Ah...interesting

I wonder what it actually says about us......as individuals and as a couple!

    It says you met because you shared the same hair stylist.

    It's simple. Two people frightened by the same Rohrshack test. :-)

    I was going to put something witty but I can't compete :)

    Seems like Mr. Potter is more meticulous and/or pragmatic than you because of the tendency to fill in all the spaces? (I correctly guessed left in the previous post, haha).

    Let me get this right - you did the first one and Andy did the second? How come you have an equally artistic husband? I'm useless at drawing and painting but Mr FF is pretty good - you're an even match.

    don't we all have a masculine and feminine side to our faces in real life, I'm not remotely symmetrical. certainly a bit of jiggery pokery in photoshop copying and flipping face sides, gives you two very different people.

    Jonathan – yes – that’s me – I style both of us. Obviously in art – we create our aspirations.

    Berowne – yes ink blob is not our medium – clearly

    Codgi – just nice that you turned up!

    Eric - Mr Potter/Kirkham is undoubtedly more meticulous than me. I paint a room in an hour, he takes two days. Because I really never notice, quality is not my thing! Probably more pragmatic too...are you an art psychotherapist?

    FF – He’s probably a better draftsman, I’m probably a better designer. Neither of us are great! We just like to play!

    Mr T – I also heard speculation that we have a public and private side to our face (our left is what we want to hide from the world) and our right is our public persona. There was that woman who they used for criminal profiling that spotted Ian Huntley....I think I look better with my right duplicated symmetrically. All that darkness inside me.......

    I agree with Mr T...we are all two-faced. Oops, was that a slip?
    I did notice a lifetime ago that I have a harsh demanding left eye and a soft sympathetic right eye and that I paint primarily with my left.

    Incidentally, I thought you were having a break Molly P. My blog isn't letting me know of updates and I missed the last few.

    I was TRYING to have a break and then something else pops into my brain and I write about it.

    I will try really hard to have a few days off now.

Anal Retention Test

Image
I was clearing out some old files on my computer and came across this. I wrote it in about 1999 (back when people still wrote cheques) predominantly to take the p*** out of a teaching colleague that was the opposite end of this particular spectrum to me! He took it as the silly, light-hearted bit of fun it was meant to be, but he did actually score nearly full marks. We are still friends and he's a headteacher now. Just shows you how far a bit of anal retention can take one. *************************************************** DEFINITION A popular term for “anal retentive personality,” a personality marked by excessive orderliness, extreme meticulousness, and often suspicion and reserve. According to psychoanalysis, an anal personality is formed in early childhood as a result of efforts to control bowel movements. *************************************************** Now tell me, does anal retention *increase with age? *really make life easier? *have very strong links to the need to b...

What do YOU do with anger?

Image
My father was prone to angry outbursts! By that I mean that whether he was feeling humiliated, vulnerable, fearful, powerless, disappointed, anxious, hurt, misunderstood or many other emotions, he was quick to express only anger – loudly, suddenly and aggressively, and always towards others.  On first consideration I might conclude this was because my father received standard conditioning that gave the message that anger was one of the few emotions acceptable for males to express. After all, it feels powerful, in control, shouts, ‘pay attention to my issues now!’ and it can railroad situations that might more appropriately require time-consuming, empathetic and delicate attention – possibly attributes more commonly expected of the female arena! (Sorry about the generalisations! Of course I know there are always exceptions!)  But it’s also worth considering: it probably does feel easier to experience and express anger outwardly than many other emotions. For example, many years...

Get a badge!

Image
I didn't mean this to be a long post. I got carried away (see enthusiasm badge). This is me messing around (forte) with one of the more silly creative thinking ideas from my book Outside the Box (9-11). In the book, I ask kids to make up what a person would have to do to achieve a set of silly badges (much like buy scout/girl guide badges). Here are a couple of examples that I give.... ******************************* Great irritator’s badge 1) Irritate three different people in the same day and ask them to sign a piece of paper that will prove you irritated them. 2) Make up an irritation questionnaire that explores what irritates people. 3) Make up three really irritating sounds and irritate at least three different people with them. 4) Keep an irritation diary for one week and list all the things you have seen that have irritated people. You must list at least eight things. 5) Tell the badge collector what you think is the most irritating thing in the world and why you think it is...
