THE SQUIGGLE PERSON
The SQUIGGLE PERSON is far from tidy. These individuals tend to be exceptionally creative, flamboyant, dramatic, and witty and, are the messiest and least-organised of all the Shapes. They can however, be very motivating people to be around.
Such people are surrounded by half-finished work and their desks are strewn with half-eaten food and old coffee cups. There are no family photos in the Squiggle's office and though to visitors their office may seem messy, to the Squiggle it is not because they usually know where most things are! If the Box person is chalk then the Squiggle is the proverbial cheese! Squiggles view themselves as being unique and challenging the "status quo". Some may even go to extremes to illustrate this.
The Squiggle can never go anywhere without carrying a lot of things and are usually flustered, harassed and in a hurry. They rarely finish a task and struggle immensely with routine work. This is not surprising given the fact that Squiggles undergo constant change and that they are very easily bored, requiring constant stimulation in both a personal and a professional capacity.
Upon the desk of your typical Squiggle will be a sea of self-adhesive notes which quite often spill over onto the floor below. The creative Squiggle may have one picture adorning the wall behind their desk but they probably never give it a second glance. Similarly, the curious Squiggle may purchase books on the most modern and exciting topics yet, rarely read them!
Squiggles often use phrases such as "Paperwork is a waste of time!", "I've got the best idea of all!" and "I don't take NO for a answer!" They also tend to be bad listeners because they are so eager to share their ideas with others. This can lead to complaints and ill-feeling from friends and colleagues. Squiggles tend to be the "idea producers" in society which may be partially attributed to the fact that they fantasize a lot. When they get excited about a project they can become very intense about it. They can also be quite volatile and as a result, are not especially good team-workers and are not really enthused about people in general.
the Squiggle person could be mistaken for being permanently in mourning as they are invariably attired in black. Following their creative streak, the Squiggle person probably enjoys arty films in their spare time, possibly even having membership of a film club.
Due to their lack of focus, Squiggle shapes are very useful for a firm to have around but they will probably never make it very far up the ranks. They do however have a razor-sharp wit and are the life and soul of the party - great people to be around. They can however, be rather embarrassing at times and can be labeled as a 'weirdo' by those who do not understand them.
Squiggles may be the type of people who find their niche in Web-design and development, thus fully taking advantage of the creative facet of their nature.

Shape Personality Type Profile
THE SQUIGGLE/RECTANGLE COMBINATION
At work: You are a true change agent. You get bored doing repetitive, routine work. You need variety in your work that allows you to "switch gears" often. Since you are primarily a right-brained thinker, you see the "big picture" and are more interested in "Why" than in "How".You are not detail-oriented; you are conceptual, creative, and intuitive. You are the idea person on the team. You love to brainstorm solutions to complex problems and you are very good at this. You are bright and a quick-thinker. In fact, it's difficult for you to "turn off your brain"--even in sleep. You often awaken at night when pondering over a work problem.
Personally, you are totally up-front, honest, and outspoken in your communication. You have an endearing "childlike" quality that draws others to you. You cannot tell a lie. You are very spontaneous and will say whatever is on your mind, even if it is not "politically correct." Because you are critical of upper management, you will be an individual contributor.
Your saving grace is your quick-witted sense of humour. However, when riled, you can be extremely sarcastic. Although you can deliver a brilliant performance when you are challenged, you can also be very disorganized, erratic, and undependable. You dislike paperwork and all forms of rules and regulations that you consider result from a management need to "control." Your desk looks like a hurricane hit it and you have paper strewn all over the floor.
However, you know where everything is, so it doesn't bother you. You are often late to meetings (if you come at all), and colleagues have learned not to trust you. You often feel isolated at work.
Your work habits are poor, but others forgive you and call you the "brilliant weirdo" in the back office. You prefer totally casual clothes and would wear your pyjamas to work if you could get away with it. You have a "flare for the dramatic" and love bright colours and large patterned fabrics. You are very "arty" and love avant garde theatre, art and music.
At leisure: What leisure? You are very project-oriented, both at work and at home. You work full-throttle, day and night, until you become bored. You may have many half-completed projects lying around. Somewhere in the mess is a brilliant innovation that could make you a millionaire, but you can't seem to get organized enough to find it. You are likely to live alone unless you find that perfect "Circle" person who will put up with your eccentric behaviour.
Talking straight...
Lately, you have NOT been yourself! Something has happened, causing you to question yourself. You are going through a difficult period right now. Your choice of the Rectangle indicates that you are in transition. You are experiencing great internal changes. You may feel that the old ways of behaving (as described above) are not working for you anymore. But...you do not yet know how to fix the problem. You are searching, questioning, exploring and generally feeling confused and frustrated.
Everyone experiences Rectangular periods in their lives. There is usually an identifiable cause. Some event/person/situation has provoked these feelings in you. Typically, the Rectangle emerges within us when a critical life event occurs; i.e. job change, relocation, promotion/demotion, marriage, divorce, loss of child/parent, physical accident/illness. You are forced to cope with this new life circumstance.
The Good News is that this period of stress and change will pass...it is temporary! And, when you come out at the other end of the tunnel, you will be a better person for it; you will be more sensitive and tolerant of others. These are admirable qualities that your Squiggle is often lacking!
Today's TIP!...
Enjoy this period of personal growth! Step outside of yourself today and take a look at the new person you are becoming. This is EXCITING!

