(be forewarned this entry is a bit more "cheer up emo kid")
enfj. yep, that's me. well, according to the myers-briggs type indicator it is. who knows how much stock we should actually put into these sorts of tests that tell us who we are and what we should be doing in life. but the 'e' stands for extraverted and i know that part is true.
that 'e' part is actually probably one of the most difficult things about being in kuwait (or any new place for that matter.) being extraverted means not only do i enjoy life best when i spend it with others, but that my energy actually comes from it. it is currently saturday at 6 pm and i have not left my apartment. i think my skin is crawling. right next door is neil who is happily journaling, reading, blogging, and doing other miscelaneous tasks. i just stopped by about an hour ago and neil looked at his watch in disbelief at where the day had gone. i looked at mine and wondered how much more was left.
i am enjoying kuwait, don't misunderstand me. the combination of the stifling heat, loneliness, and procrastination on prelims/dissertation just isn't the best combination sometimes. its days like this i wish i were an introvert.

aw! I feel your pain, my fellow E!
I should take the test again... In high school I went from an ESTJ in freshman year to an ENFP in senior year. I took it a few years ago and scored an ENXX, although my N was pretty weak. The E was definitely strong, as you would expect!
I'm sorry we've been gone... maybe we can skype one of these mornings(for us)/afternoons(for you)?
yeah, i don't know what i am anymore either. but for sure i'm still an 'e.' i was even so bored here the other week i was going to re-take the test online but i couldn't find any free ones. pathetic. things are better now, thankfully and of course would love to chat soon! shauna and i have begun talking about plans the reunion/anniversary/birthday celebration!
