the Observer Test finished!

you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE. "I need to understand the world" Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful. How to Get Along with Me Be independent, not clingy. Speak in a straightforward and brief manner. I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts. Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable. Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity. If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place. don't come on like a bulldozer. Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy. What I Like About Being a Five standing back and viewing life objectively coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure not being caught up in material possessions and status being calm in a crisis What's Hard About Being a Five being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally Fives as Children Often spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on have a few special friends rather than many are very bright and curious and do well in school have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information assume a poker face in order not to look afraid are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected Fives as Parents are often kind, perceptive, and devoted are sometimes authoritarian and demanding may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions Renee Baron & Elizabeth Wagele The Enneagram Made Easy Discover the 9 Types of People HarperSanFrancisco, 1994, 161 pages You are not completely happy with the result?!

In other news, I know I haven't posted in a while, but I am not going to feel guilty about it no matter how hard you try (and yes, that was an invitation to try). The past week and a bit have been... interesting, to say the least, and I haven't really been in the mood to post anything much. However, seeing as yesterday was dawn_of_buffy's 18th birthday (and for my American friends not in the know, the 18th birthday in Australian law is when you become legal for practically everything - drinking, signing contracts without obligatory guardians being present or whatever, voting, the lot), I think it's time for me to get back to it all.

So, yesterday dawn_ turned 18, and he had a huge family/friend gathering at his family's restaraunt. There was exellent food, lots of people, and lots of presents. hydeist_made a CD for him that was, for those of us privileged enough to know him, most certainly up to his high standards... if not surpassing of them. Most of dawn_'s closest friends (within our group at least) recorded messages for him and his birthday... it was/is awesome.

I may leave the rest for dawn_ to fill you in on though, seeing as it was his birthday.

Blame me not!


and if you hadn't updated soon I was going to get on your case about it gently suggest that you do. =P

Damn us Americans and our age laws. Well..the only thing we can't do at 18 is drink...and rent cars. You have to be 25 to rent a car.

You know what I forgot to include in the CD? A song about LJ that will remind him to post.
