A bit bored....
I finally found a good HP sorting test. Most really annoy me, since they are so geared towards the books and I think that that is basically 'who do I want to be?' rather than 'is this me?'. In any case, I found one that works more on personality, and I think that it gives pretty good results ( Read more... ) -

Oh wow, recently I have been getting such nice responses to feedback I sent. This could get me seriously addicted to writing feedback. More than I already am, that is.
In any case, what I mean to say is getting a response to feedback makes me all happy and warm inside. So thanks! -
Mmm... writing
