Meme...Fill in the Blank Style, or Did you pass the MMPI

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with CELLing Realty CalBRE #01445865

Another meme ~ who in the world started this one?  I got a mail from Audrey June Forshey saying "you've been tagged." Tagged for what, meme's died out didn't they?  Then I get another mail......this time my Feng Shui Friend in Long Island Carole Provenzale  doing the same thing...."tag you're it". 

OK, so here is my meme....fill-in the blank style.  Mostly I did this like an MMPI (that personality test that you have to pass for Government Jobs)....at least I think I passed them in the past....... LOL :)

So, here goes, my fill-in the blanks meme:

I am - shocked I am writing another meme....tagged not once but twice (Thanks Audrey and Carole)

I think -way too much sometimes.  A mile a minute I 've been told.

I can - do anything I set my mind to.

I want - to go back into the Peace Corps in a couple more years, this time to Africa.

I have- had many wonderful experiences in life.

I wish- I may, I wish I might ....I wish to get some sleep tonight :)

I hate -inequality and people that change the rules to suit their own needs, without concern for the ramifications that decision can cause others; Greed and Out and Out Idiots are right up there too.

I miss- having my Office at the River.....

I fear -the world that my grandchildren will inherit

I feel -restless....I want to move on, go be a vagabond and see what else life has to offer.

I hear-Louie Armstrong's "It's a Wonderful World" when I am just "being"......

I smell -cookies...

I search -for understanding of people.  I never can figure out how some people just don't seem to have a conscious, and some people are just plain Idiots....no matter what.

I regret - a few things

I love - the innocence of children, the sun shining, birds chirping, a thunderstorm...everything but idiots :)

I care - "About people, whether I know them or not". Answer REBLOGGED from Carole Provenzale...thanks Carole :)

I always -Nothing...there are no Always in my life.

I am not- afraid to let people know where I stand on issues, or to give my opinion if asked.  The if asked is the part I sometimes forget.

I believe - in the good in people even when the bad is so obvious.

I danceto my own drummer.....

I sing -to my own drummer.......

I don't always-get a nap...boy do I love the luxury of taking a nap........ LOL :)

I write-Honestly

I win- everyday that I try.

I lose- everytime I stop trying.

I never- never's are the same as Always.....life and circumstances although somewhat predictable, has twists and turns along the way.....Today's "I never" could be easily changed with the right circumstances.

I listen - with my heart, and filter it from the files of Experience.....

I can usually be found -standing up for the underdog.

I'm scared of - Diseases.....I got a bad one in Europe and had to be flown back here for a Biopsy...can I edit the I hate...to include Diseases :)

 I read- is this past tense or present LOL :)  If it's present...I don't read much anymore, if it's past tense I read a lot before going into Real Estate.

I forget - that sometimes people might not know about issues that I am passionate about, and usually that's OK...sometimes though I want the whole World to stand up and fight for Social Justice, everywhere, for everyone.

I just- "Want to experience as much as I can in SO many different things!  There is never enough time for all I want to do and learn." *** Dang....another REBLOG from Carole.....

I like this copy and paste stuff....especially since re-blogging is now sanctioned :)  Seems to me it could cause a lot of lazy blogging, wait...that's what I just did with Carole's statement....... LOL :)

I am happy about - so many things....there is just no way to mention everything that I am happy about, so I will just say I am happy for what I have in life.

 

***MMPI- Minnisoata Multiple Personality Inventory*** This is the Nationally Recognized Test for determining personality traits....at least that's what they say LOL :)

 OK....for laughing at me I tag Sally Cheeseman~~~ ahhhh remember he who laughs last laughs best :)***Laughing with you, not at you :)***

That one was payback...here are my other 2 picks and boy will they be thrilled to do this meme........ LOL :)

Sally-I'm laughing right along with you :)  Hey I could have easily taken both Carole and Audreys answers and with a little editing made them my own.....:)  Ok, I am waiting for your take on this......

I actually liked this spin-off of the standard MeMe.  This is a nice little peek into who Kathy McGraw is... I think I like her;-)

Kathy, SEE, you have interesting MeMes!  You want to go back to the Peace Corp?  NOW?  You'd better get out and visit New York before you think of going to Africa!  Who knows, you might love it here and want to stay (what a nice thought that is :)

Kathy, I know this was for fun but I've actually wished I could see the world more like you do! There are quite a few of your answers that I have used in my own philosopies in the past but they have fallen by the wayside lately - thanks for the reminder.

