What Type of Book Are You?

The results of this quiz made me laugh, especially since memoirs are some of my favorite reads.

You have your own quirky ideas about the world. You see so much light and promise.

You have no patience for small talk or niceties. You want to have conversations of substance.

You are an amazing storyteller. You always have a new story to relate, and your friends love to listen to you.

Water

It's been a while since I've posted one of these quizzes, but this one actually described me fairly accurately in some ways, and made me smile, so I thought I'd share it!  I suppose in some ways these are the darker, moodier elements of my personality, but to some extent they are very true of me.


Your Dark Element is Water






You are a peaceful and solitary person. You truly enjoy spending time alone.

You take time for reflection and contemplation. You savor philosophical introspection.

You have a private side to you, and you don't let others in easily.

You can be stoic and overly serious. You're not the type of person who wants to lighten up.

What Flavor of Gum?

It's been a while since I posted a quiz here, and this one made me chuckle, and was fairly accurate.  (I do actually chew gum, though I tend to stick to peppermint over fruit flavors.)  Leave your results in the comments!


You Are Fruit Flavored Gum





You are quirky and independent. You don't tend to follow any one style or rule book.

You are a mix and match type of person, and you draw inspiration from many sources.

While you're definitely a bit unusual, you get along well with other people.

You're eager to welcome anyone into your world. You are not judgmental at all.

You form close bonds with your friends, and your relationships tend to be very secure.

You hold firm to your beliefs and values, and you don't let anyone talk you into compromising them.

The House Oracle

It's been a while since I posted any quiz results, and these made me smile, even if they really weren't all that accurate.  I'm definitely primarily an introvert, but some of the other things are very true of me.


You Are Both an Introvert and an Extrovert





You are a mysterious person. Even your closest friends may feel like they don't know you very well.

You like to weigh all of your options before making a decision. You are apt to look for a compromise.

You are responsible and determined to do the right thing. There is often a lot on your plate, but you handle it all well.

You rely on yourself first and foremost. You know that you won't ever let yourself down.

What about rain?

This quiz made me chuckle.  Some of it is true of me, some of it isn't.  I don't handle grey rainy days really well, but I do enjoy the quiet of them.


Rain Makes You Happy





You tend to move slowly, but you still get a lot done. You are steady.

You tend to have your head in the clouds. You are a bit absent minded, and you're often lost in your thoughts.

You are naturally content and happy. You can adapt to your environment easily.

You prefer to be around people who are familiar and trusted. Your best friends are your oldest friends.

You find peace when you are able to slow down. When you can just be, your life clarifies itself.

What sort of tree?

This one made me chuckle when I did it late last week.  The friend I was visiting insisted that my results (for reasons she found immesurably funny) really should have been a palm tree,  but the results I got did make me smile.  In this case, though I don't think all of the things are true of me, those that aren't true are certainly characteristics I find desireable, and ones I seek to have.

You Are an Autumn Tree




You are contemplative and deep. You enjoy observing the world around you.

You know that change is inevitable, and you try to roll with whatever life brings.

You can see the extraordinary in the ordinary. You are easily inspired.

You try to remain balanced and steady in the face of upheaval.

You Are Green




You are laid back and quite patient. You are naturally very calm.

You are an understanding person, and you believe in forgiving easily. You prefer to keep the peace.

You get annoyed by pushy or aggressive people. You don't like anyone trying to dominate you.

You always have time for someone genuine and friendly. You see out similarly mild mannered folks.

Spicy?

This quiz made me laugh pretty hard.  I'd say the description is possibly quite accurate, but, I have to tell you, I HATE cilantro!

You Are Cilantro





The bad news is that there are some people who can't stand you.

The good news is that most people love you more than anything else in the world.

You are distinct, unusual, fresh, and very controversial. And you wouldn't have it any other way.

Well-Rounded?

To be honest, these results are only kind of "me".  But, I couldn't resist a shell quiz, and I picked my favorite, and these are the results.


You Are Well Rounded




It's hard for you to stay focused in your life. There's just so much to be excited about.

You never get too obsessed with anything. You just don't have it in you to be a workaholic.

You don't seek balance - balance just seems to find you. You can let go and relax.

Normal life is pretty amazing to you. You are content with where you are.

Just Because

Life remains a little crazy, and my brain is definitely on overload as I work to absorb the necessary material for this week's quiz, assignment and exam.  So, because I have no brain power left to write a blog post, for today, just because it amused me, I'm sharing another quiz.

You Are a Geek




You definitely have some nerdy ways, but you've evolved into something way cooler - a geek.

You are free spirited and quirky. You're proud of who you are, and you've got style.

You may not fit in completely, but you don't have any problems socializing.

