So I took this little questionnaire online where you enter your birthday and it tells you all about yourself. Sorry no photo with this one, but I thought it was keen:
You are a spiritual soul - a person who tries to find meaning in everything.
(I analyzed this statement thoroughly, and yep! I agree.)
You spend a good amount of time meditating, trying to figure out life.
(This is exactly right. But I’ve also learned to multi-task, so I can do this while having a conversation, working, or driving, which may be more dangerous than talking on a cell phone and driving.)
Helping others is also important to you. You enjoy social activities with that goal.
(This is true. I used to want to personally contribute something amazing to the world. Perhaps those idealistic goals have been clothes-lined by personal disappointment, bureaucracy, and my own stupidity, but I think this is still my primary goal in life. I guess I’m still just trying to figure out how and where…)
You are very generous and giving. Yet you expect very little in return.
(This is totally true. I don’t receive compliments very well, but I sure do try to make mine sincere. When I meet somebody that I particularly love for no real reason, I give them the heart off my sleeve so they can blow their nose. Unfortunately, I probably blow my nose on a lot more heart-sleeves because I don’t expect the shirt off someone’s back. I just have a runny nose.)
Your strength: Getting along with anyone and everyone
(Wow, right on! I’ve always been a people pleaser, rooting for the underdog, contributing to classes meaningfully as a mix of the teachers pet and the class clown, dancing with all the girls who dance and chilling with the wallflowers, a true social butterfly, flitting from flower to flower, and trying to figure out Humpty Dumpty with all the King’s horses and all the King’s men. Still figuring. As I get older I find that I’m more interested in getting along with my peers than my superiors, but more and more superiors are my peers, so that’s a good thing, right?)
Your weakness: Needing a good amount of downtime to recharge
(This is one of my weaknesses, especially when I’m burned out, but I never really recharge. I end up filling that downtime with more important things, like music, ideas, people, and sleep. I could add a whole list of other weaknesses to this one, but I think I need some downtime first. Smirk)
Your power color: Cobalt blue
(Whoa, really close. I looked up Cobalt, and its not far from Royal blue or true blue, the best color for blue jeans. Cobalt is a little more subdued, which sounds cool, so whatever.)
Your power symbol: Dove
(So the symbol of peace is my power symbol? Hmmm. I can accept the symbol of the Holy Ghost as my power symbol. I’ve always particularly loved Him. He’s given me a ton of insights and really made life worth living. Of course when I think of a dove, I also think of it as Noah’s guinea pig, the first one, that he threw overboard to see if there was any dry land. It never came back. Gulp!)
Your power month: September
(Yesssss! September is just a month away! I think this is probably right. Allergy season ends then. That’s also the month that school (and thus social life) used to start. My mom says that I tend to get moodier and more obnoxious in March, which is the opposite of September. Plus there are a few fairly peppy songs about September, like the one on “Dan in Real Life.”)
