I thought for sure I’d be the dash — or, the ellipses…

Filched from Toddled Dredge, deep in my unexamined Bloglines account:


You Are a Comma


You are open minded and extremely optimistic.
You enjoy almost all facets of life. You can find the good in almost anything.

You keep yourself busy with tons of friends, activities, and interests.
You find it hard to turn down an opportunity, even if you are pressed for time.

Your friends find you fascinating, charming, and easy to talk to.
(But with so many competing interests, you friends do feel like you hardly have time for them.)

You excel in: Inspiring people

You get along best with: The Question Mark

  1. Friday comment game – it’s all about you! I’ve been staring at this empty interface for long enough. I give up, I got nothing for you today. Well, that’s not exactly true.

  5. The literary education of Stephen Harper I love this. Canadian author Yann Martel, perhaps best known for his book Life of Pi, has taken on a project of sorts.

Me, too.

Comma here, too, although I could’ve answered the questions many different ways. What’s funny is that I am terrible when it comes to actually using the humble comma properly.

I’m a question mark. Doesn’t it bother you that the comma in the illustration is an apostrophe? (It’s bugging me, maybe that is why I’m not a comma) It said that I get on well with commas, though, and so I guess I can continue reading your blog.

Hmm, I’m a comma too. I agree with Mad Hatter, there were a couple of questions that had multiple answers for me. I should do it again to see what else I might be. But the description is pretty accurate.

I’m a comma too! But I don’t agree with the description at all!! It’s sooo not me :P ~

Ha, I’m an exclamation mark:

You are a bundle of… well, something.
You’re often a bundle of joy, passion, or drama.

You’re loud, brash, and outgoing. If you think it, you say it.
Definitely not the quiet type, you really don’t keep a lot to yourself.

You’re lively and inspiring. People love to be around your energy.
(But they do secretly worry that you’ll spill their secrets without even realizing it.)

You excel in: Public speaking

You get along best with: the Dash

Like MomOnTheGo, I’m a Question Mark and it bothers me that the image isn’t showing a right-side-up comma!

8 Kerry April 18, 2008 at 7:40 pm

I don’t think you’re going to be surprised at this, Dani, but I’m also a comma. Enough said :o )

9 Ingrid April 20, 2008 at 8:22 am

I’m a colon, although that doesn’t sound very nice!

10 Reluctant Housewife April 24, 2008 at 9:21 am

I’m a comma too!
