you don't ever think of the list of things you need to do and feel like "every minute of the rest of your life is scheduled for you – and it’s a long series of arbitrary, solitary tasks," do ya?


in other news... like a little bit after I made this post, someone I respect saw the personality type thingy up on my screen, and was like, "whaaat are ya doing...?"
soo, had a good conversation about how a lot of what drives the thinking about ones own personality type is real quick-fix-y, and so I feel a bit silly for having started the whole conversation. (hence me tending to abandon thread!)
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."

Pffft, so what? :D It crops up every now and then and is interesting in a lot of ways. Of course, anything like this is inherently flawed, because it deals with how we like to see ourselves and as such, may be indicative of things other than a personality type. :D

Hah, yeah.. but I was in "someone fix me! or show me how to fix myself! riiight now!" mode, which was sort of implicitly diagnosed in that conversation...

Perhaps you should stop assuming you need fixing? ;)
