Quizz-a-riffic!

I just took the "Are You a Neurotic Nancy" quiz over at LifeScript. I love love love my results!

YOUR RESULT: Balanced Babe

Understanding when to let things go and when to take them seriously is one of your greatest attributes. You've got a great filter that allows you to check yourself when you are taking things too seriously, but also when you are taking them too lightly. This has probably helped you to be successful in life and relationships. You deserve it! Keep up the good work and maybe you can share some of your skill with those around you.

ON THE OTHER HAND...

My results to the Procrastination Quiz weren't quite so flattering...

You're A Procrastinator!

You will do anything to avoid an unpleasant task. You often wait until the last minute or "forget" to do something.

AND LASTLY...

I am NOT a cold hearted ice queen! Whew! I'm so relieved!

YOUR RESULT: Perfectly Balanced

You are rarely mean-spirited or selfish. Although you might occasionally seem insensitive, your basic nature is thoughtful and considerate. No one can accuse you of being a cold-hearted ice queen!

Newbie Schmoobie. Being new is no excuse to sit paralyzed staring at a blinking cursor all day. Not that I'm doing that. Instead, I've become addicted to Facebook. Surfing the internet is one of the ~~worst~~ ~~best~~ ~~worst~~ ~~best~~ most enabling things a world class procrastinator like me could ever have at her disposal - when procrastinating, of course - which is 99% of the time.

I love to write. Maybe I said that already. The problem is I don't always know what to write about. Or I think I know what to write about but I second guess myself. Or I talk to myself, like now, and thinking entirely too much about what you (the one looking at the screen) is going to think of me. I don't even know you. Right now there isn't a you. No one is reading this yet. What am I getting so stressed out about?

It's all because I want you to be there. I want you to read what I'm saying. I want you to want to come back. I want to be likable. I want to be interesting. That's the thing. I don't want to be boring. Or worthless. Or stupid. Silly is ok, but never stupid. I want you to like me. Really like me. :) (what would we do without Sally Field?)

So here I am forcing myself to do the very thing I love most to do. And someday someone will read it. And someday someone will come back. And read more. And more. And like me. And that someone will be you.

I wonder if Jen Lancaster ever felt this way.

Ceinna Saying #2 - It's ok to be yourself - no matter who that happens to be at any given moment.

Nothing at all like Simon Says. No following instructions. No touching your nose (or not) or taking two steps forward (or not) or standing on one foot (or not). Just reading, commenting, participating (as applies), returning, reading some more, commenting some more, participating some more are all you need. Some suggested items include bathrobe, fuzzy slippers, coffee, cranberry nut muffin, favorite tunes, and of course your gorgeous morning haired make-up-less self! How's that for a no requirements, stress-free way to start your day? Middle or end of the day is cool, too. Your computer is so flexible you would not believe!

Here's the thing. I'm a newbie. I'm a little nervous. I'm just trying to find my way. I need your help. Try to hang in there with me till I get my bearings, ok? Ceinna has loads to say - and she wants to say it to you.

Ceinna Saying #1 - Talking in the third person does not mean you're having an out of body experience.
