Quizzes from Pamela. . .

Hey, Pamela, we are both 'Sonnets'!! I thought that it was funny that out of 32 results and after answering *8* pages of questions we turned out to be the exact same thign. Weird.

I am, however, not a 1. ;) I'm usually a 6, but today was a 4. . .?!

the Romantic Test finished!

you chose BY - your Enneagram type is FOUR. "I am unique" Romantics have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive. How to Get Along with Me Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me. Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself. Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision. Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little. Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting! What I Like About Being a Four my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level my ability to establish warm connections with people admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor being unique and being seen as unique by others having aesthetic sensibilities being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me What's Hard About Being a Four experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved feeling guilty when I disappoint people feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me expecting too much from myself and life fearing being abandoned obsessing over resentments longing for what I don't have Fours as Children Often have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original game s are very sensitive feel that they don't fit in believe they are missing something that other people have attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc. become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce) Fours as Parents help their children become who they really are support their children's creativity and originality are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings are sometimes overly critical or overly protective are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed Renee Baron & Elizabeth Wagele The Enneagram Made Easy Discover the 9 Types of People HarperSanFrancisco, 1994, 161 pages You are not completely happy with the result?!

The Sonnet Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDf)     Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?     Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance. Your exact opposite: Genghis Khunt Random Brutal Sex Master     Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.     You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.

Interesting stuff...

[songofjoy02.livejournal.com]

I think the descriptions in the first thing fit you very well, and I'm especially eager to see how it plays out in your parenting when the time comes. I think it's quite true that you'll help your children become who they really are instead of forcing them to fit a certain ideal.

As for the sonnet, that shouldn't be a big surprise...;-) We're probably more similar in that regard than I ever realized simply because I haven't really seen your thoughts at all on this until recently.=D

I think it's interesting since I have always, always, always been a 6. But the description for a 4 does fit me very well, much to my surprise.

LOL! I very much disliked the part about parenting style! ;) It makes it sounds as if all my kids will be gay democrats. ;) you are assuming I'll have kids and we will still be in contact when I do, eh? Interesting assumptions. . . I can't imagine ever 'ditching' you, but having children sounds very frightening to me! =0

Yeah. I've had thoughts on romance, etc forever, but only now am I willing to share them, and even then it's only with a select few (those who read promiseofpeace, duh), even though I'm sure people who read manadajanie get a gist of what my thoughts are on romance! :)

Haha...I don't think the way it sounds is as it would be, though. I'm just thinking of the contrast with what you've observed at home in parenting.;-) Of course I assume we'll be in touch WHEN you have kids.;-) I don't know if it will really happen, but it would be rather odd to assume otherwise.

I have figured you did have some thoughts on romance, but you never seemed too inclined to share them.=D But it's just as well, perhaps. Haha. I would have done well to keep my thoughts to myself, probably.

I'll probably be so eager to NOT be like my mom that I'll be a total Wuss Parent. ;)

Of course I assume we'll be in touch WHEN you have kids.;-) I don't know if it will really happen, but it would be rather odd to assume otherwise.

can't my husband have the kids instead?! LOL Bearing children and going through labor are not quite my idea of fun. Not that I have to worry about that any time soon, but yeah. hopefully hubby will be content to start off with orange cats and a golden retriever as 'the kids' for a year or two or three at first.

Yeah, I have definite thoughts on romance. ;) But now with so many guys interested in me, it's on my mind more, something I've been seriously thinking about more, etc. And that's why it ends up in my LJ!

It's a-me, Matteo!

Hey, Matt!! I've been sick ever since I left Ft. Lauderdale, but I did manage enough energy tonight to get online. I read your email and will reply tomorrow. :) It's only 9:37pm here right now, but I'm exhausted, and going to bed.
