Hello! I just started back to school this semester myself. I don't remember being this busy the first time around. Glad you could join us here!

Maybe you could try a therapist or counsellor instead of a psychologist or psychiatrist. I have one who is pretty awesome. I've found it can really help to talk about stuff to an unbiased source who you know won't say anything to anyone else due to confidentiality agreements. I was extremely...

Thank you. It's nice to meet you!

Yes, taking time off can be a good thing. I simply wasn't in the right frame of mind; I had went through some traumatic events in my senior year of high school that affected me rather badly, and since I didn't know what I wanted to do anyway, I simply put it off. Thankfully, distance learning...

Hmm...that's a fair question. I would say both yes and no. It's very hard to not be forced into introspection because there is nothing else around. So for those who have a predisposition towards introspection, I think it can definitely force it to mature much sooner than in other places. But for...

It wasn't necessarily a career, but I wanted to know everything about everything. Every piece of information in existence, I wanted to know it. I was going to spend my life learning everything there was to learn. Once I realized that wasn't possible, I decided to become a penguin farmer. I was...

Prairie. I'm right next to the Texas border, so there's not a lot of trees around these parts. How we survive could be a very involved question... Mentally, well, I think everyone has to make a choice when they're young. Either to leave and go somewhere else, or to plant roots and stop...

Thank you for the Homing Kitty. It's a fine gift, and he shall be treated with respect. My interests also change with alarming frequency, but I don't have much time right now to spare for them. I'm working to put myself through college, which doesn't leave a lot of spare time. But when I do...

Absolutely. I don't care how good-looking someone is, if they aren't at least as intelligent as me (and I'm not being snobby, I mean if I say something to them, I don't want to see that blank, 'huh?' look on their face) then I am not interested. Smart is sexy. On the other hand, if they're as...

:o Flattery won't get you everywhere, but it'll get you pretty far! I'm sure Proxy and I could set up some kind of timeshare for your affection. ;)

I can see that, to an extent - your heart is pounding, your on edge, and there is someone RIGHT THERE that could 'protect' you (or you could trip them and run)...arousal could be achieved. But I'm having a very hard time imagining any woman going 'STOP! Wait right there, mister murderer...

Thanks! It's nice to meet another pluviophile. Most people have no appreciation for the rain. I'm not sure if I'm scared or interested...;) Nice to meet you!!

I can assure you the country is not all it's cracked up to be. I've lived out here my whole life and the closest 'city' (Dallas) is 2 hours away. It's great for the times when you don't want to fight traffic or you want to hear crickets or something, but the lack of stimulation is phenomenal. I...

Hello All! I just jumped right in to some of the discussion boards and forgot to say hi first. Sorry about that. I'm INTP, 26, female. I have a hundred varied interests that I will get bored with very shortly, so I won't bother to mention them right now. I've been a lurker on this bored on...

Absolutely correct! But you can spend your entire life bogged down - responsibilities, bills, car repairs, dead-end jobs you hate...there is so much that traps you that you can't get away from. It's those little, annoying, everyday speed bumps that I want to be free from. There is no perfect...

My first response to all of these questions is 'Freedom'. To do what I want, when I want, where I want. Which, obviously, it is not a material possession, but there are possessions which give you freedom, so I'm simply encompassing all of them. Of course, freedom is just another way of saying...

I've been struggling with this myself, and one thing I've found that had some merit goes along with what Paradox said about research - Experimental research. You do need a PhD, but you get to run experiments, do research, and you don't have to do the hands-on feely thing. They pay can be pretty...
