ahahhah - i probably just think too much. plus having done tarot for a fair while means i've got a tendency to try and look at what the core of a given statement is, rather than just focus on the phrasing. i'd re-interpret the idol description as:
"You follow your own lead and everyone's so busy watching what you're doing they don't consider why you're doing it or what it means to you - feels isolated doesn't it? Yeah, you have a lot of strengths and are a naturally charming person so that people can't help but like and/or be affected by you, and you've been surrounded by these sorts of reactions for so long you're starting to fail to question them. People have a love/hate relationship with you and you don't realise why. a hint "bloodyminded self-focus", but underneath it all you feel distant from everyone - it's not easy being strongly self possessed. Enjoy the strength of your independence, but be careful - if you're wrong it can be a long fall."
I still don't entirely agree with it, but i think it fits you better while maintaining the gist of the interpretation. it also works better for simone like that methinks =), although i won't comment on what i agree/disagree with about it for either of you, i'm just re-writing it like i would if it was a tarot reading =)
You are such a smug bastard sometimes aren't ya? Probably spot on with your description though.... but then again I'm "almost a true individual" in your eyes aren't I? Like those other "true individuals" you mentioned to me at Psychonaut recently. Oh how shall I ever aspire to reach their lofty heights?
Yes I am "bloodymindedly self-focussed" but then so is fucking everyone. And I don't "fail to question" peoples' reactions to me, whether they be positive or negative, both on the surface and underneath. I know some people have a "love/hate relationship" with me - just as I probably have a love/hate relationship with them. No-one is perfect. You take the good with the bad. And "distant"? Yes, I do feel distant sometimes - but hey that just might be the weekend getting to me. But I try to have a good time anyway and if other people around me are having fun too then that's what I'm happy with.
Anyway, before you cry 'foul' I did read the end of your post, but this is not so much a go at you as an honest view of some of my strengths and weaknesses (and arrogance :) But, I do feel that your psychoanalytic "assessments" of people you think you know do sometimes border on the patronising (whether you intend them to or not) and sometimes the drownright incorrect.
Nobody likes to have their character judged, especially if the person doing the judging doesn't really know them that well. Leave that sort of thing to Quizilla :) Remember these wise words cholo!
yes i am a smug bastard, and i spose i do border on the patronising at times - depends a bit how familiar i am with someone, which in your case isn't really that well (in all honesty) and it tends to make me behave in a slightly more... detached.. manner (ie. unintentionally patronising). oh, and like anyone who makes judgements i'm often wrong =)
sorry for the potential offense, i am actually forming a higher opinion of you, and i think your response underlines why.
