English is the bane of my creativity, and America is the cancer of the imagination and free will.

About Me

A lifer in the punkrock prison, a tattoo fiend, bookwhore, self-educated mess, ex San Francisco gutter punk (Larkin Street lackey!), lonely, bored and eager to learn about everything. ..

You Are an Ingrid!

You are an Ingrid -- "I am unique"

Ingrids have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.

How to Get Along with Me
    * Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me. * Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself. * Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision. * Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little. * Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!

What I Like About Being an Ingrid
    * my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level * my ability to establish warm connections with people * admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life * my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor * being unique and being seen as unique by others * having aesthetic sensibilities * being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me

What's Hard About Being an Ingrid
    * experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair * feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved * feeling guilty when I disappoint people * feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me * expecting too much from myself and life * fearing being abandoned * obsessing over resentments * longing for what I don't have

Ingrids as Children Often
    * have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original games * are very sensitive * feel that they don't fit in * believe they are missing something that other people have * attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc. * become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood * feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce)

Ingrids as Parents
    * help their children become who they really are * support their children's creativity and originality * are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings * are sometimes overly critical or overly protective * are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed
