lactophile.

The Good: Lots of butter. Lots of cheese. Oh, and some awesome vegetable soup :)

AND CHRISTINE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! And plotting to come to their send-off at dawn with a bright pink shirt (so they can see me) and a handkerchief.

The Bad: grf. I shall see Christine only once, maybe twice more before... GAHITSTOOHORRIBLE. Also, realizing I am perhaps not an INTJ after all :(

The Random: It's lots of fun to rub a cat's belly until it purrs, and then after a few seconds abruptly leave and see the shock on its face >:)

busy days make me HAPPY!

Small Group leaders' meeting went fabulously. Those are some of the most entertaining, lovable, hilarious right-brained adults I know. I think I am kindof both left & right... but, definitely leaning left. I love me some SCHEDULES! YES!
...Which leads me to the next meeting. We got a lot accomplished and had a lot of fun. And ate a lot of food.
And then there was David's birthday party... happy birthday, for the fourth time, by the way... and we played Risk, and I did not lose! Colin lost, and everybody else won because we got bored and quit. BTW, Colin, letting someone who borders you (coughMarkcough) play for you after you go home is not the best strategy.

I had a fabulous day. Now off to do my LIT homework!

Kathryne

Book Club!

yay :)

I had my first book club meeting with my telepathic triplets! We went to Panera for 2.4 hours and discussed Jane Eyre... well, for mayyybe an hour of the time. And then we just caught up on life. Talked about Oscar... real teenagers... why real teenagers would not talk about Oscar ;)... modesty... leadership... gender roles... and other things. I love you guys!

ALSO! laptop is now fully functional!

Kathryne

PS- Jane is an INFJ, for the record.

Dorkumentaries!

yeah. So, I've always wanted to make a documentary. Like, a real one, not just some weird 5-minute school project.

SO.

I now get to make TWO!

First, we are filming an Oscarmentary! aka, a documentary-of-Oscar. My class is going on a field trip on Tuesday, and so we will take Oscar, my camera, and hopefully we will be able to turn out a 10-15 minute presentation :P

Second, I have decided to make a video "Intro to the MBTI." It's gonna be awesome, informative, highly scientific, and made on iMovie. aka, just about as good as you can get on a high-school student budget.

also... IT'S THE WEEKEND!!! EEP!

Kathryne

PS- Saw Sandy! Then listened to Newsboys on the way home... coincidence??

the stuff we say at school... sigh.

(psssst! it's alliteration!!! :P)

Quotes from today:

"Rachel, if you can't say anything mean, don't say anything at all!"

-Mrs Bond... they're marking up my junior thesis. and I wanted red marks.

"Picking on people is not a good way to make them your friends. It is a good way to keep them your friends."

-Me... speaking on how you only really pick on close friends.

"It's just addling to the rattling!"

-Rachel... tongue-tied, or something. she meant to say 'adding to the rattling,' but it didn't come out like that.

Also, speaking of speaking... Megan & Rachel & I spent the whole Teachers' Aide/Study Period discussing stuff. And it was awesome!

We also decided that we do NOT have 4 INTJs in our class. We actually have...

ENTJ- Megan

ENTP- Kevin

INTJ- Katie, Rachel

INTP- Dan

(that's every NT type! we are so cool!)

...if y'all get weirded out by my constant rambling about nothing, give me a heads up and I will take it elsewhere, like the up-and-coming "Kathryne is a Lunatic" blog.

Kathryne

!!!!!!!!

I TOTALLY FORGOT! (and I am aware that I am... 21 minutes late, at this point, but...)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

:)



also, today was great, so, lots of smiling. I met another ENFP/personality-carbon-copy of my wonderful Amy Marie :)


Kathryne

"Maddie can break you' finger!"

Always have a deeeeelightful time with Elijah & Chris... oh, and I guess Katie & Sarah too =)

dinner conversation was the BEST.
I wouldn't hold it up with, say, The Princess Bride or The Picture of Dorian Gray, but it was pretty darn quotable.

Also, seeing the word "darn" in a children's book. Really?!


OH! OhOhOh!! And watching videos of Ben Barnes (think: Prince Caspian... with a buzz cut) in a... wait for it... BOY BAND. ohmy. It's, like, Brit-pop extreeeme! And hilarious!


And talking about MBTI always makes me happy. Sarah, we have decided, is not:
ISFJ (like the first test said)
INFP (like the second one said)
or ENTP (like the last one said)
...but, she is an ISTJ. And I totally see it.

Kathryne

Finished my Masterpiece, mhmm!

So, my Brit Lit teacher did ask me to write up a summary of all of my MBTI knowledge. And I finished!! It is beautiful... a work of art... and now, you can type all your friends (even though that's technically unethical... it is still fun =) )

So here 'tis.

well... 'eyare.

er, would it be 'yare ?

it doesn't work so well when it's plural.

Kathryne's Compilation of STUFF!

Also what makes me happy:

Scrabble with Mom & not getting creamed

Quesadillas with cheese bursting out at the seams

A Coke with explicitly three cubes of ice

--And a day off of school will surely be nice =)

Kathryne

Snow Day!

So, I haven't been feeling so great lately.

My mom & I tried to find a day when I could stay home and "recuperate."

Unfortunately, at school I have tests all the time, and stuff I can't miss, and stuff I don't want to miss.

I was at my breaking point by last night, so my mom was going to keep me home today whether I liked it or not. I wake up after a good 11-hour sleep (10:15-9:15) to find out that... school is cancelled! YES! THIS is why I go to private school! =P

Then I came downstairs and started working on some stuff for my Brit Lit teacher. She wanted a sort of summary of all of my comprehensive MBTI knowledge (--semi-sarcasm), so I'm typing her up a... uh... "summary." A long one. Anyone who knows me knows that this is one of my "pet subjects," and I just have fun with it =)

So... yeah. that made me happy.

Then I wanted lunch (I may have lost my appetite, but by gum you know I've got to eat!), so I made myself Ramen. Did you know that one pack of Chicken flavored Ramen noodles contains 70% of your recommended daily salt intake? Yeah... uhh... we'll just pretend I didn't see that.

Oscar Wilde Quote of the Day:

"Religion? The fashionable substitute for Belief... skepticism is the beginning of Faith."

A Day of Quotes

I *love* quotes.

So, we'll start with some by people I know (grown-up people & peers, that is. So they have no excuses):

"I love your hair! It looks like a bee's nest!"

"It's an INTJ thing..."

"I'm usually wrong, but I have evidence this time."

"Why do I always seem so stupid when there are other people around? I look brilliant when I'm by myself!"

Now, for the "dead people" quotes:

"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."
-Herm Albright

"What's the good of having naturally curly hair if nobody's jealous?"

-Freida (Peanuts)

“There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out.”

-Russian proverb

Now, for the

Oscar Wilde Quote of the Day:

"Nowadays, people know the price of everything, and the value of nothing."

Kathryne

=D

lotsa things making me smilleee =)

a) I have my thesis intro done and turned in!

b) I had a cheese steak for lunch!

c) I didn't get a demerit for chewing gum in school!

d) I had a breakthrough re:MBTI & focus!

(I'm a dork)

So, each of four types has a different focus:

• SJ~ what was
• SP~ what is
• NJ~ what will be
• NP~ what could be

and, if you look at it, the opposite focuses are not totally switched-types (ie SJ vs NP), but only the first letters are switched.

SJ vs NJ: what was vs what will be

SP vs NP: what is vs what could be

e) I HAD MY INTERVIEW =)

soo....

the interview was REALLY good.

shorter than I thought

but it's all good =)

(and I got *points* for being a Mac-geek and knowing what a tag cloud is)

Oscar Wilde Quote of the Day:

"To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim."

Kathryne

Try this:

can you roll your Rs in a whisper?

do it as quietly as you can...

there.

Doesn't it sound kinda like that car in the Aristocats? and it tickles your throat... hehe... "thr" sounds are fun to roll... hehe...

Also, when you can find someone who looks decent in a dress like this, notify me ASAP because I will want to go slap some sense into their silly brains.

Alsooo, I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde (did I say that already?) and I am loving it SO much, and I have so many things underlined on each page, that I am going to do an "Oscar Wilde quote of the day" on every entry from now... until I feel like stopping, I guess.

Oscar Wilde Quote of the Day:

"As for believing things, I can believe anything, provided it is quite incredible."

Kathryne

PS- Sandy, stop saying you're an ENFJ.

you're not.

you're an ESTJ.

An ENFJ is this:

"Benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity, they have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes... they see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are."

An ESTJ is this:

"Tradition is important... they have an acute sense for orthodoxy. Much of their evaluation of persons and activities reflects their strong sense of what is "normal" and what isn't... outspoken, a person of principles, which are readily expressed."

"God must be an extrovert"

(see: Revelation 5)

anyways... I might have a job this summer!

doing something I'll enjoy!!

*HAPPY*

something today... hmm... I love the 20-cent bet I have going on as to the personality type of a friend. And I love that I'm going to WIN.

(LIT is just great all-round)

Why do my friends have to be so cool?

They make me feel like I might ALMOST want to be an extrovert.

I get almost bubbly around them, like... so much enthusiasm! GAHH! enthusiasm is deaatthhhh! (just kidding)

...But seriously, it isn't natural in the slightest. So why do all of my friends stir that up in me? I feel so... un-me. Maybe I'm just kidding myself; I might just be an ESFJ in disguise =/

Kathryne

Psychology fun =)

I, heart, psychology. I absolutely love it.

personality profiling?

sign me up.

psychoanalyzing random things?

yep.

today was just a full day of it.

"*For the record* using two periods at the end of a sentence is the EPITOME of indecisiveness. It says, "Am I an accidental double period? Or am I am incomplete ellipsis?" It has no self-esteem; no definitive. There you go-- I just psychoanalyzed your punctuation.."

read it... live it... THANK you.
