New Segment: How NILBOG is This?

Goblins are monsterous beings who need no reason to do evil things. There is a chance that Colleen could be a goblin queen, decedent of ancient druid origins. This segment of Colleen's Thinks will be a file of the various "food" things Colleen has prepared and a rating of how NILBOG they might be. Sample at your own risk.

Ratings: possibly NILBOG, marginally NILBOG, very NILBOG, seriously NILBOG and YUMMY MOM IS SO GOOD.

Rating: very NILBOG

2012 Ed. of Colleen Makes Resolutions for Other People

Colleen thinks her people have a lot of improving to do this year; not necessarily in the way of correcting last year's behaviors, but in new progress and things that will keep her excited.

Inspiration for the 2012 resolutions has come from Jane Loevinger's 9 stages of ego development, as found outlined in THE VISUAL MISCELLANEUM.

[wikipedia]

Colleen has been reading through Loevinger's stages and identifying where you exist on the spectrum. She dislikes people who are opportunists and diplomats.

Interestingly she has found that the only person to fit an alchemist profile (highest level) is Derek.

complexity, authenticity, charesmatic leaders, transparent self, interest in probelms of language and meaning, intuitive behavior, fluid orators, common flaw: feeling better than others, fearless, defenses: humor, deeply empathetic

Colleen challenges all her friends to move up one stage, except for Derek who has the most transparent self we know.

Example:

Kelly - Achiever. In order to move up one: become an individualist. Instead of perfecting, seek to be and feel, live in a paradoxical rather than scientific world.

Colleen, of course, has no need for improvement of the self, but for the sake of identifying her place on the scale, she is an Individualist.

We hope you have enjoyed this resolution made especially for you. Colleen is always glad to be of assistance any time you need help in judging your character flaws.
