Pop Quiz!

I love a quiz.

I stumbled across this one, courtesy of Susanne's blog. It all started with this:

What Retro Girl Are You?

Your Inner Retro Girl Is

1950s Pinup

Hmm. Interesting. I wouldn't necessarily have picked that one and I doubt anyone who knows me would have either.

But it was quite flattering all the same.

I decided to make my way down the list of quizzes on the left hand side of the page.

The next one was:

Are You Uptown or Downtown?

You Are Downtown

You're a funky spirit that requires freedom to live. Your city girl persona needs adventure, diversity, and great pizza.

Yes I am, yes I do. Yes it does, spot on, however not entirely sure about the last one. I like pizza but I wouldn't die if I had to live without it.

But it was closer to me than the 1950's pinup, so I was encouraged.

Third one was this little gem:

Who's Your Celebrity Style Twin?

Your Celebrity Style Twin is Nicole Richie

The perfect blend of uptown and downtown.

Yeah. Cos I'm a vapid, anorexic bimbo who spends most of my time spending my adoptive father's hard earned cash and having bitch fights with Paris and Lindsay.

I was starting to doubt the validity of this quiz site.

Until it got good again with this one:

What Style of Jeans Are You?

You Are Low Rise Jeans

You are both sexy and casual - the type of girl who looks hot without really trying. You tend to spark imagination, only showing a peek of your skin.

Better.

But then the sinking feeling I got with the Nicole Ritchie one came rushing back with this one:

What's Your Reputation?

Your Reputation Is: Sweet Girl

While you're well known, there's nothing to worry about. You're reputation is mostly good - as good as any rep can be.

Sure. Uh-huh. Me. Sweet.

I think there's a bunch of people out there in the world who would vehemently disagree with you on that one. Sassy - yes. Cynical - absolutely. Smart mouthed - my middle name. But not sweet. Ewwwwwwww.

I was getting a bit jack of all this hit and miss. Was there a quiz amongst the bunch which would really capture the essence of me?

I was doubtful.

Then I stumbled across the final two. Gold. Pure, solid, shining gold.

Firstly:

What John Cusack movie are you?

Your Life is Like

Better Off Dead...

Excellent.

This is my favourite John Cusack movie of all time. Well, tied with One Crazy Summer. I'm suspecting a lot of you have never heard of either of them, let alone seen them.

Remedy that immediately. They are classics. Both written and directed by Savage Steve Holland. Yes, that is his name. Talented man.

Unfortunately, they're both incredibly difficult to find in the video store. I own a copy of One Crazy Summer on VHS though. Better Off Dead is one of those movies which has been on my Christmas DVD list for years but has yet to be found.

I'm somewhat concerned, albiet secretly stoked, that my life is like Better Off Dead though. There aren't any sadistic paperboys in my neighbourhood that I know of and my mum can cook. She does try and make us all wear ridiculous reindeer ears at Christmas time though...

However the final quiz is the one that really sold it for me. I laughed for about a minute when I saw it, especially as I didn't choose the obvious question which would have linked me to it.

This is me. This is true. My mum will vouch for the number of posters of this person on my bedroom walls, back before any of my friends even knew who he was.

Can you guess?

Who's Your 80's Heartthrob?

Your 80s Heartthrob Is

Jason Bateman

Brilliant.

I loved him then, I love him now. As you may have noticed in a past post.

And doesn't he look cute in that fair isle sweater...

Yep. I love a quiz.
