Ans I have so many blogs I need a whole fucking folder with user names and passwords! Each blog has one facet of me...my main one only comes to within a bulls roar of the real "me".. I'll admit to not doing the blog testing thing though..I don't think they'd have a category that fits every part of me..besides, everyone seems to be #3, so I'll just go with the flow :wink: As to why I blog, well I love the interaction and I love the way people who do know of my different sites react to each facet of me...people can be very adaptable and they read what's the right thing to say to each part...fascinating shit let me say!

I got the exact same assessment. I did sort of feel like I was at a carnival having my tarot cards read and the lady was sending out generic statements -- you want people to like you (doesn't everyone?) I did identify a lot with the last line "Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic." And then I popped back over here to compare ... and I realized ... we had the exact same assessment. Verbatim. That's a bummer. But it did spark my twist on a similar post and I linked back to you. So thank you for the post idea! Cheers! <strong>Cardiogirl: Hey there! Yeah I was pretty disappointed too when I realised it was set up to give everyone the same results. Oh well. Thanks for the linkage though - am just leaving to go and say hi in person on your blog, so put the coffee on! S</strong> Hi there. I got the exact same assessment.

I do swear from time to time, but not so much in my blog. Also there are things I won't blog about, things I know my hubby wouldn't want me to talk about, which restricts me somewhat, especially if we're having troubles and I want to vent! Also, as you know I did do the blogging thing a while ago (same time as you as it turns out lol) and that petered out as well. I think the reason for that has a fair bit to do with my insecurities, as I don't have many readers, so it's like why bother, no one wants to read anyway. So, I'm trying again, just to write for myself and I'm probably more honest in the blog in what I do talk about than I am in real life. So if you ever meet me, I'll be either the shy one hiding in the corner, or the outgoing one trying to pretend I'm all brave and likeable etc lol <strong>Fleat: Where have you been????? Sheesh! Ha! I would be the shy one in the corner, believe it or not :) S</strong> I’m me but it’s more complicated than that. I do swear from time to time, but not so much in my blog.

I definitely know what you are saying. I started a blog a few years ago and it went straight to the trash bin as I was trying to do it for other people and really had no idea what to blog about anyway. Then last year I came up with the idea that I could blog about my day to day training but after saying pretty much the same crap day in and day out I got sick of doing that as well (also the fact that it became an incredibly boring chore to write up again that I trained well blah blah blah). I almost gave up but decided (only last week mind you) that stuff it - I am just going to blog all my day to day thoughts, laughs, stuff ups etc and I don't care who reads it, comments on it or ignores it. So long as it is enjoyable to me and I get a giggle out of it, then I'm happy. I am as loopy as they come and I don't mind if anyone else thinks the same - my family do so everyone else can join the club too LOL <strong>Barbara: That's the key though I think. Enjoying it. SO many people seem to stress over every ranking, how many subscribers, commenter. I mean, we all like comments, let's be honest, but allowing this whole ranking thing to dominate your thoughts, ans what you do with your blog, seems strange to me. I'd rather just be true to myself. Therein endeth the sermon lol! S</strong> LMAO - Great post!! I definitely know what you are saying.
