Personalities

Hey bloggy people! This is going to be my outside communication for the next couple of days. Why?? Because I am absolutely SICK of my phone buzzing and beeping. People be blowin' up mah phone, yo. I am very grateful to the friends who have been texting me, and I love you for it. I do. However, I am NOT a text person. (Unless it's from a boy that I think is suuuuper cute) and seeing as I love you guys, but not like that, I turned it off. It's been a peaceful evening of reading letters and watching this pretty awful series called Dance Academy on Netflix. It's an Australian show, and has probably the most obnoxious lead ever. But, her "side-kick" is wonderful.
Now! I want to give you all a bit of knowledge that Matty B dropped on me a few weeks ago. Yes, a few weeks ago. I am a busy busy person, and I don't live to please you all! Just kidding. I live for you guys, and I live to make you giggle and cry with me. (I'm getting there!) Anyways, we were having a discussion among our row. About boys. Mind you, there are only 2 girls on our row. Me, and Armadillo. (I don't have a legit nick name for her! I love her to death, but since I am pressed for time this evening, that will have to do for now! That is what all of the boys on our row call her anyway.) So, in my bitter, unlucky-in-love state of mind, was talking the D-ron. We were all speaking about changing. I said, no guys. Boys don't change. Matty B comes up with this little pearl of wisdom. "Boys don't change. Men do." And he said this as serious as the plague. I conceded because that, is true. I made a promise that I would post that little story on here, because he is quite proud of himself. Way to go!
As you saw by the title, I have been focused on personalities this week. I sort of feel like Bill Nye or some other child tv host. It's like a topic every time I blog, and man, I hope it teaches you guys some things! Like, be grateful you have your life, and not mine! Granted, I don't think I could live anyone else's life either. We all have our own trials that are hard for each person. That doesn't mean that we can't be grateful that we aren't dealing with certain things. That... was off topic.
Personalities! We each have our own! Some people are the clown, others are as dry as toast. But, we are who we are, human nature and all that. This week at work, we had a personality meeting to help us deal with customers more effectively. Let's be honest though, if someone is going to be a douche, we can't really do anything about that. I think that it is a great idea though! We took a test to find out which of the 4 personality types we are. Thinker, Controller, Feeler, and Entertainer. I was a feeler. This makes a lot of sense because people have to remind me to do what I want to do, and now that they want me to do. That also brings up some other attributes like kindness, and trying to keep the peace and not sir up trouble. We also have a tendency to blow up, when provocation is relentless, and regret the outburst later. If that isn't me, then I don't know what is.
I also had the opportunity to take the Color Test as well! The colors are Red, White, Yellow, and Blue. Red, would be the people who are all about business and facts. White, are the peace keepers and like to keep the waters calm. Yellow are the jokesters who love entertaining everyone else! Blue, are the people pleasers who try to do things for everyone else. My two colors are Blue and Yellow, followed closely by White, and then I had almost no Red. What can I say?? I have no need to be in control of other people. Unless it's children. Then I really want to be in charge.
Because of the personality test, it kind of opened my eyes to my behavior and others. It's crazy the way that people operate. (Also, this is totally unrelated, but I am in my room right now, talking to Netflix. And one of my room mates just got home. They probably think I am crazy.) Back to personalities. It's crazy. We were all trying to predict the type of personality that each other waas. And we were all wrong. You really probably don't know people as well as you think you do.
I am also struggling with another situation. Sort of the same as the previous one. One I am also not going to get into. But, I swear. One day I am going to just glue my hand to my forehead because it is there most of the time anyway.
Why, in the world, can I not find a guy that I like who likes me back? I mean, I really nice people who... offer? That's not a great word, but that make the advance, that I am just not attracted to. It is not something that is heartening. But, my sweet room mate said to me one night as we were talking about how some people are really really picky and they don't have the option (sort of like myself) and she yells at me," You have every right to be picky!! You are beautiful and look like Rachael McAdams!" It absolutely made my night. And I think about it every time I get sad or think what my sister tells me (Which is I am going to die old and alone if I don't stop being picky!). If someone else can see that in me, why can't I? Why can't all of us? Well, Red personality types probably do!
Any how! That is my full rant for the evening! Have a lovely night people and I hope you actually get to sleep! Because right now, that is all that I would like to do.
