*yawn*  Nothing like an online quiz to get my Sunday morning going  :)

(posted to LiveJournal because it's super long)

Bah. Someone (or multiple someones) has not only been filling in crap in the nohari window, but falsely using the names of members to do so. Thanks for being so mature.

Aaaanyway, I intended for this to be a reflective exercise, so, prepare yourselves for some reflection.

I find it interesting that while people eventually pegged the same positive characteristics as I did, it took much longer and is less consistent than the negative ones, which were nailed right away by several people. So I guess I project my failings more consistently ;)

These are the words I chose for myself with some reflection on the choices:
selfish - yes, in most cases I place myself first. I usually see a situation and think "how can I most gain from this?" or "how do I get what I want?" I try to minimize the pain or inconvenience it causes other people, but it is not my chief concern.
needy - from the dictionary: "Wanting or needing affection, attention, or reassurance, especially to an excessive degree" Love me, love me! I love myself but I wanna hear about it from you too. I want to be recognized and admired for who I am and the things I do. Been that way since childhood. My talents were always paraded around, and I don't think I ever got the impression that you loved someone for who they are, not their accomplishments or grades or skills.
impatient - ok this should be fairly obvious :) It serves me well in terms of getting things done though.
loud - I didn't expect many people to put this down, because most of you see the online me, not the me in restaurants who gets annoyed glares or the family who was always telling me to shhhh :)
self-satisfied - "Satisfaction, especially complacent satisfaction, with oneself or with one's accomplishments" 'nuff said! I don't exactly hide the fact that I'm proud of the things I do.

If there had been options for procrastinator, easily distracted (inattentive maybe?), and antisocial, those would have been on my list as well.

Now, ignoring the ones entered by fake names, the positive and negative things that several others have indicated:

overdramatic - I prefer to think of it as "passionate" ;) Ok so perhaps the camgirl population isn't the best benchmark, but I really don't think of myself as overdramatic, or hell, even dramatic, particularly in comparison to a lot of crap I see out there. I do love life but I don't get caught up in needless wastes of energy.
chaotic - ok, I'll buy that. I certainly don't keep life boring! Others probably find me exhausting at times.
distant & aloof - these are the ones that really surprised me, especially because they were chosen by a few people who actually know me fairly well. If anyone would care to comment on this choice, I'd find it really enlightening.

A whole bunch of you pegged me as intelligent and bold, so thank you very much for that :) I found "extroverted" interesting, because I always have a hard time deciding between extroverted and introverted. It depends on the situation. I'm more of a hide-in-the-corner-with-the-people-I-know type of person at social gatherings, and I usually find being around a lot of people exhausting. I prefer quiet, alone activities. But again, I always speak my mind and I'm very outgoing online, so I can see that perception.

Ok enough reflecting for now. One exam down, two to go.

Ahh, a little self-reflection.

Now I'm curious how others categorize me...

EDIT: Muhahaha, the negative one finally worked for me. I promise I won't be offended by anything anyone chooses. Or you can just put in a fake nickname.

Grabbed from TheCaretaker and Tabitha. A quick giggle in the morning before I dive back into schoolwork *sigh*

Google your name with "needs" and post ten results. Reminds me of Googlism (which still only has one rather amusing result for "stephthegeek").

Stephanie needs to buy up all of their company’s stock
Stephanie needs cash--fast--but times are tough
Stephanie needs to be in a family where there are no other children or animals
Stephanie needs a spanking
Stephanie needs a family who can be patient and nurturing
Stephanie needs emergency surgery
Stephanie needs one friend to be promoted
Stephanie needs a strong manly shoulder to lean on
Stephanie needs the help of kennel clubs and concerned citizens in her quest to protect every deserving dog in the nation
Stephanie needs to get the women together in an alliance

And I hereby register my complaint with this result :P
