Ok... so now i am going to blog for real. All my postings as of late have been about all the goings ons in my life. Today I as just at work, last night i was just at home chillin', it was nice!
I felt sleepy all day. And on my lunch break I went to caribou coffee and got some minty mocha thing. I am buggin' now... meaning I can't have caffeine cause it makes me looney tunes. Usually I ask for half-caf. I forgot today. My cousin and I have this joke about my mom and coffee. Anytime we talk about having coffee, we say, "Is it decaf?" because my mom always asks that at family get-togethers. Now if one person can't have caffeine its my mom! she gets looney to the max. Just ask my brother about the time we were watching Misery and my mom had a spaz attack. It was funny. I'm writing this, not because I am making fun of my mom, but I'm about ready to have a spaz attack from all the caffeine i drank today. Ok I gotta go... I can't concentrate. SPAZ ATTACK!

Dayton's (Macys) Annual 8th Floor Holiday Display

(Every November for the last four decades, the downtown Minneapolis store on Nicollet between 7th and 8th Streets that was long known as Dayton's, and is now Macy's, has put up an animated exhibit/mechanical holiday display in its eighth floor auditorium. Each year the exhibit features scenes from a popular children's story: The Wind in the Willows was one year; Santa Bear another; Harry Potter another. Some stories repeat for a new generation of children. The displays are designed to delight and entertain young children, from those in strollers to those learning to puzzle out the words on the panels for themselves.)

Merry Christmas Wreath

INFP, Me, Mary mother of our Saviour and E.T.

INFP

you can see what you are at http://similarminds.com/jung.html

Profile by David Keirsey
INFPs present a calm, pleasant face to the world and are seen as reticent and even shy. Although they demonstrate a cool reserve toward others, inside they are anything but distant. They have a capacity for caring which is not always found in other types. They care deeply-indeed, passionately-about a few special persons or a cause. One word that captures this type is idealistic. At times, this characteristic leaves them feeling isolated, especially since INFPs are found in only 1 percent of the general population. INFPs seek unity in their lives, unity of body and mind, emotions and intellect. They often have a subtle tragic motif running through their lives, but others seldom detect this inner minor key. The deep commitment of INFPs to the positive and the good causes them to be alert to the negative and the evil, which can take the form of a fascination with the profane. Thus INFPs may live a paradox, drawn toward purity and unity but looking over the shoulder toward the sullied and desecrated. When INFPs believe that they have yielded to an impure temptation, they may be given to acts of self-sacrifice in atonement. The atonement, however, is within the INFP, who does not feel compelled to make public the issue.
INFPs prefer the valuing process over the purely logical. They respond to the beautiful versus the ugly, the good versus the bad, and the moral versus the immoral. Impressions are gained in a fluid, global, diffused way. Metaphors and similes come naturally but may be strained. INFPs have a gift for interpreting symbols, as well as creating them, and thus often write in lyric fashion. They may demonstrate a tendency to take deliberate liberties with logic. Unlike the NT, they see logic as something optional. INFPs also may, at times, assume an unwarranted familiarity with a domain, because their global, impressionistic way of dealing with reality may have failed to register a sufficient number of details for mastery. INFPs may have difficulty thinking in terms of a conditional framework; they see things as either real or fancied, and are impatient with the hypothetical.
