Jessica's Personality Profile

Nothing that I didn't already know from my own personal awareness, but I love that it can all be stored in one place :)

A Rare Breed... One-of-a-kind!

I'm certainly one-of-a-kind. I'm an INFJ personality type, which is THE RAREST of all 16 types, accounting for only 1-3% of the population. I'm also EQUALLY middle-brained... which is so rare, I can barely find any research on it. Most people tend to lean towards one side or the other, one side will always have more dominance... nope, not me! Instead my brain is always at a constant battle with itself. Internally, I have way more going on inside my head than anyone could realize. To some, I might come across as shy, or snobby, or quiet, or stand-off-ish... but those close to me know that this is not the case at all! Sometimes I'm just too busy internally processing everything going on around me AND inside me. Although my natural charicteristics tend to be timid and shy at first, this is just how I am before I am completely comfortable with someone.... which, to my dismay, does indeed take a very long time to get to that point.

So what you see is certainly not what you get! I'm a complicated puzzle, and only those who I fully trust and allow in, will be allowed to see ALL the pieces. And even then, good luck trying to figure me out ;). I'm just hoping that one day, the right person will take the time to uncover the real me deep inside... all the rest of ya are missing out!! :)

Discovering Dream Boards

As you can see, I can never seem to "commit" to a project and FOLLOW THROUGH to FINISH it. I've got tons and tons of scrapbooks, Art Journals, "Happy Books", crafts, websites, and many various creative projects STARTED... I'm always having these inspirational ideas... then never really seem to get past the first step. I need to find a way to overcome that. I blame it on my "lack of time" but then there are times where I hunger to work creatively on something, then stare blankly at it for hours, accomplishing nothing. :(

Right now I'm in one of those, Creative Personal Growth moods. I like to call it "Jessica Time". I've been surfing e-courses and dreaming about how much I would love to take one (they are VERY expensive and require the dedication to COMMIT... a trait which I lack.) And I JUST moments ago discovered Dream Boards.

I'm basically just compiling a blog of links/references for later... when I force myself to MAKE the time to explore my creative pursuits. I'm kind of hoping Hurricaine Irene traps me in the house all day tomorrow so that I can have an EXCUSE to make things happen!! I'm so intrigued by collages and dreams (like 50% of my purchased blank journals have the word "Dream" on the cover!) and I can't wait to research more and create my first one!

Now, I'm off to locate some magazines! I know I have thrown most of them out over the years, but I have also been collecting "cut outs" for many years as well, hoping to one day do SOMETHING with them. (aka another perfect example of an "idea" that never made it past the first stage of the project!) Now I've just got to find them!!

R.I.P. Kristin C. Gagne

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby
