Celebrate numbers! They're lining up! Yeah!

 

[LucasM]

Darn. I missed it.

 

[snowqueen]

Darn. I missed it.

Not if you're in the uk - you can celebrate in August instead!

 

[brain enclosed in flesh]

Darn. I missed it.

Huh? this is on wednesday, or in august as snow queen points out. (Okay, so I just had to look at the calendar to make sure.)

This reminds me of my daughter's favorite joke-

Why was 6 afraid of 7?

Because 7 8 9!

 

[snowqueen]

why is this in siberia?

 

[flow]

Because I had no idea where else to put it.

Because I had no idea where else to put it.

oh right - well seeing as it's in siberia anyway I won't feel bad about going totally off-topic. I notice that your TF functions are very close to each other - so are mine - so I wanted to ask you whether you've wondered if you are INFP at times?

I personally know 100% that I am INTP not INFP but wondered if that was the same for you, and if so, why?

 

[flow]

I don't feel 100% INTP, but I relate to the INTP description more so than the INFP description. I'm borderline INFP and I've basically always been on the edge. I love being an introverted intuitive perceiver...be it feeling or thinking...I'm basically both. :/

 

[snowqueen]

Yeah - that's interesting. I think I could be mistaken for INFP sometimes but for me the real clincher is that when I'm under stress I will resort to Ti every time. Also I don't really care about personal criticism - at school I was more upset about being left out and feeling 'different' and 'misunderstood' than I was by the cruel words - I could deal with those with my razor sharp tongue. Similarly with my mother who was intensely critical (still is) of me - it wasn't so much the criticism that hurt, it was the feeling of rejection of who I was (she beat me when I argued back at her).

 

[flow]

That's messed up. I have an INTP father who is entirely too detached for his own good, and an ESFJ mother who rarely understands anything. Both of them annoy me in their own way, but I love both of them at the same time. I can't take criticism AT ALL. Whenever anyone has anything harsh to say about me I want to just die... meanwhile, I have no problem criticizing others. I'm such a hypocrite. And yes, I too live in Ti.. with extreme Ne to the point I freak people out. My ENFP friend is constantly telling me to GET OUT OF HER HEAD. Hehehe.. I can't help it. I also have weekly mood swings that drive me insane. Depressed, On top of the world, depressed, repeat. Oh the life of an introverted intuitive is not an easy one. Not that I'm saying others have it easier, but it'd be nice to not have to painstakingly think about every little tiny detail of everything, always.

you know that that it is the 7th month not 8th right?

 

[brain enclosed in flesh]

^^ wait, did I just write this? (Except I'd say my parents are IXTJ and ENFX. And thanks to the wonders of modern medicine I no longer have the mood swings.)

EDIT: Oh, damn, this was a response to flow's.

If you don't mind my asking, flow, where are you in Iowa? I'm a cornhusker myself.

 

[flow]

I currently reside in Fort Dodge, Iowa (my hometown). I moved to Cedar Falls for school but eventually dropped out and came back. I'm plotting an escape to Portland as soon as I find the means to do it. And if you don't mind MY asking, what drugs are you taking that help stabilize your moods??? I took antidepressants for almost a month, and decided it didn't help. The only way I can see myself not going through mood swings is by turning my brain off entirely.

 

[brain enclosed in flesh]

lamictal is the drug. It's a mood stabilizer/anti-seizure med. I'm on a very low dose (50mg). I was on a higher one but it made me drowsy and stupid and my short term memory was abysmal, which made me depressed in a different sort of way. I still have mood swings but they aren't as intense as they used to be. Now they're livable.

 

[snowqueen]

not in the UK - we write it the other way round. The correct way. Days are smaller than months are smaller than years.

 

[Beat Mango]

I just re-started on Zoloft, 100mg, after two years of not being on it.

back on to OP:

other exciting dates!

My very mathematical daughter is super excited because the 2011 date is her 19th birthday!
