PersonalDNA
You are a Curator
You are straightforward and real, down-to-earth, and have a healthy respect for order and stability. These attributes, complemented by your desire to be surrounded by things of beauty, make you a CURATOR.
You don't feel the need to try everything new that comes along - you know what you like and what you want.
You are a no-nonsense person, not someone who falls for pretensions.
Being strongly grounded in the here-and-now, you are practical and realistic about yourself and your life.
You find comfort and calmness in your habits and routines.
Although others might not know this about you, you strongly appreciate aesthetic qualities, noticing whether something is well-designed and stylish.
You have a refined sense of taste, and you want your environments to reflect your preferred style.
There are times when you feel insecure and vulnerable, even though you know deep down that you are a good person.
You aren't narcissistic - you allow yourself to be realistic about your positive and negative qualities.
You're not one to force your positions on a group, and you tend to be fair in evaluating different options.
You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.
You have a strong sense of style and value your personal presentation - friends may even seek your style advice from time to time.
If you want to be different:
It wouldn't hurt to indulge your imagination and creativity sometimes. These are skills like any other, and develop with practice, so try to carve out some time for them in your life.
Try to quiet your inner feelings of doubt - you will be more successful if you can overcome these worries and focus on your many strengths, such as your responsible and honest nature.
how you relate to others
You are Advocating
Being social, empathic, and understanding makes you ADVOCATING.
Some people find being around others exhausting-but not you! You are energized by spending time with friends, and you are good at meeting new people.
One of the reasons you enjoy conversation as much as you do is that you often learn about yourself while talking things out with a friend; you realize things about your own beliefs while discussing them with others.
You have insight into what others are thinking and feeling. This ability allows you to be happy for others, and to commiserate when something has gone wrong for them.
You are highly compassionate, and being conscious of how things affect those close to you leaves you cautious about trusting others too hastily.
Despite these reservations, you are open-minded when it comes to your worldview; you don't look to impose your ways on others.
Your sensitivity towards others' plights contributes to an understanding-both intellectual and emotional-of many different perspectives.
As someone who understands the complexities of the world around you, you are reluctant to pass judgments.
f you want to be different:
While it's important to think about others, don't forget to take some time for yourself, and occassionally to put yourself first.
Take some time to spend with a few close friends; although it's difficult to find people to trust, it's worth the effort.
When you have great ideas, it can be hard to relinquish control, but it can also feel good to take the pressure off and enjoy someone else leading the way.

I've been having some pretty fantastic days recently.
Saturday was graduation. It was lots of fun. Then Sunday was all the parties. Mine was fun, and it was lots of fun to leave and go to Chris's and then going to Grace's later in the night was great. Monday was "do nothing" day, and I slept until 1 and then went shopping with Paulina. I got some cute shirts from Delia's, and I used my gift certificate to Victoria's Secret that my cousin gave me for graduation haha. Fun times. Yesterday I thought I had to be at camp at 1:00, but I actually didn't have to be there until 6:30. So that was great to find out. So I walked into town to get my car which was getting its oil changed, and then I went out to lunch with Cassie and Tessa which was a great time. Then I went swimming and hung out with Joey at the pool for a little bit. Except he was lifeguarding so yeah. Then I went to camp and I came home and I went with my mom to stop & shop to get sugar free Jell-O. Sugar free Jell-O is my new obsession oh my god it's so good. I'm so excited about it's presence. Okay so then I ate one and I talked with Merrick on the phone for an hour ish and that was good.
So basically things have been going well. I can't help but feel like I'm being replaced though, by two of my best friends. I feel like I'm so not needed anymore--at least not in the way I was, and it hurts so badly. I don't really know how to deal with it, so I'm pretending like nothing's happening. It's much easier that way. If I tell people it's not a big deal, then maybe it isn't too big of a deal. Except for that it is. I wish I knew how I could make this better. I wish I knew how I could prevent it from happening, or why it happened. I must have done something wrong. There must be something about me that makes me a bad friend. I don't know. I really just want to know how I can make sure it doesn't happen again, because now I'm so afraid of it happening in college and stuff like that.
Well. cool. Bye.
