Thirteen things about me

1
Today is my birthday. For my birthday T13 I will share with you 12 blog things about me.

2


You Are 83% American


You’re as American as red meat and shooting ranges.
Tough and independent, you think big.
You love everything about the US, wrong or right.
And anyone who criticizes your home better not do it in front of you!

Long test, didn’t like this one. I think I’m pretty much American through and through. I do disagree with the “wrong or right” part.

3


Your Summer Ride is a Beetle Convertible


Fun, funky, and a little bit euro.
You love your summers to be full of style and sun!

I LOVE IT!

4


Your Ideal Pet is a Cat


You’re both aloof, introverted, and moody.
And your friends secretly wish that you were declawed!

A CAT! uh…no. A dog maybe, not a cat. Cats hate me. I don’t particularly care for them either. A dog, now there’s a pet.

5


You are a Black Coffee


At your best, you are: low maintenance, friendly, and adaptable

At your worst, you are: cheap and angsty

You drink coffee when: you can get your hands on it

Your caffeine addiction level: high

Not a black coffee. I don’t like black coffee. I do agree with the addiction level though.

6


You Are 64% Happy


You are a very happy person. Generally, you feel content and that all is right with the world.
Occasionally, you have a down day – but you have the ability to pick yourself right back up.

Only 64%? Wow. With the description you would think it was a little higher.

7


Your Stress Level is: 62%


You are prone to stress, and you’re probably even pretty stressed right now.
Life’s problems seem to pile up on you, and this often makes you feel depressed and burned out.
Learn to take time to relax and enjoy life, even if things are stressful. It’s the only wa you’ll get through the bad times.

It’s been higher so 62% isn’t so bad. Not too stressed at this time. OK, if you read the previous post you know I’m lying. Well, no. That wasn’t stress, it was frustration.

8


You Are a Mai Tai


You aren’t a big drinker, but you’ll drink if the atmosphere is festive.
And when you’re drunk, watch out! You’re easily carried away.

At least it’s a drink I like…

9



Your Linguistic Profile:

55% General American English
35% Dixie
5% Yankee
0% Midwestern
0% Upper Midwestern

Hey now, ok, guess it isn’t so bad that I don’t speak too southern. But glad it at least shows up on my speech scale. Favorite quiz so far.

10


Your Hidden Talent


Your natural talent is interpersonal relations and dealing with people.
You communicate well and are able to bring disparate groups together.
Your calming presence helps everything go more smoothly.
People crave your praise and complements.

mmmmm, really?

11


You Are 28% Girly


You are a pretty hardcore tomboy, and a very free spirit.
Gender roles be dammed, you like to do things your way.

’bout right. Not a girly girl.

12


You Were a Cat


You are an independent person who inspires others with your dreams.
A calm protector, you will fight when you need to.

Again with the cat! No way was I a cat.

13


Your Birthdate: June 22


You tend to be understated and under appreciated.
You have a hidden force to do amazing things, doing them your own way.
People may see you as strange and shy, but they know little.
Your unconventional ways have more power than they (and even you) know.

Your strength: Standing up for what you know is true

Your weakness: You tend to be picky and rigid

Your power color: Silver

Your power symbol: Square

Your power month: April

I kinda like this one too.

    That’s too funny – you are 2% happier than you are stressed. Use it in good health!

  • Christina says:

    Happy Birthday! I love your concept this week. BlogThings can be quite addictive. I do enjoy them, especially on the days when I don’t have much work to do and I’m really REALLY bored.

    My list is up :)

  • Christina says:

    Oh, and your header graphic made me crave coffee like crazy, even though I don’t usually drink the stuff. Great design!

  • Chris says:

    Happy BDAY! Whoop Whoop! Like your site a lot os well.

  • colleen says:

    It’s janet form Fond of Snape’s birthday too! Are you a gemini or a cancer. Seems on the cusp. Have you ever checked out the enneagram… 1 9 personality type thing…better than astrology I thought. Well, I’ve taken just one of these. I want to check out the last one now.

  • GreekGoddess says:

    Happy happy BIRTHDAY :)

  • Lisa says:

    hahah “again with the cat” cracked me up! What a great idea for a 13! I love it. Sometimes those goofy tests are right on and sometimes they are really so far off!

    Love the blog – gonna check it out! Thanks for stopping by my 13!

  • kontan says:

    hi all and thanks for the happy’s! colleen, I was just visiting Janet and wow what a great list! I’ll make rounds to blogspots and anything else with blog in the title when I get home this afternoon…they’re blocked to me now :(

  • Mandy says:

    First of all Happy Birthday. I joined in your quiz’s too.. and here are a few of my results.

    Ideal pet – A big dog
    You’re both energetic, affectionate, and a bit goofy.
    And neither of you seem to mind very slobbery kisses!

    My hidden talent -
    You are a great communicator. You have a real way with words. You’re never at a loss to explain what you mean or how you feel. People find it easy to empathize with you, no matter what your situation. When you’re up, you make everyone happy. But when you’re down, everyone suffers.

    What my birthdate means
    You have an extraordinary character – moral, responsible, and disciplined. Your sincerely and honesty shine through in almost every situation. Driven and focused, you rarely let your emotions get the better of you. You’re level headed and rational. People count on your to look at things objectively.

    Your strength: Your unwavering loyalty and ethics

    Your weakness: Your rock solid stubbornness

    Your power color: Navy blue

    Your power symbol: Shield

    Your power month: April

    (I don’t agree with the pet, a big dog is the last thing I want LOL)
