interestingly enough, this journey to the stage has me becoming more aware of my qualities. well i'd say the good and the bad but the truth is i have always been aware of the bad. i guess i just haven't always given myself enough credit.
i think i mentioned before that i have been losing sleep time because a couple of friends are going through their own personal turmoils. usually they turn to me, to talk, minutes from my 9 pm curfew and because of who i am, i usually end up staying up way past the aforementioned curfew.
my coach and i were discussing personality types during our last workout, which is what prompted todays comments. he described himself as an 'extremist', in the sense that everything he does or tries to do is on a grandiose level. he was also talking about other extremists we know and explaining that when extremists are up they are way up and when they fail, you just don't want to be around them.
it was then that i realized that i am a 'fixer'. i assume that it is a positive trait but since there aren't that many people in my life perhaps it is not. at any rate, if you have a problem i try to help. if you are down i try to make you happy. if your hurt... you get the idea. in a way it suprises me that i don't have more friends, you would think that would be the kind of person people want in their life. the reality seems to be the opposite. life can be funny like that.
i was supposed to pick up my bike and bring her home yesterday. unfortunately her fairings are still at the shop getting the plastic welds. this is not the best time of the year for cosmetic bike repairs as the shops are all filled to capacity with bikes that are getting ready for the summer. the new plan is to get her today. keep your fingers crossed.
oh yeah my coach, had this to say about the impending bike arrival. "if you ever kill yourself on that thing... i will bring you back to life, so that i can kill you myself!!!". and he THINKS after 6 years he needs to TELL me that he is an extremist???
