Carousel -- Week Ending 23rd November 2007

[ 23 November 2007 ]

Happy carousel day!

<3 The Birds, a Peter Lindbergh photoshoot featuring Sasha Pivovarova. Creepy & awesome! I have a secret fear of birds so this photoshoot kind of gives me the icks, but hey…

<3 Everything I Know About Presentations, I Learned in Theatre School.

<3 50 Ways You Can Be The Change from We The Change. Simple but effective.

<3 To do: learn what your love language type is. Have your lover (or potential lover, wink wink) take the test as well. Then click through to learn how to make others feel loved in their own language.

<3 To do (part two): learn your Jung type. I love tests like this & my result (ENFP) seems almost uncannily accurate…

outgoing, social, disorganized, easily talked into doing silly things, spontaneous, wild and crazy, acts without thinking, good at getting people to have fun, pleasure seeking, irresponsible, physically affectionate, risk taker, thrill seeker, likely to have or want a tattoo, adventurous, unprepared, attention seeking, hyperactive, irrational, loves crowds, rule breaker, prone to losing things, seductive, easily distracted, open, revealing, comfortable in unfamiliar situations, attracted to strange things, non punctual, likes to stand out, likes to try new things, fun seeker, unconventional, energetic, impulsive, empathetic, dangerous, loving, attachment prone, prone to fantasy…

<3 Donatella Versace’s Rules of Style for men! Whether you follow them, of course, is entirely up to you… but it’s still interesting!

<3 9 Ways To Overcome Jealousy from Think Simple. Be Decisive. (& I would add to that list, “use EFT”, but you know!)

Enjoy the rest of your Friday!


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. hehe i am enfp too … though i don’t need a test to tell me i’m disorganised … i even invested in a personal organiser and then i lost it somewhere (can’t remember where). golly gosh the IRONY :P

    anyway, petite, thanks for the ‘we the change’ link. i need to address a lot of those points at the moment.

  2. I’m scared of birds too! that photoshoot was a little creepy for me

    <3 Ali · Nov 23, 03:00 PM · #

  3. that photoshoot is pretty awesome. I would love to have a gigantic pile of vogue magazines :3
    thanks, as always, for all the links :)!
    xoxo

  4. Woot! Go us ENFP types.

    <3 Traveler · Nov 23, 03:23 PM · #

  5. thanks so much for the link about jealousy, I like to think I’m not the jealous type but.. I do find myself constantly comparing myself to other people which yeah. is not particularly helpful :P

    thanks gala. hope you are well and bursting with goodness.xxoo

    oh and I loooove that photo of the carousel all lit up against the sky, stuff of fairytales..

    <3 cookie · Nov 23, 03:38 PM · #

  6. What a gorgeous photo! And Jung is, well, you might say he’s the righteous fellow. INFP here, and happy about it. Regarding the ‘rules’, I’m fairly sure well-tailored and low-waisted are mutually exclusive in trousers.

    <3 Sir Frederick Chook · Nov 23, 04:07 PM · #

  7. I’m the same as you, Gala! (ENFP-wise).
    It says ‘Journalist’...is that meant to be a career suggestion? Because I’m doing that at uni next year _. Hm, spooky.

    <3 nikka · Nov 23, 04:12 PM · #

  8. ENFP = VIRGO.

    i should know; my sister is one: i live with the girl.
    seriously, though.

    INTP – “Architect”. Greatest precision in thought and language. Can readily discern contradictions and inconsistencies. The world exists primarily to be understood. 3.3% of total population.

    i am such an aquarius.

  9. i always loooooove your carrousel! i have a mini carrousel specially for you:

    i’m so sorry for the linky-mess, but i hope you enjoy the visual goodies!

  10. Fabulous links. I especially liked “50 Ways You Can Be the Change” and this point it made:

    2. Take Responsibility For Your Actions
    And stop making excuses

    I see this everyday, everywhere. It irritates me to no end when people throw excuse after excuse at everyone in the vicinity about how it just isn’t their fault.

    Of course, my hands aren’t lily white either; I have made excuses unconciously from time to time, but I’m working on it, and find myself spreading the blame less often than I was before. It’s definitely a good lesson to be learned by everyone, regardless of age.

    <3 Ariel · Nov 23, 04:37 PM · #

  11. That photoshoot is awesome! thanks for the link. I love photoshoots where you can see the story that the photographer is trying to portray, it really adds another dimension to a fashion shoot.

    much love and shooting stars xxxx

    <3 Toria · Nov 23, 05:06 PM · #

  12. I finally took the test, twice and I came out as INFJ both times. It’s very accurate for me though.

    <3 Hanna Leigh · Nov 23, 05:16 PM · #

  13. How queer! I took my MBTI 3 times before (at age 8, 12 and 16) in a structured environment with counsellors on-hand and my results were always ESTJ. This time, at age 23, my result turned out to be an ENTP. Wowzer! But it reads accurate enough…

    <3 Iconoclastic · Nov 23, 05:34 PM · #

  14. i am INTJ... very strange how accurate it is!! I love these types of things :D

    <3 kakeline · Nov 23, 05:49 PM · #

  15. I am ENFP too! My favourite question was “I am weird” (I ticked “Very Accurate” for this..).
    It also said something about how I should be a journalist, which is scary, seeing as I’m planning on doing a journalism degree in university.

