Haven’t been to Blogthings in a while, but how could I resist this one?

You Are Humor

You love to laugh at life, and if possible, get others to laugh along with you. You believe there’s always a humorous side to everything. And your sense of humor ranges from upbeat to very dark. You are outrageous and very honest. You’re often the only one willing to say what everyone else is thinking. You are witty and verbally talented. You like to play with words and say things in interesting ways.

Geez, does this fit in with my weekend post or what?

You Are a Doer

You are primarily concerned with what is actual. You tend to be a practical person. You love to stay busy, and you are always immersed in projects. You are in touch with your senses, and you enjoy indulging them. You’re likely a crafter of some sort. You crave different sensations in life, whether it’s working with your hands, playing sports, or eating your favorite meal.

Oddly enough, I just started taking a pottery class!

You Are Ceramics

You are open to the world and it’s possibilities. You are able to start something without knowing how it will end. You trust your intuition above everything else. Going with your gut often works out. You believe that every day objects can and should be art. The best art allows ordinary life to be more stylish and beautiful.

I didn’t need to take a test to know this answer…

You Are Tea

You are mellow and reflective. You don’t allow yourself to feel in a rush and frenzied. You’re likely to appreciated the ideas or connections that come up over a warm cup of tea. While you do enjoy the energy of a caffeine boost, you love that it allows you to take a break. You’re not in a rush to do anything. You’re content with your life, and in no rush to change it.

You Are Factual

You are highly intelligent, especially in areas that deal with concrete knowledge and facts. You are amazingly analytical. You can make sense of chaos without involving your emotions. If anything, you tend to be overly logical. It’s sometimes hard for you to come to a decision, because you’re too busy weighing all the options. People turn to you in times of trouble. They know that they can trust you to give good, well thought out advice.

I have always been interested in psychology and trying to figure out what makes people tick. It’s one of the reasons I love to take those goofy personality tests on Blogthings (that,and because they’re fun!) So even though I’m married, I still enjoy reading articles that have to do with dating and relationships. Anything that gives me insight into the male psyche is a good thing.

I read a couple of articles this morning that appealed to the writer in me. One of the cardinal rules of writing is “show don’t tell”. Rather than writing “Raoul found Maria very attractive” try “Raoul felt his heartbeat quicken as he gazed at Maria’s lovely face.” (Poor examples, but you get the idea.) How better to do that within the pages of a story than by using body language? What does it mean when he kisses you on the cheek when saying goodbye? Does he pull his ear or rub his nose when he’s telling you where he was last night? (If so, watch out!)

I used a horoscope profile when I created the character of Ben in ONE CRAZY SUMMER – he was a Scorpio through and through. But there are other ways to convey the sort of character you are dealing with. I thought the observations contained in this article would be another great way to think about creating well rounded characters, both male and female.

Finally, scientists and dairy farmers in the UK have found that cows with names produce more milk. Seems that they prefer a little personal attention. Why should this be such a surprise? Don’t all living things thrive with a bit of TLC?

Only those who know me best can judge whether this test result is accurate, but husband laughed – hard – when he saw my results. Even I found them just a bit eerie. All this from my bellybutton?

Go ahead and take the test – I dare you!

You Are Puzzled Over

You are quirky, complicated, and brilliant. You tend to feel a bit misunderstood by everyone, and that troubles you. It’s likely that you will have two or three children. You can conceive pretty easily. You are not easily moved. You are very stoic and not thought of as an emotional person. You are very detail oriented and tidy. Some may even call you obsessive. You are a dreamer who always explores possibilities. Even if you would never do something, you like to fantasize about it.

It’s been a while since I’ve visited Blogthings. This test result is interesting, but now (freak that I am), I feel pressure! Obviously I have no one to blame but myself if I fail to succeed in my life…though I suppose that could be said of anyone!

Your Spiritual Number is One

You bring a strong, positive energy into other people’s lives. Your intentions are pure, and because of this, you are powerful when you act. Right now, your life is both about new beginnings and closure. It’s not an understatement to say that your whole world is changing. No matter what comes to pass, you are ready to tackle it. You have the ambition and drive to have your life turn out the way you want it to.