You're witty, smart, and very knowledgable. You believe that everyone should embrace their inner geek!

Complicated

Apparently my fruit smoothie says I'm complicated!  The results of this one made me chuckle, especially since these days I start most days with a fruit smoothie.


You Are Complicated




You have many sides to your personality. You aren't exactly the easiest person to figure out.

You are quirky and apt to contradict yourself. You are constantly evolving and changing.

You appreciate novelty and uniqueness. Most of your favorite things are acquired tastes.

Pacifist

I did another quiz recently.  Apparently my coffee shop food and beverage choices indicate that I'm a pacifist.  The results made me chuckle, and I thought I'd share.  Let me know what your results are!

You Are a Pacifist




You seek peace in all aspects of your life. You get stressed out easily and have to avoid noise of all sorts.

People envy your style and grace. They don't see all the hard work behind what you do.

Beautiful Waves

It's been a while since I posted one of these quizzes here, but this one was somewhat irresistible.  A dear friend and I have been talking about waves literally and metaphorically for at least two years now.  It's one of our favorite symbols, or at least one of the ones most talked about between us.  When I saw a quiz titled "What kind of waves do you make?" pop up this morning, I had to take it, and the results made me smile and maybe even giggle a little.


You Make Beautiful Waves




Life would be boring if you just sat back and watched it unfold.

You like to make things happen, but in a very ordered and interesting way.

You don't really like chaos. You tend to plan throughly and execute your plans well.

You are very creative, eloquent, and expressive. You know how to accomplish great things, even if you're just playing around.

Blessed

I took the "Poppy Test" this morning, and these were the results, which made me smile.  I'm not totally sure I am that person.  But in some ways (except maybe for being my own best teacher - I rather prefer feedback from others) this is the sort of person I'm aiming to be.  More happy, more thankful, more aware that I really am blessed.

You Are Blessed




You are a naturally grateful person. You believe it's important to be thankful for whatever you have.

You've gained the most by traveling down your own path in life. You are a naturally spiritual person.

You are your own best teacher. You try to figure out what you need and then give it to yourself.

On a good day, you really shine. Luckily, most of your days are good days.

How Adventurous?

I actually thought the results of this one were semi-accurate to me.  I like to have adventures.  I just prefer that they're somewhat planned and not going on all the time!


You Are Adventurous




You are quite adventurous and brave, but you are also reasonable about it. You don't have to be on an adventure 24/7.

You have good judgment and balance. You like to try new and exciting things, but you also pay attention to risk.

You're not the type of person who would throw your life away just to go on a new trip or have a new romantic partner.

You like your thrills in small, safe doses. You are gutsy in all aspects of your life from career to relationships.

What Color House?

I love green, and many of those things are true about me, or about the sort of place I dream of living in.


You Should Live in a Green House




You are a peaceful person who always seeks out quiet and solitude.

You love nothing better than a long walk, and you probably prefer to live near nature.

You are a good listener, but you always need down time to recharge after being around others.

You usually fit in anywhere. You blend well, and you're happy to sit back and observe.

What Kind of Berry Are You?

A Sunday morning quiz!  Actually, I've never even tasted this particular berry, though I've heard of it, but parts of the description are very true of me!


You Are a Açaí Berry




On the one hand, you tend to be very controversial. People are always talking about you and trying to figure you out.

On the other hand, you are quite wholesome and humble. You don't know what all of the fuss is about.

You are unsettled in your life. You're not sure what you want yet, and you're a bit of a searcher.

If there's one thing you know, it's that you crave adventure and travels. You want to see as much of the world as you can.

What Kind of Jeans are You?

I thought that this one was funny.  And, my current definition of the perfect jean cut is Gap's Curvy Flare.


You Are Flares




You are a true free spirit, and you enjoy playing with fashion. Your look tends to be eclectic.

You tend to be a bit rebellious. You're more likely to dress for yourself than dress for the occasion.

You are both peaceful and jovial. There is a happy calm that surrounds everything you do.

You are broad minded, well read, and well traveled. You are open to anything that comes your way.

What Kind of Garden...

Life remains crazy busy.  Work and home.  I'm hoping to write a "real" post later today.  In the meantime, this morning I took the "What kind of garden are you?" quiz and the results were sort of accurate and made me chuckle.


You Are a Formal French Garden




You are formal, traditional, and probably quite upper class. You resist change unless it's absolutely necessary.

You prefer quality over quantity in your life - whether it's people or possessions. You have a low tolerance for junk.

You are detail oriented and a bit of a perfectionist. You enjoy planning and getting everything in order.

You are neat and clean. You take good care of what you own - you are big on maintenance.
