I love...the beach. Theres something so soothing about the noise waves make...The sand under your toes and the heat emanating from everything around you. You can look as silly as you want, wearing outrageous hats and people will not cast a second glance :P Its where I feel, for a place, most content. At one with myself. Purr...

Oral: you appear to have a good balance of independence and interdependence knowing when to accept help and when to do things on your own.
Anal: you appear to be overly self controlled, organized, and possibly subservient to authority, this effectively narrows your exposure to a wider set of options and ideas lowering the odds that you will make the best decisions in life.
Phallic: you appear to have a good balance of sexual awareness and sexual composure.
Latency: you appear to be overly practical; don't undervalue abstract learning, abstract learning increases your ability to make good decisions (and predictions) in the real world so it would be 'impractical' to shun it.
Genital: you appear to be somewhere between a progressive/openminded and regressive/closeminded outlook on life.
Freuds theorized that there are 5 stages of psychological development. At the oral stage the main issue is dependency, at the anal stage the main issue is self control, at the phallic stage the main issue is sexual identity, at the latency stage it's skill development, and at the genital stage its creativity and productivity.
Freud theorized that psychological problems are related to problems during one or more of these stages. For example, being too cared for or too neglected causes someone to be orally fixated, too much or too little control causes someone to be anally fixated, insufficient parental role modeling causes phallic fixation.
An orally fixated person is either irrationally dependent (expects what they want to just appear) or irrationally independent (always refuses help).
An anally fixated person is either irrationally self controlled and servile to authority or has no self control and is compulsively defiant of authority.
A phallicly fixated person is either a sexual compulsive (sexually innappropriate/promiscuou s) or sexually repressed.
Freud did not classify any latent fixation but I think it is as plausible as those at the other stages. I speculate that people that like to learn and acquire knowledge without any purpose or people that are compulsively non curious represent both dysfunctional ends of the latency spectrum.
The genital stage is the final Freudian developmental stage and according to Freud people don't all succeed at this. Freud believed the ideal for human happiness is to be happy in love and work, problems in one or the other cause unhappiness.
Like any personality system, Freud's developmental levels are just a theory, so, be speculative about your results.

First day of camp. Exhausted. Kids adorable. Some recognised from last year. We have two kids called 'Cow'. One who was there last year. We thought she was a boy. Only found out she was a girl on the fourth day when we herded (pardon the expression) all the kids into the toilets and she was adamant on going into the female one. Yikes. She's nice. Sounds like a guy. Looks like a guy. Then there's Ivy. Who remembered the 'shuttup' sign (finger on lips and hand raised) Sam's back. The tiniest baby from last year, and yet again, this year too. He's in my class. I like Yuki. She's attentive. And Miffy won't stop drawing pictures of me. Pictures soon. More on the actual day itself later.
Yes, Love is in the air. It can clearly be seen. I was sitting on the KCR and saw... A woman with her child, smiling over it...And the father making faces into the pram... A couple opposite me, linking pinky fingers, and trying to move their pinky finger without moving the others...laughing.. Another couple standing nearby, arms linked, their free arms holding takeaway... The lady beside me smiling, reading her text messages, always accompanied by a heart picture (It was big and luminous. How could I not have seen it?) Another pair, curled up against the edge of the train, cuddling, cooing... Then, the icing on the cake, an old couple, holding hands, asleep on each others shoulders...purr.. Tis summer. Tis gorgeous.

I'm hungry. Skipped lunch. Just realised I have two things to do tomorrow...both tuition and brazilian, at 10am. damn. Someone do one for me? *grin* Always
Yesterday I freaked myself out. My bank balance (and these days I can hardly call it balanced) was on the verge of being empty. I had $78.50 to last me 8 days. Yikes. But, a godsend came in the form of tuition, and a very sweet boy. I got an advance of $450, which wasn't too bad at all, and it'll see me through the week. In addition, she has a friend who wants to learn beginners spanish! Wooop Woooooop! (Sorry muffy, couldn't resist). So I might have tuition twice a day, with two different languages. If theres a God up there..Thanks, man. You saved my butt this time around. Always. Like a close friend said to me yesterday..."When god wants you, he'll get you". Well, hon, you were right. We aren't forsaken after all. And, we are resilient. Like rubber trees (Hail Monkey Island!)
