"Blogthings" Chimes In

From games played at Blogthings:

You Are An ISFJ - The Nurturer
You have a strong need to belong, and you very loyal.A good listener, you excell at helping others in practical ways.In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.


In other news: I am also, apparently, a VW Bug Convertible. Which, okay. Maybe for a day.


Your Element Is Water
A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. (Which, in my case, usually results in overwhelming bouts of sarcasm.) That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep.Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily.You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others.You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves.You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.




None of which I'll disagree with, but what the hell is an ISFJ?

A little about me...

I’m organized to a fault
And frankly, I’d like the rest of the world to be organized in exactly my way. :-P

I’m the most subtle control freak you’ll ever meet
But will avoid confrontations at all costs.

I am spiritual
But not particularly religious.

I think there are many paths to one God
And if everyone practiced the truest tenants at the heart of their religion, the world would be a much kinder place.

I grew up at the shore.
I still love to hear the ice cream truck bells ringing down the beach.

I live in the mountains.

wife
daughter
granddaughter
sister
aunt
godmother
