Love Is Based On

It is funny how accurate this blogquiz is.

Your Love is Based on Friendship

For you, chemistry doesn't really happen without compatibility. Companionship and openness are the most important parts of your relationships. Whoever you love should be your best friend. And falling in love with a good friend is never out of the question. Why your love can last: You only fall for people who you truly understand... and who truly understand you Why your love can fail: Sometimes you don't admit how important physical chemistry is to you

What Is Your Love Based On?

Tell Tale Heart

I found this cool animation of the Edgar Allan Poe poem. I liked this poem, it was scary. Enjoy.

Your Armor

I've been posting a lot of YouTube videos today. LOL I enjoy Charlotte Martin a lot too, I love this song too.

Bouncing Off Clouds

Bouncing off of clouds is off of Toris' new CD, American Girl Posse. I love the CD, it is awesome, several great songs.

Crucify

I have loved this song every since the first time I heard it, 3 years ago from an old friend. I love the imagery of her words, religious symbolism, and her fight for herself in the song. I never new their was a video, but the video is just awesome.
Here are the lyrics:
Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then i get affraid what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what god needs
One more victim


Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day i crucify myself
Nothing i do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day i crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in chains


Got a kick for a dog beggin' for love
I gotta have my suffering
So that i can have my cross
I know a cat named easter
He says will you ever learn
You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the brid


I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start
My own religion


Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day i crucify myself
Nothing i do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day i crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in chains


Please be
Save me
I cry


Looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Where are those angels
When you need them


Why do we crucify ourselves
Every day i crucify myself
Nothing i do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day i crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in chains


Why do we change
Crucify ourselves
Everyday


Never going back again
Crucify myself again
You know
Never going back again to
Crucify myself
Everyday

Sweet Sacrifice

I really like this song a lot. Now that I have cable internet, I now can watch Youtube and I found this video.

Rambling Update

It's almost 4 AM, Friday morning. I haven't been on in a long time, a few weeks to be exact, I've worried a couple of my on-line buds. Here is an update on my life. I am definately loving my new found freedom in my maroon Toyota Camry. It is a dream, at least to me it is. I only had one repair that I had to get done on it, the starter went out on it, luckily had the right amount left in order to get it fixed. I didn't have a car for a few days, so it sucked. I dyed my hair brown black, which is darker. I'll post pictures to show, I like it a lot better. It makes my eyes pop out. I was nervous having my friend Amber dye my hair, because of the disaster that happened with an old aquaintance of mine. I'm glad I did it and it looks wonderful. My fourth was great. I came down to Longview to see my mom, and I spent the fourth at my cousin Marsha's, who is a fabulous host. I saw Jeremy and his girlfriend Mary and their 4 children, Casey and his girlfriends. And when Carri, Levi, and I walked to the lake we rain into my other nephew Rick and his Wife Jessica, they sat with us. It was a good 15 minutes of fireworks, the best part to me was my family though, the fireworks was not that spactacular to me. I"m not a holiday person, never have been. My family never really celebrated them or made them special, so I don't feel like I"m missing much when I don't celebrate or do anything. I'm happy that others are happy, but that is about it. I'm experiencing some new things with my friendship with Monte, he has a new lady friend, and it is an interesting experience. One I have to learn some more things from and test some of my theories about him. I want to believe was he says about him and I. I don't think I'm going to lose our bond of friendship, it is being tested again. I"m hoping to be back up on the internet soon, in the next couple of weeks. I'm at my friend Ambers. I am driving to Seattle with her and her sister to pick up her boyfriend Mark, who is coming in on a ferry from Canada. I have never met him, but I have heard some good things about him.

Sunday Serenity #5

What brings me serenity is gaining order in my life. I gained order, by obtaining a car, which is essential for me to keep my freedom. I rearranged my living room this evening, tearing down some old furniture that was not serving me well, hooking up new speakers, and I like the placement a lot better. Serenity isn’t just inside of us, but is in our homes, cars, and the places that are around us. If I want peace, I have to make my environment organized, peaceful, and happy, not for company but for my own comfort and enjoyment. I bought some scents to enjoy in my own, and other things that will bring a sense of serenity, peace, and a well balanced life for me. Learning to make notes to keep me mindful of what needs to get done, listening to the people, who truly are my loved ones is also essential for me too,even when I don't like what they are saying.

