I have way too many notebooks. I almost always have one with me for jotting down ideas. They get all scrambled though, and I have ideas strewn throughout dozens of notebooks.

Pine cones are tree poop.

Change is unknown. That's why people fear the dark and the ocean. It's unknown.

I would not send an email or letter. A lot of communication is through body language and written text is more likely to be misconstrued. How do you know she's an INFJ if you've only met her twice and only for business? Did it come up? I think just dropping by the bank and asking her to...

Yeah, lol. I realized I needed to add that after I posted.

My best girlfriend is an INFJ. She is never blunt and rarely says what she thinks, mainly because she hates confrontations and hurting people's feelings. She would be the type to have difficulty telling someone she doesn't feel that way back, but she also won't make the first move or reciprocate...

You definitely don't need a passport to fly between states. The only reason for Alaska would be if you drove through Canada to get there. I'm flying to Nevada soon and frequently go out of state. You don't need a passport. I've never even gotten a passport before. You do need valid...

No, there aren't even checkpoints at state borders. Just signs saying "Welcome to Utah" or whichever state, and sometimes there isn't even that. There's a place where four corners of four states meet and you can stand in all four states at once. You might need one to get to Alaska if you...

Maybe it's because the zodiac will "tell you your future"... MBTI doesn't do that. Also, zodiac is simpler. There's usually a paragraph or a few words attached. MBTI requires more reading.

People like belonging, having an identity, a reason to explain why they are the way they are, and to be understood.

I have severe lethargy and generally need a lot of sleep. It's annoying. I've found that it's linked to my excitement level. When I'm feeling bleh about life, I sleep more. When I'm truly excited to work on or do something, I need less and feel great all day. Oh, and food. Bad food makes me...

I have tried, but there seems to be no other alternative...

Yes, that makes sense. I was wondering if the general statement of feeling the need to do things that "piss people off" was generally in a passive way since you also said you don't like to disrupt things. But there is actually a bit of understandable reasoning for not wanting to go to family...

Would you say you like to do things that piss people off passively? Missing family events is not a direct contact activity. I'm asking out of curiosity, not judgement.

I learned to improvise and transpose on the spot in paid performances. Not my favorite way, but it made me learn fast. Where did you start with piano? I think I would like to attempt learning again... You can hook a keyboard up to Sibelius and it will write down what you play for you. Quite...

I always envied the piano players in my theory class. They could compose much quicker because they could perform four parts at once and hear it. At least compared to violin. I can play on three strings at a time, but it's not ideal to say the least. Do you ever just play by improvising? I have...

It's very interesting. I found myself glued to it and the ending should not have been a surprise, though it was to me. Once you're okay with people not accepting or liking the way you live, it gets fairly easy. In my experience that is. It can be difficult to feel like it's okay if you've been...

Do you compose?

Pandas: Living proof that you can get fat just by eating salad.

I don't mind debate. I enjoy it even. It drives me crazy when someone says something illogical, and can be proven to be that way, and then just sticks with it! For the sake of not being wrong? What? I mean, if I'm proven I'll say it. Good grief. Them: "Please don't say anything you know...

I donate in unusual ways. I pay for the people behind me in drive-thru occasionally, I get things for people that I know they might need or might make their lives easier, I take care of sick people in my family or have in the past, sometimes for months, and give food occasionally to people on...

I rationalize it quite a bit, but that void still needs to be filled. I read books and give myself permission to become obsessed with whatever milks my goat at the time (as long as it's not, you know, killing people, torture, stealing, things like that). Book characters often change my life...

I would ditto this. I was a teacher for nearly a decade, and a very loud, bubbly, "fun" teacher at that. I never had trouble being on stage and speaking or performing to large audiences either. To this day it's difficult for people to believe I'm an introvert. I don't think being extroverted...

I love lists and organizing, I just rarely keep them or use them.

Oddly this reminds me of Candide by Voltaire.

By this definition I do not live authentically, but I do more so than I used to. I went from spending a lot of my life in a job just because I wanted to prove people wrong, a relationship that told me where I could/n't go, what I could/n't wear and do, who I could/n't see, when I should/n't...

This is one of my coping mechanisms. I coped with the suicide of one of my best friends by not thinking about him and by eventually shutting out his family. I cope by dis-attachment sometimes too. After my grandparents died, I only cried when I was thinking about them with regards to my wants...

Your approach was quite different on the INTJf...

We had a day or two notice I think for evacuation, but people are honestly refusing to evacuate. People think they can weather it out. The dramatic is to try to persuade them to actually evacuate. Yeah, I love chasing storms. I think they're beautiful.

Yes, and the way it currently works makes it more of a contest of who has the better marketing, not the better product.

The hurricane is past Haiti I think... Hundreds dead, over 30,000 homes destroyed... I'll search for more. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-37582009 The link and snippets above were posted 7 minutes ago. It might not soon. :(

Sort of. They are clips from a news station. The guy is being really... different about it though. Saying things like, "This moves 20 miles that way, and you and everyone you know are dead. All of you. (...) And your kids die too." Along with some other eloquent warnings and updates.

No problem, sorry it didn't work. I know replies aren't always on topic, but it was getting way off and didn't show signs of circling back. It was an interesting topic you posted.

He giggled? Make a move woman! *On another note he might really like you but he could be afraid. So don't take what might feel like rejection as total rejection.

Did you shoot the rubber band back? That's pretty important information here.

Also, I tend to skip posts that are really long and aren't either directed at me or aren't a topic I'm interested in lol

Oh! Well it should all be posted on the thread screen... Is yours not? Sometimes with long posts I hit quote and delete as I read. Makes it easier. I scan them too if I'm just reading, but deleting as I go helps me a little bit.

Hi there... I'm not sure what you mean, but I'll try to answer the best I can. Do you mean is there a way to read the whole thing of what? My post? Everyone's post?

Thanks!

Yes. There's an 'add to contacts' option and an 'add to ignore list' option.

What is the purpose of adding someone as a contact? Thanks.

You mean that doesn't turn you on?

I dunno... I've seen some beautiful human bodies that didn't look like mole rats to me. :) Some apes are cute too lol

:ahh04:

I think there are the tools, people are just lazy. They don't want to research and the amount of information is staggering. I tried looking for a particular political speech line today and it was a nightmare... so... much... sorting... There's a lot of BS to weed through along with all of the...

Oh cool! I'm not going to get to visit Paris next summer. From Nice I'm heading to Italy instead of up to Paris. I'm in Colorado, USA. Have lived on the western and eastern half of the state.

Thank you :) I enjoy your posts. What general part of France are you in, if I may ask? I'm going to Nice next summer and I'm very excited!
