INTP-my personality? What do you think....

You're an INTP

INTP

You're on a quest for logical purity...you're motivated to examine universal truths and principles...always asking "Why?" and "Why not?"...can focus with great intensity on your interests...you appreciate elegance and efficiency in thought processes and demand it in your communication...

You might appear low key in appearance and approach, you're hard as nails when challenging a truth...you don't like to deal with the obvious...at your best when developing unusual or complex ideas...you can be an under- achieving but very capable student...if you don't like a rule, you're quick to challenge it and find flaws in it -- this could make you somewhat of a rebel...if you like the rule, though, you have a respect for it and go along with it...

A relentless learner in areas that hold your interest...you might seem "lost in thought" to others...you tend to connect unrelated thoughts...you would rather be the architect of a plan than the implementer of it...you need a private, quiet workplace that allows for flexible independence... would rather organize ideas than people....

You tend to stay away from traditional leadership roles, and would rather lead with your ideas...you don't get emotionally involved, but rather tend to follow logical reasoning.....leisure has two dimensions to you: first, you like to concentrate and reflect on conceptual matters -- second, you like to take risks in the external world (like skydiving?)...

You like to read, think, watch TV, play with computers..(and post on the Storm Palace message bases).. sometimes you'd rather do these types of things than hang around other people...you don't necessarily like "best sellers" or "must see" movies because you don't trust people's opinion on what's "popular" and would rather make a value judgment for yourself....

Love, for you, has three distinct phases: falling in, staying in, and getting out. falling in love is a loss of rationality for you, and you fall HARD...an all or nothing phenomenon....

The "staying in love" phase is where you start to evaluate the relation- ship's structure and form. You may withdraw at this point because you're moving toward your most customary inward style and nature. A lot of the open affection stops....the giddy state changes... The "falling out of love" part (which doesn't always happen) results from an analysis of the real expectations of the realationship and needs of the relationship. Often an undefined line is crossed that neither of you knew about in advance. However, if you end it, you'll keep the relationship going as a friend in some capacity if you have a reason....

Pitfalls: don't focus too much on the inconsistencies of others...try being friendly and showing appreciation of others...being competent is very important to you, and you could be too hard on yourself....don't let your emotions take control -- you could have outbursts or appear hypersensitive...

INTP: "It's Not Theoretically Possible"





Disappointed

Wow. Life is kind of gross right now. I have to say, I am disappointed slightly in how this break is going. I don't know what I expected. Maybe more God time. I find that I am failing more and being more disobedient to God. I guess God has some kinks to help me work out. At least I can see them. It's really weird how self-aware I am. I know what I have to work on. I know where I am failing. I know that God is sad for me. I guess I need a little more work than originally thought and until I get to that point of working through this, than I can move up with my relationship with God, because I am just lying to myself if I think I can bypass this stuff and just go at it. It's time to be strong and stand up for what I want and what I need for myself. There's a difference between needing and wanting. A difference between knowing and believing. A difference between faith and seeing. I want need. I want belief, and I want faith. I want to be real and not some plastic personality. God can give this to me. He can provide what I need, but it's gonna be hard and it's gonna require sacrifice. Just like Jesus. I want to be just like Jesus. Jesus wasn't a pansy. He sacrificed a lot, the least I can do is sacrifice a little. Right? Roight!

The Talk of Relationships

Did you ever notice that ultimately almost every conversation you have with someone ends up in a discussion about relationships? I am still be humbled by friends who are boys who tell me that they are not interested in me. I always welcome the words because then I am humbled to a state of disbelief and embarressment. Disbelief that they actually said it and embarressment because then I wonder whether or not they think or thought that I liked them. This has happened on numerous occasions, once at a Walmart, that was interesting. I guess it kind of stunk because I was almost sure this guy was my future husband...just kidding...Dez and I were in line at a Walmart and he said something about his girlfriend which only made me assume that he thought I was hitting on him. Very upsetting. Dez heard him say it and I didn't, so there you go. Maybe I was in love with him for a moment in time...which by the way is an excellent movie featuring Christopher Reeves and the "Medicine Woman" at thier best! Anywho, yeah, so whatever. I don't know what to think anymore. I think I will put it to rest. Too many long meaningless conversations about the same old stuff, and we never get anywhere. Always resting on the same conclusions. Why do we talk about relationships at all? Both sexes know they are confusing the other. There's no point to talking about them. Am I right? I don't know. I'm gonna stop talking about it!
Have a wonderful day filled with fun new friends (I love those! I have made an unexpected new, fun friend! Unexpected b/c it was new, not b/c he was fun!) and love and blessings from God.
For He has blessed me most undeservedly.

Sincerely yours...

Final, finals, finals....

Wow, finals are done and I am excited and feel like crying...maybe later...! But anyhow, I always finish stuff like this (finals, big tests, big projects) and finish feeling completely inadequate. Personally I find that that fact is getting, not only repetitive, but irritating. I want to do well and feel satisfied, knowing that I did my best, but it seems as though that reality may be a ways a way. No worries, God has my back. I think I am improving. It could be the lack of time and the obviousness of my spreading myself too thin in that department...or all of them. I am so looking forward to break. I can rest. I will be working, but I can rest and spend time with my Jesus. (He's yours too, but...y'know!) I am just gonna veg and makes pants and drink juice boxes and listen to music and practice my guitar and practice being restful.
NO doubt I am looking forward to next semster, but this break is gonna fly by and I don't want to miss it. Y'know? God is so good and awesome. Go Jesus! Go Jesus! Heehee, just nerd is written all over this forehead! And proud of it! Yeah!
Anywho, rumbly tumbly says it's time for some grub...headin' oot!
Much love to whoever reads this!
Hi JO and Dez, y'all rule!

the art of love songs

I don't think that love songs have ever been so great!
It's like singing them is singing them to the Lord. Given
that quite a few of those songs are bad, but I like the way
that they can be looked at innocently, eh? I still have to
watch the way my brain works, girls' brains and love songs
is a dangerous mix. But, I don't know. I just feel so free.

update on the life of me

Well, life is better. At school for the second semester and my relationship with God is amazing.
I can feel His presence and He speaks to me.
My friend and I were discussing how God woos us like a boy woos a girl.
Only it's God and no offense boys, but He's more amazing than any guy I have ever met.
I want to be with Him all the time. Obviously it's not possible to be alone with Him always, but He's always there and always holding my hand, which is amazing.
I can't express how much I love Him.
As far as old loves are concerned, I am good and God is healing me like I never thought I could be healed. I was reading my old blog and realized how much I have grown in the last year and a half. Wow. I was such a little girl than. I admit I am definitely a dumb girl, but God has totally transformed me into a future Proverbs 31 woman. Yep. I have a relationship with the best man alive, and He's God! Booyah! I got the best husband ever!
Well, on that note, I am loving homework but not the papers, weird, huh? I like homework, it's the papers that kill me. No worries. I got an amazing husband who will help me, heck He wrote history, so that subject will be a breeze! ;)

P.S. He can woo you too! ;P
