My Personality

Neuroticism 15
Extraversion 90
Openness To Experience 58
Agreeableness 34
Conscientiousness 53

You do not feel nervous in social situations, and have a good impression of what others think of you, however you often resist any cravings or urges that you have, but sometimes you give in. You are an active group participant but usually prefer to let someone else be the group leader. You tend not to express your emotions openly and are sometimes not even aware of your own feelings. You mostly assume that people are honest and fair, however you are wary and hold back from trusting people completely, however you feel superior to those around you and sometimes tend to be seen as arrogant by other people. You have a strong sense of duty and obligation, and feel a moral obligation to do the right thing.The slideshow above is a selection of photos from "The good 'ole clubbing days" These ones are from 1993 - 2003.....er....I think!! lol. I found them while doing the New Year clearout, these ones are definately worth saving! I've started adding to it now too, seeing as i still love a good party! lol.The slideshow below is my most recent one, what I love doing in my spare time; camping with Marcus, hiking, road-trips, being in nature, being with my Tribe at Sentry Circle and Lime Tree Farm, loving festie life and having fun!!!
