I'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

You know, I'm starting to like and accept the fact that my personality is blue/idealist. Two days ago in Careers class, we divided up into our colour groups: the blues got together, the oranges, the greens, and the golds. I wasn't there, I was singing with the school, uh, "choir" in the music-festival. When I came back, the colour groups has written their likes and dislikes on big pieces of paper on the board. Everything that the blue group wrote fit with my interests. Here is what they wrote:
We Like: music, food, talking, chick flicks, JUNO, summer, Popsicles, home sweet home and animals. We go crazy when we face: nagging, teachers, homework, science 2D, relatives, math, and dirt... Paul likes dirt.

This completely equates to me. I love music and food, chick flicks are amusing, Juno is one of my favourite movies ever, summer is the only time I ever relax fully, I love popsicles when they're chocolate (and other ones aren't half-bad either), I love being at home, and I'm obsessed with cats. In the dislikes, I LOATHE nagging, most teachers aren't half bad people, but they annoy me sometimes when they are teaching, I hate homework because I never do it and fall behind, Science 2D is my least favourite subject this semester, I like relatives but I need my personal space, I had trouble with math last semester, and sure... yay for Paul liking dirt :)

The funny thing is that the orange group's answers, the group I really wanted to be in, annoyed me to no end. And I realized that I'm not in that group for a reason, I don't always get along well with those people... it's just not my personality type. Some of their answers that I found annoying were (exactly as they were written) Likes: Hockey, Gum, and Facebook, Dislikes: Feet, B.O. (aka body odour), and classical music. I mean, why put body odour on there? Nobody likes it, and I thought it was dumb the way they wrote it. I will not comment on the classical music jibe because I will probably start to rant and rave about how "classical" music is actually a mis-nomer and how people misunderstand it... there I go. I shall be quiet now.

Personality test: believe it, or not?

So, we just finished our first personality test. And I'm almost, I dunno, angry. I despise the whole act of being put into boxes. And I was put into the box of being an idealist. It's good, I guess, but it wasn't what I thought I would be. You see, there are four different categories that you can be sorted into: Artisan, Guardian, Idealist and Rationalist. In all honesty, I was sure I was going to be an artisan because that's what I want to be. Idealist is nice, and maybe that is really what I am at heart, but I've been trying to stand out and break out of the mold. As my friend sitting next to me says "Wow, everyone's an idealist!" Ugh. Why would I want to be like everyone else?

All Idealists (NFs) share the following core characteristics:

• Idealists pride themselves on being loving, kindhearted, and authentic.
• Idealists are enthusiastic, they trust their intuition, yearn for romance, seek their
  true self, prize meaningful relationships, and dream of attaining wisdom.
• Idealists tend to be giving, trusting, spiritual, and they are focused on personal
  journeys and human potentials.
• Idealists make intense mates, nurturing parents, and inspirational leaders.

This makes a lot of sense. It is me, really. But I don't know if that's what I want to be.
