Anyways, a little on my personality. I kinda got inspired by my friend. Whose blog reads like a collection of GP essays.
At the start of the year, my chemistry teacher got us to say a chemical compound that represented ourselves, or something along those lines. I forgot what I chose, but i do remember that I explained it was because I felt that my personality is faceted and there are many sides to a person (and hence got teased about having multiple personalities. Okay, there are sides of me that nobody knows about, but still, it's not really multiple personality...)
Anyways, I stand by my explanation then, because it is true that nobody is fully transparent. Some may be hard to read and others extremely obvious, but nobody will ever know everything about another person, not even between spouses and the like. And by extension, there are different sides of yourself that you would show to different people... talking about nothing in particular with some, about politics and other "higher-order thinging" with others, and keeping some secrets of your own. That is what makes us humans so interesting, because when you peel back layer after layer and perhaps chance upon the essence of what makes a person who he or her is, there is a form of gratification and joy that someone else is letting you intrude upon what is essentially an increasing level of private space.
So to link it back to myself, I think that I fit this model quite well. Sometimes I feel like a fluid, flowing smoothly from one container to another, and yet with those whom i disagree with i may become hard and unmovable- the clashing of personalities. Perhaps human relations are all about adapting to another person's views, no? There is no one-size-fits-all solution to every friend or person you encounter, because nobody's personality is exactly the same. If you're lucky, some may be much more amicable in this respect, paving the way for a closer friendship, or even closer.
...
Got slightly carried away.
I think that's about all I wanted to blog about, so bye for now.
P.S.
Happy birthday once more SL, even though your birthday has passed by about two hours already! Your birthday may be over, but it simply marks the start of a new 17 year old SL who's ready to face anything thrown her way. 向前走吧！May you continue to grow and blossom. Just don't take on that much on your plate... it's slightly worrying :P
(this must be like at least the fourth birthday greeting)
