I never had a dream come true.

Cough. I just came back from Panda Express, where Seeto, Yena, Adam, and I were working on the Lit All My Sons project. [without the help of Serena!] So we're sitting kind of close to the flappy trash things [ya know, where you put the trash] and this employee does something that creates thousands of airborne trash particles, all of which make their way towards Yena and me. I think I inhaled a whole handful of half-eaten Chinese food. It was really nice. To make matters worse, the place smelled like trash forevermore. I believe the quote was, "I miss the smell of Chinese food ... and we're in Panda Express. That's how bad it is." The trash smell directly cancelled out the Chinese food smell, leaving us with mediocre normal air. So disgusting.

So it turns out I’m a Sanguine. Surprise, surprise. I say surprise twice for the sarcastic effect, because pretty much everything on this list describes me. The breakdown is 18 Sanguine, 11 Choleric, 5 Melancholic, 6 Phlegmatic. As you can see, I’m predominantly Sanguine. Happy! Joy! Humor! Laugh! Below, I list all the quirks of the Sanguine temperament that apply to me. Don’t take this as arrogant or conceited, I’m just going off of what I think I am and what I think people think I am.

STRENGTHS

The Sanguine’s emotions:
Appealing personality
Talkative, storyteller
Good sense of humor
Enthusiastic and expressive
Cheerful, happy, curious
Adventurous, daring

Omitted: Makes routine home life fun, turns disaster into humor

The Sanguine at Work or School:

Energetic, hard-working [sometimes]
Inspires and charms others at work [mainly Aaron]

These are just the Sanguine’s strengths. Believe me, all the weaknesses apply to me, and I don’t need you guys to confirm it. =P But my goodness, am I not a lot of these things? I think I am. Mr. Williams also said that the Sanguine is in several groups of friends, which I am! I think I’m going to have a heart attack. *beeeeeeep* ... *flaaat-liiner* Most of my friends were Phlegmatic [Soutchay, Albert] or Choleric [Aaron, and Stephanie (?)] Hmmph.
