You Are What You Eat ... so they say!
No cheating.
If all of the eight desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose (sorry, you can only pick one)! Trust me...this is very accurate. Pick your Dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you.
REMEMBER - No Cheating. Make your choice before you check the meaning.
Here are your choices:
1. Angel Food Cake
2. Brownies
3. Lemon Meringue Pie
4.. Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing
5. Strawberry Short Cake
6. Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Icing
7. Ice Cream
8. Carrot Cake
No, you can't change your mind once you scroll down, so think carefully about what your choice will be.
OK - Now that you've made your choice, this is what the researchers say about you.... SCROLL DOWN---No Cheating
1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.
2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very loyal.
3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, sexy, & articulate with your Hands, you are an excellent caregiver and a good teacher.. But don't try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, you set your own style because you do your own thing. You shine when it comes to helping others and have many friends.
4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy, humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lacking motivation. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.
5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. You c an be very emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like to do things for yourself and help others learn about themselves.
6. CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Sexy; always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.
7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball, football, basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.
8.. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. You were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.
I think everyone knows about my love of chocolate cake ... no. 6 -
'True' Friendship - none of that sissy crap!
1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the fu*king bastard who made you sad.
2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile -- I will know you got shagged.
4. When you are scared -- I will take the piss out of you about it, every chance I get.
5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit moaning.
6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.
7. When you are sick -- Stay away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.
8. When you fall -- I will laugh as you land on your arse.
9. This is my oath.... I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask;
'because you are my friend'.
Send this to 10 of your closest friends
Then get depressed because you can only think of only 4

Friends are the family you choose ...
I read a blog this morning about ‘why women can’t keep friends’ and I disagreed.
The writer said that women, in general, tend to keep friends for a short while – friends who ‘fit’ that season in their life. Whether that be as a single girl so that they can go out clubbing together, as a young mum so they can share baby tales together, or as wifey-buddies (friends of the wives of their husband’s), who they can ‘share’ the latest gossip or dissect the meaning behind their man’s secret messages (which there aren’t, believe me) and even cry with and console each other with.
She went on to say that once that ‘season’ is over (i.e. one gets married, the other stays single), the woman will find something about that friend that irks them in some way and then find some excuse to kick them out of their life. Forever.
Hmm.
Apparently, women can’t stand each other’s company for too long. Too much competition. For men.
I disagreed, simply because I have a mixture of friends. Older and younger. Men and women. Some of them have been sharing this old life of mine for a very long time - the longest from school. Some of the others, bless them, have hung around for over 15 years.
The youngest friend that shares my adventures is 23, the oldest is 89. The richest is a millionaire who lives with her husband and two cats in London; the poorest lives on his own in a council flat in Slough is on the dole with two kids and a dog in tow.
The best thing about having and holding onto friends for a very long time, is that I get to share a variety of extra-ordinary qualities from each individual person. From a valuable, intimate, position. And I get to see those qualities shaping up (or down), at each stage – or season – in their life.
I certainly don't subscribe to the widely accepted notion that the more acquaintances you have in your life the more 'shallow' you are perceived, because somebody said that means you’re spreading yourself thinly. The reasoning behind that is that the smaller group of contacts you have, the more deeply committed you are to those particular people.
Over the years, I got to thinking I should not, not invite another person to share my life simply because of someone else’s judgement in that quarter.
I began to think this way: if I have only one friend then I’m going to want to use a huge chunk of that time with them. In that I would find disappointment. Simply because they’re not going to be able to give that to me. That’s not because they don’t want to share life with me. It’s because they want to share their life with other people – as well as me.
~ ~ ~
So, in your mind, you may be thinking that because your friends don’t want to spend a certain time with you, they don’t care for you - because they are not giving you the time you want with them. But if you don’t learn to allow your friend to grow in their own way in another direction – without you - you’ll be seen by them as clingy and demanding. You’ll be seen as needy and suffocating.
What I appreciate is that each individual has only a finite amount of time to spare. Each part of their life is special. Each part of their life is experienced so as to improve it and enable them to move on. They, too, are going to experience each season in a myriad of different ways.
Therefore, if you can invite a variety of people into your circle that you can talk with, share views with, agree and disagree with, go places with, capture memories with - then you’ll never be truly alone. You’ll always have somebody there. You’ll always have some valuable lesson to learn from – through another individual.
You’ll also get to witness how they cope with the hurdles they face. From that, you can observe one friend and how they deal with that issue - and improve your own life by learning, then you’ll be in a better position to help another friend through their issue by offering your own advice or counsel from what you’ve learned. They are free to accept or reject as their own conscience dictates.
~ ~ ~
I subscribe to the point of view that the more variety I have in my life the better it gets. The more people that wish to share my life, the richer my outlook becomes.
The more people that willingly enter my life, the less I have to place the burden of ‘friendship’ responsibility upon them. They can come and go as freely as they wish. I will be here for them if they need me. And I know because I don’t place any demands upon them, they will always be willing to listen to, or to help me – in good times and bad.
I don’t say this with a callous heart. I say it with an open mind. With warmth and gratitude, respect and admiration.
Anyhow, I pose the question: wanna stay in my life and give me a few lessons to learn from? In return, you might gain something from me too.
What say you, friend?
