Another quiz on the site...

Which book are you?

I'm Anne of Green Gables!
by L.M. Montgomery
Bright, chipper, vivid, but with the emotional fortitude of cottage cheese,
you make quite an impression on everyone you meet. You're impulsive, rash,
honest, and probably don't have a great relationship with your parents.
People hurt your feelings constantly, but your brazen honestly doesn't
exactly treat others with kid gloves. Ultimately, though, you win the hearts
and minds of everyone that matters. You spell your name with an E and you
want everyone to know about it.

I'm Canada!:

People make fun of you a lot, but they're stupid because you've got a
much better life than they do.  In fact, they're probably just
jealous.  You believe in crazy things like human rights and health
care and not dying in the streets, and you end up securing these
rights for yourself and others.  If it weren't for your weird
affection for ice hockey, you'd be the perfect person.

I'm Sudan

Every time you get a headache, you reach for some aspirin, only to realize
that someone destroyed it.  That's just how things are going for you right
now... it's hard to eat, hard to sleep, hard to not have a headache.  You
try to relax, but people always jump on you about something that doesn't
make sense.  If you were a goat, you'd be a Nubian.

Jill

 Hmm. I'm Cuba.

LMAO, I'm Canada. Wierd obssession for ice-hockey indeed!

How posilutely DISGUSTING! It thinks I'm Egypt.

It says I'm Vatican City ~ and I'm not even Catholic!  So not me at all, but
oh, well.  Oh, and if I'm wealthy, how come I can't afford a car let alone a
house phone?

You're Vatican City!
You're pretty sure that you're infallible in all that you do or say, and
it's hard to say whether you're right.  You have a lot of followers, most of
whom will do whatever you say without question, or line up to see you ride
around in your spiffy car.  Religious and reserved, you have some wisdom,
but also a bit much contempt for everyone around you.  You're also
fabulously wealthy, no matter what you say to the contrary.

I'm Cambodia!

Life's been really rough, but it's slowly improving.  You know way too much
about the skeletal structure of humans, mostly from being forced to study
it.  This has given you a fear of many things, most especially the color
red.  The future has to be more promising though, and your greatest
adversary can now never come back to hurt you any more.

Interesting... I'm Egypt:

"You're Egypt!
Curator of ancient mystical secrets, your life on the surface is fairly
typical these days.  Though you are in denial about more things than
most people.  Nevertheless, you're trying to convince people that you're
safe despite your more volatile and unstable times that seem to be
behind you.  You like cats a whole lot."

Deb.

ROFL! I'm the United Nations. Bwahahahahahahaha.

Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely
save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to
go.  You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other,
enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of
beating each other about the head and torso.  Sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result.  But
your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

Ok, there's a lot of truth in this. Except my heart is right here in
Helsinki.

I'm Egypt. But of course ;-)

Has anybody tried the state quiz?  The questions on the others were bad
enough, but one of the questions on that one is, "Which is better, snow or
Bill Clinton?"  What kind of question is that?

Joy

I like being Thailand

Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you
have a long history of rising above adversity.  Recent adversity has led to
questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you
still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers.  And despite any
setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it's called for.  Good
enough to make people cry

But in the book quiz, I"m quite embrassed by being Lolita

Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with sex.
What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in
every way, though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not
sure what causes this desire. Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious
things in your life, and probably gotten caught for them. The names have
been changed, but the problems are real. Please stay away from children.

You're South Africa!
After almost endless suffering, you've finally freed yourself from the
oppression that somehow held you back.  Now your diamond in the rough is
shining through, and the world can accept you for who you really are.
You were trying to show who you were to the world, but they weren't
interested in helping you become that until it was almost too late.
Suddenly you're a very hopeful person, even if you still have some troubles.

How lucky I am...

You're Iraq!
An outcast from all you meet, you have very few friends who haven't
later backstabbed you in some way or another.  And you've made your
share of mistakes... a little torture, a little coercion, a little
stealing, it was all part of a day's work.  It's hard to say if it
deserves the kind of treatment you're getting now, though.  When
people look for someone to point to with a worse life than they have,
they think of you first.

That was fun, Catnipped, thanks for the link.
Unfortunately, now I'm depressed. :-)
Books: I am the dictionary. Not real flattering.
State: This one was uncanny. It turned out to be the state I live in!
My country was Swaziland and the description was also uncannily
familiar
"Small but sturdy, you've maintained your identity in a world where no
one takes you seriously.  You refuse to be absorbed into any
larger social group or
category, no matter how influential they seem to be.  This gives
you an individual
flair that captivates the very few who know you."

I'm Thailand.  How weird is that, considering I live in Thailand.

adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the
threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of

(Laughing) I'm apparently  Bosnia-Herzegovina!

You've just been through a big tragedy.  You weren't sure you were
going to make it at all.  Now that you have, there's a lot to pick
back up in your life, and not enough people are helping you.  You just
wanted a little more freedom, a chance to be away from those who
thought poorly of you.  Now it's time to build up some confidence, and
it looks like you have a good chance at that.  But you'll need a lot
of therapy.

Sounds about right to me.

I am Spain - You like rain on the plain, as well as interesting
architecture and a diverse number of races and religions.  You like to
explore a lot, but sailing, especially in large groups, never really
seems to work out for you.  Beware of pirates and dictators bearing
bombs.  And for heaven's sake, stop running around bulls!  It's just
not safe!

I am also Aldous Huxley's Brave New World - With an uncanny ability for
predicting the future, you are a true psychic.  You can see how the
world will change and illuminate the fears of future generations.  In
the world to come, you see the influence of the media, genetic science,
drugs, and class warfare.  And while all this might make you happy, you
claim the right to be unhappy.  While pregnancy might seem painful,
test tube babies scare you most.   You are obsessed with the word
"pneumatic".

And I am apparently Maryland - You enjoy contemplating your navel so
much that you want to build a whole school devoted to said purpose.
You like Chevy Chase a ton as well, maybe even more than Cal Ripkin
since he started doing those Century 21 commercials.  Mostly, though,
you want to kick back, watch the ballgame, and eat crabcakes.  Brick is
by far your favorite building material.  You might even call yourself a
brick house.

Hmmmmmm.  I don't even know who Cal Ripkin is.  And I could easily live
without Chevy Chase.  The other two have some elements of truth.  ;-)

I nearly fell off my chair laughing when it told me:
"You're France!
Most people think you're snobby, but it's really just that you're better
than everyone else.  At least you're more loyal to the real language,
the fine arts, and the fine wines than anyone else.  You aren't worth
beans in a fight, unless you're really short, but you're so good at
other things that it usually doesn't matter.  Some of your finest works
were intended to be short-term projects."

I AM just under five feet tall in the old measures... think that's short
enough?

I didn't think the book could be worse. But I got
"You're One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!
by Ken Kesey
You're crazy. This has led people to attempt to confine you to a safe
place so that you don't pose a danger to yourself or others. You feel
like you pose a great danger to the man (or maybe the woman) or whatever
else is keeping you down. But most of the time, you just end up being
observed. Were you crazy before you were confined?"

Nope, I'm not game to try the state one, not at any price...

You're Thailand!

Bright & chipper sometimes, maybe.  The rest?  Not so much.

and:

You're Minnesota!
You love hanging out around lakes, even if they're frozen solid. Given
your probable Scandinavian heritage, it all just demonstrates that
you're pining for the fjords. Your obsession with wrestling got a little
carried away for a while there, and this should prompt some serious
reflection about the separation of mind and body. It may be time to
celebrate, even throw your hat up in the air. You're going to make it
after all.

No Scandinavian heritage and I hate wrestling but I love lakes :)
