My latest obsession is taking the quizzes on Facebook. If
you spend any amount of time on the site, you know the ones I’m talking about.
They ask you questions to define your personality which in turn determines
where you should go, what you should do or who you should be. A lesser person
would be quite unsettled by these things but someone like myself…bossy,
boisterous and irritating…I find them hilarious and entertaining. Thus, my
obsession.
As a for instance, I have found that my dominant personality
trait is prudence. Prudence? I think this one is a little off as I am definitely
not tactful, vigilant or circumspect. But then again, neither am I rash nor
reckless. I guess loud and outspoken or nosy wouldn’t be as nice of an answer
as prudence. Perhaps the quiz masters need to be politically correct in their
answers.
They didn’t fare any better with the question of what kind
of storm I am. My answer was ice storm. I am definitely thinking no. My temper
runs too hot and heavy for ice to be anywhere near me. A more apt response for
me would be a fire storm. Or even a hurricane. But ice? No way.
Why I did the quiz about what extreme sport I would try, I
have no idea. Not the extreme sport kind of gal. But my sport, if I so chose to
take the challenge, would be sand kiting. First of all, I have no clue what it
is. Second, the only thing I do in the sand is lay there and soak up the sun.
And lastly? I would definitely be on a zip line if anything. And even that is a
little iffy.
Flirtatious, fearless, factual or friendly? I got fearless.
Now I’m not going to be nit picky here but pretty much all of these (with the
exception of factual) would have fit me just fine. Anyone who knows me can tell
you I am an outrageous flirt and I’m always friendly to anyone who hasn’t
pissed me off in the past (and even then, I forgive and forget easily). I
usually get my facts straight but does that make me factual? Don’t know and it
really doesn’t matter in the long run.
They got it right on the ball with the question of what my
brain is good at. Linguistic thinking. I wouldn’t be much of a writer if it
weren’t, now would I? Although I sometimes have my doubts about whether I am a
worthy wordsmith, I usually get the punctuation correct, rarely misspell
anything and almost always get the grammar goodly. And that’s all that counts
as long as you have an idea in your head to put on paper. Right?
My life song? Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO. Nothing needs to be
added. As long as I know it, that’s all that matters.
They also were correct on what kind of TV mom I am. Peg
Bundy. With a little more brain power though. Granted, if I were Peg, Al would
have gotten hit on the head with a large object long ago and would be residing
on the nearest ocean floor. Maybe
Roseanne would have been a better answer?
My favorite of all the quizzes would be this…Do I have what
it takes to be a millionaire? I. Got. 99%! Yup, the big time. Of course, with
the way things go in my life, I will straddle that 1% until I’m dead and
buried. But if I do make it, the first thing I plan on buying? No, not a car or
a big, fancy house. My first purchase would be a No!No! For those of you who
have no clue what this is…it’s a $280 hair removal thingee. It promises there
will be no nicks or cuts or in my case, gashes. I will be hair free for up to
eight weeks. And I will never again have to rip my hair out by the roots with
hot wax or tweezers. Yessiree, I’m getting a No!No!. It will have to wait until
pigs fly or horses crawl out of my butt but I will have one.
My point in all of this, other than to annoy or amuse you,
is to encourage you to try one of these tests if you haven’t already done so.
They mean nothing but you can get a good laugh out of your answers. Just take
it from me, I wouldn’t steer you wrong.
PS…after I wrote all of this, I learned that my Disney
villain personality is most like Scar from The Lion King and my Pirates of the
Caribbean alter-ego is Will Turner. Oh, and I also have a bipolar disorder. There
really is no point in my telling you this. None at all. Just wanted you to
know.
