    Hey Jen, I read your 'lifestyle' post, which led me to a question.

    Do you miss having young children in your life? My eldest is only 12, but I think I'm already starting to miss him.

    "Out with the bad; in with the good!" is that a 451 Farenheit quote? But I'm glad that you were able to vent all that frustration out. If you're feeling less achy, then try finding the source of your lack of focus and untangling the emotions therein. Yes, that means Fi, but according to your lament that the world is civilized, you've got some low-hanging fruit, too: try to find something to wonder about, something to discover. You could psychoanalyze your son or even look for migratory patterns in birds. :)

    P.S. Do I sound bossy or intrusive in so saying?

    I dunno if there's much reasoning with the mods. They seem to clique. It doesn't really bother me until they start banning out bans for no good reason.

    Heh. That was always my favourite name of hers, it seemed more appropriate than just Death, like it more embodies her personality or something, I'm not really too sure. Maybe I'm just a little crazy, I've always had a bit of a crush on her. :)

    I remember when I first joined INTPf, and saw your avatar, and I knew then that you must be pretty cool :).
    Well, after I found out that Absurdity and THD were mods, I was ready to believe that anyone was. :) And you sounded so... authoritative.

    I feel similarly, although I am still often rather inherently reluctant to be that way. I can see it's benefits too, not only in that it can be helpful to others, but also for ones own self. I do admire it.

    Heh... oh hey thanks :)
    I wish I could say something exciting that would be worthy of a secret identity, but sadly I'm just a regular person, with a pretty normal life. You however Teleute... ;)

    I'm fond of your posts, the honesty, the openness, the way you relate. And a whole bunch of other stuff. You're really cool :)

    I'm good.

    Nothing particular to report. Just pretty good.

    I'm on a bit of a diet right now, and have some extra energy. But other than that, just the usual.

    I hope everything works out how you want it to. :)

    ahh - you got it? My parody of BAP? It's been driving me nuts, but what is even nuttier is that the guy either does a damn good act of playing dumb... or really really doesn't get it. Which is almost beyond belief.

    But anyway... I've given myself a holiday from the forum, which feels sooo good. I probably really don't belong here anymore - if I can't help folk wake up to their own behaviour, I have very little to contribute but the same old jokes. And gods only know what repetitious personality glitches I'm perpetuating!

    There's folk here though I wouldn't want to lose contact with. Should do something proactive about that ;)

    And yes, that's really me with the black wings. I'm one of the fallen.
    The following text is charged with emotion. Please wear proper safety equipment before handling.

    They talk trash about me behind my back, they talk down to me because of my age, and I go ABSOLUTELY BALLISTIC! I have feelings! I've spent my entire life getting talked down to like that! And worst of all, I've been training to become (intellectually) stronger my whole life through tens of thousands of hours of thought and debate, so insulting my aptitude strikes a million raw nerves: if I'm so dumb, then debate me and prove me wrong, and I bet that I can take you on! So I refute their insults and defend my name from being tarnished by insults and insinuations. For a more concrete example of my problem, consider that I had to hold myself back from delivering a screaming tirade in Chad's thread.

    *exhales* Venting to someone feels good, but I know that I'm unhealthy. Thanks again, Jenny.

    We do want to keep the relationship together. She still holds out that hope that I'll come back to the faith, but she's realistic about the fact that I probably won't. My lifestyle never really changed all that much when I went from Christian to atheist. I didn't take up drinking or anything like that so that helps. I'm realizing how much common ground there really is between us. We may get there through different thought processes, but the end result is the same. Love, compassion, kindness, respect - these are things we can agree on. I guess I just needed to realize that I love my family more than I hate the church. I don't know what the future holds, bad times are always on the horizon, but that's where I'm at at the moment.
    I appreciate your humor, but it isn't helping. :( I loathe these sorts of emotionally charged interpersonal conflicts, but I keep getting dragged into them. And now I just feel sad and angry and confused. :storks:

    -Duxwing
    I'm ready to chew Chad's head off again. Grrrrr... that razzin' frazzin' framing-me-for-his-crimes no good projecting son of a fallacy makes me want to find an ax.

    Thanks. I appreciate hearing from you. It's a problem so few truly understand.

    Things are okay now, I think we've found some common ground. The gist of it is that I won't belittle her for her faith and she won't .... leave me ... I guess. I've been so vitriolic towards Christianity for so long, I think I lost sight of the fact that it's still really important to her and crushes her every time I go off about it. Her pastor has actually been a great help and his generosity and willingness to accept me unconditionally has been humbling. I'm no where near going back to the faith, but if a Christian can treat an atheist with respect, why can't an atheist treat a Christian with respect? In fact, why can't an atheist treat a Christian with respect even if the Christian doesn't return the favor? Perhaps we catch more flies with honey. I'm starting to think atheists have been going about this all wrong. ;)

    Oh man, I'm sorry for opening my big mouth. I do that a lot.

    I think the right response is to totally disregard what I said.

    Honestly, I thought I might have some skill at typing people, but my attempts lately have proven that I really just don't have the slightest clue.

    I have no idea what your type is, and if you identify with INTP, then you're INTP.

    I feel a bit foolish right now. Hope you can just disregard my silly attempts at typing you.
    wonkavision
    ha ha. No, you didnt get doorslammed. :D

    yeah, I just have lots of stuff going on, and also I've been thinking about stuff you've said and turning it over and over in my head.

