quiz: are you a hippie?

Posted on by

Another smart quiz. It’s uncanny how accurate these can be! Prepare to be amazed!


You are a Hippie


You are a total hippie. While you may not wear birks or smell of incense, you have the soul of a hippie.

You don’t trust authority, and you do as you please. You’re willing to take a stand, even when what you believe isn’t popular.You like to experiment with ideas, lifestyles, and different subcultures.

You always gravitate toward what’s radical and subversive. Normal, mainstream culture doesn’t really resonate with you.

quiz: which university are you?

Posted on by

This is hilarious! Based on nothing more than a few superficial questions, this quiz got right to the very core of my being (except the tall part), exposing things which I had killed all witnesses to. Oh, fine, make me start over.


You’re Lomonosov Moscow State University!

Though you’re often cold and depressed, no one can question
your access to knowledge and the creativity that often accompanies suffering.
You see yourself as a varied teacher, sometimes spreading the word of
monarchs, tyrants, or even mere corrupt politicians. Along the way, you’ve
lived an unstable and interesting existence and grown very tall. Now, you’re
in quite a rush. Uh.

Utterly, totally stolen from Vivian Page, who is a much more respectable university altogether.

Sensible Shopper Strikes Again!

Posted on by

Now, I have my good points. Among these is my ability to shop. I’m not just a tireless shopper; I’m not just a savvy shopper; I think it fair to say that I am, in fact and in actuality, an expert shopper. If I can’t get it for you at 50% off or in exchange for something you have lying around the garage, it does not exist.

So, it is a fact universally acknowledged that a savvy shopper at the subsistence level of poverty in possession (however temporary) of a hundred bucks and change, must be in search of some highly practical purchases.

at Winners:

  1. pink lace bra from France $19 marked down from $100
  2. blue lace over green satin bra from France $19 marked down from$95
  3. banal beige utility bra to partially justify purchase of the above $9 marked down from who gives a rat’s ass?
  4. “Olive or Twist,” a book of cocktail cartoons from the New Yorker $5.99 marked down from $39
  5. large wooden sign reading “IMAGINE” $14 marked down from who cares? I had to have it.

additionally:

  1. 1 bottle Jack Daniels for medicinal purposes $28, full price
  2. 1 small bottle Martini & Rossi Italian vermouth for flavouring purposes $7, full price
  3. 1 bottle bitters $9

Yep, nobody can say I’m not a practical shopper! And tomorrow, if there’s any left, I’ll get groceries!
