I should be writing a list of instructions for my dear in-laws who are coming to look after the boys tomorrow while G and I go to a wedding... but then I had a quick peek at the 12 Days :: Copy + Paste Christmas blog, and before I knew it, I was doing a quiz. I just couldn't help myself.
Here's the blurb:
Try not to think about it but give your first, instinctive responses to each of the following options ... some of your answers might even surprise you!
And here's the quiz:
This OR That?
fabric OR paper
ink OR paint
grungy OR clean
cut with scissors OR tear with bare hands
measure OR just guess
careful OR haphazard
hoarder OR minimalist
Christmas OR Summer holidays
music OR talk radio
drive OR walk
gym OR beach
cook a meal OR buy take-away
fruit OR cake
ironing OR crafting
ironing OR vacuuming
my friends OR my own company
talk OR listen
you OR them
always OR never
half-full OR half-empty
yes OR no
And yes, some of the questions were surprisingly hard to answer.. some I wanted to say 'BOTH!' and some I wanted to explain, to qualify my answers..
Here's what I came up with (my answers highlighted):
This OR That?
fabric OR paper.... BOTH!!! but at a push, fabric
ink OR paint... I'm loving a bit of paint right now.. though I love ink too.. Both again?
grungy OR clean.. actually that's a tough one too..
cut with scissors OR tear with bare hands... I have to admit I'm more often a cutter
measure OR just guess... again, I do tend to measure though I'd like to say guess
careful OR haphazard... TRICKY one!! Sometimes both at once
hoarder OR minimalist... no problem with this ;o)
Christmas OR Summer holidays... tough but I'm in winter mode right now
music OR talk radio... Five Live is always on round here
drive OR walk... easy!!
gym OR beach... gym, are you kidding?!
cook a meal OR buy take-away
fruit OR cake... it's the shameful truth
ironing OR crafting... Hahaha!!!
ironing OR vacuuming.. it's good exercise
my friends OR my own company.. quite a tough one, this.. but friends do make me happy
talk OR listen... both really but if I have to choose
you OR them... what?!!!
always OR never... now I'm confused
half-full OR half-empty...
yes OR no... definitely YES!
I think on another day, my answers would be totally different. On the first few questions, I really think I have a split personality.. I can be fastidious about measuring and cutting, trying to get everything just perfect.. but then I LOVE the look of more apparently haphazard, carefree stuff - I just find it quite hard to BE like that. Maybe I need a glass of wine before crafting to release those inhibitions...
Thanks Julie and Kirsty.. this was fun.. and illuminating (sort of)!! And now I should get back to what I was meant to be doing ;o)
