I took my own Quiz tonight… while I still get a chuckle from the idea of driving around town throwing shit at people, I have to admit that I am not like myself anymore. I didn’t get past the first round.

Time for a new Quiz…

    Kind of funny. I took this when you first posted it and made it all the way to the end. Now I didn’t get past round 2 and yet I think we are better friends than we were when I first took it. Interesting. I wonder what will happen if I wait a few more months and take it again.

    I was unable to take the quiz because Los Angeles and Paris were not offered as places to live.

    So your quiz is weird ’cause sometimes the options are kind of extreme - I can either throw shit at someone or nurture them obsessively (or that’s how it felt… which probably says more about me than my actual answers). It’s an entertaining quiz and a nice way to waste some time when I should be working.

    Anyways, here’s what I found out:

    Lifestyle: somewhat compatible
    Music and Art: somewhat compatible
    Food and stuff: somewhat compatible
    Politics: soulmate
    Religion: soulmate
    Friendship: soulmate
    Romance: somewhat compatible
    Sex: somewhat compatible
    Vice: soulmate
    Extra: somewhat compatible

    My favourite option (although not my method of worship):
    “I worship God by… Cruising around downtown throwing shit at people.”

    Sounds like we got a new occupation on Friday and Saturday nights now doesn’t it? I got a car, what shall we throw?

    I took your quiz the other day. I didn’t copy down all of my “results” but it did say that we should go have sex, which I thought was really funny.
    Gosh, I should have picked “I worship God by cruising around downtown throwing shit at people”. I had to pick being agnostic for lack of anything more suiting to pick.

    i took your quiz once. it told me on one page that you and i should avoid deep conversations, that we are nothing alike, that we are exactly alike, and that we can talk about anything. i was rather confused. but then it said something about sex being a good idea and that we were soulmates…or something like that. and then i just sort of sat back and laughed at the computer and giggled with thought of it.

    section 2, Music: Soulmate
    section 3, Food: somewhat compatible
    section 4, Politics: Soulmate
    section 5, Religion: somewhat compatible
    section 6, Friendship: Soulmate
    section 7, Romance: somewhat compatible
    section 8, Sex: Soulmate
    section 9, Vice: Soulmate (oh. the nice pattern we had going just got ruined)
    section 10, Extra: Soulmate (at least we ended on a good note!)

    yeah. it went like that.
