Tis the season to be silly (Tra la la la la- la la la). So I took a quiz.
And after answering just two questions, I have been analysed to the nth degree and the survey says I am a Katherine... and really rather spookily attributes personality traits to me that I really cannot argue with....
You are a Katharine -- "I am happy and open to new things" (Though not bungee jumping, thank you very kindly)
Katharines are energetic, lively, and optimistic. They want to contribute to the world.
(But only when I feel like it. Understood?)
How to Get Along with Me
- * Give me companionship, affection, and freedom. (But text me more than twice in one day and there will be trouble)
- * Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.(Or tickle my elbows.)
- * Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories. (I'm all about me, me, me...)
- * Don't try to change my style. Accept me the way I am. (But pinch me hard if I get out of control)
- * Be responsible for yourself. I dislike clingy or needy people.(I get claustrophobic and bite you)
- * Don't tell me what to do.(Like you'd even dare)
What I Like About Being a Katharine
- * being optimistic and not letting life's troubles get me down (I live in a red wine haze. It's beautiful)
- * being spontaneous and free-spirited (And saying hello to passing dogs)
- * being outspoken and outrageous. It's part of the fun. (Trouble on a butty I am)
- * being generous and trying to make the world a better place (But leave my chocolate alone)
- * having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures (Which is the kind of thing that can get a person into trouble)
- * having such varied interests and abilities (That nothing ever gets done)
What's Hard About Being a Katharine
- * not having enough time to do all the things I want (It's mostly the shaving of my legs that has to be abandoned)
- * not completing things I start (Well yes. But I get worried. And scared and a teensy bit bored)
- * not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career (It is my very own cardinal sin)
- * having a tendency to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasies (Bless me and my high faluting ways)
- * feeling confined when I'm in a one-to-one relationship (Yup)
Katharines as Children Often
- * are action oriented and adventuresome (Ermmmmm...no. Give me a pencil and I was happy)
- * drum up excitement (and then abandon it )
- * prefer being with other children to being alone (So I could pinch them)
- * finesse their way around adults (A skill I remain excessively proud of)
- * dream of the freedom they'll have when they grow up (and then spend the rest of my life feeling terrified by it and wanting my mum)
Katharines as Parents
- * are often enthusiastic and generous (But putting jam on everything does not a healthy kid make...)
- * want their children to be exposed to many adventures in life (As long as it doesn't involve climbing. Or jumping. Or leaving my side for more than four hours.)
- * may be too busy with their own activities to be attentive (God bless you my Darling Finn. Please don't tell my blog readers that yesterday I forgot to pick you up from school because I was busy doing other things. Blame Kath. It was her duty to remind me that pick up time was half an hour earlier than usual...)
