Ducklings and swans
Well, maybe it can begin like this. With a haircut. Maybe I can start getting that girl back. The girl who liked nice clothes, who enjoyed them as an expression of herself. I don’t even need to buy anything - it’s already there. I just have to get proper spring/autumn clothes out of storage. I just have to iron some things which need ironing (I ( Read more... ) -
Hair
Have just been to the hairdresser - finally! I am not at all sure I am liking the new cut so far. What it is with the haidressers’ passion for parting hair in the middle? Try to get them to do it to the side - they’ll do it, like, half a centimetre to the side. And I am also not sure about male hairdressers. But… whatever ( Read more... ) -
Soul on fire
One area where I cannot relate to the sx-lasters is their vision of an ideal romantic relationship. The descriptions seem to grate in a most peculiar way, even when done totally in earnest. They completely lack one vital quality - intensity. Without it everything is barren, papier-mâché. I mean, this is love. I do not need to be comforted, I do not ( Read more... ) -
On being pedantic
Got accused of being "too damn pedantic" again today. This time in real life, by my supervisor, half-jokingly. Well, I guess I am. But how does being pedantic mentally co-exist with such a laissez-faire approach in the physical world much of the time?
I remember getting 10/10 for “organisation” on the tickle.com brainteaser. There were no ( Read more... ) -
The broken fairytale
I guess I don’t believe in ‘happily ever after’. It’s that simple. No, not in the way many people say they don’t believe in it but secretly yearn for it. I mean it doesn’t fit into my head on a subconscious level. It just seems to have little to do with reality somehow - at least for someone like me.
Part of it might be childhood experience. ( Read more... ) -
Personality theories - a subjective view
A personality theory is essentially a kind of mental toy to play with. I have noticed myself being more drawn to those which provide a beautiful system structure and a self-contained functional model to tinker with. Тhere is one in particular created by people in love with internally harmonious speculative constructions which can be extrapolated ( Read more... ) -
О нахождении вещей
Нужен сыр. Пошел. Открыл холодильник. Задумчиво посмотрел на место (пустое), где он обычно лежит. Закрыл холодильник. Ушел назад. «Так, чего-то все-таки не хватает, гм... Ах, да, сыр же нужен!» Пошел назад. Открыл холодильник. Стоишь. Стоишь. Стоишь. «Отставить стоять и тупо пялиться в открытый холодильник!» Закрыл. Поразмыслил малость. «Сыр!!!!» ( Read more... ) -
Уряяя!
Меня похвалили! Похвалили! Похвалили!!!
Нет, я - не совсем идиотка, вы не думайте. Я ценю похвалу своим литературным способностям только от людей, которые, по моему мнению, сами писать умеют. Но приятно узнать, что мы отвечаем друг другу взаимностью. -
Размышления типоведа со стажем
Типологии личности - это такие игрушки для ума. Я против них ничего не имею, наоборот - люблю на досуге позабавиться. Но меня в очередной раз заставили задуматься наблюдения над тем, как именно они применяются некоторыми людьми.
Типологии становятся опасными, когда они начинают приобретать оценочный оттенок: одним типом быть хорошо и престижно, а ( Read more... ) -
Grrr....
People suck. Majorly. Just a general observation.
P.S. Why does the mood thingie never have the words I am actually after, but has a bunch of other totally superfluous ones instead?
