I was tagged by bloogers extraordinaire- Bob at I Should Be Laughing & the lovely & charming MRPENEE with this distinctive award & challenging meme. The instructions are to list 7 of your personality traits as evidenced by your blog & then pass it on to 7 other bloggers of note. Well, my life is an open book, so:
1. I am a control freak: alphabetized & categorized books & CDs, color coded closet (darks to lights- solids to patterns), house swept, dusted & put in order on a daily basis, order-order-order! I love to make lists.
2. I am a worrier, my very least attractive trait. The Husband's psychic, knowing nothing about me, announced to him that being a worrier would be my undoing. I invent scenarios that have not happened & may not happen. I worry about the state of the planet, the possibility of the end of the world as we know it; I worry about money & my job & the Husband's job, I worry about the health of the Husband & the canines...to say nothing about being freaked out by every little cough. I worry about conservative right wing religious extremists & the possibility that they may get their way. I worry about who will get Oscar nominations. I worry that readers will give up on my blog. I worry that I worry too much.
3. I am generous: I freely & easily take care of my family & friends with time, energy & money. I give away books, clothing & furniture. I have been known to hand off an item of clothing when someone comments on how much they like it. I give money to panhandlers & beggars. I give to charities & causes. I believe in the Christian adage of "if a man sues you for your shirt...give him your coat off your back as well". I take to heart the idea that we are all here to take care of each other. Too bad so very many "Christians" don't feel this way.
4. I am pretty & witty & gay: I have a distinctive, interesting & original sense of humor, by turns urbane-witty-sophisticated & silly-slapstick-gross out. I am equal parts Noel Coward & Three Stooges. I worship Woody Allen & Fran Lebowitz & Kathy Griffin & Jack Ass. I deal in irony, satire & camp. I think my sense of humor is my defining personality trait.
5. Gluttony...I am given to overdoing it: actually, not so much with food, even pizza. But, mostly in my life- "if it feels good, more is even gooder". Booze, drugs, shopping, working, exercise, sex... I have overdone them all & I have to watch myself closely & temper my behavior, or possibly perish.
6. I am a curmudgeon: I am VERY much in touch with my inner grouch & I don't suffer fools gladly. To a fault. The Husband is always telling me that it is not my job to set the world straight. I disagree with him... apparently it is my job.
7. I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast, I fall in love too terribly fast for love to ever last. My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been FOOLED in the past, & still, I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast. Oh... & I am very much in touch with my inner slut.
