Quizzes and memes

[sistermagpie]

Never thought I'd do a political meme, but since I'm so clueless about the subject I went ahead and found out what political persuasion I was. There was a question I hesitated on, though, and depending on my answer I got two different answers so...

You Are a New School Democrat

You like partying and politics - and are likely to be young and affluent. You're less religious, traditional, and uptight than most Democrats. Smoking pot, homosexuality, and gambling are all okay in your book. You prefer that the government help people take care of themselves.

What political persuasion are you?

If I'm not that I'm:

You Are a "Don't Tread On Me" Libertarian

You distrust the government, are fiercely independent, and don't belong in either party. Religion and politics should never mix, in your opinion... and you feel oppressed by both. You don't want the government to cramp your self made style. Or anyone else's for that matter. You're proud to say that you're pro-choice on absolutely everything!

What political persuasion are you?

Also, gacked from go_back_chief because I said I would at the end, but for some reason feel weird about it:

1. When did you first "friend" me?
2. Why did you first "friend" me?
3. What posts of mine do you like to read the best?
4. What would you like me to write about that I don't?
5. Do you think we would be friends in real life?
6. How often do you read my journal?
7. What do we have in common?
8. Will you post this in your journal so I can answer?

I've had a really hard time answering that "Which HP character am I?" meme for anybody else, but I'll add it as a 9th question anyway.

9. If I were an HP character, who would I be?

1. It must have been sometime in februari, when I first got my journal. You were one of the first persons I friended, that I do remember.;-) In fact, the discussions on yours and Ivyblossom's journals were one of the reasons I got an LJ in the first place. The general intelligence level tended to be higher here than on the usual FAP threads. *hides*

2. Well, needless to say I had seen you around in FAP and you always made intelligent posts there, and when I found this journal, I realised there was a lot more where that came from, so how could I not have?

3. I really like most posts you write, because they always offer something to think about. Sometimes I'm too exhausted to answer, but I always read them. Another thing I like about them, is that they always open for discussion. I don't know how you do that, but you do.

4. To be perfectly honest, I have a hard time thinking up something that you haven't already written about. You touch upon a broad range of subjects, I mean. Can you think of something?

5. I wish so, and I don't really see why not.

6. Whenever you update.

7. An interest for children's literature, and analysis, writing... The way we look at characters and themes are also often similar, I find, and I think we share many values, or at least it seems so.

8 Skipping question.;-)

9. Well, as I've said before, this is almost always impossible to say because duh, real persons are more complicated than fictionals, and besides, I haven't seen the way you act. However, if I were to choose one, I'd go for Lupin. Yes, obvious, and unoriginal, because duh, you already said so in an entry, but I remember reading that entry and thinking "yeah, that makes sense."

That's such a good point about not seeing the way people act, isn't it? I mean, I've met a few people off lj and there's always that moment of--whoa--when you've got their lj persona next to their real life persona. My favorite example is always somebody who said I was much bigger on the 'net than I am in real life.

I really like most posts you write, because they always offer something to think about. Sometimes I'm too exhausted to answer, but I always read them. Another thing I like about them, is that they always open for discussion. I don't know how you do that, but you do.

Like I was saying to fictualities, I think I always hope to start a good discussion but it's pure luck when I do. I'm just glad people show up--I think it's the comments that more decide whether it's going to be a discussion or not, you know? Thinking back it seems like sometimes the posts that generate the most discussion are the ones I think are the most basic, if that makes sense. Something I might think of as this new, mind-blowing theory just won't be that inspiring.

I can't think of something I haven't written about either! If I do think of it, I'll probably do a post.;-)
