Two Words: L5R LARP

 

 Results for Tancred, Akako & Akanke:

Soshi Akako: ENFP
Akanke: ISTP (Polar opposite of Tâm)

Tancred: IstJ (very minor s and t tendencies).


funny how accurate the strengths & weakness were, truly matching the characters. Some excerpts:

ISTJ: The Duty fulfiller (what a good start already ;) )

 ISTJ Strengths

---

 

• Honor their commitments
• Take their relationship roles very seriously
• Usually able to communicate what's on their minds with precision
• Good listeners
• Able to dole out punishment or criticism when called for

 

---

ISTJ Weaknesses

---

 

• Tendency to believe that they're always right
• Tendency to get involved in "win-lose" conversations
• Not naturally in-tune with what others are feeling
• Their value for structure may seem rigid to others
• Not likely to give enough praise or affirmation to their loved ones 

Uncanny, that ...

The ISTJ is likely to choose to be around people who have similar interests and perspectives to their own, and are likely to not have much patience with people who are very different from themselves.

  ISTJs are driven to fulfill their responsibilities and duties, and will do so with tireless effort.  

:P

I don't get how they can look down on LARPing. At least in LARPING, when we pretend-fight, we die (or get hurt). And when we get together, we have food and stuff. 

Waterloo: the costumes were beautiful, the action was acceptable (but why did nobody die?), the organisation was horrible.

 I find friday the most interesting day (Workshop in Leading the Dance sounds useful) but saturday is also looking good ;). (Sakura, the final band on friday, is the band we had in the University Halls).


See all the dancing enthusiasts there?

Coming home today (10 minutes ago I guess) we were discussing the rats again, and how Dulli tends to escape because she loves us and wants to see us (she only escapes when we are home). As I uttered these words, I saw something black move next to my shoe.

A second later, the rest of Dulli appeared. Sisters in crime Mama and Duts were also found after some searching (one in the bed, one under the bed). Lanni, as usual, was too fat to escape through the small opening they (Dulli?) had created by pushing against the cage door and unclasping one of the clasps. 

Bathroom door had been pushed open: soap (nibbled on) and other utensils were scattered around the floor and the washing basin. Some figurines in the living room were also pushed around the room. It's been only 15 minutes now, so I have no clue what other damage has been created by this band of marauding ravagers. 

Score (for those keeping track at home):
Dulli: 3
Humans: 0


PS: We have five rats. First three people to respond to this post can get a place at our "Rat in Red Wine Sauce" dinner.

I am a godfather! Of my brother's third child, a little girl called Hanne!

:)

... en we zijn gaan folkdansen gisteren!

Het was best plezant, vooral omdat mijn 3 metgezellen absoluut geen gedacht hadden wat ze konden verwachten. Ze leken allemaal de initiatie wel overleefd te hebben (en zich geamuseerd te hebben :) ), dus dat zat wel snor.

Volgende afspraak: Ladeuzeplein, donderdag 7 mei, 19u

(Working for the power trading branch of Electrabel means I've got to understand the basics of economics. Hence, economics for dummies :P)

Economics - It's all about investments; how much you are willing to invest.
You can just have an initial amount and just add some patience, and we call that a savings account. That's not bad, and with a good interest rate, you will even "break even" (keeping inflation rate in mind).
Or you can invest (take care you do not invest in yet another "bubble") - cut some luxury from your life, live a bit more frugally than before, and invest that!
Or, of course, once you decide the interest rate is no longer worth it, you can change banks, but that's another discussion altogether.

You can also decide not to invest at all and spend all your money on other things (and that's not necessarily a worse decision than any other), but then why have a savings account at all :P ?
