The 18 Foxtrot Chronicles

i recently discovered that my brain is green and female. not green in a vulcan, mr spock kind-of-way, but at least according to sheila glazov. what color is your brain is a "fun and fascinating" (according to her) book that explains your personality and that of your friends, colleagues and family according to four colors -- blue, orange, yellow and green.

at first i wondered why she picked such boring colors -- if it were me, i would have chosen turqoise, violet, fuschia and chartreuse.

perhaps that's why she chose blue, orange, yellow and green.

i also thought it would be more interesting if she called it "what animal is your brain?"  she could have had a lion brain, dog brain, cat brain, bird brain... oh, well, then again maybe not...

apparently i am green because i am logical and composed, i value knowledge, my priority is "no drama," my stress factor is not having enough time to myself, and i like no frills greeting cards. (please note: that last one is not entirely accurate -- i like hoops & yoyo e-cards)

it is particularly enlightening to read the characteristics of all my blue, orange and yellow-brained friends. most entertaining is when you read the attributes of different colored brains and a specific person will pop into your mind -- like when she says that an orange-brained person's attitude toward social events is: "where's the party?" i won't mention who this reminds me of (follow this link), but i have to admit, she has green me pegged as well, under the banner of: "do i HAVE to go?"

i could never understand why people would say i was intimidating -- according to glazov, this is because green sees green as "calm, cool and collected" while other colors see green as "insensitive and intimidating." hey, at least i use emoticons, right???!!! :-)

some people don't like personality profiling because they feel it "pigeonholes" them and it causes people to stereotype them. hey, can i help it if you're an orange-brained, high "I", dominant, extravert ...??!!

my brain is not just green but also female. according to the "what gender is your brain?" quiz, my brain is 73% female and 27% male. i am assuming the femaleness of my brain derives from the fact that i have more than 10 pairs of shoes and would spare the feelings of a friend if she asked me if she had gained weight.

i said i would NOT marry for money even if the person was a billionaire. now, if he was a billionaire and REALLY GOOD LOOKING, that would be a whole different story...  (if you fit this category, please send me a personal message). i'm guessing that the male brain equivalent might be, "I would be willing to marry someone even if she was penniless as long as she was a SUPERMODEL."
