Aliens

On a summer afternoon many years ago my brother and I were shooting fireworks in our parent's friend's front yard. The adults were getting drunk in the hot tub. So my brother and I were minding our own business just playing as usual and then suddenly this giant black triangle showed up just above the trees. Immediately we turned and looked to see the horror in each other's face. I turn to look back at the immense object and notice out of the corner of my eye my brother shooting rockets at the damn thing. This instantly caused me to panic and try to stop him from showing aggression towards whatever is piloting this silent polygon. My next recollection is us both standing facing East as the huge craft slowly skids across the sky. This is when I notice a light in the center of the object that slowly pulsed from dark blue to bright blue. And it was gone. . .

My brother and I sprint to the garage where the adults are now extremely worried about us. We didn't understand why they were mad at us. We just wanted them to come see this thing in the sky. They were worried sick because to them we had been missing for over three hours. I thought they were just kidding. To me, we had only been outside about two or three minutes total. The only evidence that we had to show for ourselves was that we still had almost all of our fireworks left. I mean, what kid with fireworks just holds on to them for three hours? Well definitely not us.

Reflections

     I thought that the results of the Jung typology test was an accurate representation of myself, because while reading the results I related to them as if they were thoughts out of my own head. For almost every paragraph, I could think of events in my own experiences. . . Things I find myself doing on a regular basis could be easily seen in the ways depicted in the results written by J. Butt and M.M. Heiss.
     I can agree with the results of the test, I guess. I try to say what I mean in my writing, but sometimes find myself censoring what I write down. I would like to display my opinions, but end up wondering what people will think if I write those thoughts down. I often see my self as a leader in most roles that I go through in life. I find myself trying to help others out by showing them easier ways to accomplish their task. I don't have any issues with approaching others and giving them advice that I have learned along the way. I often spend time thinking of better ways to do several things so that I can save time and add other things to my agenda.
     I have to disagree with the part of the test that claims I have a judging personality. I do what I can to not judge others. I guess that from time-to-time I might judge those that I give advice to. If they take my advice I don't judge them badly. If they don't take my advice then I tend to not understand why they take the approach they do. I usually end up helping them. I suppose that sometimes I judge, but only if I don't understand what you have to say.
     I try to make my writing have a purpose. I want to teach others a way to handle a situation. I try to think of a problem and think of several ways to solve the issue while I am writing. Trying to do this is sometimes more difficult to do than others. I find myself thinking and free writing to try and find answers to how to write out my ideas. I guess that reflects my intuitive and thinking personality. I think that this test will make me think more about the subjects I am writing about. I will do what I can to avoid judging others and try to think more about how my writing can affect others. All while trying to remain unbiased.
