It’s been a while since I posted a quiz result…

I just took the GSAT — Geek Social Apti­tude Test from Giz­modo.

You Scored a 10 Out Of 50
You’re like James Dean, if James Dean were less attrac­tive, less famous, less rich, alive and inter­ested in gad­gets. You’re a rel­a­tively “cool” per­son, but that’s only rel­a­tive to peo­ple who are seri­ously awk­ward, so don’t go pat­ting your­self on the back just yet. You still read a gad­get site in your free time.

I think I’ve devel­oped a lot of breadth in col­lege, because at a dif­fer­ent point in my life, I would have scored a lot higher.

So I was hav­ing a con­ver­sa­tion with a rel­a­tive about whether democ­racy is the best form of gov­ern­ment, and we got into a debate over the pos­si­bil­ity of a benev­o­lent dic­ta­tor. Do you think such a per­son is pos­si­ble, or does power always cor­rupt over time? Do you think you could be such a person?

Any­ways, I saw a sim­i­lar ques­tion a lit­tle later in the poll’s DND align­ment quiz.

Oh, and I think it’s def­i­nitely eye-opening to see the dif­fer­ing views of your idols exposed. Can truth be vulgar?

Man, a con­tro­ver­sial topic, a sex topic, and the fact that it’s finals week. Those three fac­tors com­bined to cre­ate a com­ment­ing per­fect storm last night on my pre­vi­ous post. If only my more mean­ing­ful posts got responses like that.

Any­ways, I’ve had really, really, REALLY bad seniori­tis for a while, but it’s kicked into over­drive for the last two weeks or so. And appar­ently it’s spread­ing… that’s why I named it the Zaïre strain.

Sorry to every­one that I’ve dis­tracted in efforts to keep myself enter­tained. If your case of seniori­tis is too strong to fight off at this point, here’s a lit­tle some­thing to keep you busy. It’s a word puz­zle that’s pretty dif­fi­cult. Sim­i­lar to a cross­word, but the for­mat is like a brain­storm net­work thingy that you used to get taught back in mid­dle school before you wrote an essay. Jimmy recruited Helen and me last night to help him on it so he could beat Carol, who appar­ently told him about it. I spread it to Aaron L, who is a mon­ster and caught up to Jimmy, Helen, and me within two min­utes of get­ting the link. It’s a fun game. And if you get stuck, bug Aaron L for an answer.

Oh, and at my line din­ner the other night, we were talk­ing about what you’re sup­posed to call a 7th year under­grad like myself. A 4th year is a senior, 5th is a super senior, and 6th is a super duper senior. Does that make me a super duper tru­per senior?
