Here's what I got, damn it ...

You're Prufrock and Other Observations!
by T.S. Eliot
Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons

I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear my trousers rolled ... Fair enough but I'm ending not with a whimper but a bang.

[mousepod]

You're Catch-22!
by Joseph Heller
Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of people.

[Moonliner]

You're Anne of Green Gables!
by L.M. Montgomery


WTF?

I look terrible in pigtails.


Ps. Please don't ask how I know that...

[Snowflake]

Ps. Please don't ask how I know that...

Oh, I must ask......how do you know that?

As for me, WTF, I'm extremely dull. Sheesh even my friends won't tell me!

You're Waiting for Godot!
by Samuel Beckett
Many people think you're extremely dull, but you're just trying to patient. Really patient. Patient to the point of absurdity, quite frankly. Whatever you're waiting for isn't going to just come along, so you can stop waiting. I promise. Move on with your life. Change of scenery might do you good. Heck, any scenery might do you good. In the meantime, you do make for very interesting conversation.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

You're Anne of Green Gables!
by L.M. Montgomery


It's a conspiracy, I tell ya. ( I don't look too bad in pigtails)

[Moonliner]

Oh, I must ask......how do you know that?


Honeymoon, the Caribbean, A pirate cruise (http://www.geographia.com/antiguanews/messages/10/4987.html?1164307120), A limbo contest, and Rum. Why is there always rum?

And that's ALL you will ever get out of me on that subject.

[Ponine]

You're Watership Down!
by Richard Adams
Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.




Hmm... it didnt ask me about squirrels.

[Capt Jack]

You're Mother Night!
by Kurt Vonnegut
Nobody knows what to believe about you, and you know least of all. You spent most of your time convinced that the ends justify the means, but your means were, well, downright mean! And the end is nigh. Meanwhile all you want is to travel back in time, if not to change, then to just delight in the way it used to be. You are who you pretend to be. Oh yes, you're the great pretender.


uh....really?

You're Siddhartha!
by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in. This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in ferries.

[Stan4dSteph]

You're Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!
by Lewis Carroll
After stumbling down the wrong turn in life, you've had your mind opened to a number of strange and curious things. As life grows curiouser and curiouser, you have to ask yourself what's real and what's the picture of illusion. Little is coming to your aid in discerning fantasy from fact, but the line between them is so blurry that it's starting not to matter. Be careful around rabbit holes and those who smile to much, and just avoid hat shops altogether.

[AllyOops!]

You're The Dictionary!
by Merriam-Webster
You're one of those know-it-all types, with an amazing amount of knowledge at your command. People really enjoy spending time with you in very short spurts, but hanging out with you for a long time tends to bore them. When folks really need an authority to refer to, however, you're the one they seek. You're an exceptional speller and very well organized.

Damn, I was hoping that I'd get the Sweet Valley High series. :p

I was fortunate enough to win Spelling Bees & I do have a serious addiction to crosswords puzzles. And Text Twist. And the word games at Merriam-Webster.com, which I have bookmarked. I'm definitely hot for spelling (and I don't mean Tori- although I'm a huge fan of hers & 90210 ruled). Crossword puzzles alone give me multiple wordgasms.

However, I really take offense to the "boring" part. I mean, yeah- my posts put me to sleep, too, but still. ;)

[Morrigoon]

And realize that at least you believe in ferries.
Feh, not me man. I believe if you're going to live on an island you can bloody well stay there until you build an airport!

[Morrigoon]

You're The Guns of August!
by Barbara Tuchman

Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what
causes war. You're out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what they
really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealing
with what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in
the world. A fitting motto for you might be "Guns do kill, but so can
diplomats."

[blueerica]

I got this, however I could have answered just about every question a different way:

[scaeagles]

I'm The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner.

The thing that really stood out in my synopsis....

Ultimately, you signify nothing.

Great.

[katiesue]

Oh Yay -

You're Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!
by Mark Twain
With an affinity for floating down the river, you see things in black and white. The world is strange and new to you and the more you learn about it, the less it makes sense. You probably speak with an accent and others have a hard time understanding you and an even harder time taking you seriously. Nevertheless, your adventurous spirit is admirable. You really like straw hats.

[Kevy Baby]

My 22 has been caught

[Babette]

If I was a movie I'd have an awesome theme song. If I was a theme park ride I'd have CoasterMatt's Dream ears...

You're Jurassic Park!
by Michael Crichton
You combine all the elements of a mad scientist, a brash philosopher, a humble researcher, and a money-hungry attracter of tourists. With all these features, you could build something monumental or get chased around by your own demons. Probably both, in fact. A movie based on your life would make millions, and spawn at least two sequels that wouldn't be very good. Be very careful around islands.

