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.
;)

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!

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."

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

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.

I'm The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner.

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

Quote:

Ultimately, you signify nothing.
Great.

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.

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.

Apparently I'm mousepod.

That means one of us is a sock puppet.

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".
