I'm The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe!

Wheee, I'm one of my favourite books! Of course, the "analysis" is complete nonsense, but hey... cant have everything! :)




You're The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!

by C.S. Lewis

You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed
quite dramatically. For the better or for the worse, it is still hard to tell. Now it
seems like winter will never end and you feel cursed. Soon there will be an epic
struggle between two forces in your life and you are very concerned about a betrayal
that could turn the balance. If this makes it sound like you're re-enacting Christian
theological events, that may or may not be coincidence. When in doubt, put your trust
in zoo animals.

Frosted rosebud

Took the photo this morning and nearly froze my slippers to the ground in the process - man, it's cold! Sunny, bright and freezing cold. Wonder if this bud will make it to flower... but just in case it didnt, I decided to capture it for posterity!

Character analysis through handwriting analysis

Got to the Handwriting Wizard from this site. I suppose as analyses go, it had the usual mixture of some startling truths and some things that just fell flat - I mean, they were SO far off track, it could have been a horoscope reading ;) Still, the test was fun to take... and why wouldnt it be fun when it's all about you and yourself, right? Just make sure you have a few minutes handy for the test, though.

Oh by the way - those who know me will know which of the points are accurate. And for those of you who DONT know me... if you assume that my character traits are all the good ones mentioned in here, you wont be far off the mark! heheheh ;)

Anyway, here goes "my" analysis:


******* The Analysis Starts Here *******

Shammi is selective when picking friends. She does not trust everyone. She has a select group of people that are truly close to her, usually two or three. She is careful when choosing her inner circle of friends.

Shammi has a temper. She uses this as a defense mechanism when she doesn't understand how to handle a situation. Temper is a hostile trait used to protect the ego. Temper can be a negative personality trait in the eyes of those around her.

Shammi is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Shammi basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.

Because Shammi has sharp needle pointed 'm' and 'n' humps, she has a very sharp mind. She instantly sizes up situations, making instant decisions. She thinks and evaluates circumstances very rapidly. Many people with this type of mind are geniuses, thus she may be seen as highly intelligent. Shammi is often irritated by slow talkers or slow thinkers. If she drives, she gets irritated by slow drivers in the fast lane. She quickly becomes bored when being taught on the level of the slowest student in class. She may be on problem number three when the rest of the class is on problem one. Shammi is curious and very active. In fact, in school she might have been a trouble maker because she thought so much faster than the other kids, she finished her work first, thus having plenty of time on her hands to make trouble!

Shammi will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!

Shammi will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Shammi believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.

Shammi uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone. The circumstances when Shammi does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later. She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far. She is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise. Shammi will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know. The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally. Shammi is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?"

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Shammi doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Bliss...

To wake up the middle of the night, look at the luminous hands of my watch for the time, realise that there are still a few hours before I have to wake up for another day at the office... and then, to cuddle under the warm duvet in my comfortable bed and drift back to sleep to the familiar sound of my husband's snores... that is my definition of bliss.
