The lovely and charming Materfamilias has bestowed me with the Premium Meme Award the rules of which are to "list 7 of your personality traits, as evidenced on your blog, and then pass the award on to 7 other blogs with notable personality."
Truthfully, I am intrigued and puzzled by the meme, rather confounded by what I shall find, and indeed, if the things I see exposed in the blog are the same things that my readers see, as I don't think I have ever been particularly good at perceiving how others see me either here, or in real life, where I have less control over what parts of my personality are put n display. This is the part of my personality I would call oblivious, but I don't think it is particularly well displayed on my blog, or at least I hope not.
So, here is my list:
1. Introspective.
2. Observant.
3. Sentimental. Not that I am particularly sentimental about things, but that I am interested in the sentiments and feelings that situations or events produce, sentimental in terms of being preoccupied with sentiments, feelings, and emotions.
4. Analytical, especially self-analytical.
5. Loquacious (sorry Mater, I am stealing this from you) as I tend to go on and on.
6. Superficial.
7. Self-contained. I was actually torn here between self-contained, introverted, or hidden, as aspects of all of these are in evidence on Dooney's world, and in my life. Although I attempt to be very honest about the things I write about, one gets a very limited view of a life through this blog, and yet one also gets a pretty complete view of certain aspects of this life.
I don't know if these are an accurate reflection of what is reflected in this blog but it does seem like a suitable closing note. Indeed, this is my last post on Dooney's world. But not to worry. My frivolous self-absorbed musings will continue in another location.
I have decided that it is time to consolidate my blogs and my various musings into one place, hopefully a place that will in the long run be a more accurate reflection of the author (me). You can follow my meandering thoughts, as well as ruminations on style and my occasional creative outbursts over at the old/new blog PurlsandMurmurs.
