I'm an ENTJ

Your Mood: You are probably feeling overwhelmed at the moment. It is as if you have too much on your plate and need time out. Perhaps you need a rest so that you can recharge your batteries; at the moment do not feel ready to take on more challenges. Focus and determined describes your present mood. You are out to achieve your goal and you concentrate on that. Unwavering you want to stick to the target of your ambitions, not completely to the exclusion of everything else, but almost! . . .

Your Present Situation: Your current situation isn’t challenging you at all. You are set in a routine and the result is that you’re feeling boxed-in and closed off. You’re craving freedom, yet you’re unaware on how to change the present situation. This is causing you to remain in your humdrum routine.Your current situation is causing you a great deal of angst. Somehow you have become over-involved in something that is leading to feelings of stress and doubt. You are at risk of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. . . .

Your Conflicts:

You are prone to feelings of discouragement and powerlessness. You worry about the future and try to avoid future disappointments by being aware of any potential problems. This keeps you in a highly stressed mood that only adds to the sense of discouragement. A reliable partner can make a big difference in your life. . . .

Thank you, CG. I wonder why we're all so damned interested in what strangers have divined us to be.
How will I ever save the world from a sixteen-ton weight now?

do I stress you out
my sweater is on backwards and inside-out and you say
how appropriate


I am listening to Alanis Morissette. And my hair is eversoslightly eversolightly purple? And it's almost hallowe'en, and I am feeling coldweather darkearly happycalm. In a twowordstogether sort of sixteen way. Yes.

Have you no wit, manners, nor honesty, but to gabble like tinkers at this time of night? - twelfthnight

Laura is reading Hers: Video as Female Terrain. Megan is reading White Oleander. I am reading old poetry that is not mine nor Marge Piercy; trying to write a response to it; not a poet. Think page 3 of section B third column down.

today is a lovely day to run
start up the car with the sun

packing blankets and dirty sheets
a roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
all the troubles you and i have seen

cross when the drawbridge light is green
don't look back to that messed up scene

packing blankets and dirty sheets
a roomful of dust and a broom to sweep up
all the troubles you and i have seen

and all our troubles will be gone
blowing out over that bridge
floating up into the sky
making the storm clouds cry

la da da da da
la la da da da da

put out that smoke and breath some air
get a new name and cut your hair

packing blankets and dirty sheets
a room full of dust and a broom to sweep up
all the troubles you and i have seen

Eels - Packing Blankets

Thank you for reminding me.
