blogthings

Almost every day I read a blog called "Red Shoe Ramblings" which is written by a woman whose profile describes her as "a shoe-addicted, book-loving, photo-crazed quilt artist living in Kentucky." She writes about her life and posts photos of flowers, scenery, arty things and herself. Sounds kind of boring but really, it's not. It's very interesting and inspirational to me. Anyway yesterday on her blog she had this link to a website called "blogthings" where there are these fun little quizzes you can take about yourself and then put the results on your own blog -- like "What your pizza says about you" and "What city are you?" and "What famous work of art are you?" I was intrigued with one that asked, "What pattern is your brain?" Now how, really, could I pass that up? Here's my result:

Your Brain's Pattern

Your brain is always looking for the connections in life.
You always amaze your friends by figuring out things first.
You're also good at connecting people - and often play match maker.
You see the world in fluid, flexible terms. Nothing is black or white.


I've always thought I had kind of a weird brain, and "purple radiating circular tie-dye kind of pattern" seems right to me.

But here's the funny part.
I went back and did another one, called "What color should your blog or journal be?" and I got this:

Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything.
You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey.
You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.


Now I have never thought of myself as particularly purple-oriented (um... there is that title up there....), but since my two favorite colors are red and blue, I guess it makes sense. As for the "summary" I would say most of it rings true. I'm not totally sure what a "meme" is and I might be too lazy these days... or too distant... to actually write a survey of my own. But otherwise ... well ... yeah ...

Now click on the link and go take your own little quiz!
