Well, as you know, I bombed this week as far as meeting my Tuesday deadline. So sorry. If I tried to tell you why I was otherwise preoccupied, you probably wouldn't even believe me, but I'm not at liberty to tell, anyway, so just trust me--what a week.
I chastised myself, "I should probably have a couple of these surveys tucked away for weeks such as this," but then I realized, "It's a meme. It's a small meme on a small blog about random questions. It is OK to miss a week." There was a time I would have been afraid of losing readers because of a stunt like this, but that time has passed. So while I'm not proud of my failures, I'm not losing sleep over this failure. There are plenty of others to lose sleep over!
Then Tuesday at work, I received an email message from my friend Linda at Mocha With Linda, in which the subject line read, "You'll get by with a little help from your friend." And within this message were 12 questions, all dressed up and ready to go with me, if I took them by the hand and led them here, which I'm now doing.
So all of these Q's come from "deep in the heart of Texas," yea, even so, the beautiful heart of my Co-Lid. You can see my symbolic picture up there of how the Random is being supported by the Mocha. I'm kinda symbolically artsy like that. Thanks for the piggyback, Lid.
Oh, and one more thing: Linda hosts a weekly meme as well, called "Flashback Friday." So you should hop on over to her blog Thursday and read her prompt so that you can participate on Friday. The button looks like this:
OK, now to your questions. Please return here tomorrow, Thursday, and link up.
1. Do you prefer to read the book or see the movie?

5. What is your favorite cold-weather beverage?
6. How do you communicate most often with your friends: phone, email, text, face-to-face, or Facebook?

8. Of the four basic personality types - sanguine, phlegmatic, melancholic, and choleric - which is your strongest? Which is your least evident? (See definitions below.)

Personality type definitions courtesy Wikipedia:
Sanguine
The Sanguine temperament personality is fairly extroverted. People of a sanguine temperament tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be quite loud. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean very sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when pursuing a new hobby, interest is lost quickly when it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy. For some people, these are the ones you want to be friends with and usually they become life long friends.
Choleric
A person who is choleric is a doer. They have a lot of ambition, energy, and passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were cholerics. They like to be leaders and in charge of everything.
Melancholic
A person who is a thoughtful ponderer has a melancholic disposition. Often very considerate and get rather worried when they could not be on time for events, melancholics can be highly creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become occupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. A melancholic is also often a perfectionist. They are often self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is sometimes they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others.
Phlegmatic
Phlegmatics tend to be self-content and kind. They can be very accepting and affectionate. They may be very receptive and shy and often prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are very consistent, relaxed, rational, curious, and observant, making them good administrators and diplomats.
