Do you remember that mock test in one of my previous entries, entitled "The Cactus"? Well I've got another incantation of it, but this time in the form of one of those surveys that asks you tons of quick little questions, including "What Lord of the Rings character would you want to meet in real life?", "What's your favorite colored pencil?", "How many stuffed animals do you have?", etc. Those questions are bland and boring. So I made my own for you to think about and answer, even though some of them are just plain nonsensical. There's no multiple choices and there's no scoring. Keep in mind that I never would have tried to do this had I not started seeing floods of them in most every blog I looked at. It's all your fault.

Credit for a lot of these goes to two others that decided to oh so generously sacrifice some of their time to create unusual questions in order to make this faster for me. You know who you are.
Edit: Okay fine, Liz Wimmer, you shall officially be credited for some of the questions in this giant thing. Which questions they are exactly, I don't really remember.
