Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

That's a bummer, msbelle, but certainly seems like a sound plan.

A friend sent me this personality quiz that matches you against various TV and movie characters: [link]

Apparently my closest match was Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower at 85%. That fits, though he was dealing with a lot more trauma than I ever had to.

Willow Rosenberg and Daniel Jackson at 78% each, I was nodding along.

Will Graham at 75%, I guess I can see in that we're studious, socially awkward animal lovers.

JD from Scrubs at 65%—YOU TAKE THAT BACK OR I'M SUING FOR DEFAMATION, PIECE OF CRAP SURVEY!!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ha, Matt!

I found that quiz harder to answer than I would have expected, but I come up 85% Charlie from Lost which I wouldn't have guessed but can't really argue with. 83% Luna Lovegood which seems fair. Also 83% Jesse Pinkman which I hope not but I can see the argument. Aw, 82% Mozzie from White Collar, I did always like him. 81% Klaus which is another weight tipping the scale towards WATCH THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY so maybe I'll start that this weekend. Heh, 80% for both Lilo and Stitch, that's pretty good. 78% for both Ophelia and Penelope Garcia, seems odd to match up with both of them. Also 78% Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club which should probably be higher

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

91% match to Egon Spengler. Hah!

It is a sign from the universe.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I don't know some of these:

Lois Lane (Smallville) 93% - didn't watch
Donna Pinciotti (That 70s show) 87% - seen a few eps
Misty (Pokemon) 86% - seen a lot, but really no idea who any of them are
Chloe Sullivan (Smallville) 86% - 2 people from Smallville, really??
Veronica Fraser (Shameless) 86% - have not seen

I didn’t know 5 of my top 6, I think, and a large proportion of the rest. They cast a wide net fir characters, which I appreciate

My top 2 were Leonard and Raj from Big Bang Theory, which is not that far off, I suppose. I think it's because I scored "Awkward" at 100%.

Ben Wyatt from Parks and Rec and Chidi from The Good Place weren't too far down the list, either. I am an awkward supernerd.

Steph, I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this. It sounds so terrifying. But you have a plan. Hang onto that.

Best of luck.

I'm emailing with a friend in LA about meeting up somewhere on the central coast in early October for some downtime. Pretty sure I'm gonna push to go to the Madonna Inn. They have a spa, and a hilltop hot tub, and horses, and hiking trails, and a steakhouse. What more could one need?

Awww, that's a great character.

81% Klaus which is another weight tipping the scale towards WATCH THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY so maybe I'll start that this weekend.

Again, Klaus is Matilda's Woobie.
