Psychoanalyze yourself
These things are pretty silly, but also kind of fun. Plus the expectation of an analysis makes you think to much about your answers.
Psychoanalyze Yourself; Don't read ahead, just answer the following questions one at a time WITHOUT LOOKING AHEAD with the first thought that comes to mind. Then read what each answer means at the end.
- You are walking in the woods. You are not alone. Who's with you?
- You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
- What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
- You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your dream house. How big is it?
- Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
- You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining table is covered with?
- You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
- What do you do with the cup?
- At the end of your property you find a body of water what kind is it?
- How do you cross that body of water?
The explanation
- The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important to you.
- The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life.
- The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems.
- The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition.
- A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer people not drop by unannounced.
- If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy.
- The durability of the material with the cup is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship.
- What you did with the cup is representative of your attitude.
- The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your relationships.
- The way you cross the water is representative to how easy or hard you expect your life to be.

1. You are walking in the woods. You are not alone. Who's with you?
My brother, Ben. Oh, or maybe Kate.
2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
A fox or raccoon. Beaver? Oh, you know what? It's totally just a squirrel. Yeah, it's a squirrel.
3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
We don't interact at all.
4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your dream house. How big is it?
The house, or the clearing? In my mind, a "clearing" in the woods is tiny, but most dream houses are large. Um, small clearing, moderate-sized house? That sounds uncomfortable. I guess the house is small.
5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
In the woods? No.
6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining table is covered with?
Nothing. I mean, maybe an arrangement of fake flowers in the middle. I'll get rid of that when I move in. I'll replace it with a bowl of fresh fruit.
7. You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
Do you mean like an athletic cup? Probably not. It's a green plastic drinking cup. One of a set that I currently own.
8. What do you do with the cup?
Ew. Leave it there. Ugh, I guess since this is my house I'll keep the yard clean. I pick it up and throw it in the trash.
9. At the end of your property you find a body of water what kind is it?
A stream.
10. How do you cross that body of water?
I hop over it.
I'm posting this before reading the explanation.

Many of these seem accurate. But the explanations seem vague. In 7 and 9, for instance: what relationship(s)? In 8, my attitude toward what?
Kate actually has a book that's full of psychoanalysis stories like this one that she got right after we moved into our apartment. We spent a night going through some of them. (One of them involving a strawberry garden revealed that I am actually a total slut. It was hilarious.) It's called Kokology, I think? Yeah, here it is. Lots of fun!

Okay, so for number #6, what if the dining room table is covered with human corpses? Those are still technically people, right? So I'm still a generally happy person?
Kate the Quiet
17 March 2008 08:50pm UTC
Okay, my answer wasn't really corpses. But why would any table be "covered" with people? Get off my antique dining room table, people!

Here are my answers WITHOUT LOOKING AHEAD!! I HAVE NOT READ THE EXPLANATIONS!!
1.You are walking in the woods. You are not alone. Who's with you?
Well, I wasn't alone at first, but then the person I was with suddenly bolted out of the woods, laughing maniacally. Now I'm kind of lost, and that friend was my ride home...
2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal?
Whoa, what is that creature? I don't have my glasses on. Is it a T-Rex? A shark riding a grizzly bear? Oh, whew, no. It's just a giraffe-elephant hybrid, recently escaped from the futuristic zoo.
3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
I walk right up to it, smile, and then shoot all of its legs out from under it. Then I cut out its heart and bury it. Then I set the burial mound on fire.
4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your dream house. How big is it?
This house is huge! Big enough for me and the giraffe-elephant hybrid and all of its children to coexist peacefully. Too bad I killed it and will be hunting its children later today.
5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
I don't know if I would call it a fence. It's more of a fortress wall, complete with barbed electric wire and a team of what appear to be highly trained security personnel. Also, it's made of reinforced steel that's perpetually heated to a searing 5000 degrees. And there are lots of corpses around...people who tried to break in, I guess.
6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining table is covered with?
I certainly don't see any corpses in here. There are a lot of flowers. And food, wow, yeah...tons of it. No people though...they can't get past security.
7. You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it?
I see a 1oz paper cup, and it's already pretty smashed. There is also a hole in the bottom.
8. What do you do with the cup?
I tear the cup to shreds, then bury it. Then I set the burial mound on fire.
9. At the end of your property you find a body of water. What kind is it?
I would hardly call this a "body of water"...it's just a puddle. No more than a couple of inches deep. So incredibly shallow. Almost shallow beyond belief.
10. How do you cross that body of water?
Well, funny story. I was going to stomp across it, but I accidentally tripped on a random burial mound, and landed face down in the puddle. That knocked me out pretty good, so I ended up drowning. I hope that's not a bad sign!

