Sinister: grapefruit

[ian]

here's a little personality test, for all of those who don't have anything
better to do

call it a b&s personality test
call it a deep examination of your inner personality
call it a small green doberman by the name of horace if you must.
actually, no, don't do that..

imagine this situation...
you're at bowlie, recovering from missing the delgadoes and everyone that
played before them, bopping to teenage fanclub (well, wobbling a little to
teenage fanclub while everyone else more or less stood still), dancing to
the first night of northern soul (before that got a little bit old) and
spending the best part of an hour chalet hunting.

you've just tried to go to the beach.  didn't find the exit (duh...its the
big thing marked "exit") and are a little bit on the wet side but you don't
mind because you have lots of booze and a chalet full of people.

a knock comes at the door, some people you don't know enter.  one of them,
unbeknownst to you, is a member of the coolest band on the planet (yeah, in
walked sarah cracknell...i couldn't believe it!  no, not really)
you don't recognise them, but you're being a nice host.  do you

a. put on belle and sebastian, sing along and talk about how much you like
them
b. put on airs, pose a little, strut around drinking vodka, wearing
sunglasses and muttering darkly about your latest recording contract
c. put on a smile, welcome your guests, share your booze with them, offer
them use of your bathroom and make sure a good time is had by all.
d. turn off "the boy with the arab strap" because you're "not in the mood
for it", put on luna, motion incredily indiscreetly to your chalet mate to
hide the vodka, try and offer people beer whilst accidentally throwing it
across the kitchen because you're too pissed to hold onto anything except
the wall...and walk round muttering strange things about duvets.  oh..and
ask the people in belle and sebastian who they've come to see.


scan down to find out your personality type....

a. you are kind, sweet, thoughtful..people hate you
b. you are shallow, thoughtless, pretentious...people admire you
c.  you are just the kind of person people need to balance out the presence
of...

d. you are me.  people cross the street when they see you coming.

fortunately my chaletmates were mostly c's.  or maybe they just seemed cool
in comparison.  so...how many of you were d's?
