You scored 70% Carrie

Your answers peg you as a Carrie-type, much influenced by the Air Sign qualities associated with Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Like confident Carrie, a sex columnist, you're curious and perceptive, always seeking answers and never satisfied with the superficial. An Air Sign influence can lead to indecision and an avoidance of tough issues, like with Carrie and her on-again, off-again attachment to Mr. Big. Forward-thinking, incredibly intelligent and witty, you just exude quirky charm. You'd be utterly bored by someone who's just a pretty face or hot body -- though you don't mind looking and flirting! You're more turned on by an equally smart and funny mate, someone who challenges your mind and makes you laugh. You love to talk, so you need a good listener who's open to playful and eccentric ideas about love and lovemaking.

 

I was really scared I wouldn't be a Carrie. That would have been horrible. Because I identify with her a ridiculous amount. I wish I were a fictional charactar. Fictional people are always so cool. I had ten percent of each of the others, so I didn't feel like posting all that. I'm glad I'm a little bit Samantha. It would be a boring life if you weren't. I always try desperately hard not to be a Charlotte. I want to seem tougher. So I end up being like Carrie, trying to be 0hard on the outside and failing miserably at times. I'm glad I'm some Miranda, even though she's pretty screwed up with how she treats poor Steve, so that's no good and I know I'm like that or have definitely been like that. Maybe I'm not anymore.

 

But man. I hate Big so much. That's why I was searching Sex and the City in the first place: to find a discussion group to talk about hating Big. Wow, I really shouldn't be posting that because it officially makes me a loser. But it's ridiculous. He makes me cry. He makes Carrie cry. And I hate him. It's not healthy to feel so strongly for fictional characters. But... gah. I'll kill him. He doesn't make any sense. He's stupid. There have been other equally stupid fictional characters, but in movies not in fictional shows where they constantly plague me. But it's not really that I hate him. It's that she loves him. And he's a jerk. And he hurts her. Even though he loves her and if anyone says anything different I'll kill them too. And I really really really identify with that.

 

I think you can tell a whooooole lot about people by who they identify with or what stands out to them. And I think it's really cool. You see what they're afraid of, what they don't like in themselves, you can guess at the experiences that have really shaped who they are. Even in little stuff like this Scarlet Letter assignment where we made a huge list of one-word purposes of the novel. It was interesting to see what points really resonated with certain people. You can see their state of mind, just from the 5 or 6 words they circle as the ones that they think fit. And in movies, there are all these movies that aren't gut-wrenchers or chick-flicks that I just find unbearably sad. And people make fun of me. But it's all about connections. And the pathos always sticks out to me the most. If there's one sad part that really hits me in the movie, it's a sad movie to me and people are like, "What? It wasn't sad at all!" but... yeah.

 

All the time I ask myself, why do I feel so strongly about this? What is it that makes me think this way? Why did I do that? And then with characters I'm like, "Why do I so desperately want to strangle Mr. Big?" "Why do I sympathize more with her than him? Everyone else is on his side." And it always ties back to my fear or life experience. Wow I'm sure everyone's stopped reading by now.

 

But maybe that could be a new approach toward psychology. Dang, maybe I could start my own field! Though they've already got the word association thing which could be similar. I guess it wouldn't be a field, but a methodology or something. That'd be cool!