Odd Ball

Mr. Man, my friend Montes' cat. Isn't he cute? Though, he has nothing to do what I am writing about, I felt the need to include him. He used to be my cat, but I gave him to Monte and now Monte and him are partners for life. LOL




I am feeling rested now, this morning at 5 AM I drove Carissa and Amber up to Seattle, so that Carissa can meet the ferry to take her to Victoria to see her boyfriend. It was a good trip good laughs, great music, and pretty scenery, well not until the sun light came across the sky. On the way home was not so good. Rain, rain, rain, pouring down from the sky made it hard to see, but it was still a great trip. The last 20 miles home I had a hard time keeping my eyes open. Monte kept me awake on the phone until I got home and then I went straight to bed. Sleep felt good, I didn’t sleep well, because the combination of being on a couch and in a strange house that was not my own. I feel much better, thank God. I bought some speakers that were better than my old ones for $40 and I am looking forward to hooking them up tonight, now that I am feeling awake. LOL I have some big plans, and though last night I was feeling unsure of things, it is funny how the light of day can bring some perspective on things. I had a good talk with Amber on the way back home this morning, she is going through some major changes herself, the unknown is a frightening place, but we can’t stand still waiting for things to happen, we have to keep moving on and be the strong capable people we are. I’ve been questioning myself, repeating patterns that are not serving me well, giving up on myself, my perspective, beliefs, and I don’t want that bull in my life. Hibernating myself away from the world is not going to solve my problems or keep me safe, I have some plans. My big sister Vickie wants to purchase an apartment 4 or 8 plex here in Vancouver where I live and have me manage it with her. That would be a cool investment opportunity for me, and I’m going to do it. So, I’ll be searching out some possibilities in that area. Second, I’m going to continue to lose the weight that I so desperately want to lose and keep on going down that path. I just bought Bob Greens’ new book, “The Best Life Diet” and I also got the companion book to keep track of your progress. I am looking forward to reading it, and I am also looking forward to reading Wynonna Judds’ biography, I read her moms, but Wynonna is a fascinating woman in my eyes, so is Ashley. Actually, all three are awesome.

My Ramblings

I'm spending the night at my friend Ambers' place. I'm driving to Seattle with her and her little sister Carissa. Carissa is going to Victoria Canada to see her boyfriend for a week, I'm excited for her. I've never been to Victoria Canada, but I've been told it looks a lot like Europe. I want to go someday. A lot of interesting things have been happening for me lately. I've been enjoying my freedom, but I fear I may be going way too far in my enjoyment. I have felt like a caged tiger for too long and now I'm out on the prowl, so to speak. I don't want what happened last time to happen now. I also realize that I need to settle down, figure things out, work on my future, instead of just waiting for it to happen. It isn't going. I'm not happy, though I should be. What the hell do I want to do with the next 30 or so years? I also don't want to concentrate on a certain person, that I've been wasting so much time and energy on, because frankly, it is going to make me more miserable. I have these voices in my life that all have opinions, advice, including my own, and I'm not sure where I stand, what to do, or even what I want? My whole life I've been doing what everyone else wants, holding back my emotions and feelings, letting everyone have control, but never ceasing the ropes myself. What kind of life am I going to have if it keeps up? I go for people who are not available for me? That are in constand mood swings and other dilemas and I'm here wondering what the heck? Should I do what I want to do, take a week or two to myself, no contact, and breath in my own thoughts, dreams, revelations, and cherish what I need to. Is that selfish? Or is it necessary for my own sanity?

