Which State Are You?

Man, I've posted a lot this weekend... I must have too much free time on my hands.

I took this quiz for fun, and the results are pretty amusing (4.5 years in Springfield must have done this to me!). Try it yourself and post your results!

You're Missouri!
An admirer of the works of Mark Twain and the steamboat lifestyle, you
are happiest when floating gently down the river. You have a strong sense of
independence, a reverence for saints, and even look up to discredited explorers. With all
these traditional influences, it's no surprise you're at the center of everyone you know,
and are even considered a gateway to the future. If only you could stop drinking the
world's worst beer, you'd be set.

Take the State Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

But Sara, think how much kitschy indie cred you have with that new Sufjan Stevens album celebrating Illinois!

Sea cucumber? My goodness, what in the world did that have to do with your personality? I, personally, came up as the horse in the animal quiz-

"Versatile, powerful, and true, you have quite a reputation for hard work and a certain unbridled spirit. Many look up to you as an example of what people can really become, though somewhere deep down, you admit to feeling a little bit broken. You hate racing, but are still exceptionally good at it."

Funny quizzes!

Did I do this right? It said...
You are from the state of GREED
You were put on earth to make money and by golly, that's what you're going to do. You remain convinced that everything Adam Smith said is literally true and
somehow believe that your self-interest will make everyone else happier, too. Even if it
doesn't, that's not going to make you lose as much sleep as government regulation might.
Though people warn you that your cutthroat business practices and shady kickbacks may
catch up with you someday, you rest assured knowing that once you've secured a monopoly,
there can be no consequences.

I am far from that. My life does NOT revolve around money, in fact, we are broke most of the time. Not living in poverty, but I haven't been shopping for new clothes in over 2 years...pretty scary. You should see my wardrobe...ok, maybe you shouldn't. My daughter says Ambercrombie, and I say, what? Are you nuts?????

Ok, I tried again and answered the first question different and I was given completely different questions throughout...now I'm New York, not much better....

"Well after the rest of the world had moved on, you were still obsessively discussing September 11th. Even now, it feels like it's September 12th to you. Though stuck in this traumatic rut, still unable to sleep, you've been able to continue to pursue some primary interests, such as using public transportation, scraping the sky, and trading stocks. When you trade baseball cards, you make sure to swindle everyone around you and pretend that the system is fair. You feel like you know Hillary Clinton, even though she's a complete stranger."

This is even worse, I'll take the greed state back thank you very much. I don't think this is based on anything "real". And I am not fond of Hillary!
