Too Much INfo

Last week at work we had our Spring Party. It was basically a Traditional English Tea party with a mix of Alice in Wonderland.

I was choosen to be Cheshirecat.

I will never live this down.

INTJ

AS most of you don't know, but probably have guessed over the years I am an Meyer's Brigg's INTJ. Though the J part of it is only leaning (I have P qualities too, just more J qualities). Most you might not have known because I rarely really share much about myself here or any place else. This is a typical INTJ behavior. I also rarely answer the phone for isntance. While I'm not remotely a scientist, I am more of a technician and an anorak.

I tend to pretty private, I hate talking on the phone, I'm an information hound, disconnected, hate small talk, I prefer to work independently, despise schmoozing and easily reject attempts at manipulation. I love calling bullshit what it really is. At times amusing, but not to be taken seriously, and when it is, I want soo much to call it out. I actually like it when others call me on my bullshit as well, but I'm likely to return the favor. I'm also not fond of sociopath types of personalities (generally ESFP's) and will actively push them away from me.

I zone out on conversation that don't keep my attention. It's not really boring thing, but my mind can wander to things that higher up on importance to me at times like this. This is part of the J trait. It doesn't help that I rarely tell people what I find important though. Concerning my J part, I am and will generally always be more J about myself then I am about others. This one took me a while to figure out. So don't worry I'm rarely judging you, I'm far more likely to be judging me.

I tend to prefer the company of INTP's to any other Meyer Brigg's group. I also want and need my alone time. Now go away.

For Future REfernce . . .

being made to listen to any Abba song increases the chance that I will want to punch you in the face. That is all.

Irratable

For some reason I've been feeling irritable today. Work was fine, but not really fulfilling. Actually I haven't really felt fulfilled from work in over 10 years. I wonder what it's like.

Happy Holidays Part II

Not much to add, but another few days in Portland for Xmass. This year I had my portrait taken in large format in both a tintype and ferio type for my dear old mom. I had few paper copies made for the rest of the family.

The first is tintype and I have to say it came out rather dashing

This is the Feriotype, ya it doesn't look really that different then the tintype, but in real life you'd be seeing a mirror like effect and some faint other stuff depending on the angle you looked at these.

I spent an afternoon with the old rents and hung some old art of theirs too. Most of the rest of the family I gave cash too since they have a better idea of what they want then I know! Teh rest of my time was spent visiting friends of various sorts. On the down side this will be my last visit to Portland for a while as I'm need to save my money and vacation for this spring/summer period. Oh well.

Hope all is well with everyone otherwise.

Happy Holidays!

Tizz the holiday season, this time around I starting with a long trip to Portland for Thanksgiving. The drive was highly irritating to me as nearly everyone was driving in clumps of cars around slow moving big rigs. It could have been worse, such as snow or a lots of accident and similar crap, but still it was highly irritating. So irritating that I'm whining like a small kid over a week later. Anyway . . .

. . .my birthday is up next, followed by all those other seasonal holidays. Since it's mostly family that actually reads this, I thought I might post a few things I wouldn't mind getting as a gift.

Worshiping the Beast 2013

So, rally season (for me) is over. WTB is my end of year (scooter years that is) rally to attend. This year it was me, and maybe 12 others. *Sigh* That having been said, riding the delta is always fun, mostly since it's flat, it's colorful, it has twisties and I always break down. This year I did all the above and got lost too. Best yet is that completed about 90% of the ride before my bike went poop. We even ran into a Wizzer rally. Ya, Wizzer Here's a picture of a Wizzer I think they had less breakdowns then us. Anyway, that was Saturday for me. Sunday I drove back to Sacto for the Barber extravaganza. Mainly it's a lot of socializing and lots of home made pasta sauce. Definitely a fat kid type of day for me. Oh and lot of old italain vehicles (that run). Anyway., what few photos I took can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/filmtwit/sets/72157636529519214/with/10285009063/ Enjoy
