Irish Breen Still Has Her Blankie

August 26th, 2005

No laughing!

It’s not a blanket I got at birth. I didn’t have it in my early childhood but got it when I was twelve. We had just moved to Georgia and I was making that teen marker. In celebration my farther bought me a few new things to make my room seem more grown up (at least what I thought was grown up at 12).

That was the same year he was first diagnosed with ALS. I held on to that blanket because it brought me warmth and my dad back to me when ever I needed to remember him (he died when I was 15). My son and daughter use it now. It kinda makes it’s rounds when ever they are feeling sick and need to be comforted.

Sneaking in to invade…

August 26th, 2005

for a moment during this FFAF – I’m late but I’m here ) Let me intro myself… I’m PureMood but most call me PM and you may visit me at JustPureMood.com. My FFAF is still open if you’d like to drop in.

Now, onto your suggested topic. My fave clothing item (one of them, anyway) is my Levi SuperLow 519′s. Man, I love these jeans (wearin’ them right now, actually). They fit SO perfect, they are extra comfy, and I just love ‘em. I bought a pair nearly identical but they just didn’t do it for me… I don’t know why – same type jean, etc… What really stinks is this (my fave) pair is about to be no more. They are slowly wearin’ out on me. I’m very sad about that!

Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. your WP dashboard is different from mine, I wasn’t expectin’ that…

Me and my HD

August 26th, 2005

One of my fav t-shirt is a black one with a Harley Davidson logo printed on it. Not the typical H-D logo with the eagle perched on to, but more of a stylised version. The eagle is still perched on top, but has been redesigned to with a sort-of tribal influence. The colour scheme selected makes it looks metallic too!

It also fits me perfectly. Not overly large to make me look clumsy, and not overly tight to make it seem as though I’ve outgrown my clothes.

Oh, did I mention that I hope to own a Harley in future? A Sportster would do just fine, although I wouldn’t mind the V-Rod, if my wallet says OK!

Happy FFAF!

August 26th, 2005

Greetings!

This is JL from By My Hand, wishing you a Happy FFAF.

I think, my favorite article of clothing is a sarong I picked up at a celtic festival a couple years ago. It’s kind of a dark greyish blue with tribal suns and moon printed on it in white. The thing is, I don’t generally wear it. It’s really, really soft and so I tend to use it as a throw on the bed. I’ll take it with me on trips because it’s a very thin material and so, it packs well. That way, I can throw it on the bed in the hotel or wherever I’m staying and it’s like having a comfy little bit of home wherever I go.

Ta!

ready, set… free 4 all!

August 26th, 2005

alright. GO!

(and btw.. i’m still in minnesota.. but things are going great here! life is very good.. even though i’m pretty tired right now.)

it’s three in the morning..

August 21st, 2005

and there’s five extra people in my house.

heh. i love it.

so here’s a quick story.. since i have to drive to minnesota in a couple hours… i need to sleep.

but i had an awesome day.. and at night it just got better and better. i finally had a chance to eat at maggianos restaurant.. and that was way awesome.

then i leave and get a call from jenn (my new roommate. wheee) saying that she’s at the new apartment.. but can’t get in (since she hasn’t gotten her keys yet.) so i drive there (i was really close anyways.) so i get to use my new keys for the first time.. and walk around where i will be moving my stuff next month.

it was great to sit and chat with jenn for a bit, and then i had to leave so i could get some work done. i got a last minute graphic design project that needed to be done before i left. hence the reason why i’m still up. but then i get a call from mary who was on last year’s watermark team. turns out she and four other friends are in town for a wedding.. and the hotel room that they reserved was given away just minutes before they arrived. the people at the hotel kept calling other hotels and found no open rooms. well it just so happens that i am at my parents house and my parents are gone for the weekend. so that means we have a bed/futon/couch…. just enough to sleep all the people that were without room-age. (hmm.. God’s planning is pretty slick eh?)

so now i have a house full of people.. and i LOVE that. they keep thanking me for letting them stay here.. but it’s just as much of a blessing to have them here.

and i finished my graphic design project too.. and i really like it.

i also have half my stuff packed up.

now i just need to sleep. i hope to update at some point during the next month… but if not.. have a most blessed month everyone! remember to see God in the little things…. even having your hotel room given away. -P

digital life vs. non-digital life

August 20th, 2005

so while my webpage has been acting completely spastic lately, my non-digital life has been going well. great days at work… random late night walks around downtown/east side milwaukee…. new projects from my freelance work…. and the list goes on.

and i would type more.. however i have to wake up in a couple hours…. so i won’t -P

enfp back in the house.

August 15th, 2005

so i’m back from minnesota. and let me tell you.. i had a BLAST! i missed all those teamers so much. it was awesome to see everyone. (and get lots of hugs! heh. i love hugs!) pictures will be up soon.

i think i’m gonna go to bed instead of finish the homecoming pictures tonight though… i just spent the last several minutes taking yet another personality test. (it reminds me of team life… since we all took those tests a couple times while on team) so i confirmed that yes, i am still and ENFP. (33% extrovert; 12% intuitive; 50% feeling; 22% perceiving) what does that mean you ask?

“The Champion Idealists are abstract in thought and speech, cooperative in accomplishing their aims, and informative and extraverted when relating with others. For Champions, nothing occurs which does not have some deep ethical significance, and this, coupled with their uncanny sense of the motivations of others, gives them a talent for seeing life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil. This type is found in only about 3 percent of the general population, but they have great influence because of their extraordinary impact on others. Champions are inclined to go everywhere and look into everything that has to do with the advance of good and the retreat of evil in the world. They can’t bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives.”

“Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone , especially on a regular basis.”

“ENFPs like to tell funny stories, especially about their friends.”

“ENFPs are both “idea”-people and “people”-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of “help”) and be liked and admired by other people, on both an individual and a humanitarian level.”

“ENFPs are pleasant, easygoing, and usually fun to work with. They come up with great ideas, and are a major asset in brainstorming sessions. Followthrough tends to be a problem, however; they tend to get bored quickly, especially if a newer, more interesting project comes along. They also tend to be procrastinators, both about meeting hard deadlines and about performing any small, uninteresting tasks that they’ve been assigned. ENFPs are at their most useful when working in a group w ith a J or two to take up the slack.”
read more here and here. and take the (somewhat short) test here.

speaking of “procrastinating”…

i should go to bed now. i hope you enjoyed a deeper glimpse into the personality of me. goodnight.

*edit* so i found a note from a time when i took a similar test earlier and i was a ESFP with that one. interesting.

also interesting that part of the above article(s) were written by “joe butt.” dang that must have been a rough childhood….