Freedom In Four Wheels

These pictures are from the day I purchased my car. I have been without my own transportation for a year, and now I am FREE at last. I felt good today. I discovered at Lane Bryant that I am a smaller size than I thought, which shocked me. I've been losing weight, but didn't realize how much my body has changed, until I tried on clothes. No one else saw either, until I got smaller size, instead of wearing tents as garments.lol

Bright, Shinning, and Maroon

I finally bought my new car, well it is used, but new to me. It is a 1992 Toyota Camary. I love it, it is comfortable and has all the options that I want on it. I love it. I'm so happy.

Full Moon

I took this picture of the moon above my apartment from my deck outside. I live next the I5 and I saw this the other night. I didn't realize that we were going to have a second full moon in one month. That is rare, I gather from what some people are saying, I have no idea. This is the first nature shot I have taken since I have received my camera back. I've been enjoying it, and have had some major fun. I can't wait until I can go on some nature walks and take more pictures.

More Pictures Of Me.

Me with make up on. Wow


Amber and Russ. It was Monte's birthday and this was on his deck.

Sunday Serenity #4

Well, this week, it's been tough, too many thoughts buzzying in my brain cells after my near death experience and facing the challenges of yet another change that I must make for me. Something that brings me serenity has been a tough one for me today, but getting out and getting some fresh air. Feeling the sun on my face, the breeze on my body, and accomplishing something on my own, brings me peace of mind.

Home On Leave

This afternoon my nephew Jesse and my sister in law Kris called to invite me out to lunch, before he goes back on Sunday. It was great seeing them both, here are a few pictures of Jesse and Kris that I took. He is going to Iraq in November, I’m sad about it, but he is in my prayers.

Two New Pictures

This is my long time friend Amber and I.


This is my nephew Ric and I taken today.

Sunday Serenity #3

This weeks Sunday Serenity I decided to write about some important people in my life. Since Thursday night, when I had the scare of my life and I received my diagnosis, I realized some things about myself. And I have made some huge decisions, I have to take better care of myself, and I have to accept offers of help and the love that some people have for me too. I am at peace with these wonderful people in my life, My sisters, Vickie, Joy, and Carri, my mom, Monte, and Amber, and anyone else whom I am forgetting.

Being Hit With Curve Balls

I don’t know how to start this blog, I just know that I have to write it. It Is something that is on my mind, because another disaster hit me hard on Thursday night. My leg swelled up, and when I laid down my breathing was constricted. My friend Monte called around 9 PM and I couldn’t catch my breath and I stood up, to turn on the light, and I was labored in my breathing. When I stood up I suddenly felt hot, I couldn’t catch my breath. I asked Monte to come and take me to the hospital, but he said no, that I should call for an ambulance instead. So, I hung up on him and I called for help, I gave my information to the phone operator and I waited for the ambulance, I called Monte back and I let him know what I did. He stayed on the phone with me until they arrived, which didn’t take too long. I made it to the Salmon Creek Legacy Hospital here in Vancouver Washington. It is a newly built hospital and the staff was excellent. I was admitted in and they ran all kinds of test, I felt like a pin cushion. My diagnosis was congestive heart failure, yes, at 33 years old I have congestive heart failure. I’m feeling emotionally upset, thinking to myself what more can go wrong, how much more can I take, will these curves balls stop hitting me in my head, chest, and face? I’m feeling battered, drained, upset, loved, and blessed all at once. Monte, whom I have had a tremulous relationship with for a bit, showed me how much he truly is a friend to me. He called my sister Vickie, the only phone number I could remember, I couldn’t remember my moms number, so he called my sister and left her a nice message about me. She of coursed called my mom, and so forth. Monte visited me in the hospital for a few hours after work. Sitting in the hospital bed, waiting for answers to questions, waiting to get things done, and then hearing what the outcome was, finally. I felt relieved when I left this evening, but sitting at home, thinking about the daunting task that I am going to have ahead of me, changing my diet again, (I was diagnosis with diabetes 4 years ago, and I have managed to not need meds, because I changed my diet.) Well, I believe that saying is true, “be like elastic, learn to stretch with whatever comes along.” I don’t know who said it, but I remember someone saying it to me when I was younger.

33 & Still Kicking It!

