God is not a man.

My Personality

Want to know everything about me? Read this.

As an ESFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.

ESFPs live in the world of people possibilities. They love people and new experiences. They are lively and fun, and enjoy being the center of attention. They live in the here-and-now, and relish excitement and drama in their lives.

ESFPs have very strong inter-personal skills, and may find themselves in the role of the peacemaker frequently. Since they make decisions by using their personal values, they are usually very sympathetic and concerned for other people's well-being. They're usually quite generous and warm. They are very observant about other people, and seem to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding warmly with a solution to a practical need. They might not be the best advice-givers in the world, because they dislike theory and future-planning, but they are great for giving practical care. So True!

ESFP is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. They love to have fun. If the ESFP has not developed their Thinking side by giving consideration to rational thought processing, they tend to become over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on their duties and obligations. They may also avoid looking at long-term consequences of their actions. I procrastinate all the time.

For the ESFP, the entire world is a stage. They love to be the center of attention and perform for people. They're constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. They enjoy stimulating other people's senses, and are extremely good at it. They would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party, in which they play the role of the fun-loving host.

ESFPs love people, and everybody loves an ESFP. One of their greatest gifts is their general acceptance of everyone. I do accept everybody! They are upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like almost everybody. An ESFP is unfailingly warm and generous with their friends, and they generally treat everyone as a friend. However, once crossed, an ESFP is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed them. They are capable of deep dislike in such a situation. I don't know how true this is. . .

The ESFP under a great deal of stress gets overwhelmed with negatives thoughts and possibilities. As an optimistic individual who lives in the world of possibilities, negative possibilities do not sit well with them. In an effort to combat these thoughts, they're likely to come up with simple, global statements to explain away the problem. These simplistic explanations may or may not truly get to the nature of the issue, but they serve the ESFP well by allowing them to get over it. I hate it when people are negative, and I do make global statements a lot. I.E. 'everything is going to be okay' because everything really is going to be okay. That's the way I see it.

ESFPs are likely to be very practical, although they hate structure and routine. They like to "go with the flow", trusting in their ability to improvise in any situation presented to them. They learn best with "hands-on" experience, rather than by studying a book. They're uncomfortable with theory. If an ESFP hasn't developed their intuitive side, they may tend to avoid situations which involve a lot of theoretical thinking, or which are complex and ambiguous. For this reason, an ESFP may have difficulty in school. On the other hand, the ESFP does extremely well in situations where they're allowed to learn by interacting with others, or in which they "learn by doing".

ESFPs have a very well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty!!!, and an excellent sense of space and function. If they have the means, they're likely to have to have many beautiful possessions, and an artfully furnished home. In general, they take great pleasure in objects of aesthetic beauty. They're likely to have a strong appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good food and good wine.

The ESFP is a great team player. He or she is not likely to create any problems or fuss, and is likely to create the most fun environment possible for getting the task done. ESFPs will do best in careers in which they are able to use their excellent people skills, along with their abilities to meld ideas into structured formats. Since they are fast-paced individuals who like new experiences, they should choose careers which offer or require a lot of diversity, as well as people skills. Becoming a teacher = every single day will be different. Yay.

ESFPs usually like to feel strongly bonded with other people, and have a connection with animals and small children that is not found in most other types. They're likely to have a strong appreciation for the beauties of nature as well.

The ESFP has a tremendous love for life!!!, and knows how to have fun. They like to bring others along on their fun-rides, and are typically a lot of fun to be with. They're flexible, adaptable, genuinely interested in people, and usually kind-hearted. They have a special ability to get a lot of fun out of life, but they need to watch out for the pitfalls associated with living entirely in the moment.

Photos that capture the essence of this girl named "Annie."

This photo inspired me to do this creative little blog post. This is my new 'thing': to wear my hiking boots with skirts. It's one of those things that I love so much, I honestly don't care what the world thinks of it. It is something that is just so me. 

This is the photograph that started it all. I took this photo with my SRL film camera in the passenger seat mirror of a friends car. I wish I could have found it in color, but those sun glasses at ruby red and my finger nails are hot pink. The peace sign fits nicely, as it would in many pictures to come. 

I love how big my smile is this picture. I was truly so happy. (By the way, this was taken at a Harry Potter midnight showing)

My dad got me that blue polka dot ring. I will never forget it. Once again, notice the finger nails. Also the "how to be a hippie handbook." I still don't know if I'm a hippie.

I love to dance. This photo shows that. I will dance and sing pretty much anywhere I feel comfortable. 

This was taken on the most important day of my life; my baptism. I love God, and though it might be impossible, I feel like this photo shows that. My humble bowing before God as I was about to show the world that I am firm believer in Jesus. 

So many details that I love in this photo: white sunglasses, Chipotle, Izze (the orange drink), my purse I got in Seattle, purple Iowa shirt, brown vest, and a smile. 

Friends are very important to me. This is me and friend Samantha. We were bored, so we took pictures of ourselves. I had my camera set on a tripod and we ran and laid down in my school's fancy crosswalk. It was a really good time. 

I like simple things in life. This lunch was wonderful. Plus, seriously who takes photos of themselves and their boring lunch? Annie Nelson does. 

Hands are the thing I'm most attracted to. My hand in this picture looks awesome. And this is just a really good candid(ish) shot. 

I want to hike and conquer bigger mountains. I feel powerful in this photo, and accomplished.

 

There is so much joy in this picture. I love silliness. This photo is a reminder to never stop being silly because it can bring so much joy. 

Many people have told me that I have really 'blossomed' since this summer. And I couldn't agree more. I am confident and happy. So much has changed this past year, and it all has been for the better. I can look back on this year and see how much I've grown through my terrible pain. It's such a good realization to know that everything really does work out for the good. 

Even though it's hard to see at times, everything truly will be okay. 

This world is going to end in one big swoosh of technology overload. 

    I've been thinking a lot recently about how fast technology is moving and how we have never seen anything like it. There are some major advantages to technology but some major disadvantages that everybody seems to overlook. 

    Humans have been around for a long time (5,000 - 1,000,000 years), and only in past 100 years have we had cars, tractors, recordable music, grocery stores, etc. And only in past 10 years things like cell-phones, lap-tops, i-pods, internet, and credit cards have gotten really popular. It's just blowing my mind. 200 years ago if you wanted to contact somebody in another country it would take months, perhaps years. Now, we can just hop onto skype and have free face to face conversation. Less then 5 years ago, most things were done through postal mail, now almost everything is done through e-mail. It's just boggles my mind how fast everything is today. If my computer freezes for a second, I get frustrated. For a second peoples! 

     One of the main advantages of technology is all the information at our fingertips. Literally, with the click of a button I can know anything that I want. I just have to google it. Do you realize how crazy and wild this is!!? If I was a college student 10 years ago, I would have to go to the library, and open books to find information. But now, within seconds, literally seconds, I can research anything. 

    I don't know man. This is just something I've had on my mind recently. It's bugging me too. I think technology is a great great luxury, but this is getting out of hand. I think we (america) needs to get back to the basics, and things that are really important and really needed. Like . . . agriculture! I have no idea how to farm or make food. This scares me. Most of my friends don't know either. I could look it up on the internet, but what's the point when I can just go to the grocery store. I don't know, I guess what I'm trying to say is; we (all people) use to have to work for food, like literally work in the fields or manage fields for food. Now, we still work for food, but we just work technology jobs. Is this okay? I don' t know. Technology just seems so unneeded to me. 

    I realized I said a lot of generalized statements. I guess my point is this; I'm just freaking out how fast our technology is moving and how much time we spend on it when we could be doing other things that absolutely needed.

 

ahhh!
