Humour me, if you will. I want to find out the inner workings of your minds using the theories of Sigmund Freud.
It's quite simple really - all to do with how you prioritise things. So answer me the following.
Five things are happening in your house at the same time. In which sequence would you solve them?
1. The telephone is ringing!
2. The baby is crying!
3. Someone's knocking or calling you from the front door!
4. You hung the clothes out to dry and it is beginning to rain!
5. You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing!
In which sequence would you solve these problems? Write the sequence and than I'll tell you all what your decisions mean.

2. See to the baby and remind self not to get left looking after someone else's parasite in the future
3. Get in the washing
4. Yell to whoever's at the door and if I know them, tell them to let themselves in.
5. Let the answering machine get the phone.

Let the person in
Ask them to switch off the tap for me and tell them I'll be right with them
Answer the phone
See to the baby
Get washing in and get the heater by the clothes horse ready.
Am I a psycho?

Ok, so my sequence is:
5. You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing! I'll turn the tap off and pull out the plug, then...
3. Someone's knocking or calling you from the front door! ...open the door and tell them to hang on a moment while I...
2. The baby is crying! ...go and fetch the baby and deal with whoever's at the door, get rid of them and put the baby to sleep or feed it, then...
4. You hung the clothes out to dry and it is beginning to rain! ...doesn't matter, they're wet anyway so I'll go and get them in and bung them in the tumble dryer, then...
1. The telephone is ringing! ...let it ring - the answer machine will get it. I'll call them back later. |

OK. Let me have a go!
1. Rip the phone plug out of the socket & open the window.
2. Throw the phone out the window hopefully knocking out the person at the door.
3. Put the baby in the washing machine. If it has a good seal on it, you wont hear the crying.
4. Leave the tap running until it floods the whole ground floor then get a whole new set of carpets & stuff off the insurance.
5. Sod the washing and go down the pub!
Analyse That!

Well then.
First off - what each element represents in your life.
1. Telephone - represents Work.
2. Baby - represents Family.
3. Door - represents Friends.
4. Clothes - represent Money.
5. Tap - represents Sex.
The analysis'

3. Get in the washing
4. Yell to whoever's at the door and if I know them, tell them to let themselves in.
5. Let the answering machine get the phone. |
1. I'm overdue a shag
2. I feel a responsability to my family but resent them for it.
3. My debts and stuff are a niggle in the back of my mind constantly but I know I'll get them sorted if I keep an eye on things
4. I'm cautious as to who I befriend.
5. My current job is not what I want to be doing right now.

1. A's friends are what mean most to her in the world and she'd drop everything to help.
2. Sex for you involves your relationship with the friend you trust the most (and for A I know her best friend is her guy)
3. You're taking work in your stride and getting on with it.
4. Her family are there in her life but are a minor, background hassle.
5. Money's not something she's overly bothered about. It's nice but not really an issue.

Interesting.
1. Take what conclusions you will, I don't know much about your sex life!
2. You're committed to your friends but expect as much as you give in return from them.
3. Family and friends are important to keep happy.
4. Money is "meh" easy-come, easy-go. You can deal with whatever you get.
5. You're not afraid of working but it's got to be on your terms.
And finally, the easiest one of the lot!

1. You love your job but it's also the biggest pain in the ar$e.
2. Most of your friends are ones you've made through your job.
3. Family is nice to have but you wouldn't want your mates to see your soppy side.
4. Sex is good as long as you get something from it.
5. Money is made for p!ssing up the wall.
I wish I'd done more than a year of psychology at uni - that was fun! :D
*note to self - get help*
