Quizzes and Neil and The Wrong Season-al Depression

[tabular_rasa]

You scored as Jean Grey. Jean Grey is likely the most powerful X-Man. She loves Cyclops very much but she has a soft spot for Wolverine. She's psychic so she can sense how others are feeling and tries to help them. She also has to control her amazing powers or the malevolent Phoenix entity could take control of her and wreak havok. Powers: Telekinetic, Telepathic </td> Cyclops 75% Jean Grey 75% Nightcrawler 70% Rogue 60% Storm 60% Beast 55% Colossus 55% Emma Frost 45% Wolverine 40% Iceman 35% Gambit 30% Most Comprehensive X-Men Personality Quiz 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com

Aww, I manifest Freudian Psychology (Phoenix=Id, anyone?), lol . . .

You scored as Water. Water is the element that predominates in your life. Water rules the signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. </td> Air 80% Water 80% Earth 65% Spirit 65% Fire 55% Which of the Five Elements are you? created with QuizFarm.com

(Since when has "Spirit" been an element? Even in the Chinese tradition of five elements, the fifth element is metal, I do believe . . . )

You scored as Romeo. A poet and a romantic at heart, as well as somewhat naive, you just want to live your life and have someone to love. When you fall in love, you fall fast and hard, but you often find yourself the victim of circumstances beyond your control. </td> Romeo 75% Hamlet 67% Brutus 50% Othello 46% King Lear 42% Macbeth 25% Which Shakespearian Tragic Hero Are You? created with QuizFarm.com

You scored as Billy Budd. You are Billy Budd. Pretty, envied, adored, stuttering, and yet executed for killing a guy everybody thought was a jerk anyway, you have a very tragic end. They don't hang you the nice way either. </td> Billy Budd 70% John Lennon 65% James Dean 55% Raskolnikov 50% John Keats 50% Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker 40% Citizen Kane 35% Who is your Tragic Alter Ego? created with QuizFarm.com

Goodness . . .



Trying the Readers' Digest style today since this is mostly complaining . . .

Tiffany just left a couple hours ago (I woke up in time to see her off, and then went back to sleep, lol . . . ). I am sore-- from tubing and from monthliness . . .

So now it's back to sitting around the house again, lol :-P at least the weekends will be nice-- they're looking to be so, anyway-- up at the lake. Though I will get sick of the lake, too, when I am up there full-time and without workable Internet. I enjoy the lake, but I just can't be always active, always doing lake stuff, all day, everyday-- which Neil has a hell of a time understanding when I am watching him up there, as Neil is always, always, always doing something, and he always wants me to do it with him, and then tells my parents if I don't and they get mad at me. It's quite positively annoying, actually; he doesn't need me, but, since I'm there, and he knows he can manipulate around me like that, he does. I mean, the entire school year, he comes home, he jumps on the trampoline, he plays basketball and baseball by himself. I'm all willing to throw a ball around with him for a couple hours, but then he pulls ridiculous crap like, "Throw this can of soda (oh no, have I lost "pop?") into the lake and I'll go get it over and over again, you know, for the next three or five hours while I splash you over and over again, and, no, you're not actually allowed to come in." He picks precisely what I don't want to do. I guess it's mostly because we have vastly, grossly dissimilar interests, so maybe there really is no middle ground, but, sheesh, you'd think he'd at least look for some instead of just being a little tyrant?

I'm beginning to feel as if I am slipping into my summer hermit-ness. It does, arguably, make the summer go faster, but it's usually pretty damn detrimental come the fall. I just feel no motivation to go out and be social; I know I can go out and call people and get plenty of stuff together to do (all nearly most all of the time, in the world!), but I just feel so internally lazy about organizing these things. This is also a problem, as I have plenty of social stuff in plans that I need to organize by the end of the summer. I know why all of this is; for every summer of my whole life until I had a car, my family basically just *escaped* up to the lake, and I had no social interaction with anybody from my home environment for months-- just my family and the neighbors and the people I've known all my life from the lake, who are of a separate social sphere of my life from my school, activities, hometown, etc . . . Yet even on the Internet I get lazy; I just feel disconnected, and stop commented as frequently on people's journals or in my communities or respond to people's wall comments on Facebook, and just . . . cease to exist, socially, or something, in all realms. There are periods of days where I don't talk to anybody at all, except my family for a few hours, which, after the vast social environment of college, seems like some refined form of socially-depriving torture (since when did I become an extrovert?). It's like seasonal depression, only it isn't in the right season . . .

( . . . and I can tell just by the way I feel this is the case, even as Tiffany has been here and I have been social . . . just in a weird, sort of distant way, which makes me feel terrible . . . )

I should go catch up on my RPing in some of my communities and see if Alice wants to go for a walk again tonight, if it's not storming . . .

Edit (1:01 pm): Comments to Kidnapping Video on YouTube:
shannon6155 (8 hours ago): Oooo.. were watching you. C'mon. lol... knowone helped that girl cause she was a geek..
MurasakiNeko (5 minutes ago): Yeah, I bet she was. I bet she studies a weird language like Japanese and is ridiculously obsessed with Harry Potter. Maybe she actually knows how to spell "no one." What a whackjob.

Mmm, bitchplease . . .

I'm all for walking...although I may be made to go to St. Joe's commencement dealie at 7:00...grumblegrumble... I love Inez, but I have a distinct distaste for graduation ceremonies. Maybe later/earlier? Dunno.

Oh! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG if you EVER, ever, ever, ever, EVER want to do something with me PLEASE do! I'll walk aroud with you if Alice is unavailable (not that I live by you or anything... ay) or if Alice is available... or not walking at all... (Yes, I am a summer hermit too, but not by choice... last week, I went 4 days without ever leaving the house! GAAAAAAH! lol)

On another, less crazed note, do you want to go to the choir concert tomorrow at central with me? I was just interested in going, but it doesn't really matter.

I, as well, indulge in summer hermitage.

Bah. Let's get wild together! All three of us! ^__^

Sounds great :) You know, I usually like being a hermit as it comes with the territory of being introverted and socially awkward, but occaisionally I get a bit of a case of cabin fever, as is evident from my prior comment... lol. But yeah, definately let me know if you guys are up to getting together and want to invite me along...

[crazyaphrodite.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that was me,obviously, but whatever. My computer went insane, apparently.

I know what you mean by reverse SAD. I hate the sun so much, have such a fear of burning, and I don't do well in heat—summer is my least favorite season and I retreat to the cool or the indoors as well. For about as long as I can remember I haven't done summer vacations, even hung out with people, throughout the hot months. It's just not my thing.

It amuses my therapist, though, that's for sure. She'd never thought it possible until she met me.
