Note to self:

I found one of these 'tests' on someone's site (see #7 above) and decided, why not? I inserted my real name, Mary Ann [which my father honestly thought he had invented by putting those two names together!] and came up with a bunch of stuff that was nowhere near who I am. . .for instance, Type A personality? What about Type L (for lazy)?! energetic, etc. etc. So I decided to submit my nickname, Noni and this is what I got. A little too eerie for me because it is about 99% right on and very much a Libra, like me.

What Noni Means

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Hope you have a beautiful autumn 48 hours!
