Saving

[tabular_rasa]

This theme has come up a lot this semester. I often have fantasies about being near death, and being found just at the right moment and saved, usually by someone very important to me, particularly if I'm insecure about their feelings about me. I've encountered others who have a consistent pattern with this, too.

Conversely, however, there are just as many (if not perhaps more) of those who have equally vivid fantasies of saving others-- or perhaps specifically someone equally special to them.

. . . and some of you have no idea what on earth I am even talking about. You're welcome in the poll, too, however; you're part of the sample ^_^

It's not related to gender, but it might be related to dependence/independence or locus of control or something. I'm very curious, actually . . .

Your Holiday Personality is Caring

You like to reach out to people all year long, but you're especially giving during the holidays. Make those you love homemade presents (like cookies or scarves). Call someone who might be feeling a little down. Give to your favorite charity.

How Should You Spend the Holidays?

You Communicate With Your Ears

You love conversations, both as a listener and a talker. What people say is important to you, and you're often most affected by words, not actions. You love to hear complements from others. And when you're upset, you often talk to yourself. Music is very important to you. It's difficult to find you without your iPod.
