Lisa Marie Takes 6 Random Quizzes

Okay, so this is what happens when I don’t get enough sleep the night before and don’t have any major “ah ha” moments during the day. I ened up taking silly random quizzes on the Internet and posting the results.

Now, to be honest, I usually have a tendency to try to find the most sordid, potentially TMI tests possible. However, tonight, I decided to keep things fairly tame by taking the following quizzes:

What age do you act? (My actual age, by the way, is 25.)

You Act Like You Are 15 Years Old

You are a teenager at heart. You don’t quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don’t feel like a kid. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. You’re quite rebellious, and you don’t like being told what to do. You like to do things your way. You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life.

Do you follow your head or your heart?

You Follow Your Heart

You’re romantic, sentimental, and emotional. You tend to fall in (and out of) love very quickly. Some may call you fickle, but you can’t help where your emotions take you. You’ve definitely broken a few hearts, but you’re not a heartbreaker by nature. Your intentions are always good, even if they change with the wind

What personality disorder are you? (To be honest, a better question would probably be which personality disorder aren’t I?)

You May Be a Bit Borderline…

Your mood swings make a roller coaster look tame! When you’re up, you’re a little bit crazy… And when you’re down, your whole world is crashing Scary thing is, these moods can change by the minute!

Are you a feminist?

You Are 91% Feminist

You are a total feminist. This doesn’t mean you’re a man hater (in fact, you may be a man). You just think that men and women should be treated equally. It’s a simple idea but somehow complicated for the world to put into action.

How Irish are you? (The technical answer, by the way, would be that I’m a fourth Irish. I’m also a fourth Italian, a fourth German, and a fourth Basque. Of course, most people would probably just say I’m a country girl from Texas.)

You’re 80% Irish

Congratulations, you’re a shining example of an Irish lass (or lad). There’s hardly anyone more Irish than you!

How cluttered is your mind? (Very cluttered, I imagine.)

Your Mind is 86% Cluttered

Your mind is incredibly cluttered. You have so much going on in there, it’s hard to think straight. Consider talking to a therapist. It’s a good idea to sort through your thoughts, if only to see which ones are worth hanging on to.

Hopefully, I’ll have an ah ha moment tomorrow because I’m not sure how many more of these quizzes I can take before I start taking them way too seriously.

Fear of Bieber

Yes, this is another one of those silly and ultimately pointless online surveys that, for whatever reason, give me so much joy.

I have to admit though that I’ve noticed a disturbing trend whenever I go searching for silly online surveys.  Along with the expected purity tests, when-will-you-die predictions, and “who is your celebrity boob twin” reports, I’ve discovered that all of my favorite quiz sites have been infected by thousands of different surveys all concerning one human being.

That human being is Justin Bieber.

Every site I go to now seems to be full of surveys designed to let me know just how likely it is that I will some day end up as Mr. Lisa Marie Bieber.  What’s disturbing is that, if the surveys are to be believed, the chances are pretty good.

Now, to be honest, I have no desire to marry Justin Bieber.  First off, I don’t know that I ever want to get married, secondly, I tend to prefer older men and third, from what I’ve seen on TMZ, he kinda sorta appears to be a little dumbfug toadsucker.

Still, it disturbs me that I’m going to be 25 on November 9th of this year and already, I find myself thinking “What’s wrong with kids today?”  When did I become an adult and why didn’t anyone warn me ahead of time?

Anyway, considering that I’m apparently getting older, it’s perhaps appropriate that I took a survey of my fears.

Lisa Marie’s Proust Questionnaire

I used to love to read the Proust Questionnaires that would appear in the back of Vanity Fair magazine.  The questionnaire, which was popularized by the French writer Marcel Proust, is made up of 20 questions that, when answered, are supposed to reveal who you are as a human being. 

