Comforting Thoughts
I’m not quite sure what to think of these “Famous People With Your Personality Type!” lists, but it can be kind of inspiring.
Annie Dillard, whose novel An American Childhood I am now reading and enjoying, is allegedly an INFP, and so was Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of my favorite series of books as a girl, Little House on the Prairie.
There’s also a list of fictional...
Just how do I make myself grow up faster?
This house is maddening!
I get distracted by reflections off of this laptop screen.
Why haven’t the two professors I contacted about writing me letters of recommendation responded to me yet, in any form?!
I haven’t eaten enough today.
And Wii Zumba songs are stuck in my head. Phooey.
AHHHHH. AH. AH. AH.

I am trying to get myself addicted
to endorphins. But see, I’ve always been terribly athletically inept and very self-conscious about this. I’m also hyperaware of my body’s aches and pains—I have lower back pain a lot (because I actually do have mild scoliosis), my left knee is not happy ever when I run, and… rib subfluxation when running, oh, so painful.
But! In light of this!
I like canoeing, I...

I'm an INFP.
I also have just learned that INFP-ers are overly represented in the populations of people suffering from depression and people with ADD. Curious!

I am kind of amused that Facebook advertising seems to believe I am Jewish and have a baby.

I am going in February to visit the College of the Atlantic!
Erica is super cool. She’s thinking about becoming a hippie.
Contrary to popular belief, I suppose, adopting hippie-like practices gives me a greater sense of fulfillment, purpose, and control. Becoming a hippie is good for my mental health.

From lunch: Older Sister
My older sister has started hostessing at a fancy restaurant in Lexington, part of group of other fancy Lexington restaurants. She gets a good discount, and she has been pushing for us to visit one of these establishments with her. She asks us out today, we decided to meet up at 1:30 because she must work at 4. She shows up after two, which peeves me (and our waiter, I can tell.) She’s...
Fathers, College
I don’t know for sure, but I have a little hint (in the form of a winky face, like so: ;) ) that I may be headed for you-know-where in February. My sister is convinced that the winky face tells all, that I’m going. Ah, but we shall see!
Anyway, I mention this in passing to my dad, while I’m making summer rolls.
He says he thinks I would be better off going to our nearest...

depressive realism
success, yes, in this family, in this posse of women, a lot does rest on the wrangling of menfolk in order to become housewives and have babies.
Now, you all would clearly take me for a liar if I said I had no such interest in these things. I want babies. I would love to have the luxury to be a housewife. (Or really, if I were a full-time housewife, it would be more a way of me very much...
late at night I do have crazier thoughts but the house is so blissfully quiet.
I am so afraid of “success.”

Recommendations
I feel so very odd and awkward asking professors and acquiantances to pen me letters of reference and recommendation—which may explain why I haven’t yet.
In high school, I took for granted that virtually every teacher I ever had would write me a glowing review. Now, when I think back to my college professors, I feel like I can barely guarantee their remembrance of me, nevermind, you...
