GRADUATION

Pre-Graduation

Glaring at my father.

Graduation

Grad party

Myself showing off my art work. And being quizzed on my knowledge of the X-Men.

For our senior class trip:

Couple of us, all girls here and one crazy boy...

And there's me sporting my new haircut. I wasn't having all that "peace" sign-throwing stuff. So I just struck a pose on the stairs...

A very oversized chess board and me still in my pajamas...spidey of course!

At my house. Yes, that is a garage door. What can I say? I got class. So much so that the kid I was going to go with decided he was broke and couldn't buy a plane ticket to fly to Florida. Single for prom AGAIN.

On the boat to the place we were obviously going to arrive at. Yup.

I love that dress. Kinda pathetic I'm so small and still one of the oldest in my class. Girl in the turquoise dress I constantly harass for being a dumb blonde. The kid in the white tux has Fanconi anemia and still has a few more rounds of chemo, so it was amazing he could go to prom.

A sad excuse for a musical. Seriously I could have written a better one. But anyway, it was called Charleston! and I was Trixe an entertainer at a 1920's speak-easy.

The mobsters and I disguised as waiters.

Love that face...

After the play. And exhausted.

Love Life 9 by ~AugustPsylence on deviantART

[Note: The following cannot be attributed to every female and observations do not include people with interest in the same sex.]

Females. The most overtly emotional of the two genders. Where women are joked about as having little control over their own emotions, there are some who have the ability to control others'. Especially the emotionally less complicated man.

These individuals shall be termed the "Femme Fatales" (French: ‘disastrous woman’). She is portrayed in literature as an attractive or seductive woman, who brings disaster to a man with whom she becomes involved.

Many women may struggle with this at some point in their life. The phenomenon I call the "Femme Fatale Syndrome". The root of this conflict is vanity, selfishness, and/or insecurity.

There are at least two different type of Femme Fatale to be found in the female sex, the Red Femme Fatale and the Yellow Femme Fatale.

The Red Femme Fatale is a person who takes great pride in some aspect of herself, usually her appearance. She acts superior and possesses an air of intense vanity.

She is conscious that she could be distancing herself from or even hurting other people. Though she has many admirers of the opposite gender they usually are intimidated by her and her unattainability and so stay far away.

Other girls may either see her as confident and independent or as an arrogant snob. The good aspect of her is she is more forward about her actions and pushes people away so they can avoid getting to caught up with her.

The reason for her behaviour can vary. Many people would take the "bully stance" and say she is merely insecure or that she suffers an inferiority complex.

This idea would be reinforced by her feeling of power she reaps from others' infatuation with her. It could also be as simple as vanity and apathy towards the feelings of others.

Of course, this outward display of pride may be a mask for her deeper insecurity.

The Yellow Femme Fatale is a female who can be seen by others as being sweet and/or fun. People seem to be unable not to like her. Unlike the Red, the Yellow Femme Fatale may honestly have no clue that she is abusing others' emotions.

Or she could know quite well. It is she that is possibly worse than the Red because she becomes very involved in her cons. She gives enough to keep an admirer interested, leading them to believe a lie.

She does not have to be incredibly popular, she will always have a devoted following, even if it's under false pretenses. She masks her intentions by maintaining her persona of a sincerely nice person or even an airhead who is oblivious to any possibility of emotional domination.

This is where the line between innocence and cruel becomes blurry. There are girls who are exactly like the person that the first Yellow portrays. They have no idea they could be hurting someone by their actions.

If she flirts it is because that is just what happens around members of the opposite sex. (I have found that flirting is almost a social tradition rather than a way to actually seek out a date.)

But no one can truly distinguish the difference between the two (the one who knows what she is doing and the one who does not) unless they can read thoughts and motives.

A good portion of what motivates the Yellow Femme Fatale is vanity or self-esteem issues. She wants someone to be attracted to her whether she finds him appealing or not. Each one who falls for her makes her feel worthwhile. Unfortunately it degrades others in the process.

INTJ Mastermind (Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging)

HOW TO DEAL WITH INTJs:

Be willing to back up your statements with facts - or at least some pretty sound reasoning.

Don't expect them to respect you or your viewpoints just because you say so. INTJ respect must be earned.

Be willing to concede when you are wrong. The average INTJ respects the truth over being "right". Withdraw your erroneous comment and admit your mistake and they will see you as a very reasonable person. Stick to erroneous comments and they will think you are an irrational idiot and treat everything you say as being questionable.

Try not to be repetitive. It annoys them.

Do not feed them a line of bull.

Expect debate. INTJs like to tear ideas apart and prove their worthiness. They will even argue a point they don't actually support for the sake of argument.

Do not mistake the strength of your conviction with the strength of your argument. INTJs do not need to believe in a position to argue it or argue it well. Therefore, it will take more than fervor to sway them.

Do not be surprised at sarcasm.

Remember that INTJs believe in workable solutions. They are extremely open-minded to possibilities, but they will quickly discard any idea that is unfeasible. INTJ open-mindedness means that they are willing to have a go at an idea by trying to pull it apart. This horrifies people who expect oohs and ahhs and reverence. The ultimate INTJ insult to an idea is to ignore it, because that means it's not even interesting enough to deconstruct.

This also means that they will not just accept any viewpoint that is presented to them. The bottom line is "Does it work?" - end discussion.

Do not expect INTJs to actually care about how you view them. They already know that they are arrogant bastards with a morbid sense of humor. Telling them the obvious accomplishes nothing.

Q and A:

Q: Is there any difference between male and female INTJs?

A: The only difference between male and female INTJs is that the females get more flack for their INTJ tendencies (and the plumbing, of course).

Q: Are female INTJs less feminine than women of other temperaments?

A: Female INTJs are just as feminine as they want to be. They can be just as sweet and sexy as the next woman if they feel like. They are just opinionated and don't put up with stupidity for long.

Q: Is God really an INTJ as you have been hearing?

A: Yes. God is the Ultimate INTJ. If you have any doubts, ask an INTJ.