Vanity Fair, of course, always enlists some celebrity to answer the Proust Questionnaire and occasionally, they make for interesting reading.  After you read enough of them, you come to realize that the Proust Questionnaire doesn’t so much reveal who someone is as much as it reveals who that person wants you to think he or she is.  The Questionnaire is less about the real person and more about the various personas that all of us — famous or not — tend to adopt in order to survive from day-to-day.  The Proust Questionnaire is ultimately less about who we are and more about who we think we are.

Anyway, I’ve always wanted to fill out the Proust Questionnaire myself so that’s what I’m going to do right now.  Who needs Vanity Fair when you’ve got wordpress, eh?

(I should add that what I’m answering below is Vanity Fair’s version of the Proust Questionnaire.  Much like the purity test, there’s several different versions.  By the way, the last purity test I took said I was still 6% pure so yay me!)

Lisa Marie Bowman’s

Proust Questionnaire

1) What is your idea of perfect happiness?

For me, perfect happiness would be to live in a nice, spacious loft with a movie theater and a used book store located on the floors below me.  I’d spend my days writing and/or reading and my nights at the movies.  Every weekend, I’d throw a huge party that would inevitably end up with all of my friends hanging out on the roof into the long hours of the night.  And then, once I got bored with the party, I would say, “Go home!” and everyone would have to leave.

2) What is your greatest fear?

Becoming a boring, bland, anonymous person who settles for security at the cost of my own independence.

3) Which historical figure do you most identity with?

Sylvia Plath.

4) Which living person do you most admire?

There’s actually three and I admire and love them all far too much to rank one over the other.  They are my three older sisters — Erin, Melissa, and Megan.

5) What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

Far too often, I’m self-centered, selfish, moody, and way too needy.

6) What is the trait you most deplore in others?

Banality.

7) What is your greatest extravagance?

Life.

8 ) On what occasion do you lie?

On occasions that I’m later ashamed to remember.

9) What do you dislike most about your appearance?

My nose.

10) When and where were you happiest?

The summer after I graduated high school, traveling through Europe and especially Italy.

11) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I would allow myself to let go of all the anger and sadness that has built up inside me over the past few years.

12) If you could change one thing about your family, what would it be?

My mom would still be with us.

13) What do you consider to be your greatest achievement?

I’m alive, stable, and independent.  I’ve never given into the temptation to just settle for what everyone claims will make me happy.

14) If you died and came back as a person or thing, what do you think it would be?

If God likes me, I’ll come back as a cat.  If he doesn’t like me, I’ll come back as myself but with an even larger nose.

15) What is your most treasured possession?

My mind.

16) What do you regard as being the lowest depth of misery?

Being anonymous and forgotten.

17) Who are your heroes in real life?

My sisters.

18) What is it the you most dislike?

Being talked down to.

19) How would you like to die?

I wouldn’t. 

20) What is your motto?

Stay supple.

 

I have never…

For some reason, I have never been able to resist an online survey. Those who have followed me long enough on twitter might remember that, when I first created my account last year, I used to take close to 40 personality quizzes a day and then tweet the results.

(And though many of those quizzes were ultimately rather pointless, I did occasionally learn something about myself. For instance, I discovered that I’m a good kisser, a Libertarian, a Deist, and that I am apparently Angelina Jolie’s boob twin.)

But for whatever reason, I still love tracking down and doing those stupid little quizzes and tests that I used to take so seriously just a few years ago. Maybe it’s my way of fighting back against the fact that I’m not a little girl anymore, that I’m an adult who has to deal with the real world. Or maybe I’m just looking for an excuse to talk about myself.

Who knows?

Last night, before I went to bed, I took the time to do the following quiz. The quiz itself is a variation of the I Have Never game. Looking over the results, I don’t really know that they say much about who I am as much as they just simply reflect the fact that I’ve never slept on broken glass. Do the experiences make us or do we make the experiences? I sincerely hope it’s the second one.

(One last sidenote: Just from going by this quiz, it might sound like I have a tendency towards shoplifting. This could not be further from the truth. It’s just something I used to do…)
