Do you like walking (alone) at night?
- Yes, I am fascinated by the interactions between strangers that play out before me.
Well... I like walking alone at night. The interactions of strangers do not interest me.
How often do you pursue extracurricular activities outside of work?
- I write, draw, organize, throw pottery, sing, or cycle a few times a week.
- I take classes every so often.
- Not so much these days.
...Don't nonproductive activities count for anything? And what about the extracurricular activities I pursue (stealthily) at work?
And on reread: "organize"? That's an extracurricular activity, but reading isn't?
What is your chosen family?
- Friends.
- Significant other.
- Pets.
I'm down with the "family of choice" concept, but shouldn't "my actual relatives" at least be an option here?
When you go to a bar to meet somebody, whom are you looking for?
The people I arranged to meet? I don't go to a bar to meet new people.
Picking the least totally wrong answers, I got 99. The part where they define the quirkyalone as having "an optimistic spirit" makes me think that their quiz needs fine-tuning. Like, something asking how important it is for you to have a tribe to validate your social life.
Meh. I'm gonna start a site called crankyalone.
I left two yummy roasted chicken legs and fresh lemonade for you, Kat.
I found dating Hell on Earth, full of rejection and awkwardness and embarassment, but I am happier in a happy relationship. For me, it was the rough terrain I had to make my way through to get to where I wanted to be. I knew what I wanted--I wanted real love and a wonderful companion--and to get that, I knew I had to go through all the pain and boredom of dating--years and YEARS of pain and boredom.
But I look over at the BF playing his guitar and I know it was all worth it. (Sorry for the schmoop, but I'm a total sap.)
That just makes me sad. I think schizophrenia hits men in their early 20s, unless it was drugs.
I just assumed it was the drugs. They found pot and oxycodone in his posession.
Over 50% of people suffering from schizophrenia also abuse drugs & alcohol to self-medicate. The Jesus complex sounds more mental illness than drug-induced.
Exactly what Cashmere said. Did you know that schizophrenics are usually chain smokers? The nicotine actually helps control their symptoms.
I'm actually showered and I've taken all my vitamins. This doesn't sound like much, but compared to days when it's practically time to leave and I haven't done that much, it's positively rocket science time.

Yup. My brother is a walking ash tray.
Like Strega, I had to pick the least bad answers. I got a 45. They suspect I'm a quirky-together, which they described as something like a subset of quirky alones who manage to hook up with same.
It's a fair cop.

Also, a "significant other" isn't a friend? That quiz was annoying. But then, I hate the word quirky, so they kind of lost me from jump.