This is a photo journal of my thirty third birthday, which was Monday. I got to spend time with some family and great friends. I had a great day. Thank you Monte for dinner, the drive up to Longview to see my mom, and of course the Tori Amos DVD collection. Thanks mom, it was great seeing you and visiting with you. It was awesome seeing you Carri and Levi too. It was awesome seeing Amber and her family. I'm blessed.

Hey Cinderella

I bought the Cinderella DVD and I watched it last night. It brought back so many memories for me. I remember I had the story book when I was a little girl. The fantasy of finding my prince charming, the evil step mother and the evil step sisters resonated within the little girl. I felt like a little girl again when I watched it, the romance, the beauty even faced with the viciousness of the people who were suppose to love and take of you, I could feel myself in that story and I also feel that way about Snow White too. I want that too, someday I will have that one.

My Evolving Life

I’ve been feeling darn good lately, a huge boulder has been lifted from my entire body. I feel like I can finally put Rick behind me and move on with my life, which is something I have been wanting and aching to do for the last 2 years. He has been dead for over three years now, and I do miss him, but I also realized some things about our relationship and what I truly want in a new one. I also realized that I need to do a lot of hard work to get where I am confident, secure, and happy with me. This week has been a whirlwind of activities that I have been dying to do for a long time. My awesome friend, Monte, has been my chauffer, I am currently seeking to purchase a car, and he has been gracious enough to take me and to also shop with me. I have never meet a man that loves to shop, and no he is not gay, I think that is only a figment of some ones imagination that only gay men love to shop. I got some things that I have been needing badly and I stocked up on them all, especially, my most feared loss of a certain item, toilet paper. Yes, I have a fear of not having any when I need it, it stems from my childhood where we often went without it and it is no fun wiping oneself with odd things. I apologize, I just gave too much information, didn’t I? LOL
Well, on to one of my favorite subjects, MUSIC, I love it. I splurged and I bought myself the new Tori Amos CD American Girl Posse. I absolutely love it, as usual, Tori showed us her passion and zest for music, and what she believes in. I absolutely love the song Big Wheel. I bought the deluxe version, I have the deluxe of The Beekeeper and Scarletts’ Walk too. Check her music out, if you haven’t heard it.

Sunday Serenity #2

This picture that I took up in Northern Washington at Renault Lake at the national rain forrest, somehow brings me peace. Maybe, it is the good memories that I associate with the picture, as well as the image. Water, somehow brings peace of mind and a calmiing affect to my spirit.

Roy Orbison

1. Name a few of your favorite Roy Orbison songs.
Pretty Woman, Only The lonely, Blue Bayou, and In Dreams

2. Tell us one of your favorite Roy Orbison lyrics.
Orbison Roy In Dreams Lyrics
"In Dreams" by Roy Orbison

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper:
"Go to sleep, everything is alright"

I close my eyes
Then I drift away
Into the magic night
I softly sway
Oh smile and pray
Like dreamers do
Then I fall asleep
To dream my dreams of you

In dreams...I walk with you
In dreams...I talk to you
In dreams...Your mine

All of the time
We're together
In dreams...In dreams

But just before the dawn
I awake and find you gone
I can't help it...I can't help it
If I cry
I remember
That you said goodbye
To end all these things
And I'll be happy in my dreams
Only in dreams
In beautiful dreams

3. How cool did Roy look in those dark glasses?
yes, he looked awesome.

Questions To Ponder

How would you go about purifying your own soul?
I would spend a few days in quiet thought and contemplation, drinking plenty of water, and be in my own thoughts.

If you were in a "Noah" situation, which animals would you take with you? Which would you leave behind?
I think the only animals I would not take with me would be the poisonous snakes and spiders.

Where would you go if you wanted to spend a week alone without contact with civilization?
My dream would be on a quiet island near the beach.

Sunday Serenity #1

My sister Joy started a Meme called the Sunday Serenity. I thought, I would participate. I have always liked this poem. Not only does it invoke peace for me. It gives inspiration and advice to follow on your life's journey, though the nay sayers and backbiters will stand in your way.
The Journey:
By Mary Oliver

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice--
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do--
determined to save
the only life you could save.

