"How Self-Obsessed & Emotionally Needy Are You?"

I loathe "Blogthings" ... no wait! This requires caps and bold (I'd underline it too if I could figure out how to! :/) I LOATHE "BLOGTHINGS"!!!

I don't have MySpace but some of my friends have it and they're nearly all plastered with these inane and pointless ... what are they even? Tests? Quizzes? Exercises in futility?

They're one of my pet peeves. They make me want to write angry letters of complaint ... and I'm British! We NEVER complain!

The only one I've ever seen (and taken) that I thought was mildly amusing, was titled "What Should You Call Your Boobs?" (well a girl needs a bit of inspiration sometimes, can't just keep referring to them as "Devils Dumplings" ... the answer was "Pinky & Perky" btw).

The rest of them are just cringe-makingly awful. God knows who creates them ... I just really hope they're not getting paid.

Here are some of the worst ones: (for added entertainment value, try reading them in a perky, Valley Girl accent)

"Are You Bipolar?" (Yes, why go to the trouble of consulting your GP or some other medical professional when Dr Blogthing can tell you right here? Next week ... "Do you have Alzheimers?")

"What Hand Gesture Are You?" (I dunno ... but guess how many fingers I'm holding up right now?)

"Are You Boring Or Interesting?" (Well you're taking this test ... go figure!)

"What Does Your Burger Say About You?" (That you have a very poor diet, should eat more salad and should probably get more exercise? ... burgers can be so cruel!)

"What Does Your Nose Say About You?" (That you need a Kleenex?)

"Did you vote for Obama or McCain?" (Er ... you voted! Do you really need to take a test to know this? ...)

"Should You Be Allowed To Vote?" (See previous Blogthing on list ... did you take this test? then NO! You shouldn't!)

"What Holiday Cookie Are You?" (Urgh! Bite me!)

"What Does Your Belly Button Say About You?" (!!! ... mine says I bath daily and don't have a problem with fluff-gathering)

"What Metal Are You?" ( :| Seriously ... how self-obsessed do you need to be to do this one? Unless you're a metallurgist or maybe a scrap merchant what possible reason could you have for wanting to know???)

See! Just writing this has me all riled!

Hmm ... I wonder if there's one titled "What Kind of Psychopathic Acts Are You Capable Of?"
