soooo... I guess it's bedtime for Lyla. And btw, I did name myself after the song. My brother's seeing Oasis this summer... I'm so jealous. He got to see Tragically Hip a while back as well... woulda loved to see 'em, wasn't in town. and my cousin scored crazy amazing tickets to a U2 Concert... seriously impossible tickets... anywho, nuff said.

My name isn't really Lyla... and it doesn't even fit me very well...

I'm an ENFP versus an ISTJ (my best friend and my mom are ISTJs)

I'm extroverted (but shy, it's possible) --> basically, i get my energy from people, i prefer to be around people most of the time and I generally don't "need" alone-time, in fact, if i like you, you're stuck with me

i'm intuitive ("N" because "I" was taken for introverted) --> basically, i understand my world in big pictures, in flow, in dynamics, not via my five senses in a logical, scientific way

i'm a feeler (wow, that's messed lingo right there) --> basically, i feel instead of thinking... i remember emotions, i respond to emotions, i empathize in a very personal, deep inside my gut "i feel your pain" kind of way

i'm a perceiver (i perceive great things from afar... not!) --> basically, i haven't got a clue what i'm talking about.

if you care, i=introverted, s=sensing, t=thinking & j=judging (which doesn't =judgmental)

I discovered this about myself via a personality test online. haha. but the profile i looked up was fairly accurate of me. i'm a psych student, so i've read research papers and peer-reviewed scientifically and statistically sound studies that give evidence for breaking down our multifaceted personality traits into these particular categories. the man responsible for this system was Jung. I don't consider myself a Jungian, but Froid was out to lunch, so hey, s'all good.

so anyways... i see lyla as... well, maybe i could be a lyla. i'm the girl who confuses the crap out of you and herself but will love you and protect you and challenge you intensely, make you think and laugh and breathe and dance and go on wild adventures that keep you up until the crack of dawn and you would never take those hours back...

i love touch. i love to feel something solid in my hands, on my fingertips... i am a connoisseur of every food you can imagine... and i have a favourite everything. any category you can think of, i'll have a favourite "that thing you thought of"...

sending my love into cyberspace with mildly appealing sincerity... i hope
