surely everyone with access to the internet has received an email from a friend encouraging you to "fill out this quiz!" i always fill 'em out, and i'm sick of them always being the same and having some really dumb questions...so i wrote my own and passed it around to my friends.

RESULTS
by far, the most thought-provoking answers i got were in response to the question, "What do you wish your parents taught you, that they totally did not." i also found it interesting that they were so similar. maybe this will be quality info for those of you with children.
- that most people are assholes
- that not everyone has good in them
- to floss
- that i'm good enough
- the importance of education (x2)
- self confidence
- to learn to drive
other answers of note: most of us think of our glass as half-full. this is nice to know! i am one of two who admitted to being half-empty, with one person going a step further to say their glass is 3/4s empty.
most people think drew barrymore is very smart. this is probably something that only i have spent time thinking about. but i was relieved when one of my friends agreed with me that drew's likely a dummy. my favorite answer: "i don't know, but she tries really hard."
2nd favorite answer came from, "What's your favorite kind of music?" with the answer: "The kick-ass kind."
everyone has a uniform.
nose-picking techniques are wide-ranging and even more widely developed. i applaud all who gave me the details.
people were seriously closed-mouth about my favorite question: "what's the grossest thing you ever put in your mouth" answers included: no comment (x4), rocky mountain oysters, chocolate covered grasshoppers. huh. seems like some minds were in the gutter. or just firmly planted in reality.
(ps. this quiz experiment took place in april of last year)
