My Thoughts
It's called quiz your friends. I can understand people not leaving their names. I know who "Jack Care-O-aack" and "lilly" are because of the corresponding email addresses. I do not know who "12345" and "44" are. But, since the link was on the internet, they could be friends in hiding or strangers. It doesn't really matter.
When someone takes your quiz, you get an email informing you of their score. For the first few respondents, I didn't notice the "see friend's detailed results" which tells you what they answered for each question. So, I don't know how all of you answered, but I'm gonna give you the answers anyway. Anyone taking it after today is silly and I expect them to get 100%.
Question 1 What year did I come out of my mommy?
Many people picked 1980. They know approximately how old I am, but not quite. Even people my age (Ali, Janice) picked 1980, but they probably thought I was younger because they remembered me going to High School in Liverpool. I was 19 that year. I was, in fact, born in the 70's and rather enjoyed those last 4 months of the year.
Answer: 1979.
Question 2 What's my middle name?
I didn't really expect many people to get this one. After all, most of you are people I drink with and even IF middles names come up in conversation, who's gonna remember, AND who would know the spelling? One thing is that I LOVE cats, I'm a LEO, and my initials are CAT. So? All my answers started with "A." Many people (including KC) incorrectly picked Ann.
Answer: Anne (I loved Anne of Green Gables as a kid because she always insisted that her name was "Ann-with-an-E."
Question 3 How old was I when I met KC?
There's hints if you knew me back then. I couldn't go to his shows, or upstairs at the Mokka. I get ID'd NOW, so there was no way I was getting in then. Also, if you knew my age and that we've been together 6 years, it's easy math. I don't know what most people picked. Some people remembered I was underage, but they guessed 16.
Answer: 18 He didn't talk to me for a month or two after first seeing me because he THOUGHT I was only 16. When he found out I was almost 19, I was fair game. He took me to the Tickle Trunk and The Seahorse for my 19th birthday.
Question 4 Who is in more than half of my DVD's?
Answer: Owen Wilson I think that goes without saying, if you know me at all. Actually, I got a bunch of movies from my mom for Christmas, so he's probably not in more than half, but he used to be, and he's still in more than any other actor. Ben Stiller's a close second, as he is in most of the movies I have that contain Owen.
Question 5 Which band did NOT include me?
I'm pretty sure everyone got this wrong, but I guess it WAS a trick question. There's been a lot of "hey, there's already a band called The Briefs." I thought some people would remember The Standards, but I guess that was Woodill Street days, so it was before all the Liverpudlians. The Standards were me, Leah L., Tim Dockrill, and Cory Lavender. Our line-up changed a bit to include Holly D. for awhile. We shared a jamspot with Throbbing Problem, which is how I became friends with Mark F.'s girlfriend, Jenn. It's also where I first met Kelly.
Answer: The Briefs I was in A band called the briefs, but those Seattle guys had the name a couple years before us, and we are now broken up.
Question 6 What's my favourite kind of sushi?
The choices actually include my 2 favourite and my 2 most hated kinds of sushi. Many people picked yellow tail (nigiri or maki). I'm thinking that because I didn't specify, they assumed I liked it all. Even people I've gone for sushi with, where I've said "Oh, I don't have enough for everything. I HAVE to get ____ because it's my favourite" picked yellow tail. In fact I hate EVERYTHING yellow tail. Too fishy. Reminds me of that stench in the Mic Mac Mall women's washroom. I also HATE California Rolls.
Answer: spicy salmon roll (Eel nigiri is a close second)
Question 7 What's my favourite beer?
KC accused me of this being a trick question as well. My beer of choice, usually, is Oland's (especially out of the list I provided). However, I will even drink a god damn Keith's, when it's free.
Answer: anything free (like the liquor pig I am)
Question 8 How many email accounts do I have?
Answer: 5 I have my first one, that my mom made me get at the Ceilidh Connection to keep in touch because I'm so fucking terrible with the telephone. Then, I decided to get a new one so I'd have one for friends and one for family. Then I got the internet at home and received my very own sympatico account. Then I went to NSCC, and they forced me to have a school account so they can send me their student council spam (but I have to check it because I get important messages from my teachers sometimes). Finally, I have my pistolwhip email. [Actually, I had a Dal address too, way back when. Mark F. still has his, I wonder if I do too, or if he's special because he actually graduated.]
Question 9 What's my cat's name?
The answer to this question is no longer correct. Last night, KC asked me if it meant my cat's name CURRENTLY. The problem with that is that I have 2 cats now, and both of their names are possible answers. But only one is right.
Answer: Gertie Lydia is now mine as well. Buddy and Puffy are both names of cats of mine that are now dead.
Question 10 Do I like you?
I know, I know. Stupid question that no one should really be able to get right. I didn't know what to put as a 10th question, although I did think of one later. Ling or his String got that one correct. But, you might be able to guess if you use a little logic. Being that it's "quiz your friends" the answer wouldn't be "no", and it might be "yes". But since I don't actually know who the "you" is that is taking the quiz, the answer probably isn't that definite. "I'm not sure" assumes that strangers might be taking it and so I'm not sure what I think of them.
Answer: More than likely
So, I see I've wasted far too much time doing that. But, hey, don't you all feel like you learned a little about me? Especially those of you who didn't take the quiz.
