A day in the life of an ESTp

[Darklord]

That is close to 100% different from how I think!

How do maple leaves turn from green to red like that?

It's because the chlorophyll (The stuff that makes plants green, a very important part in the photosynthesis, which is the process that turns CO2 and sunlight into O2, oxygen, and sugar, and thus is the very basis for all life on planet Earth) is retracted from the leaves by the tree in a chemical reaction to the cold (Leaving the leaves their original red), thereby killing the leaves and saving the plant from the pointless energy expense that keeping them nourished through winter would be. This could actually save the life of the tree.
And don't ask me why I remember that ...

(And, yes, I realize you didn't really want an answer :wink: )

Those are funny.

OMG herzblut you're too cute!

"Oh wow, a bright new day!

Gizzawd, how did my iPod get that hot?

Time to shower!

Can I sleep in the shower?

I have to get this and this and this done before 6 AM today.

Tralala the sky is bluuuuuueee

Gaahhh! Ran out of waffles!

Where are my good shoes?

I hope Dan and Andrew show up today.

Let's take another route today.

Whoa, crazy clouds this morning!

I can't wait to do _____________ today.

Whoa, if I get that, my life will be ten times better!

Und es wird kalt!

Ooh, the Daily Show is on! Let's go watch it!



Donde esta mi cabeza?

Damn straight!

I'd hit that.

Why do my shins hurt?

Cats are so cute.

Let's call a friend:

"Hey, this is Laura. Is Bob there?"

I want to go swimming tomorrow.

My cat is so fuzzy.

I can type very quickly! :wink:

Night night."

This is why I love estp's so much! You're like a breath of fresh air!! :-D

What really interests me is that part of your mental activity is in German.

Aber Deutsch ist ja nicht so slecht, ober, Herzblut?

Well, not exactly. You talking to a former forest ranger wannabe here! Did you know the degree of cold determines color? You will notice that the same tree is not the same color every year. My sister in Oregon misses the brilliant reds and oranges of Pennsylvania trees. In Oregon it is too warm and the leaves only turn yellow. Boring!

[Darklord]

I'd guess that is due to the amount of chlorophyll left in the leaves.
