I really ought to be in bed. I think my brain has evaporated in the heat. Leastways I think I used to have a brain. Maybe I misplaced it somewhere.

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a creative hotbed of artistic talent.
You're always making pictures in your mind, especially when you're bored.
You are easily inspired to think colorful, interesting thoughts.
And although it may be hard to express these thoughts, it won't always be.



I like that "creative hotbed" business. Let's have that on demand, hmm?

I did this one a while ago:

I did this some time before - I picked another picture, I don't remember which - and so got other results. Probably equally valid.

I like yours - and it probably applies to me, too, especially since I almost picked that picture. It would have been my second choice.

I picked the one I picked because it reminded me of a rather interesting painting in the National Gallery of Canada. Or maybe it's just that the similar lines appeal to me in both cases.

I went for the red-purple colour and the sparkly bits.

people are impressed with your imagination

I wish.
I feel I'm on the scrapheap. Sometimes I think my life is a waste of space.

You know better than that. Anyone who appreciates Conrad de Montferrat is definitely a talented, insightful and worthwhile person!

Thanks.
But I've had some knock-backs jobwise, and really wonder if I have anything to look forward to at all in life.

Again? I'm sorry to hear it. How frustrating.

and really wonder if I have anything to look forward to at all in life.

This too shall pass. (The most medieval truism I could think of off the tope of my head.) Let Conrad comfort you, for a change.

See my LJ.
I found out the delay over hearing from St As was because the person to whom they'd offered the job hadn't responded yet. I didn't get a place on an archives training programme I'd applied for here in Glasgow. And then, the Housing Benefit office still hasn't got me processed, so that's a second rent-day coming up before I've received any help at all with payments...

He's good at that, the dear boy.
After all, he was about my age when he took the cross in '86, when his wife died. He changed his fortunes then. Mind, he had the advantage of wealth, power and influence.

But I can't see myself ever getting back to Italy.

A big wrench for him, a big change in his life.

Mind, he had the advantage of wealth, power and influence.

That probably makes hardship easier to bear, or at least, not so stifling.

Never say never.

Yes. And I've never had the confidence to take risks because I've never had enough of a safety-net. If my family had had more money, or owned their own house, I'd be less afraid of the future.

Yes, I share some of that too. Don't have a family... don't own anything... Simply try not to worry too much about the future.

That's a good one! That was my second choice, sort of my default... I like the notion of 'fancy and fantasy' and internal focus.

choose the purple one:

Your brain is always looking for the connections in life.
You always amaze your friends by figuring out things first.
You're also good at connecting people - and often play match maker.
You see the world in fluid, flexible terms. Nothing is black or white.


not so sure about that, i like making connections, but between people? rather between ideas

Connections between things interests me to - especially connections between ideas, or philosophies, or cultural patterns.

The world is fluid and flexible. How could anyone see it otherwise?
