Are you an Ant or a Grasshopper?

I'm an ant. I work way too much.

A human. We're actually able to keep working through the winter. If, however, I was to not be a smartass I guess I'd say grasshopper.

Alias Irrelevante

A bit of each.

More likely a grasshopper.

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

I'm more like a termite.

Talia, 25
Tallahassee, FL USA

I'm an Ant.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

No, I'm a human.

Karen, 24
Ames, IA USA

Mostly Ant with some grasshopper tendencies.

I am an ant. I like all my little ducks lined up in a row and I hate it when people wait until the last minute to do something.

Definitely grasshopper with latent ant tendancies. My husband is a big ant and is trying to convert me. Financially I totally agree. But sometimes it is wonderful to live for the day.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

grasshopper!

Keri-Jade, 23

Neither, I am a ladybird *nods*

I'm an ant until sunset--and then I turn into a grasshopper.

Neither, I would say I am a combination of an Ant and a Slug...a Slant?...or an Ugh. At any rate, I am definitely not a grasshopper...I am more of a consistent, do what has to be done Ant...but, I am a Slug in the sense that I am a heckuva lot slower than an ant...after all, I have been in the same brain dead job for approximately 2160 days...a ant would go a heckuva lot faster in getting out of here...that is definitely a Slug like pace...but I digress…

well i hate ants so therefore i am a grasshopper.

no seriously i think i am an ant in most ways i guess. even though i am terrified of them. they are so gross.

okay so ant are really strong and can carry a lot of weight. they build things and work together. they communicate constantly with their group.

familywise i am an ant. its what i do in my family and sometimes with friends. bear some of their burdens, help build or rebuild situations and sometimes lives. communication is the biggest job. i need it to see all aspects of the problem and find out where the person is in their life and the situation to figure out the best way to help.

ants stay pretty much near the home base. they travel out but they always return. they dont really lurk to far off. if something happens to the home base they dont move they rebuild.

ants figuratively are cool.

grasshoppers i dont know much about. they make music they travel from place to place.
i would love to travel. i like to jump from project to project finished or not to keep moving. when it comes to learning i like to learn different things instead of just focusing on one area.

being a grasshopper is more lively than being an ant. when it comes to education and a part of dealing with myself i am more like a grasshopper. but i am definitely not a flake.
