Have a good one!

I see... so you've seen the after-effects of DV... I love reading your posts, BTW...

I'm reading your last post before I took off right now... You said
"As weird as this sounds, I use my feelings even more than my mind. "
I was just about to say--- wow... I kinda figured you for the biggest T (as compared to an F)... and I looked back and you said you were an ISTJ... are you borderline T?

(further responding to your last post...) You know, I don't really feel them looking in on us. I want to kind of put that out of my mind, actually. I guess that's one thing about not getting any banners or fan sites--I'm probably one of the lesser-talked-about houseguests in here... which has made it easier for me just to relate to all of you as if we are in our own separate world (sort of...)

Hard core T!!

The feeling thing is needed to get the great affect--thinking gets you only part of it. Just knowing when to use which one. Most of the actions I take in the majority of life have been done through T. The resaons behind them are F. I'm weird--I have to admit it--I'm told that all the time! LOL

Thanks for the nice thought about my posts.

You said you wanted to respond to my questions--I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

(still responding to your last post :) ) Have i gotten anything out of it... Well, I've been thinking a lot about ArReal and the whole friday experience. I've thought about you and your insightful posts... I've thought a lot about myself, and what is ever possessing me to stay up nights and log on to chat with all of you... and I've thought a lot about my friends who, when I tell them about this experience, become ever more convinced that I should be institutionalized...!

For me, these are the type of experiences that I know I'll still be looking back upon 10 years from now. So yeah, I've basically gotten an experience of a lifetime so far, and I wouldn't pass this up for anything right now...

You know, so far in my life most of the people I click with on the deepest level have been T's... I sometimes wonder why because I am sooo extreme on the F scale. Maybe it's a complimentarity kinda thing, or maybe it's my desire to start using my brain more than my heart... God knows I've gotten into too much trouble making decisions based more on feelings rather than on reason--or not maintaining a good-enough balance between my feelings and my better judgement...

Well, I haven't told anyone I'm doing this, as most everyone already feels I should be put away!!

You bring up a great point about what you've gotten out of it so far...there are still 2 more weeks to go!!! Imaging what it would be like on BB for 90+days!!!! The experience one could build/create/take part in. I have to think this is minor compared to that potential...maybe it isn't though...this can be VERY intesnse.

While your thinking, can I suggest you also try feeling about all that stuff.

I always wonder why I can make a connection with some so well--and they've been all over the board on the type of person they are. It's a mystery to me so far. I do wonder if it may have more to do with where someone is at in their lives. I have afew experiences to show that is the case.

Our brain and heart!! Opposites, yet all the same person...and if you look at it objectively, both are nothing more than parts of a big electrical system.....yet we use them to create so much around us and within us. COOL!

I'm still responding... hehehehe!

But you can tell me one thing--have you ever delved into psychology? My exboyfriend was studying for a counseling psych degree... And just your well-rounded approach to things kinda made me wonder...

Opposites... you can say that again... You know, I've done pretty well in school, got pretty good grades... Could figure out a lot of stuff mentally when I set my mind to it. But when it comes down to the way I interact with others, and the decision-making process when dealing with issues that arise within my various types of relationships, it seems that any pragmatic knowledge I have goes flying out the window! I'll usually give in to what I'm feeling at the moment, whether that be elation, lust, jealousy, or the whole bit.

As for the interaction with people in this house... I don't know... Being that we're on the internet (and actually having to post our discussions rather than streaming chat), it's a different type of venue where I usually can think about what I'm about to say before my foot is already halfway into my mouth... :)

I took the required year long sequence at college for what was then my degree--well, it is my degree> I just had something else in mind as far as schooling. Got cut short by higher priorities. At the time, it ws my first majot failure in my life. It's lead me to a good job though.

After that, I just enjoyed it on my own terms, along with the "phiposophy of life" thing I mention frequently. <<hearing outsiders say, no shit--too frqeuently--lol>>

And you??

Or philosophy--sorry

The later it gets, the less I care! lol!

Well, believe it or not, my bachelors is in philosophy... i am a credit or 2 shy of a double major with philosophy and spanish, but i usually say I double majored anyway... grad studies in religious studies...

i feel like i had some education in counseling psych, though, because for 2 years, the apartment i shared with my ex was practically turned into a library of books on the subject... i've always been interested in it, but would probably study something less... um... emotional, were I to go back to school...

yeah, yeah... there's that word again... emotional...

I'm not bright enough to wait to think about it before posting. I do this pretty much the same as I do in life---respond while thinking about it. Sometimes I'll pause to give consideration--usually there is something there right away, so I just let it go. I also write the way the words come out in my mind--very strange sometimes. advantages/disadvantages!! lol

It sounds like you are learning from what you've been through!! What more can you ask of yourself???? Look at all those out there that, at least by actions, don't seem to be too successful at that sometimes.

and so i have a ba in philosophy and i live in silicon valley... what the heck is philosophy good for in silicon valley? lunctime conversation... that's about it...
but the more i interact with people, believe it or not, even in corporate america with the high-tech office politics and shit like that... i'll remember what some of those crazy minds said once upon a time... and laugh to myself -- of course making everyone stare at me in confusion...

With that background, you must be having a great time thinking back to some of what you learned or experienced!! May well explain your posts that go well below the surface of things like you've been there lots before!

Religion and philosophy---are they that much different from each other?? lol
