Hello World.

Hi, I'm Jaclyn and I'm an INFJ. Meyers Briggs personality types are important to me. Also, I always need to fight the urge to write angsty words on the Internet. Sometimes it's necessary, but not when we have only just begun. On another blog I found two little pieces I'd like to post here while I gather my thoughts, and this is the one that wasn't angsty. I wrote it recently while at work (don't tell!).

Today is one of those days I wish I could record all the little scenes in my head, the ones where instead of listening to ridiculous pop music on my headphones at my desk I am bursting into song in the lobby. It’s truly unbelievable what a good synthesizer riff and a catchy chorus will do to my general disposition.

If you’d like to get the full effect, queue up Aqua’s “Calling You” while reading this post.

My point here is, many of my waking hours are spent setting everyday life to music video or musical theatre-type situations in my head. To give an idea, I related very well to the scene in the last season of Six Feet Under where Claire sings the pantyhose song at her temp job. Secretly, when keeping company only with myself, I am bubbly and silly and full of song and dance. This is so totally me, and sometimes it’s just a shame that being me comes easiest when I’m not interacting with anyone.

But one of my favorite things about life is how laughing at yourself and being a little silly – even if not outwardly so – can be a lifeline between you and sanity.
