personal dna
this is what the test has to say about me. it is scarily true...
the realist:
Your attention to detail, appreciation of how things function, and awareness of the world around you make you a REALIST.
Routines are reassuring to you—you feel safer and more at ease when sticking with familiar things.
You like to stay close with those around you, seeking comfort from familiar faces.
You are interested in processes—how things work, what they do, and why—not just how things look.
Sometimes you doubt that you can find solutions to problems, although you have a good sense of why things happen, and can use that knowledge to find the best way to do something.
You are down to earth, concerned more with practical, detail-oriented things than with dreamy or ambiguous ideas.
You have a good sense of your abilities and weaknesses, and don't let your ego get in your way.
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
You do your own thing when it comes to clothing, guided more by practical concerns than by other people's notions of style.
Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.
the cautious:
Being independent, practical, and somewhat guarded with others makes you CAUTIOUS.
You tend to keep to yourself, wary of trusting others with personal information.
The values that you hold are central to your identity—you are a very principled person.
You have respect for the natural order of things, and a good sense of right and wrong.
Investigating the world through observation, as opposed to interaction, is preferable to you.
You have an appreciation for those who have attained a certain level of accomplishment, particularly the rare few who have succeeded honestly.
You are efficient—when you work with others, you get down to business, and fulfill your obligations.
You sometimes wish that others would be more like you—less hindered by their emotions, more respectful, and more private.
i was going to post a bit more of the internal torture but as usual, my life avoidance policy took over. i was going to tell you how my self, my health and my wealth are all in a total shambles and i'm just hoping that if i ignore everything for long enough, everything will just disappear, including me. after having a bowl of cereal for dinner, i had a chat with my mother - i finally told her a bit of how i've been feeling lately. this sort of discussion is not a strong point in my family so the conversation was a bit like talking about the weather. afterwards, i lay on the couch, cried for a while, watched some tv and now i think i'll be off to bed.

{{Hugs}} I wish I could say things to make it all better....the story of telling your mum how you feel and then sadness afterwards is all too familiar, I have a mother who doesn't really do "emotion" perhaps it's the australian way?
aw poor thing. hugs and hugs, if i had a big pile of coats for you to hide under i'd let you burrow in for a bit.
thank you ladies. you girls keep me going :)
clara, the idea of a pile of coats to burrow under made me seriously laugh out loud. it was such a comforting image and appealed to that surly inner child.
