Weather and Personality Types

Today is stormy and wet and there is thunder, yet it’s still warm. This is my favourite weather along with spring and perhaps hot baked summer days in cold water. Wildness nourishes me. My friend has been trying to ‘type’ me recently. I’m not exactly sure what that means aside from the fact there are types of people according to some sort of personality test based on qualities and attributes. My friends are pretty excited about it though and I don’t mind them trying in the slightest, even though I think I’m pretty unique. I haven’t always fit sow well, and this case seems to be no different. They are struggling. One of them has decided I am a type I forget the name of aside from the fact rational is in the title and my friend has only come across two of them before, one of them being a teacher I have conflicted feeling about. Anyways, I was asked a bunch of questions and most of them seemed to fit in pretty well with my world view, so it’s not like this is completely inaccurate. One thing I was asked, or more like told, is that I need to be around people, a lot. It’s true, but here is also where I lose faith in these kinds of tests, because as much as I need to be around people, I also need nature, I need stars and lighting and wet grass. I need lakes and mountains and to get away from electronics every once in a while (ironic, seeing that I’m writing this on my laptop). I never feel more inspired then when outside. I never feel more at peace either. Today  I ran out on the wet lawn and danced like a little kid, spinning and prancing, and for a moment, when I glanced down at the placed I’d trampled the grass, I thought, there are impressions of joy. Basically, I’m glad it’s finally raining.

oh go away snow, summer is happy

I was experimenting with actually styling my hair when I went outside and it was promptly blown every which way by the afternoon wind.

Four Related Things

1. I am not subtle. I wear what I want. I am loud. I am bad at keeping most secrets. I like it this way, however it never really dawned on me before a friend pointed it out.

2. I think I’m forgetting how to use my words the way I like to. I want to write poetry again. I want double meanings and second thoughts that hit hours later. I want delicate references and concealed dreams. I need practice.

3. I got 91% on my English 12 provincial. Fantastic news, I love getting good grades.

4. Meaningful conversations have become more frequent lately. I appreciate this. I think I am getting better at putting feelings, thoughts and ideas in to words. I secretly thank my scholarship essays for this, and not-so-secretly thank my philosophy class.
