i didn't feel like writing anything of substance, anyway, so thanks to dave for pointing me in the direction of this quiz which revealed which letter i'm most like:

So which letter of the alphabet matches YOUR personality, huh?

that's pretty accurate, i think. then i found a bunch more thanks to my queen of quizzes. it's brilliant that the poet quiz tells you "If you see more than one poet listed below that is because you displayed an equivalent amount of traits of more than one poet. Just pick your favorite one to show the world or list them all!" how remarkable to be informed that i display an equivalent amount of traits of these two:

You are Sylvia Plath
No matter how much you struggle, you can't manage to shake off depression. You use symbolism to express yourself and have a knack for getting the most out of gas ovens.

Take the Which Poet are You? Quiz - brought to you out of boredom and pretention!

You are e.e. cummings
Your use of the English language is not bound to any grammatical or even logical standards. You live your life with rhythym and passion and find yourself constantly searching for meaning by traveling or in new relationships.

and then this one made me laugh:

Which Musketeer Are You?

i swear i've taken this quiz before, but sod it. i took it again. i got the link from m. this time around. i seem to recall that i was dinky the other time, too.

Which Winona Are You?

i've only seen this movie once. i remember that she took care of a bunch of stray animals, which of course i thought was brilliant, but it seemed like everyone needed to lay off dinky and just let her be dinky. i don't remember any lesbo thing, but then again it's been a long time since i've seen the film. i bet it was the "people often mistake me for a lesbian, but i'm really just a tomboy" choice that cemented it.
