    Love this. It is certainly interesting, and -- please tell me if you mind me saying this -- a bit too interesting for Delta. It reminds me of a Gamma/SEE adventure (which I have often guessed is your type). SEE's seem to have that ability to pick up and go, and keep going, if the mood strikes them....

    Yes, I can definitely see that influence there!

    I was born with large birthmark on the forehead. It was red. It has disappeared then.

    From the childhood I prefer to sit with the crossed legs where it's possibly at home. Including the sofa and chairs. On a stool during the eating in the kitchen. On the chair near my computer I sit the same too. This has a problem in case the quality of the chair's cover is not good, as under the right feet the cover may wear through.
    At home I do not wear footwear like slippers or other, do not wear socks there too in all seasons.

    In NLP I relate to visual-kinesthetic type. This was assumed by the one who had advanced certification in NLP and communicated with me on a forum.
    NLP uses 3 perception channels: visual, audial, kinesthetic (sensations).

    Socionics' sources have the hypothesis about the link of Jung's types and the prevaling perception channel. In the book by R. Sedykh the links were described as: visual - P-E, audial - J-I, kinethic - J-E, tactil - P-I
    I suspect the most of J-E are visuals like me.

    I'm not emotional, in general. With one exception. My feelings to women. When I like a woman - I open my heart to her. She then may give me very good emotions or to hurt me very strongly even by minor actions. Sometimes the 2nd mb not seen, but I become unable to get the pleasure from the life and lose the interest to it.

    Some people say that at 1st sight I look younger than I am on about 5-10 years. Psychically I do not feel myself other than was in that age. By men line the known relatives-men live some longer, keep relatively good health and working productivity on 5-15 years longer than in average. That could affect also the look. Some chance I may to have at least ~400 years of aristocrats by men line and this affected the genes.

    In the childhood I had small collections of:
    - folding knives
    - flashlights
    - labels from bottles of carbonated drinks
    - anniversary coins
    - badge signes

    I'm still often attracted in shops to look what they sell among knives and flashlights. The reason holds me from spares on them, though I'd wish to get some relatively expensive models. I understand there will no be significant practical usage and are better ways to use those money.

    I also have some interest to old computer stuff and have some. Like P3 computer with ISA, Voodoo 5500, Vortex2, WinXP computer with hardware FM. Also I have made some noticable contributions to retro gaming.

    McDonalds was opened in 1990 in Moscow.

    I was there at Summer of that year. There was a long queue to enter in which I stayed for ~2 hours.
    I liked there: the coctail, hamburger, potato free, ice cream. When I visit Moscow I get a breakfast at McDonalds on Tverskaya street. McDonalds has acceptable meal, if not to eat it often.
    They have cafes in my town for several years. But I never visited them still, much due to political aversion to USA and the smell near them.

    Try another meal there. Coctails, for example.
    I had no such, but that was some years before. The quality could drop after time or to be worse in some places than in others.

    What I like. McDonalds has the standards which guarantee: 1) not bad taste (for many ones), 2) high calorie (useful in traveling), 3) safe, no poisoning (not as everyday meal), 4) cheap, 5) similar food anywhere, 6) clean place, 7) stable to exist and to work.
    In a traveling food networks are better than random cafes and food sellers. It's possibly to find better - but this needs the research in every new place you'd visit, better the recent research. McDonalds is wide spreaded, so even if you'd prefered another network - the good chance McDondalds will be there, while the others - mb not, or McDonalds will be situated closer or in more comfortable places or has better working hours. For example, the mentioned above cafe opens at ~6:00 - just after Metro starts, so you mb sure when you go from the train station on Metro - that cafe works like years before; it's close to the city center where is situated the most you'd need or can go further in any direction.

    Mc donalds in my country is not really cheap. It costs like any other regular meal and any other meal is better for sure. Even if its from another fast food chain,
    for example KFC tastes better and probably is less poisonous (at least doesn't cause me stomach ache). SUBWAY is actually healthy.
    If I'm going to eat an hamburger I'd chose Carls Jr/ Hardees over McDonalds even when the beef also tastes a bit like chlorine.

