    Go with routine. It works. If it doesn't work, fix it.
    If it doesn't look right, taste right, sound right, or feel right, fix it.

    Not sure how well two lines will work, but oh well. I'm not getting graded for it. ...looks like I'm a boring perfectionist.

    Hmm you might be onto something, if I encounter something being broken I'll usually say 'fuck it' and just move on to something that isn't. I don't fix it. I like to just get a new one. ;p

    Not a rule, just a trend.

    IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.

    Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...

    I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.

    Ni: I need to do this and this to make these things happen in the future (but doesn't almost everyone think like this?) Gather as much information as I can to understand the world around me. Laze around and do little; conserve as much energy as you can. Put minimal effort for maximal gain. [In extreme situations] Escape from reality and fantasize. Imagine what it's like to live in a "better" world. Think about the future and how to get from the present to the future.
    Fe: I need to maintain good relations with people, but it's not always necessary (maybe that's just insecurity...). I need to understand people and what they are feeling and thinking. I need to understand what people are on about and how they go along a certain path. I need to keep calm and peace (these are generally not compulsive...).

    That's an interesting way to look at things... I think that's a very "J" way to look at things. I guess that if you were a "P", then you'd be like, "Oh, what the hell. I'll need to do whatever I can and whatever I can get a hold of to make it work." (because your "Routine" function is your Creative function... it's used as a tool to make things happen).

    yes yes. esp. the bolded part. "no, she's not lazy; just busy on the inside."
