Back in Philly and already lovin it!

Also, I've decided that my Blogger blog will now become my principle blog, so update your links everyone (if you have them...) http://cavelector.blogspot.com
And remember, you don't need to be a Blogger member to leave comments on this one!


 
the Questioner
Test finished!
you chose CY - your Enneagram type is SIX.

"I am affectionate and skeptical"

Questioners are responsible, trustworthy, and value loyalty to family,friends, groups, and causes. Their personalities range broadly from reservedand timid to outspoken and confrontative.

How to Get Along with Me

  • Be direct and clear.
  • Listen to me carefully.
  • Don't judge me for my anxiety.
  • Work things through with me.
  • Reassure me that everything is OK between us.
  • Laugh and make jokes with me.
  • Gently push me toward new experiences.
  • Try not to overreact to my overreacting.

What I Like About Being a Six

  • being committed and faithful to family and friends
  • being responsible and hardworking
  • being compassionate toward others
  • having intellect and wit
  • being a nonconformist
  • confronting danger bravely
  • being direct and assertive

What's Hard About Being a Six

  • the constant push and pull involved in trying to make up my mind
  • procrastinating because of fear of failure; having little confidencein myself
  • fearing being abandoned or taken advantage of
  • exhausting myself by worrying and scanning for danger
  • wishing I had a rule book at work so I could do everything right
  • being too critical of myself when I haven't lived up to my expectations

Sixes as Children Often

  • are friendly, likable, and dependable, and/or sarcastic, bossy, andstubborn
  • are anxious and hypervigilant; anticipate danger
  • form a team of "us against them" with a best friend or parent
  • look to groups or authorities to protect them and/or question authorityand rebel
  • are neglected or abused, come from unpredictable or alcoholic families,and/or take on the fearfulness of an overly anxious parent

Sixes as Parents

  • are often loving, nurturing, and have a strong sense of duty
  • are sometimes reluctant to give their children independence
  • worry more than most that their children will get hurt
  • sometimes have trouble saying no and setting boundaries

    All posts are being simultaniously posted on Blogger and on Xanga.  I'll do this until my premium runs out in october. No sense in not using it. Then I'll switch to blogger for good.

    * I must endure trivia night at a local bar with my brother, which wouldn't have been bad at all if he did not insist on making homophobic jokes all night.

    * I argue about various things with my brother's friend including choice, death penalty, the 'war on drugs', intelligent design theory in schools, and of course Iraq. I owned his ass. I hope he knows that.

    * I have to listen to my mother passive-aggressively attempting to have me read this bookshelf full of evangelical christian crap that she has installed in my former room.

    * Also have to endure my mother saying "let's move the furniture around" and then proceeding to (rudely) toss away all the ideas my dad threw out. Did I just miss this dynamic for the first 20 years of my life?

    * I want to be back in Phily NOW NOW NOW.

    As I get ready to leave for Alabama tomorrow (staying only for a week there), I an drawn into working out my blog stuff and have discovered Blogger truly for the first time.  I am serious considering dropping Xanga and switching over there.  Let me know what you guys think of  the current layout of  my blog over there.

    Advantages of Blogger:

    1. WAY more customization options.
    2. More connection to the blog sphere
    3. Skins that are BETTER than Xanga's WITHOUT having to pay for them.
    4. The ability to host trackbacks
    5. Oh, and you don't have to be a member to comment on people's sites.

    So...thoughts?
