It seems that I am some what of an anomaly, a walking paradox if you will. The list of evidence supporting this statement includes but is no limited to the following:
In high school, on more than one occasion, they made us take personality tests to figure out whether we were a type ‘A’, ‘B’, or ‘C’ and multiple times my test results said I am a mixture of the personality types. The last time or two, including one I took today, said I am a Type ‘B’ which is once again a mix of type A and C.
I took multiple career aptitude tests and I always get really off the wall career choices that have nothing to do with one another, and would be horrible for me. Examples: zoologist, clergy member, law enforcement officer, gym teacher… My results always say something complimentary like, “With your wide range of interests you would be comfortable in any field you enter.” Translation- “Your crazy answers were so inconsistent we could not find a career to put you in so we have listed things that are in no way related to one another.”
I am a girl but I don’t like to shop. I really hate malls and I have no idea why. I hardly ever leave there feeling ready to go someplace else; all I want to do is go home and sleep.
Some might suggest that I am a touch on the attention deficit disorder side of the spectrum, but yet I could sit with a book and read for hours. I can even read in the Ferg at noon when it’s impossible to find a seat and it is extremely loud.
I grew up (and am still growing up) in the age of technology however don’t know a thing about it. I have very little patients for cell phone but could not live with out mine, I can send an email but not much else, and I find iphones really cool but a waste of money. I’m sorry but I already have a computer, ipod, and cell phone all of which I paid too much money for, so why waste more money on something that renders all my other gadgets obsolete
Dad always tells me how mature I am, but at times I sense of humor rivals that of a 12 year old boy
I’m relatively old fashion and set in my ways. I don’t care about celebrities, I think most of the stuff on TV and the most of today’s fashion trends are stupid, and the music that is now popular gives me a migraine- however, I am a fountain of pop culture knowledge, even if it pertains to a time I was too young to remember or was not born for… Could someone explain that please?
Country and (for lack of a better word) “Classic Rock” are my favorite music. My choice of country music is self explanatory but I fell in love with the other stuff because of Dad. When I was little he introduced me to the likes of Jimmy Hendrix, The Who, The Beatles, and The Doobie Brothers…Thanks Dad for making me one of the coolest seven year olds in my Sunday school class.
I think if you could see my personality, the essence of all that is Betsy, you would see something along the lines of a patchwork quilt… I’m sure there are more examples of my contradictory way of life, just ask Meredith.
--I will not make it a habit to write extended post that are completely about myself and what makes me tick. Thank you for your time

I stopped reading at "I don't like to shop" -- I just can't get past THAT LINE.
ReplyDeleteThere are definately other examples of your contradictory way of life.... I'm going to ponder that for a while, make a list, and then get back to you.
ReplyDeleteThis was a good post B.... I liked it.
Now Beth... we're going to need you to be a little more open-minded..... :) haha