Week of April 15: 3 Wishes
If you had 3 wishes granted what would you wish for?

till next time...





If I had three wishes, man, oh man. My first wish would be to have as much money as Oprah, so I could do whatever I wanted, which would be, to help family, get myself set up, and give some to charity. My second wish would be to weigh 135 pounds and be healthy. My third wish would be to have this court battle that I am in overwith and done, so I can move on.

Sunday 7

Sunday 7:
I saw someone have the Sunday seven on her page, but there was no link to the host or place to get the link listed on her site. So, I do like the concept of naming the blessing of the week, every Sunday, that I am going to incorporate it. Though, I will have to admit that sometimes I am going to have a hard time finding seven blessing for a week and also I might forget to post my Sunday 7. Well, here are my 7 blessings for this week.
1) My friend Monte is a blessing, letting me borrow movies, finding me a good microwave and phone at a garage sale this weekend. And of course, his humor and wit.

2) My sister Joy, who, even though, in the dumps after the loss of some things in her life, still chats with me on MSN and we can boo whoo together and still laugh and give helpful advice to each other.

3) My warm bed at night, with pillows, blankets, and sheets that keep me warm and cozy.

4) My apartment inspection going well and the humor that my manager and repair guy had that day.

5) My negative doubts that happen that give me a chance to grow and develop, as a person.

6) Having divine inspiration in the smalls things in life, my plants, movies, music, sisters, brothers, friends, and even strangers, that let you know that you really don’t have it so bad after all.

7) I am a blessing to me.

Earth Day

Tomorrow is earth day, it has been on my mind since I watched Oprah yesterday and learned some helpful hints, though some of the suggestions were expensive. The environment is important, everything on the Earth depends on each other to live. Balance is the key, I do believe that, wholeheartedly. There are some things we can do, and there are some things that seem radical to the extreme. My mom recycles, a lot. She saves everything possible, jars, plastics, and reuses them, I can see the value in doing that. I do use the butter containers, and yogurt containers as storage containers, (something my mom taught me), why waste the plastic and buy expensive containers, when you are getting two uses out of one product. I have a patio, and I want to so badly start a patio garden. I am in the process of moving, and that is one of the requirements for my new place. I want to be able to grow tomato’s, a mesculan mix of greens, herbs, and pretty flowers on the patio. I would also love to feed the birds too. I have not thought about the canvas bag idea for grocery shopping, that is something I am considering doing. It is not expensive to buy a bag that is big enough for groceries and that will help save on paper products and therefore save some trees. Any tips on container gardening would be very much appreciated by me, since I am a novice.

Green For Earth Day!

Your Life is 52% Green

You're life is pretty green - and you know a lot about how to live an eco friendly life. So congratulate yourself for being good to the earth. And maybe think about implementing some of the ideas from this quiz!

Autism Warning Signs.

Oprah recently aired a segment about Autism. I wrote a blog about it just recently. This month is national autism awareness month, and I have a good friend, whose son has autism. There are some warning signs and I thought I'd share them with you all.

Sage

I enjoy herbs. They can be used for many different purposes. Natural things that come from the earth give us balance and good health.
It is a family trait, my sister Vickie and I talk about it a lot. We both have a green thumb. I have always loved the smell of sage and the green color. There are many different varieties available. You don't have to just use it for stuffing. It is good on fish, salads, and even sage tea is good. I have been wanting to grow some of my own herbs.

Drivers Use Your Car For Something Other Than A Battering Ram

My friends brother got hit by a car today. Amber has been a friend of mine since we were both In 8th grade and her entire family is awesome. Gary was crossing the street, in a cross walk, and this car hit him. I don’t understand how people can drive so carelessly. I am a driver, I keep my eyes on the road and everything that is around me. You never know what is going to come before you, especially when you come to a cross walk and you are stopped at a light. Your vehicle is a dangerous weapon, it isn’t only used for transportation and hauling you and the kids around everywhere, it is also deadly and dangerous. I wish that people would have enough sense to be thoughtful and considerate and not be in a hurry to get to their destination, that they forget common curtsey of others around them. Get off the phone, stop putting makeup on in the mirror while driving, stop faxing, texting, and engaging in other things besides paying attention to what you are maneuvering around. There are others in this world besides you. I’m just frustrated by the lack of consideration. Please, I am asking everyone, be more aware of things around you, especially when you are driving. And remember the rule in all hand books, pedestrians have the right of way.

