Honest. Confused. Loving....

as evinced by your posts re work and home....

betcha can't encapsulate me that way....

Hmm. I can live with those.

And you haven't given me the opportunity yet to try. :)

warm, soft, compassionate

I'm having trouble deciding if I should take "soft" as a compliment.

You're only the second person to use mommy-language explicitly. That's interesting.

The only reason I feel that stands out particularly is the way you react to abortion, emotionally speaking (from an intellectual point of view, I think you're perfectly rational, so no worries). It's almost as though to you any child or potential child is the be protected and loved as though they were your own. So, in that way, you are maternal. But you don't try to mother the other people around you so far as I've seen.

I can handle that, actually. Part of the reason I posted this meme in the first place was to see how many people would say that. wggthegnoll has remarked on many occasions that I'm "such a mom", and I wanted to find out how many others saw me the same way. Answer: two, but they're two of the ones who know me best in RL, so that's telling.

A bit late to the party, here, but:

Creative.

Determined.

Upbeat.

Frankly, I think all of those are mommy factors. :D Awfully hard job without the above, let's face it...
