Who should you vote for (American elections)?

It's just as well I'm not American, and don't live in the USA. I would have no clue who to vote for. It seems that in America, ethics and politics are bundled together, but not in any package I can actually agree with as a whole.

Here are my very confusing recommendations after rather an interesting quiz:

Who You Should Vote For

Barack Obama: 56%
Mike Gravel: 56%
Ron Paul: 56%
Dennis Kucinich: 50%
John Edwards: 50%
John McCain: 50%
Fred Thompson: 38%
Hillary Clinton: 38%
Mike Huckabee: 38%
Mitt Romney: 25%
Rudy Giuliani: 25%


Who you agree with on the war in Iraq: John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, and Ron Paul

Who you agree with on the economy: Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Ron Paul, and Fred Thompson

Who you agree with on health care: Barack Obama

Who you agree with on taxes: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards

Who you agree with on abortion: Mike Huckabee, John McCain, and Mitt Romney

Who you agree with on gay rights: Ron Paul, Fred Thompson, and John McCain

Are you a hippie?

Quite an interesting quiz, and I thought the results about right:

You're Not Exactly a Hippie...

While you're not a hippie, you've got the spirit of one.
Like most hippies, you have deep beliefs and unusual interests.

You may not buy into hippie fashions, music, or heavy drug use.
But at heart, you are a free spirit and suspicious of the status quo.

What kind of little girl were you?

Thanks to Buffy's Salon for this quiz; not very interesting questions, admittedly, but I liked th results!

What colour crayon?

A slightly strange question, but some interesting questions - and a surprisingly accurate result.

You Are a Green Crayon

Your world is colored in harmonious, peaceful, natural colors.
While some may associate green with money, you are one of the least materialistic people around.
Comfort is important to you. You like to feel as relaxed as possible - and you try to make others feel at ease.
You're very happy with who you are, and it certainly shows!

Your color wheel opposite is red. Every time you feel grounded, a red person does their best to shake you.

What kind of breakfast?

I'm not sure if this is meant to represent the kind of breakfast I would be (if I were a breakfast...) or the kind of breakfast I should eat. It's accurate, anyway, since fruit is what I like to eat best - any time of day, but particularly at breakfast-time.

You Are Fruit

Healthy and sweet, you can appreciate a simple quality breakfast like fruit.
You don't need to put a lot of processed junk in your body... you're happy with what nature provides.
People have probably accused you of being a health nut, but you just like the best simple foods.
You care about what you put in your body. And it shows!

Are you a snob?

Well, I guess this is about right. I can tolerate anything except intolerance... and am not snobby about anyone other than snobs!

You Are Not a Snob

In general, you're a very open minded and kind person.
There really isn't a snobby bone in your body.
You're not afraid to be who you are... you're proud of your individuality.
In truth, you think that snobby people aren't good enough for you!

Are you ruined by American culture?

I'm most relieved to hear this, being a Brit rather than an American (though we did live in the USA for a couple of years in the early '90s)...

You Have Not Been Ruined by American Culture

You're nothing like the typical American. In fact, you may not be American at all.
You have a broad view of the world, and you're very well informed.
And while you certainly have been influenced by American culture (who hasn't?), it's not your primary influence.
You take a more global philosophy with your politics, taste, and life. And you're always expanding and revising what you believe.

What celebrity do you look like?

Thanks to TallSkinnyKiwi for this link.

Well... kind of bizarre that the two faces supposedly most like mine are male! But never mind...

What makes you a good friend?

Well, I did this quiz just for fun - it was only about five or six questions - and was then a bit surprised at the result, which is spot on:

You Are a Good Friend Because You're Accepting

No matter what a friend says or does, you try your best to understand it.
And your friends feel like they can tell you anything. You don't judge.

You know that friendship is a journey - with a lot of ups and downs.
If you and a friend grow apart, you get over it quickly... and leave the potential for future friendship open.

You tend to have many friends from many walks of life. Anyone you meet is could become a friend.
In fact, you are especially interested in people who are a little different than you. Seeing life from another perspective is something you cherish.

Your friends need you most when: They can't turn to anyone else with their secrets

You really can't be friends with: Dogmatic, stubborn people

Your friendship quote: "Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes."

What kind of flower?

Well, this was a bit of an odd quiz, and the description seems a bit exaggerated... but what amazed me was that my name actually means 'a lily'!

You Are A Lily

You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.

Intrapersonal intelligence

This was always supposed to be one of my strengths, in any 'multiple intelligence' questionnaire. So I guess the quiz is about right:

Your Intrapersonal Intelligence Score: 86%

Your Intrapersonal Intelligence is Very High

You've spent a lot of time introspecting, and it's really paid off.
You are comfortable with who you are, and you have a life philosophy that you are happy to live by.
And you're always re-evaluating what you believe. Because you learn something new about yourself each day!

Interpersonal intelligence

Yes, I think this is about right...

Your Interpersonal Intelligence Score: 41%

Your Interpersonal Intelligence is Average

You do well in most group settings, but you also need time to recharge.
So while you can work with people during the day, you may crave your alone time at night.
For you, it's all about balance!

What kind of sandwich?

OK, so this was kind of bizarre, but the results were still remarkably accurate (well, apart from the best friend/worst enemy bit. I love tuna sandwiches and don't like ham at all):

You Are a Turkey Sandwich

Conservative and a bit shy, you tend to stick with what you know and trust.
You are very introverted, and you prefer to blend in whenever possible.
Though you may be hard to know well, anyone who does know you considers you a true friend.

Your best friend: The Ham Sandwich

Your mortal enemy: The Tuna Fish Sandwich

What person in history are you?

Thanks to Merry for the link to this quiz.

Not sure that I like being like Catherine the Great, but the questions were fun with a lot of interesting possibilities for each response. Not really enough of them, though.

You are Catherine the Great.





You are very intelligent and a socialist. It is very important to you that all people be treated equally in a society. You are able to fully comprehend social problems and you are outspoken when it comes to dealing with them.

What poetry form are you?

Thanks to Mama Squirrel for this link!

And yes, I suppose if I had to be poetry, blank verse is about right:


I am, of course, none other than blank verse.
I don't know where I'm going, yes, quite right;
And when I get there (if I ever do)
I might not recognise it. So? Your point?
Why should I have a destination set?
I'm relatively happy as I am,
And wouldn't want to be forever aimed
Towards some future path or special goal.
It's not to do with laziness, as such.
It's just that one the whole I'd rather not
Be bothered - so I drift contentedly;
An underrated way of life, I find.

Optimist or Pessimist?

I never can decide if I'm an optimist or a pessimist. I seem to have traits of both. Sure enough, that's what this quiz seems to suggest:

You Are a Realist

You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass.
You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is...
But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on.
You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope.

Do you have a big mouth?

I'm a fairly private person so it's no surprise, really, that I got this result:

You Don't Have a Big Mouth

In fact, you like to keep your life very private.
You figure that your personal life is no one's business.
And if people try to pry, they'll end up unsuccessful.
You're a big mystery to people - and that's fine by you!

Saturday, March 10, 2007

Can you keep emotions in check?

Yup, I think this one is probably spot on as far as I'm concerned:

You Have Your Emotions in Check

You are an incredibly stable and happy person.
Ever consider being a therapist?
You have figured out how to keep a positive outlook, no matter what.
You don't have an easier life than anyone else. You just have figured things out a little more.

What kind of cake?

Rather a silly test, but fun... and if I must be a cake, chocolate is certainly my preferred option!


You Are a Chocolate Cake

Fun, comforting, and friendly.
You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality.
People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you.
