Yes, wings do have a strong influence, wether it is conscious or "in the shadow"! Artistic expression has helped me heal a serious depression (and deep autistic tendancies) some years ago. I did a lot of photography, some drawing and painting and have writen a number of poems which all have a fourish tone, but with a typical five touch of detachement and humor within the dramatic... The four touch also comes out in the way I cook, I like a give a special touch when I cook for people I like and in my taste for good craftship. In terms of music, my preferences have drifted away from the more dramatic yet very structured (Schubert) to real spacy or intimate music (Bach, mostly his more intimate works like the fugues, classic persian oud, suffi songs, tibetan harmonic songs, etc...). In terms of movies, I am such a deeply rooted european! Will any one of you know who are Antonioni, Ozu, Misogushi, Eric Rohmer, Tarkowsky, Alain Tanner, Alain Resnay (another five), Jean-Luc Godard (sure a five), Robert Bresson, Günner, etc... Among american underground movie makers, I really like John Cassavetes : Since I'm an "OR/SA" (i.e., employed in operations research/systems analysis) and since I enjoy my work, I'm definitely a Five.
: But I consider myself a romantic/artistic Five. Though I only dance as an avocation, I've been taken for a professional dancer when I perform for an audience (especially when I do my imitation of Michael Jackson). : And, currently, I'm taking voice lessons with an eye toward performing at karaoke clubs. I enjoy romantic Sinatra tunes, so I focus on those during my lessons. Since there are Star Trek fans here on the board, I think I'll also mention that I adore the new James Darren CD, where Darren sings the same genre of tunes that his character, "Vic Fontaine," sang when Deep Space 9 was being aired on TV. In fact, that's the CD I keep in my car so that I can sing along as I'm driving. : Finally, I have to say that my favorite TV movie of all time is "The Thorn Birds" with Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward. Obviously, my instinctual subtype is relationship-oriented... or should I say "soulmate-oriented."
