    I’m ok with everything but the phone thing. SOMEONE needs to use the phone – otherwise nothing will ever get dones (says the non-phone person who has been suckered into having to call the Cable company & the garage door people by her equally phone-hating husband).

    we just did the “Real Colors” assessment at work for team building, which is another story itself. However, based on 1. your list and 2. the things on your list, you are SO GOLD. and my guess is blue. Then green. Then orange, in a distant 4th place.

    I like fall and winter MUCH better than summer, and I’m not a phone person, either. :)

    I think we’re soul mates. Are you an ISTJ?

  11. hootenannie on April 27, 2010 at 1:48 PM

    I’m actually an INFJ… although a pretty even split between N and S. :)

    was i supposed to be apologizing to people all this time for being those things? i think i was too busy feeling superior to them. i guess that’s not good or something.

    i wont apologize for being disappointed that this post did not use the word ‘crotch’.

  14. Allie Dearest on April 27, 2010 at 10:17 PM

    I think I just experienced deliverance.

  15. Katie @ cakes, tea and dreams on April 28, 2010 at 8:13 AM

    AMEN, Annie. I need to make my own list.

  16. Lisa on April 28, 2010 at 8:59 AM

    Love, love this list!

  17. Stevie on April 28, 2010 at 12:06 PM

    Love the list!!!

    With regard to the 9th from the bottom, I want to believe this is because you have never been a part of MY dance parties.

    As a compulsive apologizer- this was a much needed challenge/encouragement. I have never been a phone person and after this weeks This American Life, I’m a little paranoid about what my phone may or may not be doing to me. Just something to think about…
