I’m back! Sort of. My body’s here. My mind, I’m not so sure.
Eldest Son is ensconced in his university of choice, and Youngest Son began (local) college today. Settling in E.S. required a trip out of town, but I’ve met two of his three roommates and ensured he has enough canned foods to see him through “learning to cook,” so I’m doing okay missing the little twerp. Keeping busy is the key. Today, I thoroughly cleaned the boys’ bathroom (I’m talking taking everything out, mopping everything down, scatter-painting—I believe the word for this activity is “touching up,” but it felt more like scatter-painting to me—the walls and baseboards, then moving everything back in). Now, only Y.S. is responsible for the state of the bathroom. Let’s see how that works out…
For your amusement, taken from Avery Beck’s blog:
What Your Name Says About You |
 Your name says that you are mostly: Inspiring but melodramatic Your name also says you are: Artistic but extreme
|
Hmmm. I love that “Cindy” is “inspiring,” but “melodramatic?” Give me a freaking break!!! Who the hell is this quiz to say I’m melodramatic???? I think I’ll go cry buckets.
“Artistic but extreme.” Okay, I know there’s such a thing as extreme sports, but…extreme artistry? At least it says I’m artistic, which is good, considering I’m a writer. I’ll try to look upon “extreme” as a compliment, too. “Extremely” entertaining. “Extreme,” mad writerly skills, yada.
“Unconventional but unstable.” Yes, I might fall off my chair any second. I admit I don’t have the greatest sense of balance, which undoubtedly accounts for the “unstable.”
“Shrewd but overbearing.” Another insult packed with a compliment. Well, some people don’t understand my sense of humor, so maybe I’m overbearing, but it’s not my fault. I didn’t name me Cindy.
Just for fun, I then typed in my pen name:
What Your Name Says About You |
Your name says that you are mostly: Intuitive but high strung Your name also says you are: Ambitious but stubborn
|
Interesting, my pen name shares the exact same characteristics as Avery’s name…
Taking the whole experiment one step further, I typed in my pen name’s blog nickname (“Penny” for the uneducated). That results in :
What Your Name Says About You |
Your name says that you are mostly: Commanding but aloof Your name also says you are: Passionate but flighty
|
Wow. “Cindy” and “Penny” are both “unconventional but unstable,” while “Penny” and my actual pen name are both “passionate but flighty.” I think it’s safe to say we can determine I am:
Unconventional
Unstable
Passionate
Flighty
If that’s not a creative personality, what is?
How do you fare on this quiz? Take it…if you dare.
Er, I think you have too much time on your hands…
Nah, you wouldn’t believe how many of those quizzes I took before I found one worth posting. 😉 What are blogthings if not time-wasters?
LOL, Lexi, if you saw my To-Do list, you wouldn’t say that. I don’t have enough time on my hands, therefore I need breaks – that’s what blogthings and blogs are for. I don’t even want to look at the home improvement projects list for this weekend. Yikes.
Hi Avery. Yesterday was rough. I’m really missing my son. Hopefully the H.I. projects and helping Y.S. get his truck fixed yet again will help fill the hole in my heart. Sigh… Hug your kids.
Aw, I’m sorry. Here I am just hoping my kids won’t be wetting the bed by the time they go to college…I’ll try to appreciate their youth!
I’m:
Your name says that you are mostly:
Unconventional but unstable
Your name also says you are:
Ambitious but stubborn
Dynamic but aggressive
Thoughtful but slow
The last one cracks. me. up. I think I’m neither. LOL!
These are my results:
Your name says that you are mostly:
Dynamic but aggressive
Your name also says you are:
Passionate but flighty
Fiery but unbalanced
Charismatic but impulsive
I’m fairly certain Sean would agree *g*
Natalie, yay! We’re both unconventional but unstable, LOL. I wonder if it’s a Capricorn thing?
“Thoughtful but slow” would describe me. I tend to think about my writing a lot, which is why I’m slow at it…
Avery, thanks for the commiseration. I’m sure this hollow feeling will dissipate any century now. It doesn’t help that I’m in a state of transition with the WIP.
Teresa,
We must be on here at the same time. Your comment just appeared!
I love the “fiery but unbalanced” and “charismatic but impulsive.” Sounds like an Aries. 😉 Not that I’m married to an Aries or anything…
Hmmm, I’m going to type in his name and see what it says…
LOL, I’m back! This is my dh’s description:
Your name says that you are mostly:
Charismatic but impulsive
(Didn’t I say that sounded like an Aries?)
Your name also says you are:
Dynamic but aggressive
Passionate but flighty
Insightful but biased
I wouldn’t call him flighty but “dynamic but aggressive” also super-describes him. I don’t know that he’s biased either. Biased about what? That I’m the love of his life? Well, of course he’s biased about that!