    <3 Miri · Nov 23, 05:55 PM · #

  16. I’m an INFP. Weird, because I’ve always gotten ENFP before, but this fits so well it’s creepy.

    <3 Becca · Nov 23, 06:00 PM · #

  17. i absolutely love the mbti and i terribly try to type people when i meet them. maybe its my infp nature? sashas great in that photoshoot, too!

    <3 karen · Nov 23, 06:40 PM · #

  18. I did this test a while back, I’m an ENFP too, but being that, I read from Keirsey’s Temperament (which relies on a very similar model) that its actually quite rare with only 4% of the general population inhabiting those attributes.

    Do you think that maybe certain personality types are drawn to these tests or maybe even you websites? Maybe thats why we all love your site so much!

    There is only one thing that i disagree with on the profile and thats disorganized! I know it sounds really dumb but I’ve been trying to make a conscious effort to be organized and messy in order to take a bit more control over my life rather than just letting things happen.

    I especially love love love my job options, why having a record store is my private dream! Or doing freelance work so I can give all of my possible loves (music/art/writing) a chance!

    <3 christy · Nov 23, 06:50 PM · #

  19. I love all the messed-up pearl necklaces in the photoshoot. Yum!

    <3 Nadine · Nov 23, 07:19 PM · #

  20. “The Birds” fotoshoot is really brilliant!

    <3 Sonja · Nov 23, 10:55 PM · #

  21. great links gala!

    racel radness, I’m an infp and an aquarius too, lol:D

    <3 kallirhoe · Nov 24, 02:18 AM · #

  22. oops that was supposed to be intp…

    <3 kallirhoe · Nov 24, 02:21 AM · #

  23. I’m absolutely terrified of birds. when I went to toronto I literally screamed when a bunch of pidgeons flew by… but at least I made some torontonians day.. “lookit the stupid tourist!!” :D

    <3 lalumiere · Nov 24, 06:13 AM · #

  24. Woh, the Jung Type described me to a T. Its a little scary how accurate that was! I’m an INFP. I think I remember doing that in high school and was the same Jung Type then too. I’m such a sucker for tests like this.

    That Birds photoshoot is so prettty. I love all the tangled pearls too. And the movie, so that helps too. :)

    <3 Chesney · Nov 24, 06:38 AM · #

  25. Ooh.. Out of the 3 tests I did I was an ESFP twice and then an ESFJ.. I’m somewhere between those lol… I know.. I know.. it shouldn’t be possible… but I’ll take the test more often and hopefully get the same result more often :) Too eager to please either way. Been wanting to do one of these tests for AGES and I’m pleased you found one for us!

    <3 Jenny · Nov 24, 08:18 AM · #

  26. INFP; which is true. I’ve become more and more introverted as I’ve got older (saves me getting my paws burned & into trouble!)

    <3 nana · Nov 24, 08:21 AM · #

  27. i’m an enfp too! it describes me wonderfully! xxx

    <3 sophie~ · Nov 24, 10:59 AM · #

  28. I’m an INFJ, and it’s amazingly accurate. It helps me to know that the way I react to things is influenced by my personality. Thanks, Gala!

    <3 Alice · Nov 24, 11:13 AM · #

  29. INFJ “author”
    cool.

    <3 Malarchy Mofarky · Nov 24, 11:13 AM · #

  30. Oh, I love the jung test! Sometimes I get ENFP, sometimes INFP, Whether or not I’m introverted or not really depends on my mood, I guess…

    <3 lilah · Nov 24, 12:08 PM · #

  31. Those Jung personality tests are freakily accurate – even down to jobs! INFJ – working in magazines

    <3 sarahj · Nov 24, 12:18 PM · #

  32. I’m an INFP and how I’d love to be an extovert :-( No matter how hard I try, I don’t like myself when I’m not being a little, yearning introvert.

    I do love tests though, thanks for your links yet again!

    <3 Nic · Nov 24, 02:33 PM · #

  33. On that love language test site I also took the apology test. You should do it.
    I was ‘Acept responsibility’ which was true

    <3 lady jade · Nov 24, 04:17 PM · #

  34. INFP

    ;)

    <3 Lilly · Nov 24, 05:40 PM · #

  35. i’m ENFP too.
    and i have a innate love of birds :]

    <3 flaminko · Nov 24, 06:08 PM · #

  36. I took the Jung test a while back and was an INFP. Now I took it and I’m an ENFP, but my extroverted side and introverted side are pretty balanced out…Funny, I guess I’m a swinger. ;-)

    Thanks for the links, Gala!

    Oh and We The Change is a GREAT blog.

    <3 Yaffa · Nov 24, 07:11 PM · #

  37. I’m ISTJ, and while some of it doesn’t fit (I am totally sensitive to the hardship of others!) a lot of it does. And at least I know I’m in the right career now!!

    <3 A · Nov 25, 12:59 AM · #

  38. Gala, you rock girl! Thanks so much for the mention. Much loved and appreciated. :]

    Love & Gratitude,
    Tina
