You are very kind, dear. But I think the word is 'placid'.

This new colleague. From another project. I'm guessing late 20s or early 30s. Studied in Montreal, got her MA, back to work as RA before deciding where and what exactly she wants to do in her life. We hit it off rather alright. Well, she being the first new colleague I mention here sorta testifies to the fact that the vibes between us are ok.

So, we were talking about religions and our attitude towards religions. She was quite excited when I told her that there was a period of time during which I did meditation quite regularly. Like 2 or 3 times a week. So, we went on to talk about what are the things that went on in my mind when I meditated. I mentioned the typical stuff, about clearing up yuor mind, your thoughts, being reflective etc. Then, the word came. She said I look calm. At least, not like the hyper kind.

Hmm, calm? Erm, is it cool? Indifferent? Proud? or... what? I thought about it for awhile after we went on our separate ways. Then I think I remembered a word that was used to describe people of my zodiac sign. And, I think that's the appropriate word. It's 'placid'.

I am farking rational?

Wenn said that. haha. It's still quite ironic to think that she's the one saying that of me. Cos... like, 1. 'duh, have you just known me?' and 2. 'who's the pot and who's the kettle now?'

But, I guess she's right. On certain accounts, under certain most unlikely frantic situations, I usually react in a cooler way than ... hmm, most people? Or at least she won't disagree.

Rational. Maybe. But, more like, I like to prioritize things in a way that is most simple and logical. And I see no point in doing or saying things that are unconstructive. You know, just plain practical virgo character at work. Oh, and the placid part comes in quite helpful too.

haha...
