"Correct me if I am wrong," he said, "but am I right in supposing that it is a very Blusterous day outside?"
"Very," said Piglet, who was quietly thawing his ears, and wishing that he was safely back in his own house.
"I thought so," said O-wl. "It was on just such a blusterous day as this that my Uncle Robert, a portrait of whom you see upon the wall on your right, Piglet, while returning in the late forenoon from a-- What's that?"
You scored as Owl!
ABOUT OWL: Owl is considered highly educated because he can spell his own name (WOL) and he can even spell Tuesday... although he doesn't always get it right. Owl is a good sort, really, although he can be a bit of a stuffed shirt, and he tends to overlook the smaller details in life - like the fact that his bellpull is actually someone's tail.
WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are confident and you feel capable of dealing with whatever life throws at you. You know that you can handle just about everything... mostly because you know how to delegate the job of actually handling things to the people around you. You aren't one of those Bisy Backsons, who rush around trying to do everything at once. You prefer to stay at home and reflect on life, rather than go out and live it.
Sometimes, you know, you need to stop waiting for things to come to you and go out and get them. You need to go enjoy the weather, smell the fresh air, and pay attention to the little people in your life. They may not be as great as you... but maybe they could use your help.

Indeed, Winnie-the-Pooh will be one of the books in the summer online children's lit class so this does too have something to do with writing the class.
Thanks to Crunchy Granola for the fun.
I always loved Owl. And isn't it nice that blogging turned out to be sort of future class prep, what with you teaching Pooh next summer? :).
Are you going to Cs this year?

Thanks for a wonderful post about Owl - I love the books; I wrote a very short article about 'The Tao of Pooh.' You may be interested.

I'm a WOL, too, which must be a shadow archetype since I identify with Rabbit, the great listmaker. I really have always viewed the Pooh crowd as being archetypal, even in the days before I knew what an archetype was.

not going to the C's this year -- two conferences in June taking all the funding. it also overlapped too much with a local conference and a talk I'm giving and I just saw too much potential tension all around. I'll miss you, both Susan and Joanna!

I came out as Tigger.

And at the end of the weekend.... I came out Pooh!
You scored as Pooh!
ABOUT POOH: Pooh is a bear of Very Little Brain but quite a lot of heart. He enjoys the simple things in life, like visiting friends (in time for lunch), counting honey pots, and going for nice walks. He is a steadfast and loyal friend, and is often much brighter than he thinks he is.
WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are a positive and calm sort of person, and you tend to go with the flow. When things go wrong, you generally find the most practical solution and put things right, with very little worry or fuss. You are a rock that your friends can lean on in times of trouble.
Your attitude towards life is very Zen. You appreciate the small things in life, while still managing not to sweat the small stuff. Your biggest flaw is your tendency to underestimate yourself. You are actually much smarter and more capable than you think you are.

Hey, I'm Owl, too - but with different ratios. Thanks for this fun!
