person or 'how good enough' they are for 'my set of letters'. Maybe I was seeing it wrong, maybe people were just genuinely trying to understand the people they have in their lives.

I guess I'm scared of showing my letters, or my deck of cards if you will, and someone instantly shutting me out because of them.

I don't know what to do with myself. I'm going to be sorta stuck at someone else's house most of the day. It's a ranch...farm...thing. There's a lot I could do, except it's my ex's family and they kinda all don't like me and they watch me like a hawk when I'm there.

Because, you know, I'm highly likely to tuck a chicken under one arm, a duck under the other, and steal a horse to ride off into the wild blue yonder.

...they caught me within five minutes last time I tried that, I dunno what they're so worried about.

This is good to know. If yer ever in California, I will have to hide the good china.

I'm not so sure about the good china.

The good CHICKENS, yes, but I'd bet the actual china that the good chickens might be served on is relatively safe. (You might want to count your ducks as well... and maybe even pigeons if she's in a pinch.)

From the profile I may or may not be formulating about MissCris... she seems to have a weakness for poultry and livestock. Oh, and coffee. The good china cups will be just fine.

But the coffee that might get poured into them? All bets are off.

^^^ On that note... I am starting to wonder if my rubber chicken will be safe.

I'm totally kidding, of course!! That is, about MissCris stealing it...er... I mean, about having a rubber chicken.

D'oh.

how about the term "Jesus Freaks"

I happen to love that term. I'll wear it proudly.

I just don't like the idea of people twerking for Him,...as if Jesus is enjoying that,....PUH-LEASE....Sigh

 

[Ugly]

Twerking for Jesus?

I don't think so.

 

[MissCris]

I hate when I can't keep my crazy under control.
But really...I'm like a ticking time bomb over here, the crazy has to go somewhere or it just...
KABOOM.
*sigh*

It seems to be a pretty sure thing, me moving. Mid to end July is what I'm guessing. I think my boss and coworkers will understand. I think my friends will too.

I think the hardest part will be leaving my church and my parents. It was hard enough to leave the nest the first time, but I think it will be harder this time since I've lived with them for almost 2 years (the first time I left, I had been living at college) and we have a great relationship.

I know I eventually have to fly. It will just be...a very sad liftoff.

 

[MissCris]

Rachel-
I'll be praying for you, girly. Change is hard. Often worth it, but hard.

Rachel, where are you moving too? Oh, that's right, Australia!
Praying that God prepares you for where you feel called to go.

Whoa... Tintin, you are back. How is Monday looking?
Oh and you were right about those drop bears o_o

 

[Tintin]

Hello, mate. I'm back from the future. Monday is good but very rain-orientated. Sorry about the drop bears.

Yesterday was school picnic day at this place called Waldameer Amusement Park. We got there at noon and my daughter and I didn't leave util 10 PM. I'm so tried, she wanted to ride all the spinny rides. My kids rode with their friends most of the day, then my son got sick so he and my husband went home. My Daughter wanted me to stay with her. We rode the roller coaster a million times, the spinning tea cups, the flying swings, the scrambler, the bumper cars. This fun house ride called the Whacky Shack. This other very spinning ride called the Wipe Out. It was exhausting.

Awww but that's a day that the two of you will always remember now

 

[ww_21]

I just... have no idea how to continue living.

ww_21, I'm sorry you're hurting, I wish I could take the pain away, but I can't. I may not know you very well, but I love you, sister. Stay and fight the good fight. Keep your eyes above the waves. You'll be in my prayers.

I am not whatsoever looking forward to tomorrow morning. We have an dermatologist appointment to go to for one of the individuals that I support. The dr has called an insulted our staff, our agency and took the guy off one of the meds that he gets, because by he has to get bloodwork done to check liver function cus it can be effected by the med. well by his records, he had not recieved blood test results since last October, but we had been getting a technician to come to the house and take the samples. We found out that they were being faxed to his other office. Yet he still lashed out on us, even though it wasn't our fault. So my coordinator called him, and he lashed out on her.

So we get to see him tomorrow -.- and it fills me with dread. So the coordinator is coming with me tomorrow, to support me and to have a few words with him. Either way, we are looking for a new dermatologist. I hate drama.

Yeah...just lots of things I have to do, and I don't have much prep time for it, either. No fault of my own, just how life decided to go.
