Ok so tomorrow I’m going to be meeting in the flesh an INTP who I’ve previously only typed to across the internet. I’m filled with a sense of anticipation and nerves. It’s not the fact that I’ve been discussing my inner thoughts with this girl who I’ve never met nor that she’s a stranger in person coming to my home. It clicked into place a couple of days ago.. I get like this around all those of a particular type. They’re all 5s! Read More

Ok so as many know I’m building a new computer. I’ve tried to research the parts for this system as well as I know how to try to head off the problems which I encountered on the last build (namely the thing was never stable from the get go and is sluggish for what it should be able to achieve). This time I even shelled out the premium to get an Intel chip as many had said that this made for less problems and a quicker machine.
I now have most of the parts I need in my house (aside from the bloomin case to assemble it all in which is proving to be less than cooperative in turning up in due order!) and I’m going through it all with a fine tooth comb to try and head off any problems. Read More

Ok so after having to reformat my PC twice last weekend and twice this weekend just gone, I’ve been thinking a lot about it. Now I’ve had to search around a bit for some of these solutions and hell it never hurts to spread the news.
Right well firstly my pc is not a standard computer. Handcrafted from the finest products and finished with loving blah, blah, blah… Read More

I forget how the conversation started, I think it was a discussion regarding my enneagram type and how it can conflict with my MBTI, but my father gave me a new test to take. It’s called FIRO-B. The promises made by this test are as follows
Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation & Behaviour (FIRO-B)
FIRO-B provide scores that estimate the levels of behaviour you feel comfortable with in the interpersonal areas of Inclusion, Control and Affection. There are two scores for each of these 3 areas:-
a) the level of behaviour you feel most comfortable exhibiting towards other people (expressed behaviour).
b) the behaviour you want from other people (wanted behaviour).

Cylical.
I seem to be once again following my standard format. I have a period of not much happening, not much stress at work, no real commitments of my time. I begin to feel all friendly and start chatting to everyone and their dog, especially their dog. Then tiredness begins to creep in, work stacks up and I want to make things simple again. I need the time which I spend on myself (probably not absolutely as we are all indulgent to one degree or another), I need it to refresh, to recharge, to relax and reset myself so I’m ready for more. So when tired I want to make things simpler in teh most direct and immediate fashion, I shut down, close off, retreat and say nothing. It never truely works as I just end up feeling bad for those I’ve let down and stopped talking to. It makes me try doubly hard to get back into their graces and often lands me with more commitments than before.
I only have a certain capacity for commitments and then I need time to myself again, to recharge and get back some of that energy which I have poured so willingly into people. If only I felt justified in doing so, if only I didn’t feel responsible for so much.
Ahh to be a wealthy recluse. That’d be nice.