"Travellers are a special breed of people..."
Travelling alone gives the universe a chance to guide & feel where you're supposed to be or who you are to meet and the messages to be shared. It's the intuitive feeling of being in the right place at the right time, that you've been led to a specific point on the planet with a chance to discover who you really are and why you are here.

once again, i got lost in transition
yeah yeah yeah... the 'phase of transition'
this limbo in which i feel blind every time i come back.
in these days of indolent void only two things are certain:
my best friend is definitely a book
still, my worst enemy is cellulitis
lol?
mmm
tomorrow i'm off to rome, capital city of italy man, visiting some good ol'friends.
rocking the confusion away, letting pervade the spirit with the deep vibrations of ben harper's sweet and painful voice, ka-ka boum!
it's great to have a little tiny happy buddha on the desk, if only i could see it more often through the mountains of books i surrounded myself during the nearly-a-month-now after my arrival from the australasian side of the world.
it's raining again, the tan has gone, i need waves
-big rumbling angry ocean waves
there are no waves in the mediterranean sea, it's kind of boring, it's like been in front of a big lake... just like in Taupo... 'the size of Singapore, meine Damen und Herren'
it's beautiful, absolutely stunning, but not as dramatically passionate as the ocean can be
i go to bed
and i hope this stream of consciousness will follow me into my dreams tonight.

enfin, je les ai retrouvés :D
voici des mots qui bien expriment la condition de ceux qui ont la chance de vivre à fond la vie et savent en saisir toute sa beauté. sans doute -dans un élan d'aveugle optimisme et modestie ;P- je me sens de partager les memes impressions/sensations de ces hommes qui profitaient aussi bien de leurs natures solitaires.
CONSEIL
Eh bien ! mêle ta vie à la verte forêt !
Escalade la roche aux nobles altitudes.
Respire, et libre enfin des vieilles servitudes,
Fuis les regrets amers que ton coeur savourait.
Dès l'heure éblouissante où le matin paraît,
Marche au hasard ; gravis les sentiers les plus rudes.
Va devant toi, baisé par l'air des solitudes,
Comme une biche en pleurs qu'on effaroucherait.
Cueille la fleur agreste au bord du précipice.
Regarde l'antre affreux que le lierre tapisse
Et le vol des oiseaux dans les chênes touffus.
Marche et prête l'oreille en tes sauvages courses ;
Car tout le bois frémit, plein de rhythmes confus,
Et la Muse aux beaux yeux chante dans l'eau des sources.
(Les Cariatides, 1842)
Théodore de Banville
(1823-1891)
JE SUIS LIBRE
Je suis libre. L'espace immense est ma cuirasse;
Je possède à moi seul l'air vierge que j'embrasse;
Les arbres me saluent de leurs rameaux pliés,
Et le vent vagabond vient me lécher les pieds.
Je ne suis plus un être englué dans sa race,
Et j'ai cassé les clous qui me rivaient l'esprit.
Et je montre aux rochers, aux feuilles, aux écorces,
L'homme, écume d'argent qui couvre et qui fleurit
Le ruissellement noir des forces.
J'ai repris l'attitude auguste et naturelle
Du vivant qui résume et complète la vie;
Les herbes, à genoux devant moi, glorifient
Mon âme solitaire élargissant ses ailes.
Je brandis mon vouloir et mes poings sans heurter
La muraille, l'idéee ou la chair défendue;
Ma conscience unique éclaire l'étendue,
Et mon isolement me fait illimité.
(La Vie unanime, 1926)
Jules Romains
(1885-1972)
