Poor Seth. There will be other questions, don't worry. Gah. Now I have to go and freaking type up all the analysis.

[Lucky]

I type slow. This all you're getting right now.

Results. Let me know how close these things are.

1.

A: Wanting to get out of the picnic is consistent with a character who is part of an extended family with real tensions present and who ahs decided that avoidance is the better part of valor.
B: Hoping that a certain family member isn’t in attendance directs us to a specific dynamic between your character and another family member and sets the stage for an explosive or muted picnic conflict.
C: Looking forward to seeing a certain family member is consistent with a character who ahs the capacity to feel love and affection and who is most likely in a successful long term relationship.
D: Feeling unaccountably depressed alerts us to the possibility that your character sees him/herself as an outsider even in his/her own family.
E: Calling a family member to get eh latest gossip brings to mind a chatty, enmeshed family where everybody knows--and is into-- everybody else’s business.

2.

A: In many rule-bound families, it is the custom to put on a display of love and good cheer with the family matriarch, so such a display suggests a hidden nest of family rules and secrets.
B: Genuine love and enthusiasm are consistent with a strong, mentally healthy character who has received love in childhood.
C: Greeting his/her mother coolly suggests a significant level of hostility and unexpressed issues between mother and child.
D: Greeting mother carefully is consistent with a defensive posture caused by receiving regular and repeated criticism and insults.
E: Greeting his/her mother perfunctorily is constant with a distant relationship characterized by lack of interest as much as lack of love.
