Off the Cuff / My Other Journal

This Woman is No Miss Piggy or Is She?

About half an hour ago, I did Buzzfeed.com's personality test, Which Muppet Are You? Well, according to this, I ended up being Miss Piggy. The explanation for the Miss Piggy character was: "No matter where you are, you always let your diva flag fly. You're all about glamor and glitter and all that good stuff. You're not afraid to speak your mind and you always get what you want."

I wish, I wish, I wish! But I don't like glitter. I am a bit on the frumpy side, not so bad that you'd put a coin in my hand if you saw me on the street because I outfit me enough so I don't gross people out. And I don't always get what I want. I try with passion, but trying hardly works, does it or doesn't it? Hmmm...

So, not being convinced about me being Miss Piggy, I took another personality test from UK:

Lo and Behold! I am Miss Piggy, again. No wonder I eat the whoooole thing! But to tell the truth, probably for being Miss Piggy, I have a thing for Kermit. I've always had a thing for Kermit. Even though my older five-year old carried the Cookie Monster on his trike's handlebar, and my younger one loved Bernie, and Bert, and Big bird all at the same time. But that was way back when, only a few years after the Sesame Street first came to life on Channel 13 in New York.

Even though some shows photocopied Kermit later, there was only one Kermit, who was brought to life by (RIP) Jim Henson himself with all the glottal affectations and everything else. The froggies after the initial Kermit who became Kermit, I felt, were only bad copies. Jim Henson was a phenomenon. In fact, after him, I stayed away from the Muppets. Why shouldn't I? My kids were grown already.

What made Kermit great was his sense of humor, and his heart was in the right place. I choke when I think about Kermit. No wonder, I am Miss Piggy...as they tell me.

But one more thing I must confess before the clock strikes midnight and I lose both my slippers. I like Buzzfeed's far out personality tests. According to them, I am:

More fit to live in Texas or Denmark

Dorothy from the Golden Girls

Would be most comfortable living in Imperial China

Sleeping Beauty of the fairy tale princesses

Ronald Reagan of the presidents

Obi wan Kenobi of Star Wars

Shakespeare from the writers

Mr. Edmund Bertram of the Jane Austen Heroes.

A dragon from among the fantasy characters

If I am all those things, what the heck, I might as well be Kermit and Miss Piggy, and Big Bird and the entire nation of Muppets, all at the same time, so I can flaunt my team spirit, after all! Just like Miss Piggy's pearls...
