I bet you can't guess which ones a lieeee!

  *As a tike, I was involved in many sports. My favorite was the St. Paul T-ball league. I played for the Minni Twins T-ball team.

*Two years during my high school career I won Best In Site for the solo ensemble competitions in MN. I sang two german pieces from the opera The Magical Flute.

*When I was 4 years old I went to the Radison hotel in Duluth. This hotel had circle hallways because the top was a rotating restaurant. While my parents were checking us in my sister and I ran through the hallways. I happened to hit the ONLY corner in this circle hallway. I was gushing blood and had to be rushed to the hospital. I recieved three stitches and now have a perminant scar on my forhead.

Illnesses, Anxiety, and Witt.

House is one of Fox's weekly premieres. This is a very entertaining show. It is about a group of doctors who take the "untreatable" cases at the hospital. At every commercial break the suspense thickens! The normal routine for each patient is to go through a traumatic event, start getting better after some mild treatments, and then fall dramatically into a life threatening situation. Eventually House figures it out and quickly treats them on their last breath!  Even with a new patient every time, you get to watch the main characters progress. There are romances, deaths, and personal dilemmas. Each character is completely different from one another. House for example, wallows in self pity and tears everyone else apart, yet you still love him and can't get enough of him. Another character is Wilson. He is another MD who happens to be House's best friend. Normally they can't stand each other, but they have a great bond and commitment to one another. The great thing about having a wide variety of characters is that they play really well off of each other. They all have a different wittiness about them. Their humor makes the intensity of the hospital seem obsolete. This is a fantastic show that I think everyone would enjoy watching!

Type 2-The Helper Type


According to the enneagram test, I am a type 2. A type 2 is the "Helper" type. My basic desire is to be loved and my basic fear is being unloved or unwanted. Type two's want to help everyone around them. They are very compassionate, sincere, and warm-hearted. When they help people they feel needed, by feeling needed they feel loved. Once gaining the feeling of love they regenerate and are able to give to more people. The unhealthy side of helpers are aggressive and dominating. If they don't feel loved they will try to find that love and usually force it, which makes other people want them less.

I was shocked by this result. I have never taken a personality test before and this was surprisingly dead on. I love people and I love when people need me, it gives me tons of energy. I don't want to say that I am aggressive and force peoples love, but I guarantee that I have done that in the past.
