Measure Your Feet Day, National Handwriting Day, National Pie Day, January 23rd

Measure Your Feet Day

My right foot is 8 6/10 inches, and my left foot is 8 4/10 inches. Odd. I always thought that my left foot was bigger than my right. I guess that's what makes days like this useful.

National Handwriting Day

According to the online handwriting analyzer The Handwriting Wizard my handwriting exhibits these traits about me: AMS exaggerates about everything that has a physical nature. Although she may not intend to deceive or mislead, she blows things way out of proportion because that is the way she views them. [What!!!] She will be a good story teller. AMS has a vivid imagination.

AMS allows many people into her life because she is accepting and trusting. [Umm, no.] She is sometimes called gullible by her friends. [Again, no.] That only really means that she trusts too many people. [Very, no.] One way AMS punishes herself is self directed sarcasm. She is a very sarcastic person. ["If it weren't for sarcasm, my life would sound pathetic." - Scott Raymond Adams, Dilbert ]

AMS is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. [I like to think so.] This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. [When do things ever go as planned?]

AMS basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, [I only take risks if the outcome is guaranteed.] as they relate to her goals. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence category, her self-perception is better than average.

In reference to AMS's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. [Thank you!] She probably gets too many things going at once. [Who are you, my mother?.] When AMS slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. [Or she leaves all of them unfinished.] She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. [I have a quick mind? Where is it?] When AMS is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip. [Climbing mental mountains? That makes me tired.]

AMS will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. [True!] She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. [Very true!] So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it! [Warning to everyone!]

AMS is moderately outgoing. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes. AMS will be somewhat moody. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. [Isn't everyone?] She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls AMS an ambivert. [That's me, ambivert! I've always said so!] She will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." [They haven't looked at my movie collection.] She will not buy into anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. AMS is an expressive person. She outwardly shows all her emotions. [Only to a select few, and if the occasion calls for it.] She will often show traces of tears when hearing a sad story. [I am a sap in movies.]

AMS is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. [If left-wing is middle of the road.] She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, [Horrid! I am not a fence-sitter!] and then will decide when she finally has to. [Okay, lately I have been putting off a few decisions... like purchasing cell phones, but only because I a tired of making decisions, and really, how important is a cell phone in the grand scheme of things?]

Okay, so according to the internet handwriting analysis, there is my personality. I feel psychoanalyzed. I think that I need to go have pie now. :)
