Deanna's Reread and Randomness

Isnt there a Warcraft III out as wel as World of Warcraft? What you doing playing Warcraft II?

Then again i still play a game or 2 once every few months on my old Super Nintendo
I swear 3D ruined 70% of the videogames for me. Except a few exceptions they just dont make games like they used to.
 
Warcraft came out back in 1994. Warcraft II came out in 1995. They were fun. I've never played Warcraft III, but I do play WOW on Azjol-Nerub, btw. I never has SNES, I played the old NES... Blades of Steel, 10 Yard Fight, Contra, Bomberman, Rockman (the Japanese Megaman), Tetris, Super Tetris, and Super Mario Brothers. And before that I played the Atari 2600... I played hundreds of games on that. And I was about nine when my dad bought Atari Pong when it first went on sale... ah, the good old days.

Anyway, I was thinking about Cersei. My evaluation of her on the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator would be ENFJ. Any comments?
 
I think only one other on the forum understands his N, F type thingie
 
Its called a search engine. A simple dozen keystrokes and you too can understand Boaz...and as an added bonus you get to learn something.

Its Myers-Briggs by the way Boaz.....

So go ahead and google up MBTI or Myers Briggs and enjoy reading about Jung as well.
 
Actually, Boaz, this thread is so I (or anyone else) can jack it, and it won't be called "jacked" because the title includes "randomness."

So, the characters' MBTIs. I was thinking about diong a thread on that, too.

Ned... T or F... Does he value justice or mercy? Well, he seems more merciful than other characters. he gets the job of justice done, but he makes it his duty stay personally involved, so I think you're right about the F. Yes, most definitely a J, all the way.

King Robert? Total ESFP. He talks like a J, but he changes his mind and gets over his bad self. That's what Ned says of him anyway... Only in different words.

Also, I won't share my type because the TJs will point to that as the error in all of my logic on this forum from now on -DOH! - I just more or less shared it!
 
Personality Test Center - Discover your personality type.

That's a link to the test I've found with the least ambgiuous language in the questioning. But just Google "Myers-Briggs peronality," and tons of stuff will come up.

I've been experimenting on the fam lately, to understand their weirdnesses (or lack of, which makes them especially weird), and I found a few things that say INTPs are especially drawn to science fiction and fantasy! What do you know? I was wondering how many of them are on this forum. INTPs and INTJs are also known for their sarcasm...
 
Okay, here's something I noticed on my reread. The antler lodged into the direwolf. I knew there was meaning, but I didn't pick it up on the first read. And I actually did pay attention to it. It's actually very unsual for me not to notice something as blatantly symbolic as that.

Catelyn understood the implications of that and was very nervous about King Robert's vsit. I don't remember how much Ned hought about it, but Ned did not seem to always see te big picture... He lived by tradition. He trusted that duty an honor were the paths were parts to be played in the big picture. That's why I am thinking he may be more "S." Not to mntino that he has more respect for offices than would any "N." However, those were the times... So, it may be different.

Now, that was uncalled for, plain nasty puching me like that.
Sometimes you just dont want to understand boaz.
 
Update on my reread: my attention span is not long enough to make a second commitment to the series.

My attention span is not long enough to remember what I wanted to post when i thought about posting it.
 
Take notes as you read. Then post them one at a time or wait until the reread is over and synthesize your notes and come up with the answers to all of our blathering.
 
I decided a few days ago to redo my reread... I wasn't very far anyway. Someone suggested I take notes since I can only hold a thought in my head for, like, thirty seconds.

What was I going to write about?

Anyway, I am not making headway because I do not want to read that first chapter of the first book. It's very boring as a reread. And its creepy. It was creepy in the first place, and it is creepy in the second. That Ser-whoever-gets-killed was an ass, too. I don't like to read about that lordling bossing around two older and wiser gentlemen of the Night's Watch. It really P's me O! I hate people like that, even in books. However, while I know for almost certain that nothing more can be gleamed from that chapter, I am commited to a thorough examination of it. I like to pull **** from nothing.

I can't wait to get to the Jon chapter where the feat is going on. I have been fancying (Is that how you spell that?) the idea of Benjen being Jon's dad. Maybe Lyanna and Benjen shared something in common with two eldest Lannisters... Probably not. Actually, just NOT. Benjen sounded final about his comment when he tells Jon "A shame I'm not," after Jon says, "You're not my father!"

Here's the important thing, the thing which remains a mystery. Benjen is provoking Jon to join the Night's Watch. He seems to be discouraging him, but I really think he's just fanning his flame, like Cersei "discouraging" King Robert from taking part in the Hand's Tourney. So, my question remains: Is Uncle Benjen's only motivation to make an honorable knight out of Jon? Does he really just want Jon to find a place where he, too, can rise to knighthood like his siblings? Or is there more....?
 
I don't think he wanted him to join, but deep inside it was a source of pride that one of his family members would want to and be there with him.

I don't think there is any past mystery when it comes to Benjen. I.e him being Jons father or him dying years before etc etc ... I think he is what he is.

The only mystery nowadays is, is he dead? Did he find the children of the forest? Is he a wight?

When it comes to his quote to Jon about not being his father i think it was just wishful thinking. That he wished he had a son. Maybe he wishes Jon was. You know like a dear family friend or uncle that is single all his life but takes a deep interest in one of your kids like it was his own due to the fact that he doesnt have one. Thats all.

You know what? I agree with you about Benjen being just Uncle Benjen. But you know what else? I enjoy making something out of nothing. I can be a drama queen for a day, in a forum. Or a Donna Quixote. It's my thread, and I'll be irrational if I want to:p

So, Benjen is totally Rhaegar, right?

I was thinking about something tonight when I was cooking dinner. I was thinking of Bran's first chapter when Gearge gives the descriptions of Brans two older brothers. It describes Robb just like his namesake, Robert. Hes robust, hearty, intense, extraverted. Jon, while darker like Robert, seems to be more like Rhaegar, lean, quieter.... more myseterious, intraverted. Oh, except, of course, Robb was raised with a Stark's honor.

I always read with nervousness about Robb and Jon, hoping their relationship wasn't too fragile. Now that Robb's dead, I don't need to worry any more. Thank God. (Is that sick?)

The first time I read it, I just thought Jon was more like his dad, Ned. But now I think he's more like his other dad. I think the whole Jon/Robb relationship kind of mends the Rhaegar/Robert thing.
 
Rhaegar and Robert are actually something like seventh cousins twice removed on their mother's sides. But DeBe's point is that Robb and Jon take after their point of namesake... which would seem to mean that we should compare Jon to Lord Arryn.
 
This is the most random, bizarre thing I have to post as of yet. In fact, it borders craziness.

I was reading A Game of Thrones beofre I went to bed two nights ago. That night, I dreamed about the stupid book, and that Ned was a dwarf. I was thinking, "How could I have missed that? Why do I keep forgetting that?" There was this scene (in my dream) where Ned comes back from hunting, acting drunk and King Robert-like, and Catelyn is being kind toward him, but I think she was pissed hat he was acting a fool in front of the kids. She kinda reminded me of Sansa when she was marrying Tyrion.

I kept wondering if that meant something concerning Tyrion and Ned and their bloodlines. Sometimes things get screwed around in dreams.

So, I know that sounds weird, but it's really not particicularly weird. Sometimes, I have random dreams all night long. Last night one of my nightmares was that I had to replan my wedding. :eek: Ah, the stress! (The dream included a full cast of psycho family members and in-laws, thank you.)
