MNCT 649 How to Be Compatible

[Terri Carey]

The assignment this week was conjugating character traits - Michael used:
    *  I am sparkling; you are unusually talkative; he is drunk.
    * I am righteously indignant; you are annoyed ; he is making a fuss about nothing.
    * I am a creative writer; you have a journalistic flair; he is a prosperous hack.
    * I am beautiful; you have quite good features; she isn't bad-looking, if you like that type.
    * I am religious; you go to church; he plays tennis with the vicar.
    * I have about me something of the subtle, haunting, mysterious fragrance of the Orient; you rather overdo it, dear; she stinks.

What did you come up with?

To be honest


I'm not really sure I get the example...

but I'll try.
 - This is my take on the example above... the same trait seen in ourselves seems positive, but when we see it in others it is "dificult to swallow" (?)


so here goes...

 * I think it is important to be on time; you don't run your life by the clock: she is disrespectful of me when she is late.
 * I am passionate; you focus on things that may be unimportant; she cares about the silliest things.
 * I try to be clear and thorough in my communications; you tend to beat around the bush; she never says what she means.
 * I have a rich and wonderful sense of humor; you feel you have to sometimes explain that it is a joke (shouldn't it be obvious?); she is cruel, and by saying "just joking", she feels she can get away with it.
 * I ask about you because I care; she tends to be a bit of a  butt-in-ski; "why you gettin' all up in my grill, yo?" (its from a rap song)
* I appreciate and strive to have a great knowledge base of many different subjects; he is a jack of all traits and a master of none; you are just a "know-it-all".

I think you got it!  Totally interesting to see things like that from different perspectives!