[Alex]

Apparently I'm mousepod.

That means one of us is a sock puppet.

[Scrooge McSam]

You're Brave New World!
by Aldous Huxley
With an uncanny ability for predicting the future, you are a true psychic. You can see how the world will change and illuminate the fears of future generations. In the world to come, you see the influence of the media, genetic science, drugs, and class warfare. And while all this might make you happy, you claim the right to be unhappy. While pregnancy might seem painful, test tube babies scare you most. You are obsessed with the word "pneumatic".

That's what I got, too. Yeah, right.:rolleyes: Stupid questions...

[wendybeth]

You're Animal Farm!
by George Orwell
You are living proof that power corrupts and whoever leads you will become just as bad as the past leaders. You're quite conflicted about this emotionally and waver from hopelessly idealistic to tragically jaded. Ultimately, you know you can't trust pigs. Your best moments are when you're down on all fours.




:D

[CoasterMatt]

You're Lolita!
by Vladimir Nabokov
Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every way, though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not sure what causes this desire. Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real. Please stay away from children.


:evil:

[Not Afraid]

You're Godel, Escher, Bach!
by Douglas Hofstadter
Despite being interested in things like mathematical theory and the secret lives of numbers, you're actually quite popular. You carry on great dialogues, though you keep asking people about their heel. When faced with a flight of stairs, you always have great difficulty knowing where you'll end up, and have been known to consult a calculator. Despite these oddities, what you say is relevant to the future. Though the day Deep Blue beat Kasparov, you sure were surprised!

My Father in Law would be proud.

[Prudence]

I can't get past the first question.

[Chernabog]

You're "Master Harold"... and the Boys (by Athol Fugar)
Even though you should have realized it for years, you're only just
starting to understand how bad your society is. It's been keeping some of your best
friends down for ages, and even you have been complicit with this system. When you
make a mess, someone else is quick to clean it. When you need help, someone else is
quick to your rescue. But when they point out injustice, you've pulled the wool over
your eyes. Until now. If you ever need a cast, it will be small.


Ummmmmmmm Master Harold and the Boys? Is that a Falcon video?

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

You're The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner

Strong-willed but deeply confused, you are trying to come to grips
with a major crisis in your life. You can see many different perspectives on the issue,
but you're mostly overwhelmed with despair at what you've lost. People often have a hard
time understanding you, but they have some vague sense that you must be brilliant
anyway. Ultimately, you signify nothing

[Tom]

You're Loosely Based!
by Storey Clayton
While most people haven't heard of you, you're a really good and interesting person. Rather clever and witty, you crack a lot of jokes about the world around you. You do have a serious side, however, where your interest covers the homeless and the inequalities of society. You're good at bringing people together, but they keep asking you what your name means.

I expected there to be more questions.

And no one's ever asked me what my name means.

[JWBear]

You're The Mists of Avalon!
by Marion Zimmer Bradley
You're obsessed with Camelot in all its forms, from Arthurian legend to the Kennedy administration. Your favorite movie from childhood was "The Sword in the Stone". But more than tales of wizardry and Cuban missiles, you've focused on women. You know that they truly hold all the power. You always wished you could meet Jackie Kennedy.

It was a good book.... But.... whatever.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I can't get past the first question.So that makes you....indecisive.


As for me.... :eek:

Geez, didn't think I was that bad.

[JWBear]

What does that make GD?

[Cadaverous Pallor]

What does that make GD?The luckiest man on earth?

[Not Afraid]

GD's new name is Humbert Humbert.

[Prudence]

Since my concision varies widely with what I'm doing, I've answered the quiz both ways. So, I am either:

Ulysses by James Joyce
Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

Or I am:

Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
To you, the learning process is inherently about controversy. If people aren't having their minds stretched, how could they possibly be learning? This makes you a good but unpopular teacher, and the people around you are ready to make it a federal case. All you're asking them to do is evolve a little. But they would like you to be more creative. You would make an excellent lawyer, even though people think you love monkeys.

I'm a Norton Anthology!

[tracilicious]

You're The Fellowship of the Ring!
by J.R.R. Tolkien
Facing great adversity, you have decided that your only choice is to unite with your friends and neighbors. You have been subject to a ton of squabbling and ultimately decided that someone humble is your best candidate for a dangerous mission. You're quite good with languages and convinced that not all who wander are lost. If you see anyone in black robes on horseback, just run. That's just common sense.

[CoasterMatt]

Weird, I've been accused of being the same person as Kevy Baby, but this is the first time I can recall being accused of being CP...

[SacTown Chronic]

You're Love in the Time of Cholera!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff could get you killed.

[Gemini Cricket]

Prufrock.
