Typealyzer

The writing style reflects the persona used by the blogger.

New: what archetype is that blogger?

The analysis indicates that the author of
http://procrastinatorinc.blogspot.com
is of the type:



ESTP - The Doers
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.

Well, the second half is sorta true.

Celebrate






This one was sorta tricky. My birthday is this week. Once, on my 21st birthday, I went to see a psychic. The eight of hearts usually denotes some sort of celebration.


I used one of those ACT cards this time, it's a lot faster to crank out a little sketch.

I'm trying to get my living room finished, thought this was appropriate. I figure I can plug my blog with these until I have time for real content.




Your Home Says That You Feel Settled and Calm




You come across as very intellectual. People take your wisdom seriously.



You have poor hygiene, whether you know it or not. Time to clean up your act!



You are a very domestic person. You enjoy decorating, cooking, and making things homey.



You are not a nurturing person by nature, but you can easily take care of someone you truly love.



You feel settled in your life. You have enough time to focus on little details.



You are a somewhat self sufficient person. You can do fine on your own if you have to.



Your friends see you as insightful, encouraging, and progressive.

quadrapus, quadrapus...

...does whatever a quadrapus does.

This is Mr. Bobby, Yo-yo and I made him. He's constructed from a baby mitten (technicalities aside, it's a glove but I think the term glove is for grown-ups, not babies). He's filled with popcorn kernels, so don't put him in the microwave.

Sarah has the magazine with better instructions. She also let me use her supplies. We didn't have buttons, but its says to glue them on the bottom of the "tentacles" to represent the suction cups.
  1. Find a buddy-less glove or get a new pair.
  2. Tuck in the thumb of the glove and sew it shut.
  3. Fold in the cuff and fill the glove with popcorn kernels or uncooked rice.
  4. Sew around the edge of the cuff (don't sew the sides together or you'll end up with something that looks like a chicken plume)
  5. Pull the string tight so you have a ball shape.
  6. Sew or glue pom-pom on the top of it's head.
  7. Pinch a pleat on the back of the glove and sew it so that it brings the "legs" back a bit.
  8. Cut a mouth shape out of fabric and glue it on the "face". I folded the fabric in half and made a half of a valentine heart shape.
  9. Glue on a pair of googly eyes.
  10. Glue a pom-pom on top of each "tentacle"

Resolve


"I'm afraid there's only one way to resolve this."

I'm trying not to blah, blah, blah so much about what I like and don't like about my doodles. Perhaps her opponent is so tiny and far away because in my mind I couldn't think any less of him.
