Dreamy Idealist


Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which they are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of this personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. They can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, they can become tireless fighters.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that they often have a very successful academic career. They are less interested in details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.


As at work, Dreamy Idealists are helpful and loyal friends and partners, persons of integrity. Obligations are absolutely sacred to them. The feelings of others are important to them and they love making other people happy. They are satisfied with just a small circle of friends; their need for social contact is not very marked as they also need a lot of time to themselves. Superfluous small talk is not their thing. If one wishes to be friends with them or have a relationship with them, one would have to share their world of thought and be willing to participate in profound discussions. If you manage that you will be rewarded with an exceptionally intensive, rich partnership. Due to their high demands on themselves and others, this personality type tends however to sometimes overload the relationship with romantic and idealistic ideas to such an extent that the partner feels overtaxed or inferior. Dreamy Idealists do not fall in love head over heels but when they do fall in love they want this to be a great, eternal love.

I confess surprise. It is more accurate than I had expected.

A day in the life

What is it about anonymity that so inclines people to speak like complete morons? The perverted chatbox spammer is the pure, quintessential example of this particular brand of stupidity. But perhaps the question is flawed- working on the assumption that people are willing to act like idiots only on the condition of anonymity, whereas I venture to postulate that perhaps people are idiots by default; and anonymity is simply the vehicle by which this idiocy is expressed. Or to put it succintly, people are idiots writ passive; and anonymous spammers are idiots writ aggressive.

Pardon me. I do not mean to generalize. It would seem a gross a affront to justice indeed, to brand everyone 'idiots'. But the fact is, idiocy does seem to be the default state of being, as is evinced by the profligacy amongst the general populace.

Thunderbolts and lightning

It is an absurdity. Two hours spent trying to do one addmaths question.

Refrain

One does NOT play football on the 'hardwood', so to speak. Especially with a proper field 3 metres adjacent to the basketball court. With the futsal court under renovation, the goalposts were removed and set in front of both boards of the basketball court, despite the proximity of aforementioned field.

I have a low opinion of humanity in general, but I admit this rather sinks the residents in the vicinity of SS1 in my estimation yet further. That people can be so deficient in consideration, to say naught of common sense, almost beggars belief. Ordinarily I would be quite inclined to moralize of their lack thereof, but the nature of this particular object is such as makes me too depressed for its execution. Such commonplace idiocy does not merit the effort of so much labour as is needed to express the correct degree of disapprobation.

Right. Back to Biology.

She's a killer, Queeeen...

...gunpowder gelatine, dynamite with a laser beam

Ah yes. Back from self-imposed 'exile', during which I appear to have developed a taste for Best of Queen records and The Beatles.

Addmaths + Queen= win.
* I see a little silhouetto of a man scaramouche scaramouche will you do the fandango...
Bliss. You feel smart while head banging.

Don't stop me don't stop me ah,
Oh yeah Oh,
I'm burnin' through the sky yeah...

Fact(s) of the day:
Queen guitarist Brian May is an astrophysicist with a degree in physics and mathematics, studied for his Ph.D but abandoned it halfway when Queen became successful, co-authored two scientific research papers and completed his unfinished Ph.D 30 years later.

Oh and he has an asteroid named after him, due to it's coincidental
provisional designation of 1998 BM30. Wouldn't you like that?

Although, with the guitarist currently in consideration, a collision of said asteroid with
Earth could scarcely have much greater impact on it than that of the man himself.