Movie Marathon

I borrowed some movies from my friend Monte and so the last three nights, I’ve been having a movie marathon. The first movie I watched, “Cruel Intentions” starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon, and Ryan Phillippe. Monte recommended this movie. I see why he liked it. It is intriguing, it is a different type of love story, and though the end was sad, it was well worth the watch.
“Final Destination” starring Devon Sawa and Ali Larter is a thriller. The whole movie was a jaw dropping, make you think, and makes you question so many things about your own mortality.
“Final Destination 2” is just as good as the first one.
“The Dark Crystal” a Jim Henson production, the creator of the Muppets brought back some memories for me tonight. It is simple, but it has a lot of heart and soul in it.

Desirada

I have always liked the Desirada, I first encountered it reading Simple Abundance that my big sister Joy gave to me.

April Is For Autism

This banner was created by Precious Jewel Graphics

This month is autism awareness month. The reason I am bringing this up, is because my dear, sweet friend Amber. Her little boy Cullen has autism, I am not positive what form. He isn’t as bad as some, but it still affects him and her family. There are many different names for autism, but they are all linked. There is Asperger Syndrome, PDD NOS, Autism, Rett Syndrome, and Childhood Disintrigrative Disorder, Cullen has one of them. He is getting the help he needs, and he is still a bright loving boy, despite his disability. Just because he has a disability, doesn't mean he doesn't deserve the same care and respect that so many other children need. There is a medical news site that provides some good information. There is also a myspace page called autimoms where you can also get a ton of information. We all need to be aware, compassionate, patient, and loving towards everyone with a disability, that they cannot help but to have. It doesn't mean they are dumb, incapable, or any of the phobias that people who have never dealt with people with disabilities or who don't suffer from one do not understand. Families who have children deserve our patient, love, understanding, and compassion, and not to be chastise, condemned, or ridicule because of it. If anything, I'd wish for more understanding and empathy for everyone involved. They are capable of many things and they also don't need to be put aside or pushed away either. Maybe, because I have seen many of my family members, though they do not suffer from autism, they do have blindness, and other disabilities that they were born and can't help to have. They are strong independent women and men. My mom has RP, and she has been in advocacy for many years. She didn't let it cripple her or stop her from living a life that she wanted and deserved to have. She still gardens, walks, cooks, cleans, and though her age is more of a problem, than her eyesight, she is still strong, independent and fighting for independence for others who are disabled. I greatly admire her for that. Maybe, that is why I feel strongly for others who are dealing with loss, but who have found the strength, wisdom, and courage to move on and do what they must to be who they truly are inside. Isn't that after all, what really matters?

Dying To Be Dark

I decided today to dye my hair, a mocha ash brown was my palette of choice. While shopping at the store with my sister in law and the family, while they were looking at automotive parts, I was in the hygiene area picking up some things. I passed the hair products, um, I need a change, so I went for color. Three years ago, an ex-friend of mine dyed my hair this funky red, that just looked absolutely horrible on me, so I went for the dark brown. That red still had not completely gone out of my hair, almost three years later. I love it, it put me back to where I was younger and carefree about life and I had many possibilties, not that I don't now. It was a challenge, since putting the hair color on is a chore in itself, and figuring out how long to leave it in and what is next, but I am enjoying my new look and the way I am feeling about me. Now I feel more confident in making the other necessary changes in my life now. I have not bitten my nails in a month, which was a hardship to beat, but hey, I did it. Now, I have nails. Things are a changing and I like it.

My Psyche

I was surprise how accurate this was.

Your Psyche is Blue

You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you. By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go. While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side.
