Cool Meme with Sucky Questions

Okay. I've been tagged for a meme that is really cool in its concept, but the questions for it SUCK. Hard.

So I've gone ahead and answered it, but I'm not inflicting it on anybody else. You're welcome to do it, and track back to one of the preceding "generations" but, gah. What horrible questions! (Well, the first is okay. The rest... *barf*) They combine the "what's your favorite..." meme with the "how well do you know pop culture" meme - and I SUCK at both! BLEAH!!!!

Animeme

Well, I was contemplating writing another piece responding to Janisse Ray's essay (theme: the joys of being "in the choir") but then Chris Clarke tagged me with a meme (eyeroll) so I guess I'll do that instead (fetching groan).

(It's a pretty good one. jo(e), pica, you're up! And anyone else who'd like to do it!)

Nerd Quiz

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd   Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

Akkadian

Your Score: Akkadian

You scored

You are Akkadian, a blend of the incomprehensible symbols of the Sumerians with the unwritable sounds of the early Semitic peoples. However, the writing just doesn't suit the words and doesn't represent everything needed, so you end up a schizoid mess. Invented in Babylon, you're probably to blame for that tower story. However, crazy as you are, you're much loved and appreciated, and remain actively in use by records keepers long after schools have switched to other languages.

Chore Wars

Combine a Dungeons and Dragons format with an online chore tracker, and what do you get? Chore Wars!

Check it out - it's cool!

(For me, the best part is being able to set up monsters that might attack you during your chore adventure, such as the Tissue Lint Pixie, the Possessed Shopping Cart, or the Hairball of Doom.)
