What Kind Of Writer?

What kind of writer are you?
I'm fairly sure that should have been really quite obvious. I certainly wasn't going to be a dialogue person in any case.
[insert dialogue rant here]
I hate [hate hate hate hate...] writing dialogue. I never know what my characters are supposed to say unless there's something very specific they're supposed to be talking about. Maybe it's because I, myself, function either as exceptionally monosyllabic or in full babble mode. There's not much in between.
I had a dream last night that my family was playing a strange version of trivial pursuits, and I was trying to say something. I lost my voice I was shouting so loud, but nobody heard me. I'm sure that's one of the classic textbook cases. It probably means a 12 inch goblin dressed as a clown will throw monster sized mince pies at me from the roof of the shopping centre.
And yay, I just came up with an excuse not to go out after all.
