Visual DNA

personality.visualdna.com/1/index.php/

I took this very interesting personality "test" over at the site above. Saved here simply for reference's sake...I think it eerily captures some of who I am.

Spirit
You're a Seeker. You're kind and courteous and a great support to your friends. You have a wonderfully warm energy that is an inspiration to others. A sensitive soul with an expressive nature, you tend to be quite a romantic at heart. Sometimes you love nothing more than escaping into your very own dreamworld. Spontaneous new experiences can be really inspiring to you and you like exploring your creative side from time to time. Right now, life probably feels pretty good. You have a healthy balanced attitude and know how to take the good with the bad. You're feeling comfortable in your own skin. A healthy relationship really is the bedrock of a happy home, but it also takes a lot of energy and commitment to maintain. Make sure that with all the other distractions, your love life doesn't end up at the bottom of the list. It's important to remember to tap into your inner strength and to believe in yourself. Take on new challenges and stay stimulated so you remain enthusiastic and inspired by life. As a Seeker, you get excited by new ideas. You like adventure and original experiences that stimulate and challenge your status quo. Stay inspired with a rich mix of activities, and find time for hobbies that allow you to explore your creative side. Learn to recognize when you need variety in your life, and then incorporate it into your daily plans. There's no better way to feel centered and balanced than to spend some time out in the fresh air. You understand that a change of scenery can reinvigorate you and remind you of what matters most in the world. Remember, it's not a luxury but a necessity, so allow yourself that quiet time as often as you can.


Relationship
You would like to be able to share your spiritual side with your new partner. Feeling at peace with the world comes naturally when you're travelling life's path with your soulmate. You're a deeply passionate person and will go to extreme lengths for love. You're naturally open and find it easy to make connections. It's all about intuition and chemistry and being swept off your feet. Love means opening yourself up to intense experiences that you'll remember for the rest of your life. You are expressive and sensual and, so making a strong physical connection is important to you. It feels really good to lose yourself in the moment. There's nothing like being in love to put a smile on your face, butterflies in your stomach and a spring in your step.
Relationship tips:

So you're Passionate but what tips can we give for when you're looking for love?

Take it easy. Allowing your new relationship to develop gradually would be a really healthy approach for you. Slow and steady wins the race in this case.
Make friends. Connecting on a physical level is really important to you. But set strong foundations by getting to know each other first.
Slow and steady wins the race. Take things at a sensible pace so you'll keep your feet on the ground and stay realistic about what will work in your everyday life.
You are naturally warm and trusting. Just make sure to follow your instincts and listen to your head as well as your heart before diving in too deep.


Money
You're a techie, and you love to have the best new gadgets. You like your technology sleek and fast, so would love to be able to upgrade to the newest models whenever possible. The true mark of success for you is a happy home. It is the main focus of your life and the center of all your aspirations. You're happiest when you feel settled and comfortable. True fulfillment for you is in having strong, loving relationships with family and friends. If they're healthy and happy, that's all that matters to you.

Health
Your mornings are about taking quiet time to focus on the day ahead, gathering your thoughts and making sure you feel centered and balanced before you head into the world. Woulda-coulda-shoulda just isn't in your vocabulary. You've learned that if you want to feel great, you need to take the positive steps yourself. It's all about valuing yourself enough to take the time to what's best for you and your body. You like exploring alternative therapies and the holistic side of things. The key is to keep your energy balanced - no sugar highs or caffeine crashes. It's all about having a twinkle in your eye and embracing every minute of the day.


Home
If you took some time out to visualize your dream life, you could probably see yourself away from the rat race, chilling out on a beach. Nothing puts a smile on your face like waking up to sun, sea and sand without a care in the world. Fresh fruit, seafood and not a cloud in the sky...sounds like paradise!

It's about maximum comfort with a splash of style, so it's hard to beat your favorite pair of jeans. But don't forget how good it can feel to give yourself a makeover every now and then. It can work wonders for your self-esteem to refresh your wardrobe, spruce up your hair and put on a great. So make sure you schedule a shopping trip every few months. You deserve it!


Travel

For you, a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet. When it comes to time off, you know it's precious, so chances are you'll be trying to do as much as you can. Creature comforts are still important to you, so if you can see the world in a bit of luxury, why not?

Understanding Sound



Music has a way of capturing
Who I am
Who we are
Humans floating on
Through the universe
Up through the stars
Sailing through the ether
Feeling the atmosphere
Experiencing
What a feeling
To experience
To feel
To laugh
To love
To cry
To rejoice
To understand
To jump
To decide
To dance
To be reborn
A new child
Coming into being
A beautiful you
A beautiful world
The world and your body
Becoming one
The vibrations
Sealing you together
An entire universe
At one with you
An entire you
At one with the universe
Your body spread
Infinitely
Embrace the feelings
Feel the sound
Leave your cave
Transcend your reality
The sounds a comforting blanket of warmth
That help you understand
Truth.
Optimism.
Love everyone
Love everything
I'm in love with everything that lives.

Lessons

Today I learned something that I think I've waited my entire life to learn. When someone or something comes along that makes you unhappy or depressed, you have two options. Two.

You can either:
1) Go on being depressed, get fat and stupid and old faster than you normally would.
2) Kick life in the nuts and work your ass off to better yourself, better others, and just smile.

I think that's a pretty valuable lesson to learn.

Smile :)
