Update on my favorite topic- me

I got a personality test back yesterday. Don't ask why I has a personalility test done in the first place; maybe I wanted to make sure I had one, but mostly it had to do with it being free. Apparently, my personality passed, because they didn't arrest, institutionalize, or eject me when they gave it back. In fact, it was very disappointing in that it was boring. I sounded so normal and well-adjusted. As a psychological therapy consumer, this is crushing.

Last time I had one of these things done there was much more drama in the analysis. I was someone who was completely out of balance because I would generally withdraw from situations, but would kind of pop in from the periphery to disrupt things from time to time. The phrase they used was "bomb thrower." I took great pride in that. Now I get "...prefers to attain a balance between emotion and intellect, using rational decision-making and pragmatism." How dull does that guy sound? I really should have had my daughter fill it out for me like I was originally going to do. That's what I get for being respectful of the psychological process, so here's something less respectful.

So I'm sitting in the room with this group, and the psychologist, as an example of a particular sort of behavior, is describing someone who had been a client at some time in the past. The description is a well-constructed blend of vagueness and specificity to allow us to understand the point without violating anyone's privacy. Anyway, as the description builds it begins to remind me of something, and suddenly it hits me, I know this person. Someone once said similar things to me and matches this description. Now this was a very long time ago, like over 200 in dog years, but we're talking about a pretty unforgettable character, brilliant and attractive and funny and sociopathic. Sounds like a perfect date, yes?

And I'm dying to call out, I know them! That was the person who recommended you to me in the first place! And I went along with it because if you could handle someone that insane, you could certainly help me with my first world problems. But I couldn't because that would violates all the rules and would blow up the entire point we were trying to make, so maybe I was being respectful of the process at that moment, but I'm biding my time.
