a wedding

When you are going to a wedding there's a lot of etiquette rules and common sense to remember. Since the hapyp couple didn't announce any dress code in their invitations (and I personally think all of these "wedding rules" are a bit ridiculous) you don't really know what to wear. But you want to look nice. I prefer not knowing though, to the black tie or evening dress style parties where you end up bying a dress you'll probably neverwear again.
But as I said there are certain wedding faux pas'es:
You are not supposed to wear all white (only the bride) you are not supposed to wear all black (only for funerals) and you are not supposed to wear all red. You probably didn't know about this last one, or at least I didn't, but apparently if you're wearing red it means you're the grooms mistress/lover. Haha I didn't know about that, but maybe that's just in Sweden. (Found this info on a Swedish website)

Here's what I wore for their wonderful day. Dress from Warehouse
...argh I should have worn red.

The wedding and the reception was just amazing. Taylor was so genuinely beautiful and Filip was handsome in his suit with all his merry men.
I had a great evening with good food, great people (feel I have to mention Taylor's parents, wow, nicer people will be hard to find), dancing, and reunion of some old Newbold folks.

Taylor was my roommate this last year. We lived in room 23 in Schuil house and had a great time, or at least that is my personal opinion. ;) She is such an easygoing person with so much care and compassion for other people, a trait I find desirable and admirable. I am so happy for her now, but a the same time, the selfish part of me is a bit jealous on Filip, for a better roommate or not to mention lifepartner, is hard to find. I'll miss you, you little goof :)


Thank you soo much to the hosts and to the couple for everything.
A few pictures...

the consistency

I guess the reason I haven't been writing anything here for a very long time (except for this one about personality test) is that I've just gotten anoyed with the whole hype of blogging. This idea that someone else probably will be very intersted in my personal thoughts and ideas is just absurd to me. Still it seems like it leads to succes after succes. Fashion politics music.. everyone who is anyone has to have a blog... apparently. Unfortunately there are alot of blogs out there which are just a waste of people's times, but then again, for some weird reason I often find myself reading other people's blogs. (Such as Alex and Katrin Sculman, hotspot, Sigrid, Elin Kling, Sofi Fahrman, Ebba von Sydow) Is it a new form of BigBrother? Or is it an easier way of "keeping in touch"?
Anyway blog or no blog..

I WILL continue with this in a sporadical manner. I can't promise anything about the frequency of updating, but it will be a mix of thouhts and ideas, pictures, diary, and sharing some of the latest amusements I've found such as videos and books.

So, now you know and you can't complain.

Personality Test

So the much-talked about Myers-Briggs test came by me on facebook of all places. (Since I am hardly ever online...) Of course I've read/heard about it before, but tonight i decided that I would take the free unofficial test. Because it's the "unofficial" I'm sure the accuracy is totally off...
Honestly after taking the test I was very keen to see the results, because as I answered them I found that I wasn't really sure what my personality really was. Now I am not a big fan of "personality" types. I feel people often use their "personality" or the phrase "who I am" as an excuse for unacceptable behaviour. So someone would say; I know that might not have been the best thing to do but that's just who I am. I just couldn't help but laugh a little at a comment like that. But then maybe that tells me more about myself than about the other person.

Now I've had more experience in the old personality types (phlegmatic, choleric, melancholic, sanguine). I've stayed melanchlic my whole life but switched forth and back between being choleric and phlegmatic throughout the years.

Anyway... I thought I would share my unofficial results:

You are:
ENTJ
slightly expressed extravert (1%)
slightly expressed intuitive personality (12%)
moderately expressed thinking personality (25%)
distinctively expressed judging personality (67%)

(Interesting that I got such low percentages on everything except the judging part)

According to facebook this means that I have a need to:
achieve, accomplish and understand
and that my self image is affected by:
Being clever, original, inventive, autonomic and showing willpower

Apparently my personality type is called a Fieldmaster:
"Of all the Rationals, the most driven toward a leadership position is the Fieldmarshal (ENTJ). David Keirsey said they cannot NOT lead."

So... those of you who know me or think you know me, do you agree?
