Am I a blogging failure?

I mean, I’m not stupid or anything, but for some reason I cannot figure out how to blog on here. . . I can’t figure out the program, why I have one mommypress blog where I can find my posts, but another page (my main page?) that says I have no blogs.

I’m actually VERY computer literate.  I used to be a “professional temp” because I could go into any company, and within {literally} minutes in front of the computer, figure out how to navigate any program.  I would sit there for 8 hour days, get the work done within the first hour or two and then surf the internet for the remaining 6 and I would always get asked back because I was “the best temp they ever had”, (which of course makes me think that most temps must be REALLY crappy).

The point of the previous paragraph was to illustrate that I’m truly not a dummy. . . so what is my problem here?  Is this a conspiracy?  Is this a gliche of this new and fantastic program?  Or am I truly a blogging failure?

I think self-preservation is going to lead me to believe that it’s one of the first two options.

Well, I'm an Introvert you know

All these years of assuming that I’m an Extrovert because I’m loud and obnoxious, and after taking a couple Myers-Briggs tests recently, I find out that I’m actually an Introvert.

I suppose that I’m shocked because I always thought an introvert was the shy kid in the back of the class who didn’t speak and picked his nose when he thought no one was looking, and I’ll be damned if I was that kid!

Come to find out, I was actually wrong about that! (Insert shocked expression here).

According to my FaceBook Myers-Briggs test, which I’m sure is 100% accurate, I am actually an ISFP, which means that I’m

Introverted Sensing Feeling Perceiving
(Introverted Feeling with Extraverted Sensing)

Now, I’m not exactly sure what that means, but I’m sure it means I’m actually pretty smart.  However, if I were really smart then obviously I’d know what that means.  But I digress.

According to  http://www.personalitypage.com/ISFP.html , I’m The Artist.

Cool, I can handle that.  I did Art in high school, I can sketch and draw, do creative things and whatnot.  I sculpted a life-size cowboy boot once that was apparently SO good that someone stole it out of the library during a speech meet once. . . so yeah, I believe this.

I’d have to say that after reading the description, though, it’s fairly accurate except for this:

ISFPs tend to be quiet and reserved, and difficult to get to know well. They hold back their ideas and opinions except from those who they are closest to.

Now, if you know me then you are probably laughing your ass off right now.  Especially about holding back my opinion, which can be attested to by all of the participants of my recent “Babywearing” thread on Facebook which actually ended with me and an entire branch of my family disowning each other. . .

But, what I’ve decided this means is that I get to stop trying to be something that I’m not.  If I’m no longer a professed Extrovert then I have an excuse to be quiet when in social situations instead of verbally puking on everyone.  Because if they say anything about my pensiveness, I can now tilt my head to the side, softly smile and say with a quiet expression, “Well, I’m an Introvert you know”.

Hello world!

I think it’s funny and scary how the internet thinks that it “knows” me.  I’m new to blogging (and still don’t think I have anything worthy to say) and upon logging on I’ve already got an advertisement telling me how I can “Can Peppers” . . . like, just because I’m Mama Pepper, I really must be interested in Everything to do with Peppers, right?  I mean, I could have chosen Pepper because that was the name of a childhood dog that I loved dearly and got ran over by a car (true story by the way).

The internet is always doing these freaky things.  I’m starting to think that I’m being stalked by the World Wide Web. . . that’s pretty scary.  So, just in case you’re really watching me. . . Hello World.
