Just Don't Push My Buttons

You Are Relaxed

You're not just patient, you are on 'island time' no matter what you happen to be doing. You refuse to be in a rush or anyone or anything. It's not worth the stress. You'll get there when you get there. Despite your seemingly lackadaisical attitude about rushing, you often get to places early. You leave with enough time. You take everything that happens in stride. As far as you're concerned, very little is worth getting worked up about. If you were a TV channel, you would be Discovery, BBC, or PBS. If you were a cheese, you'd be mozzarella. If you were a store, you'd be Brooks Brothers or Banana Republic. If you were a wine, you'd be Shiraz.

Cheesy Trivia

Did you know Blue Stilton cheese is a trademark protected name and can only be produced in three English adjacent counties? They are: Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. Oddly enough, it cannot be produced in the village that gave the cheese its name because it's not in the three permitted counties.
