Busy, fast and complete. Home and alone and OK. Time was congested and pure. I left early, as usual.

I don’t like big parties. I get overwhelmed with information and I’m not built to ignore things, so “tuning out” in a new situation is almost impossible. If I close my eyes, my ears merely grow. If I just ignore everything, it would seem pointless to be there.

I told my “date” I was going to leave and she sort of rolled her eyes and said “fine.” You know, in that way. I know she’s going to call or text later to try to meet up.  But I’m not sure I’ll respond.

I’m a bit preoccupied right now. Last weekend I learned that my official MBTI is INFP. There have been no suprises within just about every description I’ve read so far, save for a few blips here and there.

INFP

For those of you who know me well, go ahead and read the profile and let me know if there is congruence. In addition to the short wikipedia entry (linked above), I’ve found there are tons of other, similar and more detailed descriptions.

The official MBTI description is here. If you search around you’ll find plenty of others of varying depths of interpretation. INFP descriptions differ by gender, too.

INFP on the Keirsey role variant metric , and here.

Though it’s somewhat uncomfortable to know how much of my “self” is categorizable, I really can’t say I disagree with most of what I’ve seen so far. It’s a scale, of course, and everyone is a little bit of everything, but overall my location on the metric seems mostly right.

One thing that is not represented, though, is my penchant for physicality and sometimes risk– either in fighting and battle or other things. I yearn for intensity in almost all areas, but the INFP types described here seem more removed from that side of life. I do have a pretty intense inner-directed life, but my physical self is an extremely important part of me.

So. There’s that. Not sure.

I added a new menu item, check it out.

While building it, I thought of mom. Yes you’re family, just a different kind.

It’s true.
