How well do you know me?

[dougo]

Following chrismwage's lead, I decided to make a FriendTest. I hope it's not too easy... Maybe it only looks easy to me, but I'll be surprised if anyone who reads my journal doesn't get at least 4 out of 10 right (anyone could get 3 out of 10 with educated guessing).

Update: Well, the first three people got 3 out of 10. I wonder if they all got the same three questions right? Maybe I made the same mistake as Kappa Sig made in this year's MIT Mystery Hunt, and the questions are all either too easy or too hard with nothing in between.

Exactly how many people do you expect to know the color of the sheets on your bed?

(I mean, I could tell you what the glowing stars on your ceiling spell out. At least, what they spelled out back when we were watching Survivor last fall.)

Just you... and you got it wrong, heh. Meanwhile lots of people are guessing it correctly, which means it was probably a stupid question. The online handle question was dumb too, because one of the wrong answers is something I used on an obscure MOO once a long time ago, so basically everyone will be forced to guess. Oh well.

And for the record, the stars were here when I moved in...

er...

Please tell me you've changed the sheets since Andrew got voted off the island. (Or at least washed them.)

I figured the stars weren't yours. They seem to be exactly the sort of sentimental you're not. Alas.

I SUCK

HOW many times have you been in my car? :)

I am car-model-blind. I still do not know what kind of cars my parents drive, and I do not know what kind of car you or Greg N. or Greg H. or Aaron drive. A car is a car is a car.

I have car-model-blindness as well. I have received many odd looks throughout my life for this.

[dougo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm actually still pretty car-model-blind myself (unless it's the same make as mine), I just thought it was ironic since you've probably been in my car more than anyone else.

I don't think repetition helps. If it's not sinking in, and if I have no "hooks" to make it stick, it just keeps fading away.

The only cars I can recognize are the really unusual ones like humvees, PT Cruisers, MINI Coopers, etc.

I've known you since 7th grade

And I still only got 5 out of 10. Yeah, how was I supposed to know what model car you drive or what color the sheets are on your bed? You live 3,000 miles away from me, and I haven't seen you in, what, 3 years? - Brad Cook

Well, at least you got the right 5 questions correct! Although you WERE my roommate when I bought my car, but I guess you had no way of knowing that I still drive the same car 11 years later. I just threw in the sheets thing to make sure it would be really hard to get a perfect score, but it was a dumb idea because lots of people just made lucky guesses (and no one has come close to a perfect score anyway). And I'm realizing that eye color is just something people either notice or don't, and doesn't have much to do with how well they know someone. (Although it's not hard to find a picture of me on the web to find out...) (Come to think of it, I mention my car on my home page too. Maybe people thought that doing research would be cheating, which I guess it sort of is.)

Anyway, you should get a LiveJournal account—they're free now.
