Help me stop myself from tearing my hair out...
So, Christmas is over, but the family stress never ends. My Great-Aunt passed away on Boxing Day, so the funeral is in 12 hours. I was supposed to be one of the pall-bearers, but Aunt Reta's daughter in-law wanted to do it, and I wasn't that close to her, so I don't feel too badly. It just really sucks that it was unexpected. >.<
At home, I managed to wipe my hard drive without losing the ability to use the computer... It kind sucks more than a little.
On another, more cheerful note, I finally picked up a pair of black, knee high boots. After years of searching, I found a pair that I like and actually fits me. They have laces, and a pointy toe. ^.^ They were also about 70$ less than I was planning on spending... though I did turn around and spend all that money on underwear o.O
On another, more random note, I did this test that tells me about my Ennegram Personality. The first part was incredibly accurate, so I felt like sharing.
Your Enneagram type is THREE (aka "The Achiever").
"I need to succeed"
Achievers are energetic, optimistic, self-assured, and goal oriented.
How to Get Along with Me
Leave me alone when I am doing my work.
Give me honest, but not unduly critical or judgmental, feedback.
Help me keep my environment harmonious and peaceful.
Don't burden me with negative emotions.
Tell me you like being around me.
Tell me when you're proud of me or my accomplishments.
What I Like About Being a THREE
being optimistic, friendly, and upbeat
providing well for my family
being able to recover quickly from setbacks and to charge ahead to the next challenge
staying informed, knowing what's going on
being competent and able to get things to work efficiently
being able to motivate people
What's Hard About Being a THREE
having to put up with inefficiency and incompetence
the fear on not being -- or of not being seen as -- successful
comparing myself to people who do things better
struggling to hang on to my success
putting on facades in order to impress people
always being "on." It's exhausting.
THREEs as Children Often
work hard to receive appreciation for their accomplishments
are well liked by other children and by adults
are among the most capable and responsible children in their class or school
are active in school government and clubs or are quietly busy working on their own projects
THREEs as Parents
are consistent, dependable, and loyal
struggle between wanting to spend time with their children and wanting to get more work done
expect their children to be responsible and organized

Finally, if you're in town for New Years Eve, talk to me about it. I have things planned.
