Friend: (insert complicated solution to a problem here) Me: Why don't you just do this? Friend: Why do you always have to one-up me with a simpler solution? or Friend: Damn, the _______ isn't...
Thought it'd be nice to have a spot to share pics or descriptions anything you've been working on or completed, big or small. Doesn't matter if you built a house or cooked a bomb-ass grilled cheese...
It's actually an entry level youth development program through the state, so there isn't any prior experience to join. Their separation rate is pretty high though as well. Not many stick around for...
Aw that's a shame. No national parks or forests around there? And yeah I've had a fun time at this job. Gotta leave and go back to school this summer though. I work for my state...
I work for my state Conservation Corps. It's pretty much ISTP heaven. We do labor contracts for the forest service, state parks, national parks, Caltrans, CALFIRE, DWP, etc. I get to do cool shit...
We're supposed to be big? Haha what made you think that? Welcome btw! I'm 5'5 and 160lbs. I guess I'm semi-big since I gained 15lbs of muscle over the summer. O.o
We had a base camp where we built a latrine, but finding places to cathole while hiking or at work was a bitch, yeah. Haha. We could use TP though!
Bitches I'm BACK! Didn't just survive the program, I fuckin' thrived doing that shit. Dealing with my crew wasn't that bad at all either. I miss the mountains already. :(
Just spent the last 5 months living and working in the mountains, buildin' trail! https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3841/15355193395_c65a763a84_z.jpg ...
Yeah that could be true too, haha. And yeah I'm not sure why it's not more popular. I only knew about it because I signed up for email updates from AmeriCorps. Actually, nope! It wasn't a...
Thank you for the well wishes guys. :D Nope - I'll still have my own tent, so one could quietly manage to do that I believe. :p Got my specific assignment today. I'm going to be a trail worker in...
Thank you! :) Oh, one other thing though--nothing romantic/no sex for 5 months. THAT I'm going to have a problem with... lol. Thank you for the advice! Yeah apparently must of the alumni...
For the most part, I love it. I like feeling... useful I guess. Downsides? Not being able to really fit into a society that's seemingly made for xxxJ's. And also, how much effort it takes to...
This is pretty long, but I love it so fucking much. x93One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic....
Just thought I'd share this with you ISTPers--I just got accepted into this program, where I'll live and work in the mountains (in a tent) for 5 months with a crew of 12-17 people, doing hard trail...
The topic kinda came up in the feels through music thread. So what's your soft spot that gets your lacrimal glands going? Or for those who refuse to ever shed a tear, what makes you feel strong...
Here's one song that kinda invoke some feelings solely from music itself, rather than it being attached to a certain memory by association. It's in Japanese and I have no idea what the fuck the...
Has there been a things that make you cry thread yet? Haha
I guess I meant that we sort of have atypical emotional tendencies. Being moved by music isn't inherently strange, but I'm not sure how many people that are moved by music are also pretty emotionless...
Affected by music? Add me to the list. I remember mentioning in another thread that music is one of the few things that can really get my emotions going. Anywhere from that weird happy feeling I get...
I play a few instruments and do graphic design for a living. I also can draw, but the last major portrait I made was a couple of years ago. I've never taken an art class and never was trained as a...
The Se genres you had listed (dubstep, house, edm) have more obvious and steady rhythms, usually 120bpm, which is the most danceable tempo. I think that's why you associated them with Se But...
Yeahhh, I'm not fond of all the Se choices either. Particularly dubstep. Eek. Early dubstep sounded alright to me, but I find most of it to just be kind of... nauseating? I like random things...
1. Working part-time as a graphic designer, also self-employed doing random freelance work (ALYSSA MORENO | DESIGNER if you need anything ;)) 2. Free time = read random shit on the internet, learn...
Welp, I fucking hate writing... pretty much in all forms except conversations (posts/chats). Though, when I do write, I'm apparently excellent at it.
I wouldn't say I'm noncommittal... just very guarded. When I love someone, I really fucking love them. I'm just very, very wary of having my loyalty exploited, so I keep people at a distance until I...
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. - Teddy Roosevelt
This. Apparently I'm missing #2, which means I lack diplomacy and I need to learn to work behind-the-scenes.. which is BS because I'm actually a very diplomatic person that hates being in the...
I have a fwb (that happens to be hispanic, haha) that I'd see on and off for almost 2 years, and we'd see each other ever 4 - 8 weeks because we're both broke and live quite far apart. I have a high...
Haha I don't know what to say about it. It's fun, and I crave it a lot? Eh, lol.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm not a fan of dancing. I think there's only one or two times in my life that I can think of that I went dancing and enjoyed it. The friends that went with me those...
Guilt does nothing for me. When I think of all the bad shit that might happen I just shrug it off. I have too much of that I don't give a fuck attitude. Guilt works a little better when other...
I love dogs. I feel like I can understand them pretty well--probably more so than people. I think I'm drawn more to them then they are to me, haha. The dog might be curious about you because...
I may superficially seem like an adrenaline junkie, and I've thrown the term around to describe myself jokingly since I'm into snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing and the like, but I am...
You must be a pretty functional stoner then. I'm jealous, haha. Everything's more interesting for me too but I'm pretty useless once I'm stoned, unless I'm doing something physically active....
One day, when I'm not a broke-ass, I'll get my AR-15. I wanna capitalize on my random knack for shooting that I just discovered when my dad and uncle took me to the range. :D
w00t! Glad someone else understands the feeling! Haha. I feel like I fall less when I'm going while stoned. At the same time I can take in the scenery and appreciate the beauty of the outdoors in a...
Geeking out for the Doctor Who 50th, har har. http://i43.tinypic.com/1z14f2r.jpg Haha sorry for the ultra late reply! This is actually in the San Bernardino Forest, near Holcomb Valley. :)...
I smoke basically every night from a nice, tall bong when I'm done for the day. I don't smoke in the day unless I'm doing something active. Weed + snowboarding / rock climbing / mountain biking =...
Habits? What habits? I sleep whenevs.
Random! Well, this is an old thread but I'm down to talk about sex. Not sure how to start though. Er, sex is fun?
Me hiking out from a rock climbing trip on the weekend. :) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7445/10529560564_23572aa407_z.jpg And some POV shots from my GoPro, because they're stereotypically...
No problem. :) I accept them reluctantly, haha. Well, now I learned to just say thank you instead of coming up with reasons why I don't deserve a compliment. And I rarely give any...
Hm. I can't really relate to any of this. I think most of the traits and characteristics you're describing aren't solely caused by, er, ISTPness. Maybe he's a narcissist? Just throwing things out...
Ignorance. Arrogance. General douchebaggery. Lack of spontaneity. Stubbornness. You never know man. I've perfected the art of acting like I'm fine when I'm fucking dying inside.
Fuck studying. :)'
