Backstory
I've been jokingly (I think) been accused of being on speed due to the crazy speed and intensity at which I do things. I feel constantly frustrated because most people don't seem to want to accept that this is the way I'm wired (mother genetics) and that I really have no choice in the matter.

Varies greatly, depending on proximity to people who make me tense. The more tense I am, the busier I am. When I'm relaxed, I'm pretty mellow.Sagacious says,
Life would be sooo much easier if I was like that. I'm absolutely convinced of it.Sagacious says,
Sorry Wench, you caught me on the hop. My comment was in response to hieronimo's remark.Wench says,
I recommend alcohol.Sagacious says,
I tried alcohol, but it never felt quite right. I've become very good at counting to ten, but not so good at walking away.Dragonflower says,
I am low keyed. Most people find me calming to be around, but one person told me that if I didn't talk, move faster they would scream. It was someone I worked with. After that comment, I tried really hard to be different, but it was a huge effort on my part. When I was a little girl, whenever I got excited and talkative, I'd be told, "who wound you up?"Since I'm on the cusp Sag/Cap, I think that wound up part was the Sag surfacing! Sometimes I still feel it.

Both. I move quickly when I move, and am very still when I don't. I talk excitedly and fast when in conversation, but I can sit with a dear one in companionably comfortable silence.I work fast when I work, but I think that's just so I can get more quickly to the point where I can do nothing. :)

Accidental; that's how I am. Both low and high energy. Depends. Also I talk fast and excitedly when I have something important to tell. Walk very fast. My husband always tells me to slow down and talk slower. I always feel that I want to get stuff done. I have no idea why as I have no small children to care for now. I guess I'm hyper.jl333 says,
Ditto what AT said. I'm a little of both, but probably a little more energetic than most.canadafreeze says,
I have been called a whirling dervish - I do not procrastinate and have little patience for those who do. When something needs to be done, I just do it. The hardest thing for me to do is just ... Be.ctgoods2 says,

Might be considered low key except when it comes to cleaning I go a hundred miles a minute trying to get everything done. And plenty of energy when dancing.DynamicDbytheC says,
Guess. It is obvious. High-energy. Sometimes when I am working in the kitchen, James calls me "the little hurricane." Lately, with more stress, I am wired or tired. No middle.Steve__Anthony says,
Low.lillybrook says,
High energy. Definitely. What am I doing with my sub-zero winter day? Well, I came here to write, then I grocery shopped, then I made lunch and washed dishes, then sat in a chair for about 30 minutes before I went insane and started baking. Now, after 6 dozen peanut butter cookies and a loaf of banana bread, I'm back here. People who know me well call me "efficient." I get stuff done.