    Everything in Mc donalds except ice cream tastes to chlorine and provokes me stomach ache, even the coffee, so I wouldn't try anything else from them in any nearly future lol

    I was <5 yo kid on a celebration of Labor Day (1 May). We went in a column full of flags, flowers, political notes, etc.
    Our town was visited sometimes by foreigners from other socialistic countries, which studed here, had deals of production, trading, culture, were tourists, etc. Also they could to take part in celebrations.

    A man from Hungarian People's Republic has come to me and gifted his badge.



    It's an award badge which was given for labor achievements.

    The possible link with Hungary will appear later in my destiny. On the territory where I live exist descendants of different ethnoses, including nomadic ones. Some people by the appearance may remind the ones living in different countries of today. And the girl to which I got the love feelings in the school associated for me with hungarians.

    I found some evidence that my great-grandfather was slovenian. His birth certificate said Austrian, but it was part of the Austrian-Hungarian empire at the time and it covered a lot of different ethnicities. We still aren't sure, but it is interesting. His parents came to the U.S. in the late 1800s.

    You know that Slovenia and Slovakia are two different countries and people from Slovakia are Slovaks not Slovenians. This is why I hate to be from a country that has a population of 5 million. People constantly think that I'm from Slovenia, Hungary, Czecho-Slovakia or that I made it up and my country doesn't exist. LOL, fml (Not that it would be your fault for not knowning, most people don't know, it's just tiring that I have to explain myself all the time).

    I have never yet met my fiance in person.

    He lives in another country.

    We have known each other now almost 3 years.

    We are finally getting a chance to meet in just a few weeks. I am traveling there.

    I'm nervous.

    I know we are type compatible, but still nervous because we come from very different backgrounds.

    I am on my 2nd flight en route to visit the Asian continent for the first time. This next stop will be in the Middle East.
    As a resident of the USA, the only foreign country I had ever previously been to has been Canada.

    In age ~5 yo I was attracted to the term "symmetry". It looked for me as important, somehow.
    One of remembrances. I talk with a kid in the kindergarten. Tell him about a symmetry as a study or science, a principle which explains something more general than geometry.
    It's doubtfully that I knew about Yin Yang philosophy in that age.

    I never thought about links of that in the context of my current interests and views until yesterday. Jung's types and functional symmetry as a perfect psyche state [unlike functional accentuation of the types] - when all 8 functions are good and equally developed, differentiated and consciouse, when IR problems dissappear. Jung should to had the similar opinion. The psyche state the closing to which I think as a way of peoples [and mb socium] impovement by Socionics. The state when people become wiser, stronger and happier, better and more wholely consciouse themselves, may cooperate more effectively, in general. The state the way to which through love in duality should make people more compassionate to others. By this sociums as more humanistic, effective, reasonable.

    In USSR schools we had diaries for everyday marks by which teachers evaluated our knowledge of subjects. Also homework tasks on the next days were written there.
    Every page had 3 sections with several lines for subjects and the marks. A turn had 2 pages what showed a week.
    Parrents needed to place a signature for every week pages in the diaries. So they saw the current marks.
    Sometimes in the diaries teachers could to write important notes for parrents.

    The very first week's pages of my school diary (of 1st year study) contained 3 teacher's notes about my inappropriate behavior on lessons. I was active kid, only to sit and listen was new requirement and so I distracted on talking. 2nd week in the diary has no behavior criticism already. But it has another note - in one of days I came too late on lessons.

    Later. When I studed in the university I got not a single discipline issue due to talking on lessons. Some teachers were strict with this and alike in school demanded to leave the lesson on ~10 min. So I needed later to take someone's notebook and copy its texts related to the lesson.
    The issue with coming some minutes later on lessons has stayed with me as common also.

    A president of Italia was ~10 km from me.
    Possibly, it's the closest distance at which foreign president was to me.
