Hello. My name is Arlene. I believe that personality tests are cute ways to try and place people in cookie cutter shapes, but the fact is, I am really complicated. I am a lot of things, and a lot of other things in different situations. I believe it is wonderful how strange and mysterious people can be. There's beauty in that. I'm all up for surprises. So let's leave the letters behind, and I can take the time to unravel the beautiful story that is inside you.

The end.

Yes!! I never liked that system of typecasting one's personality, especially if there is such a small number of possible types. People are as different as fingerprints. No two of us are exactly alike. I believe the same can be said about personalities.

Personalities change too. When I was younger I was a completely different person from who I am now. Also, I don't think God hardwired us to have a certain personality, it is shaped by our own personal influences and experiences and so each persons' is unique. We shouldn't pigeonhole ourselves into these pre-designated personality types. Each of is is much more than that. :)

I'm awake at 5 am. Surprise,surprise! On a more positive note,I did in fact go to bed @ midnight. So I have gotten nearly 5 hrs of sleep. That's quite a bit for me. Nearly 2 hrs more than normal. I guess the trick is just staying up for a full 24 hrs prior.

I don't put much stock in personality tests either,Arlene. I'd much rather get to know someone then be told ahead of time what their personality type is. With that said,if it is a help to someone or somehow aids them in understanding themselves better,I suppose it's ok. I think as Christians the only personality test we need to look to is found in the bible. I find that the Holy Spirit is convicting & revealing enough to show me what my personality type is. I know this much about myself. I'm certainly not as complicated as I like to think I am most times. The complication I feel inside me more times than not,is usually something quite simplistic at the root when exposed for what it is.

With all that said...
I'm really looking forward to coffee & pancakes later on this morning.
:D
Deep stuff,huh?

Mine are too! Hey is it Tuesday in Australia? This whole day change thing is really interesting to me, don't ask me why. I just feel like, if we wanted to jump ahead we could fly down there and if you guys wanted to change something you could come back here and change it. lol I'm kidding, I know it's not like a Dr. Who time warp thing.

Yesterday was school picnic day at this place called Waldameer Amusement Park. We got there at noon and my daughter and I didn't leave util 10 PM. I'm so tried, she wanted to ride all the spinny rides. My kids rode with their friends most of the day, then my son got sick so he and my husband went home. My Daughter wanted me to stay with her. We rode the roller coaster a million times, the spinning tea cups, the flying swings, the scrambler, the bumper cars. This fun house ride called the Whacky Shack. This other very spinning ride called the Wipe Out. It was exhausting.

Amen, sister! That's an exceptionally good point. I've never put much stock in those tests but more so because I never understood how they worked. :p

It is strange. All of these Australians take over CC while we sleep. Yet they are in our future as they have just finished the day we started..... This is going to get confusing.....

Hey Tintin, How did the day go? Will I be alive at the end of the day??

Sunday was okay, thanks. Nothing eventful but finished up with a good evening service and fellowship afterwards over tea/dinner. Yes, I checked. You will survive the day. Barely. Just watch out for drop bears. :)

Would it be wrong to ask for the winning lottery tickets?

I mean, it is not gambling if you know the answer right?!?
