SELF ANALYSIS: Things to Remember in My Next Life

Posted on April 2, 2005 by Susan

I have stayed away from this category for a while–after all, why get into it in front of the world–sort of like a weblogging Maury Povich?  If you can’t see my flaws whether in person or in a weblog, why … Continue reading → Continue reading →

SELF ANALYSIS: The Ostrich Approach

Posted on February 26, 2005 by Susan

It’s coming to a point where I must indeed pull my head out and look around, even to find a new hole. Strange how intelligently we can decipher the signs, know the solution, yet fly away if we can, or … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Thanks to J-Walk, I’ve been pegged.  My job skills according to this little test: Your strongest career skill is:  Pragmatic–focusing on facts and specifics.

SELF ANALYSIS: The Morning After

Posted on December 14, 2004 by Susan

Yes, I have had mornings in my past where I’ve awakened, looked to my left and said, "ohmygod!" But with the self-imposed bridle of marriage, thank God, those days are past.  It seems that I can’t break old habits however … Continue reading → Continue reading →

SELF ANALYSIS: Applying Learned Principles

Posted on September 17, 2004 by Susan

In soaking up knowledge, perhaps as a form of narcissism we often tend to use it as a gauge of our own selves. Patience, tolerance of others; these virtues I have sought to learn through years of living in a … Continue reading → Continue reading →

SELF ANALYSIS & EDUCATION: Osmosis

Posted on September 5, 2004 by Susan

That’s the word I’ve been looking for—osmosis. This is the whole of my education. Of course I study; I cram for exams, I write essays surrounded by books and notes, I pay attention in class and take those notes. But … Continue reading → Continue reading →

SELF-ANALYSIS: Personality Conflicts

Posted on August 24, 2004 by Susan

Within oneself, I mean. I aspire to be organized, hate to be out of control, like to roll with the flow while planning ahead. In truth, I am a free spirit, given to bursts of spontaneity, am inquisitive and open-minded. … Continue reading → Continue reading →

SELF ANALYSIS & WRITING: Which Me Am I Now?

Posted on June 13, 2004 by Susan

Psychology and Philosophy are twins, I think. Both force the questions, “What is the mind? What is real, and what is not?” Freud probed the mind to propose (loosely translated) that many lived inside one single mind, and colored how … Continue reading → Continue reading →

SELF ANALYSIS: Being

Posted on June 10, 2004 by Susan

A spark of life, a flash of light from flint and metal. Patience, work, determination. Patience, waiting for the straw to catch. Work, over and over and over again in repetitious moves based on experience and knowledge. Determination, because there … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING, SELF-ANALYSIS: Stop

Posted on June 10, 2004 by Susan

“There’s something happening here, What it is ain’t exactly clear…” “Stop, hey, what’s that sound Everybody look what’s going down…” (For What It’s Worth, Lyrics; Buffalo Springfield) I feel it, the breaking down of the last stronghold. Writing is in … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Posted on May 20, 2004 by Susan

Wow. Remind me not to take Leadership or Self Esteem quizzes when I’m trying to climb stairs. From Jerz’s Literacy Log, you’re welcome to try this one out–good luck and hope you do better than I did. Actually, if you … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Self Analysis: Quizzila Style

Posted on May 18, 2004 by Susan

Haven’t done a Quizzila for a while. This one intrigued me, plus I wanted an image to brighten things up a bit today: You’re a Spirograph!! You’re pretty tripped out, even though you’ve been known to be a bit boring … Continue reading →

SELF ANALYSIS: Multitasking

Posted on May 16, 2004 by Susan

It has been an absolutely beautiful day outside today. Yet, I didn’t do any of the gardening, nothing at all. I’ve been in a decent mood the past several days. But I did little to no writing. There are so … Continue reading → Continue reading →

SELF ANALYSIS: Religious Experience

Posted on May 11, 2004 by Susan

Uh-oh. I fell off the political wagon, but am having weird religious thoughts this morning, inspired perhaps by a recent spat of religious debate that normally follows crisis. Random then, and rapid-fire: Sure, religion and a belief in something beyond … Continue reading → Continue reading →

SELF ANALYSIS: Dreaming Memories

Posted on May 4, 2004 by Susan

I lie in bed and life goes by in slow motion, bits and pieces, good and bad. But guilty memories refuse sometimes to sleep, and turn to guiltless dreaming. Dependent on, perhaps the point at which the restless mind succumbs … Continue reading → Continue reading →
