I'd like to meet:

Streetwise angels and booksmart devils.

I am truly thankful for everything in my life and the combination of people, circumstance, effort, yoga, nutrition, and pharmaceuticals that helped me appreciate it. I wear vegan, US-made crosstrainers whilst I work off my frustrations regarding the current state of global affairs at the gym. I use perfume and I smell damn good. I don't use microwaves. If you don't like any part of those sentences, then I probably wouldn't be someone you'd like to meet. But I would be a great influence on you, I bet.

So meet me anyway...

Blessed be, Ms. Natalie.

For years, I was an illustrious ENFP.  Gregarious, even.  I've changed (dare I say, grown?) since I last took the assessment (way back in the '90s -- remember those?!) and the new results pr...
