“If you can’t say something good about someone, come sit next to me.”

‘Tis the season of… meeting and socializing with lots of different, unique people.
So we’re sitting at home discussing where we’ve been and Zen-Den, who is not at all fluent in archetypes because he did not major in English in college, asks me: What’s up with X?
I explain to him that she considers herself to be a Possibilitarian. That it’s an archetype.
And he counters with: that’s the most ridiculous term I’ve ever heard– you mean, someone who doesn’t actually do anything, just talks about what is possible?
I tell him that’s the gist of it– someone who focuses on aspirations. Who thinks and talks about what might be.
A dreamer with a fancy vocabulary.
He nods in amazement.
Then Z-D, who doesn’t usually drink very much, asks me: Do you suppose if I drank more alcoholic beverages more often I could call myself a Chillaxatarian?
I tell him that I’d refer to him as such. And that he could definitely get X to refer to him as such. And that by doing this he’d have his own, very special, archetype.
A goofball with a bottle of beer.
He nods his approval and then wanders off to the frig to get something more to drink.
And so, with that, a new archetype was born. One that encompasses all that is relaxed and beer related. One that you know is bound to be popular.

Hallelujah and pass the brewskis, there’s a Chillaxatarian in our midst!
Hmm. I know a few of those. 🙂

I think I will aspire to become a Chillaxatarian. Only not with beer. Chocolate might be a nice substitute.

Melisa, I think that we all know a few of both of these kinds of archetypes!
Zazzy, I think you should call yourself a Chocolatarian. I know lots of other people who could fit into that archetype.

I know many chillaxtarians; I would like to become one myself. Alas, I am too Type A to ever chillax.

Margaret, I think that you’re quite right about your inability to be a Chillaxatarian. Type B-ness is a definite pre-requisite– although you have the beer loving part of it nailed!
