Haven't added it to the snapvine box, but here are two snippets of my voice. The first is just me reading a phrase from a book, since I couldn't think of anything, the second is a duck impression I more or less promised to make. And melkor, I'll surely mention you the next time, I just totally...

A few years ago I had a lot of selfdoubt, faith issues if you will. I was home a lot, behind the computer reading stuff, or doing other random thing. Also stare at the ceiling. The self doubt of mine led to me questioning if it was wrong to live my life that way. Everybody else was outside...

I thought you didn't want them to find out you liked them NoID10ts? ;)

This reminds me of a quote in one of Covey's guidance books: To me this is like saying: No matter what you do, no matter what you know, I can always choose my own way, always do what I think is best and decide how to handle abuse by others in the way I see fit.

Why would it be? Its a way of blowing off steam, expressing yourself, letting go. A good cry might help you a lot. I haven't cried for years really. Sometimes when listening to specific music I think I'm about to but it never pulls through. I haven't really cried for over 6 years. And when I...

Vitamin String Quartet is amazing. I really enjoy their tributes. I especially like the U2, Paramore, Dido and The Killers tributes. Also I love classical crossover/classical pop. Sarah Brightman, Sissel, Hayley Westenra as far as vocalists go. Vanessa Mae and Bond as far as instrumental goes...

Your post is full of cute. Also, I think all these INFP's are a trojan horse invading our carefully constructed fortress.

I laugh a lot to funny stuff in columns. I like to read my newspaper in the train, so the laughing makes me a bit uncomfortable then... In general I can say I love to see/read black humor. I don't cry to writings though. The only thing that can do that is music and only very specific pieces...

1. English I use it a lot, and I'm not that good at it compared to native speakers. 2. Japanese I like to watch anime and also listen to some Japanese music. Would be nice to understand it. 3. German Being dutch, being fluent in your neighbors language is something valuable. If I don't...

I'll have to rewatch it again to make a more specific post, but I also loved her character in that movie. I can't say I'd be able to type her, I find it impossible to type anyone but the most extreme. The entire movie was great anyways, especially Josh' part was great as well.

I agree, but its very hard to maintain it after the initial boost has taken effect, at least for me. I tend to do cardio for 3 months, then quit for 3, and on and on. It does work wonders tho.

This reminds me of the show 'The Big Bang Theory'

Welcome to the the forums. I can really relate to what you wrote, I had, and still have somewhat, the same issues regarding INTP-ness as you so this is a most welcome thread.

If you liked Godel, Escher, Bach you might also want to read 'I Am a Strange Loop' which is about the same thing. At least thats what Hofstadter writes in the preface of 'I Am a Strange Loop' The things he writes about how we interact, 'see' eachother, become closer to eachother and eventually...
