The Last Unicorn Graphic Novel Arrived...
May. 31st, 2011 02:08 pmI'm upset and I may be being unreasonable. I pre-ordered The Last Unicorn comics from conlan press (associated with the author). I could have bought the issues cheaper and without paying shipping through a comic book store, but that didn't occur it. The first two issues were late coming out and the third never came out at all. There was some publishing mix up and Conlan Press didn't get the newer comics and wouldn't be for months, so they offered people like me, who pre-ordered all the comics, the choice of getting the full, hard-cover graphic novel without charge and without receiving the rest of the individual comics. I chose this -- also the book would be personally signed. This book, again, has been delayed many months. I got it today -- and my name is misspelled in it! They spelled it Bridgette instead of Bridgett. This really upsets me. I spent like $45 on the comics, didn't get them all, and now have a long-awaited book with my name wrong. I contacted the publisher about this, but I doubt they will do anything.
Enneagram Tritype Descriptions
May. 31st, 2011 03:00 pmI keep reading more and more enneagram posts on how everyone is a 6. Maybe it is the most common type, but some people are being really harsh in their dismissal of people suspecting they are of other types. They are just being mean instead of stating their opinion in a more kind and respectful manner. I'm also very hesitant about personality typing people online -- even if you are good at typing. Also there's always a big thing about how people think they are 4's and (supposedly) 4's are the rarest type. I've always thought I was a 4, though learning about tritypes makes sense of it all for me because I also have a lot of 1 traits (though healthy 4's gravitate toward 1, as well) and some 6 traits. Mostly phobic 6, but occasionally counterphobic (I can lash out). My 2 traits are usually unhealthy coping mechanisms when I feel I am losing someone I'm really obsessed with and love very strongly. I am more cheerful than 4w5 and as a child used to be more flamboyant like a 4w3. I am very emotionally expressive, including sorrow and melancholy. I try to act cheerful with people, but I open up more now about my negative emotional states.
Here are descriptions of each type in my tritype (in order of strength) with each wing. This might not be interesting enough to anyone reading this so I'm putting it behind a cut.
( Enneagram Tritype )
If anyone has any comments or suggestions of other types to look into (especially for the other two in my tritype -- I'm pretty sure I'm a 4w3 -- I'd like to hear it:-) Or if you think I have the wing wrong for one. Any explanation or link you could find to describe what you mean would also be appreciated.
And my variant typing is self-preservation/sexual/social (the order of how strong each is for me). This is a description of that stacking for 4's and I relate to all of it:
This subtype also cares very much about their surroundings and their possessions. They feel as if these things help to express who they are. There is more of a passionate sense about them as compared to the self/soc. They have more of a sensual relationship with their environment. These Fours are much more tortured by their difficulty with respect to maintaining close relationships. The self-preservationist instinct tends to be in conflict with the sexual instinct, causing this subtype to habitually analyze their relationships to the point where they find it difficult to be present to them. When unhealthy, these Fours can become very disdainful of the social environment. They also start to envy the ease with which others seem to form relationships and maintain friendships. When Fours of this subtype are healthy, they find that they can form relationships without feeling as though they are sacrificing authenticity. They no longer feel that they have to automatically define themselves as "different from others," as outside the group. They are able to see the ways in which their emotionality might cloud their better judgment and to use that insight to establish equilibrium.