Jason-Hi there....it's so nice to see you, and glad that you liked what you see...this really is me, at least the one side...... LOL :)  The Idiots get to see the other side......

Hi Carole-OK OK....I wrote it.:)  Yes, I want to go back to the Peace Corps, but not yet.  I want to wait a few years, as there are other things I want to do right now...that Vagabond thing is much truer than you might think.  Going across the country by myself without a job is a little scary right now, but the time is coming.  I can feel it.  I'll get to New York one of these days....:)  Anyway, we'll meet.....Destiny is a funny thing....we can't control it, we just go along for the ride.

Lynette- Keep your chin up...life has thrown you some pretty hard fast balls lately, but even those will end.  We all have had our days of not being able to see and experience the good, but it's there...if you don't find it today, try again tomorrow, and then the next day and the next.  One day you won't even have to try....it will just be.

Remember I am just over the hill if you want to talk :)

Kathy, a very good MeMe. I know, they can get annoying, but actually the fill in the blank type can be free flowing if you just put the first thought down. I share with you that element of being restless. Good luck with the Peace Corps when you enter that phase.

Hi Kathy,
This new MeMe is sure making the rounds and I think we may  be learning more about members from this one than the old one. 

Your compassion is showing!  Know what Wikipedia says

"Compassion is a profound human emotion prompted by the pain of others. More vigorous than empathy, the feeling commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another's suffering. 

Yes, that's our Kathy.

Kathy, I really like this Meme.  While I read it I could hear you laughing while doing it.  Life is so much more fun when we are having fun!!

Gary-I did write the first thing that came to mind...in the MMPI style :)  I figured if I had to sit down and think about it, well I might try to filter my responses.....but for sure what you see is the Positive side of me that thank God is there more often than not. 

As for the Peace Corps....I had thought about America Corps also...we'll see.  One way or another I am going to move on....in a couple years :) 

Cynthia-My you were busy with Wikipedia ,,,,LOL :)  If that's the definition then yes, I am a pretty compassionate person. I think that's why I cut and pasted that one answer of Carole's on People....it just fit.  Audrey had several that fit also...but that would have ruined my MMPI style of answering :)  These memes really did give me a different insight into the people that have done them so far.....

Audrey-You're right, I was laughing while doing it, and I absolutely agree with the having fun part.

Kathy you know something is interesting.... I've been reading your blogs for a while and I kinda got the feeling that your feet were itching and I kinda thought that you wanted to make some changes/move/do something different...

"I want - to go back into the Peace Corps in a couple more years, this time to Africa."

mmm.... I think you are more transparent than you even know.  This is good.  :-)

Nannette- That obvious huh:)  Mostly I'm OK with that, but somethings and in some circumstances I think it's better not to be so transparent.  Oh, and I like how you said that..."itchy feet"  that sort of goes along with your grandmothers "walking around sense ".......I think I like these sayings :)  Have a good weekend my friend :)

Well if I didn't know you were a kindred spirit before I sure do now!  I was a little taken aback at how some of our answers were almost exactly the same - and the rest were a wonderful read into a deeper layer of Kathy!  :-)

hmm the vagabond and restless spirit.....i have that too..........as you know..............I know I've been looking for some 'peace' in my life, but I guess Canadians can't join the peace corps...........or can they?

Liz-I have to go read yours, it wasn't finished last I checked, then I'll know which questions were answered the same :)  I knew that we had some similarities....I could feel it reading your stuff...several different times actually :)

Now as to the Peace Corps for Canadians....I will bet they have some type.   I made a major decision today, and set in motion the first steps to alleviating my restless spirit :)  Oh  I love being free.....free to go where ever I choose, whenever I choose.

Hi Liz- You're funny...I set a date for moving....I will move (will know for sure this week) Nov. 1st and take the RV and go to different areas.  I was going to get my Washington Brokers Licence before and I think I will do that now.  OK, your turn.

Kathy:  I know all about that restless spirit thing!  It's taken me away most of the summer.  I will share my story when you post yours.  Happy traveling.  I think it's great to have the courage to do what your heart says ... your head will figure out how to do it!  Enjoyed the MEME list ... lots of stuff in that one!

Hi Jan- Boy am I restless. I got a call today from the people that were going to rent my house, they had to change their plans. So for right now I have to change mine also.  So, do I still have to wait for your story LOL :)
