What Color Car Should You Drive?

Though I don’t currently own a car, I really like driving. I can remember every car I’ve ever owned, some with more affection than others, and when I’m thinking up a new character I usually know what sort of car they would drive even if their car never appears in the story. So when I saw this Blogthings test, how could I resist?


You Should Drive a Pink Car


You’re the type of driver who really loves your car.
You can make a car last for ages - or take good care of a vintage ride.
You’re independent, creative, and very expressive.
You consider your car a part of you … and you want to make it as funky as possible.

Go on, take the test. But don’t blame me if you kill an hour or two at Blogthings…it’s addictive…

Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow when Blair Bancroft will be my featured author. She’s got a blurb for her September release Steeplechase and also lots of great tips for all the aspiring writers out there.

What Kind of Soul are You?

When you are too brain-dead to write, blogthings is just the ticket:

You Are an Old Soul

You are an experienced soul who appreciates tradition.
Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone.
Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient.
A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people.You hate injustice, and you’re very protective of family and friends
A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others.
Extremely independent you don’t mind living or being alone.
But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away.

Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul and Visionary Soul

Luck and Power

I spent the morning at Blogthings when I should have been working - sue me. It didn’t seem worthwhile getting too carried away writing when I was going to have to quit early and go to a performance at my son’s preschool (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it!) Besides, I love taking quizzes and blogthings is addictive. Since I didn’t do anything truly productive the least I can do it share my test results with you. It’s kind of strange how accurate these things can be:

You Are Internal - Realist - Powerful

You feel your life is controlled internally.
If you want something, you make it happen.
You don’t wait around for things to go your way.
You value your independence and don’t like others to have control.You are a realist when it comes to luck.
You don’t attribute everything to luck, but you do know some things are random.
You don’t beat yourself up when bad things happen to you…
But you do your best to try to make your own luck.

When it comes to who’s in charge, it’s you.
Life is a kingdom, and you’re the grand ruler.
You don’t care much about what others think.
But they better care what you think!
