Well, I've been reading everyones blog tonight and I've come to the conclusion that the cast majority of the team is either introverted to the point of extroversion, or just damned insecure. Andrew interestingly enough thinks I'm a cold hearted jerk, but thinks I'm normal. Oddly he treats me rather friendly, after all he's taking lessons from me for free, and rendering a DVD of my bands last gig for relatively cheap. Tonight Adam asked if I liked my job, and when I attempted to give him a full answer he gave up on listening because the words "yes" or "no" weren't immediately appearant. It seems to me that Adam just wants someone who's not going to move passed him, to stay on the same mental level with him, to linger in the same state of thought and not deviate.
Joshua Chadwhick is extremely intruiguing - he wants Jon's job. Thats far more ambition for The Chad than I'd have ever thought of. I wonder if perhaps my talk with him a while ago about the principle of ultimate consiquence had something to do with it - but I wouldn't credit myself for that in whole. Everyone's live provides them with the knowledge and experiance they need I believe - its just up to the person to recognize it and take advantage of it. But Mr. Chadwhick had some relatively solid goals which I found very impressive. What impressed me more was that in such little time he was able to narrow down the scope of his interest and filter out identifable attainable goals. It took me 5 years to figure out what I wanted.
Mathew, though not a blogger man himself, and extremely introverted has had his head burried in his psychology book for the last few days making steady progress. The things he finds interesting are a bit submediant to the things I gravitate towards, but it's interesting to see him declare anything - theres always a subtle shade of doubt in his voice with a bit of hesitance in his expression, as if he himself wasn't sure or not if he was certain what he were saying was true, or if what he said was what he belived. He truly was a gazelle in another life - one flighty kid to say the least.
Nathan Colby is a whole different kind of creature, more like me in some ways, but not quite - the differences are many - far more than the similarities. Nathan has on many occasions said that he likes the major events, that the details weren't as important, if at all. Oddly enough he pays a considerable amount of attention to details, not only at work, but in his recreational life as well - take the kid on in a kendo match and you'll see what I mean. I'm confident in my swordsmanship but I'll admit that kid has a number or two on me - but he's yet to see my full range of tactics - and I think thats for the best; some of my advanced moves that result in a "kill" can't be practiced with a shinai too well, and even if they could it'd be absolutely stupid of me to do so - especially to Nathan, who would I spare with if I broke his arm or leg or rib cage?
Still though he pays excellent attention to the data at work, understands how the mind works and has what I would deem to be a very clear preception of the world around him - he's a sharp kid, even if he says the moderation, the wide view, the broader scope - etc. It's funny to watch him controdict himself at times. I'm not perfect by any means, but it's uniqe to see someone who try's to stay detatched even offer an opinion. When he's on the phone with people I've noticed if they give him any trouble he'll become very cold and very authoritarian about dealing with them. Oddly enough he's a teddy bear to anyone I piss off.
He's had his issues in the past with chemical abused, homelessness, all sorts of things, but he's very focused now. I wonder what kind of person he'll be in ten years.
