SPOILER ALERT!! No, I’m not about to reveal the ending of Lost or who may or may not have killed someone on True Blood last week. But if you are online, and using anything social, you are probably familiar with that term. Just the other day I had the ending of an episode of a show I watch ruined because someone on Twitter forgot to put that in front of their tweet. But it’s not really their fault. It’s Twitter’s.
Between the random, crazy sounding questions and the shimmering/flashing backlighting of the page, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Room 23 from Lost:
Here are the results of my test (I’ve bolded the parts that sound true – you might disagree):
You are in a perpetual quest to find the new, the exciting. Emotionally volatile, you are known for sudden changes of opinion, of appreciation, and behavior. Following rules and established methods is difficult for you and the difficulties of higher education are usually quite daunting. Knowledge is best gained through an intimate association with the matter at hand. Usually driven by attitudes and desires of the group, you are talented in an established field of endeavor. Emotions come and go without a strong understanding of their causes. They are unexpected guests in an otherwise placid landscape. You live by your own codes of conduct, which can be noble or terrible depending on the individual. Authority is meaningless to you. You hate to be predictable, at all costs. Rarely verbally effusive, you can at times feel as if your feelings are too deep for words. You are very observant, but rarely express these observations to others.
As you can see, not very spot-on.
What were your results? Or were you too scared to take the test?
I can’t believe that after 5 long years (I started watching while the 2nd season was on the air) my biggest TV obsession since The Simpsons is coming to an end. While I am sure to get months of nerdy enjoyment out of analyzing the end of the series and thinking about all the questions still left unanswered, eventually it will fade out into a memory as fuzzy as the ones below.
Based on what I remember, this is what my life was like when I started watching Lost:
