A New Idea!

I felt so guilty by leaving off like that- I couldn't have that post be my accomplishment of the day.  That's not the way to endear this blog to people.  So...
Without further ado...(this is a lot of further ado)
Let me present my EXTRA post of the day!
(I've been sitting here thinking for a while because I couldn't think of a good subject for an extra post.  This is why I need feedback.  I'm too much like Harriet Smith for my own good.)
But I FINALLY thought of a subject: A quiz!  It's a little too early in this blog's history to be asking for people to join.  BUT I do want attention (to this blog, anyway) and I thought a quiz would be a good idea.  I love personality quizzes myself, so let me introduce:
Which Jane Austen Heroine Are You? quiz.
There are so many of these out there that it's kind of pointless to make another one, but I like taking lots of these.  I tried to make it somewhat unique, though.
Without further ado (again!), here are the questions:
 

       1. You are listening to music.  It is:

a)      Over-the-top, dramatic opera.

b)      Whatever the rest of the family is listening to.

c)       Any sort of good quality music- you aren’t picky.

d)      Adventurous, scary music!  Anything exciting!

e)      Sweet, low music- maybe cello or viola.  Or oboe.

f)       Ridiculous, redundant music that you can make witty remarks at.

g)      You wanted to listen to classic, but your sister likes country, so…

h)      You just like changing the channels.  It gives you a feeling of power…

      2. Your mom or dad tells you to wash the dishes.  You:

a)      Don’t really want to, but you’ll just do it fast and get it over with.

b)      Sure!  You love your dear family.

c)       Do it, and break half the plates while daydreaming about wild adventures.

d)      Oh, you’re so glad you can be helpful!  You don’t deserve such kindness.

e)      Are undecided as to whether you should dramatically protest or be saintly and do it without complaint.

f)       Do it.  Chores first, pleasures later.

g)      No way!  You can get one of your many devoted friends to do it for you.

h)      Why not? You can chat with your sister, who rinses the dishes.

      3. Somebody breaks a little bracelet you made in first grade.  What do you do?

a)      Clean it up and throw it away.  It wasn’t much use; it was just gathering dust.

b)      You didn’t deserve the opportunity to make it anyway.  You clean it up immediately.

c)       You’re sure it was just an accident.  You liked that little bracelet, but you can forgive.

d)      Burst into sobs and carefully gather the remains of it into your arms.  Later, you hold a private funeral service for it.

e)      Make a clever joke to ease the tension and then clean the bracelet up.  Any slight pangs you might have felt, you quickly amuse them away.

f)       Oh, dear!  The person who broke it MUST be a villain in disguise.  How could they be so cruel otherwise?

g)      The person broke it because he was staring at my beautiful friend.  He must be in love!

h)      You want to cry, but it doesn’t really matter, you suppose.

    4. You break your arm while playing alone in the yard.  What do you do?

a)      Control the pain and march into your house as fast as you can to call the doctor.

b)      HOW adventurous and daring of me!

c)       Go into the house crying quietly and call the doctor yourself; your family is away.

d)      Stagger into the house, exaggerating the pain as much as possible.  Once inside, you collapse into a chair and faint.

e)      Go into the house and call the doctor yourself; you don’t want to worry your family.

f)       Walk into the house as quickly as possible.  Your sister is alarmed and calls the doctor right away, and you make clever remarks to stop her from worrying.

g)      Go in as fast as you can, call the doctor, and then make a splint for yourself while you’re waiting.

h)      Sit down and cry outside because you don’t want to cause your family trouble.  Eventually someone finds you and calls a doctor, while you’re quietly protesting and blushing as hard as you can.

     5. You’re walking outside and you’re at least a mile from your house when it starts to downpour.   You don’t have an umbrella.  What do you do?

a)      Take shelter in a nearby building or under some trees until the downpour stops.  Then go home and change into dry clothes.

b)      Immediately walk home, covering your head the best you can.

c)       Wait under a tree and find humor in the situation until the rain stops.

d)      You wouldn’t dare take shelter in somebody’s house, so you walk home immediately.

e)      Walk home, but stay outside until somebody brings you towels.

f)       Work yourself into a fit about lurking bandits and evil storm spirits.

g)      Walk home and dry up the best you can, not wanting to trouble anyone.

h)      Oh, how romantic!  How grand!  You run around in the rain, glorying in the wet, until your sister comes out to look for you and drags you back to the house with the makings of a bad cold.

      6. The attribute you wish you had is:

a)      The means to travel.

c)       That guy who swears all the time and tries to break up my outings with friends.

d)      I shouldn’t tell you, it would be improper.

e)      The relation who always tells me I’m not as good as s/he is.

f)       Nobody’s my enemy.  I’m not worth it!
