Weird…But In A Good Way

As I discussed earlier I am a sucker for social networking, I love all things myspace and facebook. What I forgo mentioning was my addiction doesn’t end there I am also a sucker for those myspace bulletins “50 questions about me” “20 questions about your number one” or “Coke vs Pepsi” and those Facebook applications that predict your compatibility with your mother’s best friend’s cousin, and whether you’ll end up married to a guy with long/short/blonde/brunette hair!

Today I added an application that was supposed to tell me my personality type and the only reason I’ve decided to draw it to your attention is that for the first time ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER it actually gave an answer that could actually be me! Well all apart from being refereed to as “He” and “Him”

It appears I am a “Spontaneous Idealist”and here is what the results showed…

The spontaneous idealist is a creative, lively and open-minded person. He is humorous and disposes of a contagious zest for life. His enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. He enjoys being together with other people and often has an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. The spontaneous idealist is a master of communication and a very amusing and gifted entertainer. Fun and variety are guaranteed when he is around. However, he is sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to his direct and sometimes critical nature.

This personality type is a keen and alert observer; he misses nothing which is going on around him. In extreme cases, he tends to be oversensitive and exaggeratedly alert and is inwardly always ready to jump. Life for him is an exciting drama full of emotionality. However, he quickly becomes bored when things repeat themselves and too much detailed work and care is required. His creativity, his imaginativeness and his originality become most noticeable when developing new projects and ideas – he then leaves the meticulous implementation of the whole to others. On the whole, the spontaneous idealist attaches great value to his inner and outward independence and does not like accepting a subordinate role. He therefore has problems with hierarchies and authorities.

If you have a spontaneous idealist as your friend, you will never be bored; with him, you can enjoy life to the full and celebrate the best parties. At the same time, he is warm, sensitive, attentive and always willing to help. If the spontaneous idealist has just fallen in love, the sky is full of violins and his new partner is showered with attention and affection. This type then bubbles over with charm, tenderness and imagination. But, unfortunately, it soon becomes boring for him once the novelty has worn off. Boring everyday life in a partnership is not for him so that many spontaneous idealists slip from one affair into another. However, should the partner manage to keep his curiosity alive and not let routine and familiarity gain the upper hand, the spontaneous idealist can be an inspiring and loving partner.

So to summarise I’m loud, obnoxious, nosy, insensitive, OVER sensitive, bossy, never finish anything I’ve started, I hate authority BUT great when I’m in love (and not bored).

Sounds about right to me!

Today I was going to…

Go for a walk with my camera, tidy the living room, make a list of D.I.Y tasks for the house, make an appointment at the hair dressers, sort out the blonde kids room (and oh my does it need sorting out), organise drinks with friends for tonight, invite other friends over for dinner next week, call my mom about our day trip Tuesday, think about buying another shelving unit for the front room (with a view for an excuse for a trip to Ikea) and bath the cat. Tackle the mountain of washing in the laundry basket and teh landslid of paper work on the desk.

Instead I slept in, When I finally rose  and looked out of the window I discovered it is raining,!

My sister called I’m going shopping instead!!

Where have the last few months gone?

Last time I looked it was Christmas and now it’s March and we’re at Easter and all tucking into hollow bunnies and freezing in the snow (Can somebody please tell the guys in charge it’s supposed to be spring that means flowers and sunshine PLEASE!)

However in saying that looking back I can see exactly where the time has gone. It has been a whirlwind of domesticated shenanigans, friends, school, birthdays, parties, deaf men, (well man – there was only one of them) weddings and all other kinds of things that have kept me from my blog, but when at home and I have the time, mainly I blame the internet for the passage of unproductive time whilst sitting at the computer.

The internet and it’s infinite number of distracting offerings that keep me away from my task in hand in this instance blogging – but trust me when I say the internet keeps me from all kinds of “other” things I should be doing, housework for instance (Sorry James I will sort out the wardrobe situation – eventually).

It is a sorry excuse I know, if I’m at the computer and I’ve had all this other stuff going on I should have ample material to blog about. Then when I’m here with facebook and myspace and flickr and moblog calling for my attention and with my new found addictions to poker or scramble or scrabulous and *add any other facebook application you can think of here, shouting for me to join in with the fun time just gets away from me. Before I know it, it is midnight and I realise I have to get up for work in the morning and really need to go to bed NOW before I start another round of any of the aforementioned and it will get to 4am and I will still be sitting here.

I realise I sound like and addict… My name is Steph and it has been 22minutes since I last signed into any of my social network sites, but honestly that is where I seem to spend most of my time right now. It’s a quick and easy to keep in touch with people I don’t see often and a convenient way to organise my social calender with those I do.

However I am working to redress the balance, hence me blogging right now. I thought of my poor neglected blog and all the interesting things I could have wrote about and felt a pang of guilt, which, after logging onto my dashboard, was compounded by the 4 comments awaiting moderation, that by WordPress’ records have been waiting since the beginning of February (sorry Tiff & SFG).

So I will blog again soon, I promise, I have the ideas and right now I have the time so I will make more of an effort but right now I have to check my email, then my facebook, Someone might of poked me or something and I’ll have missed it because I’ve been here writing this!
