That's almost *exactly* how I've described myself before - especially the last part!Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-75521142081486260502009-10-01T09:15:35.668-07:002009-10-01T09:15:35.668-07:00Hmmm...I think of myself as pleasant, but a realis...Hmmm...I think of myself as pleasant, but a realist. I expect the worst, plan for it, and then can be pleasnatly surprised when it turns out better than I thought it would. :)<br /><br />I'm fairly quiet in situations where I'm not familiar or comfortable, but I can talk a blue streak, I tend to go off on tangents and forget my original point, and I will hold my ground in a verbal argument until the other party throws up their hands and quits in frustration. Even when I'm wrong. :) I'll go back later and generously grant that upon reflection they may have a point, but I will *not* lose an argument. So...stubborn. :)<br /><br />I love food, which is clear. I'll try anything at least once and I have a chef-crush on Bobby Flay, which sort of goes without saying.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-42306790591347268152009-10-01T08:16:27.790-07:002009-10-01T08:16:27.790-07:00Hmmm...

But for real...Hmmm...<br /><br />I think I'm weird, lol!<br /><br />But for reals, I think I'm cheerful and open-minded...but I'm shy/quiet in person. I'll talk to anyone willing to initiate conversation but I have trouble doing the initiating myself. I'll also answer any question I'm asked as honestly as I can (if a piece of information is not mine to share, then I am less forthcoming). When I get flustered/upset, my speaking skills will DIE. It's always better to just hand me a pen and pad of paper when that happens.<br /><br />I'm passive-aggressive. I can't stand contention/hate/anger as it makes me feel ill. This has taught me that I can be quite stubborn as shouting, getting angry at me, and/or trying to forcefully convince me your way is better will not sway me in the least. I will continue to do as I see fit. In spite of that, I'm pretty easy going. I'm open to just about anything and will give pretty much anything at least a try; just don't try and force me 'cause you'll get nowhere. :)<br /><br />My sense of humor leans more towards dry/sarcastic - think M*A*S*H (the tv show) and Tim Burton. ^_^<br /><br />....hm, I said more than I thought I would. Ah well! ^_^ I like learning about people and their behavioral patterns and motivations, so I enjoy discussing various personalities. The differences are so interesting! ^_^Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579887153281905386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-86691280361313561052009-10-01T06:14:09.296-07:002009-10-01T06:14:09.296-07:00*blush* Sorry for the super-long comment.*blush* Sorry for the super-long comment.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-26037421232882018582009-10-01T06:13:31.166-07:002009-10-01T06:13:31.166-07:00I've not been reading here too long, but I'...I've not been reading here too long, but I've always thought you were pretty chipper. I doubt any of us would be joyful when we were discussed in a bad way so don't worry about that. I've not found you moody - just lookin' for a job! :) <br /><br />Personality-wise -- I have a melancholic, reflective streak, but generally I find I can still be hopeful and joyful in the Lord if not in most anything else. I sometimes struggle with wallowing in self-pity when I KNOW I should "in everything give thanks" and "rejoice in the Lord always." So, I think that means I have a stubborn streak. *ahem* I try to be friendly and I find foreigners or people from other parts of the nation especially exciting. Like you, I like to think I'm openminded and accepting of everyone though, at times, I find this is challenged. But generally I think God has really helped me in this regard. A few years ago I prayed that He'd help me love people and see them through His eyes and -- politicians & chauvinists/polygamists aside (lol) -- He has really done this for me. Not that I've "totally arrive" -- I still get very aggravated with people some days, but overall I find more compassion and understanding for people and even love that wasn't there as much before.<br /><br />I like food, too, but tend to mostly stick with favorites unless it smells especially good. And I don't usually try things unless I know there are no nuts lurking within. I have an allergy to some of them. When I was in Syria earlier this year, I had an allergic reaction to pistachios so I refrained from eating any more sweets the whole time I was there. Except for the Little Debbie oatmeal cookies, jelly beans and chocolate candies that *I* brought from home! :-)<br /><br />I enjoyed learning more about you! And that book really does sound interesting. I can totally see people becoming addicted that way. Making it much more about following rules to "get it right" than focusing on relationship with God.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-8491025386283708952009-10-01T05:16:20.967-07:002009-10-01T05:16:20.967-07:00Don't worry, it happens to everyone.

Sometimes it's like a major obsession. Not practising, but just thinking about religion. :) I can obsess about a lot of things...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320601087412404116noreply@blogger.com
