True Colors...

funny how a stupid little online quiz nailed me so accuratley...

(go to www.colorquiz.com to take it for yourself. you'll be surprised.)

Here's my results:

Your Existing Situation

Needs, and insists on having, a close and understanding relationship, or at least some method of satisfying a compulsion to feel identified.

Your Stress Sources

The existing situation is disagreeable. Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the rank and file. Her control of her sensual instincts restricts her ability to give herself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow herself to merge with another. This disturbs her. as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; she feels that only by continued self-restraint can she hope to maintain her attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for herself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others.

Your Restrained Characteristics

Believes that she is not receiving her share--that she is neither properly understood nor adequately appreciated. Feels that she is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave her without any sense of emotional involvement.

Your Desired Objective

Her need to feel more causative and to have a wider sphere of influence makes her restless and she is driven by her desires and hopes. May try to spread her activities over too wide a field.

Your Actual Problem

Feels insufficiently valued in her existing situation, and is seeking different conditions in which she will have greater opportunity of demonstrating her worth.

Your Actual Problem #2

The fear that she may be prevented from achieving the things she wants leads her into a relentless search for satisfaction in the pursuit of illusory or meaningless activities.




what do YOUR colors reveal about you!?

one-man blank machine....

i found myself in a congested traffic situation today. during this 'situation'...which was out of anyone's control, I found myself blocking a car, which was blocking another car, which was blocking another car... I grew a bit agitated because i needed to be somewhere, not to mention so did every other car behind me. well, the jerk off behind me decided that she'd help the situation by honking endlessly at me. i looked in my rear-view mirror and made my stereotype of the two inexperienced teenage drivers, smoking, driving their beat up old truck, and it was obvious that it was more important for me to get where i was going than it was for them. (right? not.) anyways. in the midst of the loud drone of the horn behind me, furious, i threw up my 'not-so-jesus' finger, and continued to notify them that they were assholes. long story short, i had to go a little out of my way. One U-turn, 3 exchanged honks, and far more words than i care to share later, i was back on track to my destination. Once I had calmed myself down, i heard my radio calling me a name. (actually it was just the song) Train's newest, "One Man Wrecking Machine" was the song playing during this escapade.

it was the words to the chorus that got me thinking. "I am a one-man wrecking machine". So often I excuse my ill behavior by saying that I am just one person, my actions really wont mean a whole lot-afterall, i am just one person.

today i took on a new perspective. that one person driving the truck behind me held the power to potentially ruin my day. and she did for about 30 minutes. not only was she a one-man wrecking machine- but I was too. i had the choice to either wreck her day or make it. by freaking out and overreacting to a minor traffic inconvenience, i possibly wrecked her day too. so while i'm only one person. i still have the power to make or break someone's day.

each day we take on a renewing title of a one-man 'blank' machine, and it is our choice whether we will choose to be a wrecking machine, or (in my best attempts to come up with an oppositte of wreck, all that came to mind was love-which left me with 'love machine' which was funny to me...but for lack of a better word, work with me) ...we have the choice to be a wrecking machine, or a loving machine. (still funny, i know) in our single-personness, one-manness, we hold the power to change something-change someone.
