What Color Do I Feel?

While desperately attempting to avoid doing any real work, I caught up on my pal Emily's blog, I stumbled upon her entry that had a personality profile quiz. I love quizzes because I want life to be as easy as "Do you like me? Check a box, yes or no."

This had a simple quiz - although "game" is probably a better word, but then that would imply some sort of skill. I digress. You're supposed to simply click the box of the color that you feel most "in harmony" with. You continue to click them until there are no more left. Then seconds later, you get a personality profile. Here's mine, I think it's actually kind of accurate.

Name: Leah
Date: 10/13/2009
Colorgenics Number: 15207634

You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.

You are a fighter and always on the defensive. You always need to be sure that your position is safe and established. When you finally make a decision you will pursue it to the bitter end in spite of all opposition.

There are times of everyone's life when 'compromise' is the name of the game and this is the time, so you have no alternative but to forgo some pleasures for the time being. You are capable of achieving satisfaction through physical activity.

All of the stress and strains resulting from disappointment have led to agitation and anxiety. You have been going out of your way to make a good impression, but you have reservations as to the likelihood of succeeding. You feel that you have a right to accomplish all that you set your mind on but you have become helpless and distressed when circumstances have gone against you. The idea of failure is most upsetting and this can even mean utter dejection. You see yourself as a scapegoat and you feel everyone in your sphere of influence has tried to take undue advantage of you. You are trying to convince yourself that your failure to achieve standing and recognition is not of your making but indeed of those around you.

Since in the recent past all of your hopes and aspirations have been denied you, you are now convinced that the future will hold nothing but anxiety so therefore 'why bother?' You would love to get away from it all, to escape from the trials and tribulations of this mundane existence and fall into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, which will protect you from the lack of appreciation and give you the chance to start afresh.

To Blog, Perchance to Dream

I fully admit that I have been neglecting my Blog. I apologize. It's just that writing and me have kind of an abusive relationship. He wants to, and I don't. It's as simple as that.

But today, I discovered that my friend Jen had a blog called "Live Yer Damn Life Already". From the title, you can tell that it's not your regular blog, but a blog encouraging people to write. Ultimately, it's to write a book, which I don't want to do, but it made me realize that there's a little tiny leprechaun in me that wants to write. Damn him/her.

I've been bogged down by thinking about content, length, contribution...but in this day and age, I have to realize that my blogs can be anything that's too long to fit on Twitter and Facebook, but as "important."

Please stay tuned.
