So, I’ve had a few questions from various corners about the results of the survey from earlier in the week – what the results were like, what my ideal answers are, whether or not anybody came close.
For the first question, as indicated in the same post, I’m hoping for cute, sane and nice. Out of all of the respondents, the only one that chose all three of these also chose every possible option, thereby skewing the data unreliably. So let’s just go with 0%. I don’t attract sane or nice people, it seems, and that explains so much.
The Beatles is an overwhelming favorite, with only two respondents declaring Elvis and one casting a vote for Elvis Perkins.
Almost everybody was a nerd, with only one supercool person protesting too much and saying no.
Which brings us to the wolf question, which is a reference to, for those not in the know, this piece of apparel (read the reviews!). Most answers were – thankfully, because I know most of the respondents – 0, but one unfortunate has 1-3 wolves in her closet and another who, based on her aggregate answers, may actually be my soulmate, says “Never Enough.”
I find it ironic that, when asked to define irony, only one person comes through and gives me the Reality Bites quote that I was looking for (go you!). Many others shared either Alanis Morrissette lyrics or embarrassing personal moments of irony – many of which were song-ironic but not for-real-ironic. Best answer? “Like silvery or bronzey, only with iron.” There were also three “I don’t knows,” one of which turned out to be ironic in and of itself after some followup in the comments.
And the Madea question? You are all what Corky St. Clair would call “bastard people,” the way you’re so mean to poor Madea. Many of you want to send her to either Jail or Hell (where she will presumably sass the devil). The same erudite lady who selected Elvis Perkins in the musical question here admits that she doesn’t know what Madea is but is familiar with the Greek tragedy Medea, which gets bonus points in my book.
And unsurprisingly, many of you were in the “No, Sir” camp on the Reagan question, except for the one person that I know that would name him “The Greatest.”
So, what have I learned? Well, other than that I surround myself with toxic, Beatles-loving people, I don’t know. And that first part I knew already, too. So yeah.

That’s it? I was hoping you’d convince one of your associates to put together a shiny infographic displaying a breakdown of the information.
Anyway, I expect there to be an upcoming blogpost about movie screenings a la MST3K but classier, savvy?
I’m waiting to get things nailed down completely before I make a grand announcement about that thing that you’re gamely attempting to be subtle about.
Wow, I’m somewhat impressed. Due to repeated insistence by more or less everyone I know, I’ve given up on the idea that I am ever subtle.
I’m told that I’m somewhere between bluntly or brutally honest. Brian insists I’m tactless.
I’m ugly, you don’t love me AND I’m “unfortunate”? Barf.
You’re never going to let that go, are you? ;)
I don’t see any good reason why I should, specially when you just keep adding on to it.