    I have lots of questions for you, but some of them were answered in that thread about transgenders. so that was handy.

    I definitely plan to get back to you on that stuff.

    And which assertions are you talking about? You mean the dubious disputations about your type? :D

    yeah--you're an INFJ, but you'll never accept it. whatever--not my problem, lol. :D

    Go on thinking yer INTP. It's all good. :D

    EDIT: Actually, I'm MOSTLY joking. I've come to the conclusion that I'm really no good at typing people.
    It's too hard. I give up.
    I barely dodged that bullet, though. One false click and I would have been finished. On another note, I wonder if, in a bizarre twist of typology, I have more Fe than Lyra. When I read his vision of society-- an anarchic social darwinism that he regards as "beautiful"-- I was ready to deliver a tirade on altruism whose grounds in logic I could not find.

    You're pretty level headed: "limits of language" thread.

    Do I need my rage meter adjusted?
    Between the thread itself and the one by BAP recently my patience for dipshittery is just gone, I've had to restrain myself from taking SpaceYeti's high libertine horse out from under him.

    Tell me Jenny is it just me, am I the malfunctioning one, or am I really surrounded by morons and people who act like morons but ought to know better?

    Is precision in language counterproductive... my godless anodised aluminium ass the notion is so stupid it's come full circle and back into stupidity a second time!
    I lost my reply to scorpiomover's post, my reply to your PM, and my reply another post in a virus attack. I'm so frustrated. But thanks for the encouragement! :)

    Would you like a topic suggestion?

    Well, I do know some of your personal history, but I'm not sure how much you've actually revealed and how much I read into what you revealed.

    Please forgive me if I'm being to personal, but maybe you could talk about some of that. Whatever you're comfortable with, of course.

    I'm particularly interested in gender identity (i.e. how fixed or malleable it is, how much it's actually related/not related to physiology, etc.)

    To be frank, I had a lot of gender identity-related issues growing up.
    I feel that, in some ways, I have a very "feminine" interior life, and it has been a bit of a struggle to reconcile that with being male.
    I sometimes wished I could be a female, and occasionally considered gender realignment surgery, but I've pretty much put all that behind me.

    I'm a husband and a father now (and a Christian), and it doesn't seem relevant to my life anymore.

    I'm sure a lot of NF males have this problem to some extent though.
    wonkavision
    OK, yeah. I'd like to see a video.

    I want to test out my visual typing skills.

    The fact that you're so chameleon-like only makes the challenge more interesting. :D
    wonkavision
    Well, if you're not an INFP, you're doing a damn good job of appearing like one.

    Have you gotten a Pod'Lair Mojo-reading?
    I'd love to hear what they have to say.
    wonkavision
    Are you sure you're not an INFP, then?

    I could swear that you are an NF.

    In any case, you do seem like a mature, balanced whatever-type-you-are. :D
    wonkavision
    Well, you're on two of the forums I've frequented for years. I haven't interacted with you much, but I've read tons of your posts.

    I can't go into details right now, but I think you're more J than you realize.

    Plus, in your pictures you look downright NF to me. I know people don't put much stock in visual typing, but dammit, I do!

    (though, now that I look at your photos again, you look more xNFP-ish rather than INFJ, which just confuses me all the more.)

    I'd be more confident about it if I saw a video. But I'm already coming off like a creeper, so I'll just leave it at that for now. :D
    (thinking to himself) Double entendre... a woman could swoon over a big duck... big dack? big dock? big d--

    --Augh! My EYES! :eek: It burns. It BUUUUUURNS! And I wouldn't have even noticed it, either. Oh, my eyes!

    ... :D ...

    And thanks for clearing my confusion up.

    -Duxwing
    I do feel better, thanks Jenny. :) I think that I'm going to put him on ignore, too. It's just so frustrating. Do you think that he's an ISFJ? I've never seen an INTP commit that many logic errors and spin narratives instead of writing cogent arguments. Also, who is the V guy?

    -Duxwing
    And that is quite possibly the greatest insult that he could ever deliver unto me. My whole life, I've argued-- laughing, moaning, honing my craft-- and getting accolades from the reasonable ones around me. But then, out from the coppery depths, some old fashioned dunce tries to paint me as an incompetent greenhorn needing help. Why oh why do we have social narratives?

    -Duxwing
    idk...maybe I just expect too much from people? Stop failing my expectations! :mad:



    Though, you have a point. :cat:

    The worst is arguably the thing in the dark, nobody knows what it is, because nobody has seen it and lived, but it's there and it makes noises.

    :D

    Seriously though I live in a country where it's not uncommon to check inside shoes, under toilet seats, and to give the sheets a turn before getting into bed just to be sure there aren't any spiders, and not the big hairy ones either, no I mean the little ones with necrotising bacteria on their fangs.

    Ghosts aren't all that scary.
    Alice?
    I'd never heard of Fables before, in the process of looking it up now. I'm always interested in new reading material... Never mind that I have a backlog of about four books that I've started but not finished in the past few months. That's what summer is for, I suppose :)
    Alice?
    I liked her too. It's been so long since I last read the Sandman series. I recently repurchased the first book but it is sadly being held hostage at a friend's house.