My specific answers are from before reading the analysis. But, I wrote this afterwards. If you look hard, my answers are in there somewhere.
1) I misread this question as: "You are walking in the woods. You are alone. Who's with you?" So, I guess I'm alone, or with a reading tutor, or a paradox king, or something. On further inspection, it turns out that I'm with Jette.
2) A bird. A small, fat bird. This bird, it turns out, is the main problem in my life.
3) It chirps. I hate that stupid bird.
4) I agree with Poppy. A clearing is small. I guess my house is a little patch of dry earth on top of a short hill. I really wish that I hadn't tried to live in an imaginary house.
When I realized that I was supposed to have imagined a bigger clearing, my house became, I don't know, bigger. Like a house.
5) Who builds a fence in an isolated clearing in the woods? Are you keeping the trees out? Beware: trees that enter my patch of dry earth end up looking like this! I guess it'd be nice to have a way to keep that stupid, fat bird out.
6) I imagined lots of dancing people on my table. People dancing on food. And flowers. Flowers dancing on more flowers. Actually, for some reason there were a lot of open notebooks there. Whomever's house I'm breaking into certainly seems to like notebooks. And openness.
7) There is a teacup on the ground. It is... porcelain?
8) I leave the cup, then think better of it, and return it to the house. Since the house doesn't have a fence, any old hoodlum wandering around the forest of my psyche looking for things to loot could happen upon it... and not see the house.
9) It is a lake. My relationships are huge! Seriously, they require two seats each on an airplane. I mean, one of my relationships could accidentally sit on a normal relationship and crush it to death. My relationships are what America aspires to be.
10) I walk around it... Is that easy or hard? I don't know why I didn't just imagine my house on the opposite side of the lake.
Is it just me, or did everyone else also forget that you are with someone after the first question? I mean, Bolty really could have helped Kate out there in the end.

kate! that was hysterical!
is it weird that most of my answers were either the same as benji's or some sort of cartoon variation?
[i wrote this in textedit, and am copy/pasting.]
-ummm this is the only one i'll censor. sorry. but i won't censor the amount of clothing involved (on my companion): none!

-they stare at me
-very very small. also kinda run down. but so cozy and everything i need.
-no
-fruit in the middle and wine. and the fruit is fresh so i don't need to worry about getting weird chinese bacterial disease. no cloth. i hate table cloths.
-red plastic keg cup. got i hate frat parties. leave their fucking plastic cups everywhere.
-i pick it up in disgust. see above.
-small stream
-i take a little hop.

Peter, if your answer to the first one was 'Keri' you can just say it, no need to censor yourself here.

Peter...going naked in the woods is a bad idea. Your companion is going to get tics, and then maybe some stream leeches. And how sexy is a companion with lyme disease/parasitic leeches attached to her skin? Not sexy.
The Anonymous Poppy
19 March 2008 12:27pm UTC
Kate, you may want to note that at no point did Peter indicate his companion was female. Or sexy. Merely that the person was naked.
That being said, I definitely agree that naked in the woods is not the best idea. What a rough terrain for a lot of exposed skin! I'd be more concerned about cuts, scrapes, and bruises than ticks and leeches.
Kate the Quiet
19 March 2008 02:49pm UTC
Whoops, the way I spelled "tics" means that his companion is going to experience sudden facial spasms. Or recurrent involuntary muscular "quirks." That might be worse than lyme disease, in the end.

19 March 2008 06:10pm UTC
I agree with Kate and Poppy. Being naked in the woods sounds like a very bad idea! Especially if it somehow causes facial spasms...

So, it turns out I have really little problems (fox-sized) that I can step right over (like a babbling brook). And almost no ambition, and a completely open attitude.
For some reason, I actually envisioned a second dining room table on the dining room table.

naked in the woods... yeah, i suppose you're right. and i can't imagine fig leaves are very good for protection (especially when the fig leave would need to be so damn big!)

Here are my answers:
1. My best friend Jack, the only person i can be myself with and the only person in the world i turst my life to.
2. A deer, i guess a doe because it has no antlers and it has a little tail. It looks really calm until i walk up but then it looks terrified. Reminds me a little bit of bambi's mother.
3. It runs like mad as soon as it notices i'm there.
4. Its a medium sized house. Red brick, with a wooden roof and a little chimney on the side. a nice cozy little place just for me to be alone.
5. No. It makes it too hard to get in. i want my house to look inviting. I hate it when people look at you and walk away because they think you look weird or have heard things about you.
6. Theres lots of food but no one else around except for Jack. We look at the food and think to ourselves "how are we going to eat all of this?" theres just wooden table, no flowers, or tablecloth, the flowers get in the way and the tablecloth makes it harder to clean up when your done. just one more thing to do before i can go have fun.
7. Its a little blue coffee mug with a little muddy water in it.
8. I walk past it. It really isnt that important, its only one less coffee mug in the world who really cares. plus i dont want to get the mud on me.
9. Its a big glistening lake with ducks in it and frogs sitting on lillypads.
10. I dive in and swim across. holding my breath to make sure not to swallow any lake water. (i dont know whats in there) I try to do it quickly because it's cold and i dont want to waste any time getting to the other side to explore some more and see what else there is to see

4. Something big, I kinda pictured a plantation house, big wrap around porch.

6. Flowers, a big vase of flowers!
7. It's a coffee mug.
8. I pick it up so no one trips over it!
9. A babbling brook!
