Do my eyes deceive me?

I'm just fine, sweetie. How are you? How is University shaping up? And, I never did get to read that poem you wrote that won a contest. . . probably because there exists more than one such poem.

Hiya sweet seducer of words!

I have that effect on people.

It was very 'burden of the white man,' arguing how technological superiority doesn't give one culture the right of completely exterminating another culture for specific gain. The fact, however, that a 'white man' was chosen to lead the tribe through, ironically, a military effort lends some weakness to this message and in my opinion, weakens the case for pacifism, breeding instead a 'shoot first, we shoot back' non-acceptance way of thinking.

I also disagree with the overly romanticized version of the aliens. It nearly chokes with old-school orientalism; just check out all of the Caucasians who are obsessed with Asians. I don't mean those with genuine respect and interest, but the ones who become so obsessed that they lose their own identity and begin placing a foreign culture on a pedestal. Avatar as a movie somewhat perpetuates this mindset as well.

There are others ....

It was very much anti-globalism. I'm not sure I agree too much with some of the other messages in the film.

Yes. Fun movie. Too linear. Felt like it was a fairy tale written by tree-huggers.

Sorry, my humor's incredibly sharp when I'm in this state. Can we talk later?

Don't worry about it.

Consequence of being a Type 1. We're apparently perfectionists.

You have IM or something?

I'm internalizing it. Venting the rest out to friends.

The majority of my stress gets internalized, compartmentalized, and filed away. I then reassess all situations that the situation has affected, and go on from there. Emotions just get in the way of that process, so I vent them out and away.

Just some stress. Lots of fun, fun, stress. I'm currently venting it as best I can.

Being Type 1 sucks.

My life just got wrecked from some bad news. Fantastic.

It's very apt to describe my behavior. The 'sweeping' would be the purges of people and social networks I perform once every few years, leaving only the closest confidants I have behind.

And it is always more efficient to 'deal with' than to 'change' for the short term, you are correct. However, in a long term perspective, 'change' is more efficient than 'deal with.' Plus, I'm a Type 1 Enneagram (1w9). You should know how we are about things like this. =)

..... your use of imagery is quite compelling, miss. I was an INFJ when I was a little kid, and then developed into an INTJ as I grew up. I see my NF side as being a bit naive and impulsive, but with the development of my tertiary and inferior functions, I am somewhat more accepting of it.

However, it's still detracting from my overall efficiency as a person. So yeah.

I go back in about two weeks; the 15th. I'm sort of looking forward to it, and not looking forward to it all at once.

As for me, my prime resolution is to deny my F side air until it suffocates and chokes itself to death. =)

Yesterday I happened upon a nest of homeless fellows drinking in the New Year in their door way, they serenaded me, and then proceeded to offer me group sex, no word can describe the repulsiveness of the suggestion, or at least none known to me. I respectfully declined but laughed all the way home. (No unfortunately I did not have any smokes to hand out either!)

Happy New Year to you as well Sakari!

Not so amazing, I was just easily able to aid someone with the current dilemma. Homelessness is not the main cause I justice, it is simply an symptom of that cause. Basically I offer a hand up or support to anyone who I think is open to and able to utilize that support positively, although I dare say they rarely understand where it is coming from, ah society, such a dysfunctional machine.

Did you teacher have you give smokes to the people who offered you there time? Just wondering, all my students would interview, photograph the homeless but always firstly gave them some smokes, it's a fair trade you see!

to be continued...

Aww! That's really sweet. I kind of wish I had a nice girl to chat with until 4:30 AM. =)

Just my mom, so I'm not too stressed. Been being super introverted these days to recover and prepare for spring semester. Started 2010 getting criticized by mom for being lazy. XD

Any 2010 resolutions?

Slept for 20 hours.

How about you? =) Fun times with family/SO?
