From Randy Seaver over at Geneamusings:

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1. Go take the Hallowe’en Personality quiz
2. Post it on your own blog, as a comment on this blog, or on your Facebook page.
3. Tell us if this is “right on” or note.  Have fun with it!

Results

I got the same result as Randy (insert comment along the lines of “great minds…” here):

• You’re a friendly person, but not the life of the party. You like making someone else’s day – and you’ll dress up if you think of a really fun costume.
• You are an overachiever and quite popular. You’d save the world if you could.
• Your inner child is open minded, playful, and adventurous.
• You truly fear the dark side of humanity. You are a true misanthrope.
• You’re prone to be quite emotional and over dramatic. Deep down, you enjoy being scared out of your mind…even if you don’t admit it.
• You are a total overachiever and workaholic. You’re the type of person who plans their elaborate Halloween costume weeks in advance.

Hum…interesting. After a couple re-reads, I’d say it’s more “on” then not. The summary was that I “see Halloween as scary” and that’s definitely not true and I would disagree with the ‘popular’ in the second bullet, but otherwise not too far off if I’m to believe my husband who’s always accusing me of trying to save the world and working too much. (As if saving the world doesn’t take a little extra effort. Sheesh.)

Alas, I may have to resort to my backup superhero costume this year as-thanks to the time suck of that whole ‘saving the world thing’-I didn’t get my new costume done for this year. But it is awesome so hopefully by next year…

Happy Saturday night everyone!

and BOO!

Yes, going to try and do a quick version of SNGF. From Randy Seaver over at Geneamusings:

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1)      Find something that you have written that you are really proud of – the best of your work. Do an Edit > Copy of it.

2)      Go to the website http://iwl.me/ and Paste your text into the waiting box.

3)      Tell us which famous author you write like. Write it up in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog, or post it on Facebook. Insert the “badge of honor” in your blog if you can.

Results

I didn’t spend any quality time picking which posts to analyze, I just pulled the three most recent that deal with my actual research.

Finding what I wasn’t looking for: H. P. Lovecraft

Hello Howard: The finding of the Great-Grandfather I didn’t know was lost: David Foster Wallace

The brickwall I didn’t even know I had: Stephen King

I’ve seen H.P. Lovecraft and David Foster Wallace come up for a number of people but have to admit to laughing pretty good at getting Stephen King, especially for that post. Otherwise, I have not idea what these results mean, other than perhaps my writing isn’t very consistent.

Happy Saturday night everyone!
