Notes

This Quiz Claimed to Know the “Real Me”

I was intrigued.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

False. At least for now, I’m done with studying. Learning, though, lasts a lifetime.

The right job for you:

You’re a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you’ll be set for life.

False. Journalism will not be a secure job with a steady income!

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

False. I don’t measure success in terms of a career.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

True. Though perhaps not “anything and everything”. I’d rather not completely lose my sense of identity in a relationship.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

False. I don’t believe in love at first sight. Its totally superficial. I do however, believe in love at first sight of their personality. I don’t think you can truly begin to fall in love until you start to know them.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren’t interested in wasting time with people you don’t really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

True. I wouldn’t lead someone on if I’m not interested, its harsh. If I had, then I’d clarify for them that I’m not actually interested, otherwise they might not realise I’m not interested! And I guess it would be nice to “fall deeply and beautifull in love”, but I guess only time will tell.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Half True. I like to be in control. A little too much. But I’m more likely to cover up how I feel by teasing someone, or trying to make a joke. (And I usually put my foot in it, and say something I regret)

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Kinda True, Kinda False.

Verdict: Quiz, you don’t know me as well as you think you do.

Of folklore and flowers

                       

Legend has it that Forget-Me-Nots got their name from a brave young Knight that before going off to battle was walking alongside a river with his Love. As he knelt to pick the little blue flowers, he stumbled into the river and was swept away by the current. As he was dragged away by the river he cried “forget me not!”.

Since then, Forget-Me-Nots have been given and received as symbols of faithfulness, patience and unending love.

Virtues that seem to be lacking in the world me thinks.

The media always has some story of a couple that has been destroyed by unfaithfulness, and it’s not just celebrities that struggle with commitment.

Call me old-fashioned, but I see no value in “open relationships”, or in situations that leave people unsure of whether their affections are being returned as strongly or as committedly.

Maybe this is where being a romantic and having feminist tendencies works out. The romantic in me wants to swept off my feet, and will wait for a “knight”. However, the feminist in me won’t just “settle”. I know what I’m looking for, and they’ll have to prove to me that they’re it.

But once I’m convinced, I promise to forget-you-not.

Obsession over a mistake.

Mistakes. We all make them. Anyone who says they have no regrets is lying, or has selective memory.

So mistakes can be harmless, naive, others can be embarrassing, but provide for jokes between you and your closest friends.

The worst mistakes are the ones that still squeeze your stomach inside out when you remember them.

A couple of weeks ago I made one of these such mistakes. I look back and think “I cannot believe I said that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”.

Seriously. It was bad. I really put my foot in it. Both feet. Without looking before I leapt.

I don’t even agree with what I said, it was appallingly bad taste, an attempt to tease which horrifically backfired when I realised what I said.

I apologised profusely when I realised what I said, and they said it was OK, but it still gives me a sick feeling.

I’m sorry again!!!!!!
