enneagrams
This trip has been so great for indulging the strange and fundamental role cafes seem to play in how to chill me out...
Don't know what it is, but suggest an afternoon of hanging out in a cafe chatting or playing games... true happiness. Since Sydney also happens to have fabulous weather and good coffee it's definitely safe to say that I'm making up for lost time!
Went to The Craven on Glebe Point Rd this afternoon (next to the Valhalla cinema. Ah, memories of $5 late-night Clockwork Orange showings on a Friday)... and spent a few hours there with Lorana, who was sans child for the afternoon. In conversation, she told me all about Enneagram tests and personality-type analysis. Being a bit of a couch-psychologist (much to the dismay of every boyfriend I've ever had. A trait I am hereby attempting to exorcise), this was totally fascinating to me, so thanks to power of Google, here is what I am according to the RHETI test or whatever it is.
Of course it's totally right too... but isn't that the point? And is this compartmentalising of personality types valid.. or are they like those generalised horoscopes: basically applicable to everyone, entirely depending on the power of their suggestion that it is specific to you, so inspire the "wow, I'm really special" response that all humans want to feel?
See... couch psychologist. Got to stop!

The actual graph of the enneagram is really cool, but I'm always into those visual Da Vinci-type graphs. Something very magical about them. Something like the marriage of science and art...
