I love your description Elainna! Yes, that really does sound just like you. Nice to see it inspired you too – send me a pic of the painting when it is done (or any others – I would love to see yr work).

Your appreciation of beauty, ability to think abstractly, and innovativeness make you an ARTIST.

Never one to be tied to a particular way of doing things, you let your imagination guide you in discovering different possibilities.

You would rather seek out new experiences than stick to your everyday habits, taking in as much of the world as possible.

Your eye for beauty and your willingness to consider different perspectives make your creative efforts interesting—even though you may not realize this yourself.

You prefer to think about things before voicing your opinion, considering a wide, diverse range of options.

While there are forms and styles that you prefer, you tend to keep an open mind when it comes to your artistic preferences.

You are curious about things, interested in the “why” more than the “how.”

You have an active imagination that leads you express yourself in a distinct way.

You’re not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.

You’re well-attuned to your emotional state, and not afraid to use your feelings to guide you. You tend to be cooperative, rarely contradicting others, and always considerate of their feelings.

You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation – friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.

Generally, you believe that you control your life, and that external forces only play a limited role in determining what happens to you.

If you want to be different:

Be more open to risks in your creative efforts, and don’t be quick to dismiss the praise of others.

Think about how attention to detail may help you be more sure of yourself.

how you relate to others
You are Considerate

You trust others, care about them, and are slow to judge them, making you CONSIDERATE.

You value your close relationships very much, and are more likely to spend time in small, tightly-knit groups of friends than in large crowds.

You enjoy exploring the world through observation, quietly watching others.

Relating to others so well, and understanding their emotions, leads you to trust people in general, even though you’re somewhat shy and reserved at times.

Your belief that people are generally well-intentioned contributes to your sympathy regarding their problems.

Although you may not vocalize it often, you have an awareness of how society affects individuals, and you understand complex causes of people’s behavior.

You like to look at all sides of a situation before making a judgment, particularly when that situation involves important things in other people’s lives.

Your close friends know you as a good listener.

I found this interesting and while I enjoy almost every type of artistic creativity, have trouble acknowleging any particular talent myself. Nevertheless, I spend a lot of time planning my gardens and doing web sets. I was also inspired to start a new painting after taking this.

If you didn’t see the President’s whole press conference on Lebanon yesterday, you missed him unconsciously (as usual) deal feminism another blow.

Throughout the press conference Bush repeatedly referred to his Secretary of State as “Condi” to answer a question about the proposed U.N. ceasefire resolution whenever he couldn’t answer a question. You can imagine how many times he did it since it appeared he hadn’t read it.

Many people will think, ‘Well, they’re close friends, so what?’ True, but have you ever heard him address any of his other male cabinet members in public as “Dick”, “Don”, or “Al”? They are all referred to by their title and last name. And he’s good friends with Dick, Don, and Al too.

Small point, but so revealing.
