my personality, as assessed by matt
last night i had a long skype sesh (11 pm - …5am?) with matt varley, and this time he opened the conversation with a personality assessment based on descriptions of things that i gave him. there were a couple of components, starting with a cube. he told me there was a cube in the room, and asked how big it was. i started to say big, like a coffee table, but instead i changed my mind and said small. like it could fit in my hand. then he asked me if it were floating or on the ground, if i was looking at it straight or at it’s corner and what color the cube was. i said on the ground, at the corner, and that it was blue. then he told me there were flowers on the box, and asked me how many and what color i said white daisies, and between one and three. the next part had to do with a ladder. he asked me where it was and how tall was it. i said it was on the opposite side of the room, in the back, and that it was 8 feet tall. then i said the room was only about 10 feet tall. he said that was interesting. the third part was about a horse. he said there was a horse in the room. then he told me to describe it. i said the horse was in the middle of the room, diagonally between the cube and the ladder, in front of me. it was a medium sized horse, and it was brown. it was also rearing (epically, in my mind.) the final part of the question was about a storm. he gave me free reign on that one. i said the storm was outside, it was a thunderstorm, and i liked it. then he evaluated everything i said. the cube represented me, and he said he thought it was funny i started off saying the cube was big and then backed out and said it was small instead. apparently my small cube means i have low self-esteem. the fact that it was on the floor meant that i was grounded and non-judgemental. the fact that i was looking at it’s corner meant i was creative. something else about those details meant i was objective and innocent. the flowers meant i only wanted one or two friends, who represented knowledge, loyalty and calmness. the ladder represented my dreams. he said i have big dreams but i prefer to keep them separate from myself. the horse represented my I.D.E.A.L L.U.V.R. … or the “man” in my life. apparently my rearing horse meant i wanted someone who was adventurous, the mediumness of my pony meant that i wasn’t them to be medium in confidence, and the fact that the horse was in front of me in the middle of the room meant that finding true love is my main priority in life. the storm meant my life is filled with drama, but i’m able to take myself away from the situation and evaluate it. and the fact that i liked the storm meant i liked drama. last night i also drank a margarita, two beers, a bare-foot mini-bottle of cabernet, and then an entire bottle of reisling. danny joined us at some point in oovoo-land, where we talked about more intellectual things, such as having sex on your period.
