My Blog is My Animus
I have now joined Ravelry! Let me know if any of you are also on there so I might friend you.
Mum flew into town last night for business and we had dinner and watched parts of The Beethoven Virus before passing out. I am now sick as a dog with a head cold, but still I managed to slog it into work despite the snow.
Dear My Boss Will Probably Request You Slush-Slogger:
If you seal your SASE, we won’t be able to contact you.
Dear We’ve Requested Your Partial Slush-Slogger:
Your manuscript does not, I repeat, does not need to be bubble-wrapped. Twice. With differing sized bubbles. You also don’t need to duct tape the box you sent it in within an inch of its existence. All this does is leave the intern with raw fingers and a bad mood and your likelihood of being rejected increases threefold.
For those of you who read my blog with any consistency, you might know that I love Myers-Briggs type indicators and that I have (for the past few years, at least) consistently tested as an INFJ.
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see what type my blog reads as at Typealyzer and to my surprise, it tests as an ESTP, the exact opposite of what type I am. Although I really oughtn’t be, considering my type tends to hide the true inner self.
ESTP: The Doer
The active and playful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.
Interestingly, this is Bear’s type (and White-Harp’s as well).
Thus in true false-ESTP fashion, I’ve realised it’s been a while since I’ve made a Style post. My most recent find is Sally Jane Vintage, who sells beautiful vintage pieces on EBay. I hate EBay with a passion (it’s so poorly designed! Yes, I am exactly shallow in that way; if your site isn’t aesthetically pleasing, I won’t bother looking at it), but the proprietress of this shop knows how to cull together a great look-book for her wares.

Her blog is great for inspiration and I thoroughly adore her sense of style. Now if only she could find a way to sell the clothes somewhere other than EBay…
