ESFJ

So this weekend was a lot of news for me.  Hung with new people, saw new places, hell I even ate new kinds of foods that I don't generally eat, but I loved it.  I loved the new, I loved the people, and it was a great distraction from the conundrums of life, whether it be a disagreement with a  friend that is a constant cloud cover to stresses of every day life, to job stress, to LIFE, it was nice to "get away" from it all.  Something else I did though was take a Myers Briggs personality test- something I have not done since I was in college which I think is something every one SHOULD take in college, and then again once they have had some life experience for example, turning 30.

In short ESFJ is Extrovert, and my score for that was 60%, Sensing, 75%, Feeling, 85% and Judging was 70%.  In long I am a people person, I have a strong desire to be liked, I am dependable, I have a strong focus on the details of life, I need approval from others to feel good about myself, I am hurt by indifference, I have a hard time accepting a difficult truth about someone I care about, I am extremely good at reading others, I often change my manner to be more pleasing to whoever I am around, highly in tune to my emotional environment and attentive to both the feelings of others and perceptions others have of me...and the list.goes.on.


Let me tell you this- this personality stuff is INSANELY truth!  I learned so much about myself in 20 minutes.  It makes so much more sense, I have such a better outlook to things that I put myself down for i.e. needing to be liked, needing assurance and approval.  These are a few things that I felt to be a weakness but now that I read this, I see the positivity.  It's who I am and there are just going to be some personalities that don't mesh with that.  After taking this I felt the urge to send it to all my friends and family, but held back as I knew they would be like, WTF MISTY.  But I will probably do that eventually.

Is it normal to still be figuring things out when you're 30?  To still compare yourself to others your age (even when you know you absolutely shouldn't) to be easily swayed by things people you care about say to you even when you know you don't agree?  To worry about what they think?  I hope so because I still feel like I am figuring it out and I don't know what it takes to stop, but maybe that is just life.  A constant learning and swirling around and climbing to reach new heights.  Each decade you enter into a new learning zone.  20s for getting out on your own and starting to be an "adult", dating, deciding what you want in life.  I am 9 months into my 30th year and I still feel like I felt when I was 29 minus the small amount of depression and feels I got when I did actually turn 30.  I have SO MUCH more learning to do.  I guess that is the point.  It is life.  But damn is it frustrating sometimes.

"What part of LA do you live in?" And Other Important thoughts and questions that go through my head

Oh me. Single as all get out, in the dating world, BIG TIME, not just a toe dipper, nope I am full on doused into the deep end of it.  Yes I am on Tinder, yes I am on Ok Cupid, and yes, I am too cheap to join Match/E-Harmony so I am going with the free ones...which has not proven to be worth it yet but can you complain when you aren't paying for anything....? The things I have stumbled upon, the people I have met, and the amount of drinks I have downed to get through some pretty horrendous dates are quite....interesting.  My last two blog posts can show you a little insight into that. Here are a small amount of things that go through my mind when I am gandering (it's a word even though this tells me it's not- I made it up apparently) at these so called "Dating Bios." How old is he...? Dating sites have filters mostly...unfortunately for Ok Cupid, anyone can message you- but it filters out the age you don't want from your viewing.  So this week for inst...

Rants and Rants and No Raves

Just some things that drive this girl batty- LA DRIVERS- Sometimes I think I need my own reality show (pause for hysterics) but seriously, like just when I am driving in my car.  Can we talk about Los Angeles drivers (literally as I typed that sentence I hear a symphony of car horns on the street below my office window) they are the WORST, although when I was in NYC I feared for my life in the cab, more then once....  BUT LA! I MEAN HOLY CRAP.  I am from Seattle- the traffic there is a fraction of the traffic here, and at the appropriate times- morning, and evening.  Traffic in LA happens at 7AM,  8am, 11am, 1PM, 3PM, 5PM, 6PM, 7PM, 8PM, and etc etc etc etc.  It is one of the main of a small amount of reasons I hate this city, the lack of transportation and how the geography is laid out.  If you live in West LA, and I live in East, you can forget hanging out until Saturdays or Sundays.  When I was on dating apps (SO glad those days are over...

Currently Edition 4

Oh hello!  My last Currently  was in December! My how time has flown!  Already 11 days into April.  OH and FYI, it's been 105 years since Titanic's maiden voyage (NERD ALERT, if you have read my past blogs, you know I am a Titanic fan) and on April 14, it's been 105 years since she sunk.  Since I was 11 I have been remembering this date as if it should be a national day on calendars, to remember. ANYWAY...April 11! So much has happened since December.  Work pace has picked up, I am heading 3 brand new, and time consuming projects that are actually SO MUCH FUN and I am loving them.  But...alas this is not a blog about my job, it's about the going on's in my life! Here goes nothing... Drinking This isn't really as exciting when it's not a festive time of year...but the usualy, coffee from the Keurig in the AM with almond milk.. TONS of H2O throughout the day, I think I spend equal amounts of time at my desk and in the bathroom because I have to go ...
