Compatability Quiz Time

Remember those quizzes in YM or Seventeen- the answers were so obvious as to which was the best, or "you're doing okay", or "um, you really need some help".  I love more adult versions of those quizzes though, like Myers Briggs (I'm an ENFP, what about you?). 

And then there's my favorite section of Vanity Fair- the Proust Questionnaire.  Such pressure!  You don't want to be the dud celebrity with the trite answers, do you?   I also love "My Stuff" in Vanity Fair.

Mmm, I always try to imagine how mine would sound- "Mascara- none, Andrea Lash #53 falsies".  "Nail Polish- Toes always OPI Thrill of Brazil, fingers usually pink, like Jackie O. said"  "Pet- Golden Retriever" "Sheets- must be white 400 thread count"  etc.

Anyway, when I was skipping my workout, and stressing but not sleeping this morning I came up with my own quiz.   A compatibility quiz of sorts.

Ready?

1.  Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
2.  Movies in the Theater or at Home?
3.  Bath or Shower?
4.  Early Bird or Night Owl?
5.  Feline or Canine?
6.  Sweet or Salty?
7.  Inside or Outdoors?
8.  Homebody or Socialite?
9.  Beach or Mountains?
10.  Favorite:
  • Food
  • Book
  • Season
  • Top Five Albums if you are stranded on a desert island (no best-of compilations please).
11.  Cow or Pig?
12.  Spice or Sass

I have no idea what that last one means.  I just wanted to end on an even number.  Happy Friday!  Can't wait to read your answers!

    •Food - I could never choose between my favorites: eastern NC bbq and collards; pasta; chips/salsa/guac.

    •Book - There's no way I could ever pick one, but I do reread Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer every year, which says a lot.

    •Season - Fall

    •Top Five Albums if you are stranded on a desert island (no best-of compilations please).

    Ack. Imposible, amiga! Maybe I'd choose albums that would take me back to a particular time and place (all the more memories to relive until getting off that island).

    - The Queen is Dead, The Smiths. The soundtrack to disaffected suburban youth.
    - August & Everything After, Counting Crows. The soundtrack to college all-nighters.
    - Oh, Inverted World, The Shins. The soundtrack to stoning out in graduate school.
    - Alligator, The National. The soundtrack to falling in love with Trevor.
    - Moondance, Van Morrison. The one album that I can say with certainly I listened to during each of those times in my life.

    Both, obvs... just like you, my dear!

  17. Samma, you'll be delighted to know that on my long drive to NC yesterday, I couldn't decide what music to play, and then thought 'Wait! I'll play my five deserted island albums from Samma's blog!' Then I made the executive decision to replace The Shins' Oh, Inverted World with their album Chutes Too Narrow for my island choice... hope it's okay to switch on you ;-)
