Nominate me as a Local Expert



From the Country Quiz II:

You're Finland!
Refined, sophisticated, and yet sometimes suicidal, you are widely admired. You've spent a lot of time playing second-fiddle, but it turns out you can carry quite a tune on your own. While you were once quite brutish, you are now highly enlightened and an advocate for tranquility. Your favorite city reminds most people of a morality play. You have excellent taste in websites.



- I think people will agree with the last point

the first country quiz i got

You're Sudan!
Every time you get a headache, you reach for some aspirin, only to realize that someone destroyed it. That's just how things are going for you right now... it's hard to eat, hard to sleep, hard to not have a headache. You try to relax, but people always jump on you about something that doesn't make sense. If you were a goat, you'd be a Nubian.

on the 2nd country quiz i got
You're Gibraltar!
You are very solid and substantive. As such, you demand respect. You are short and curt with language, however. After all, you need plenty of time to devise your strategy! Strategy's a big thing to you, which may be why you like Alcatraz. That whole allure and challenge of getting past an impenetrable barrier thing. Music could save your mortal soul. Your favorite actor is Dwayne Johnson.

i actually liked reading
QUOTE
Music could save your mortal soul


i did the animal one too and got
You're a Human!
With extreme power comes extreme destructiveness, and you've had plenty of both to share with your peers. While you're capable of a great deal of beauty and joy, your skill in creating misery seems almost boundless at times. You've made a big fuss about how you're smarter than everyone else, but all they can see is how you've used those smarts for ill. At this point, your best hope is to turn to those around you and start caring about them. It would also be advisable to get rid of some of your stuff, and preferably not by throwing it away.

hmmmmm...............

You're Thailand!
Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers. And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it's called for. Good enough to make people cry.

Not sure about some of the text though......

I just took the book quiz like Jacques did:
You're Inherit the Wind!
by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
To you, the learning process is inherently about controversy. If people aren't having their minds stretched, how could they possibly be learning? This makes you a good but unpopular teacher, and the people around you are ready to make it a federal case. All you're asking them to do is evolve a little. But they would like you to be more creative. You would make an excellent lawyer, even though people think you love monkeys.

Haaaaaaaaahahaha I love it...these things are surprisingly accurate!

OK, from the Country Quiz II:

You have been known to go by "Cuz". People really like
taking pictures in front of a very specific part of you.
----------------------------------

I have always hated running. The rest I just don't get!


I think they're talking about Cuzco and Machu Picchu...

You're Mexico!
While some people think you're poor and maybe a little corrupt, you know where it's at, enjoying good food and nice beaches. You like to take things a little slower than those around you, and you really wish the air were cleaner, but sometimes compromises must be made. For some reason, Chevrolet keeps trying to sell you Novas as well, even though they don't really go.

Hmmm, I dunno, on to the next quiz methinks....

You're Panama!
While you're pretty well known, few see your place as a destination so much as a means to an end. And those who have found it to be a destination have often overstayed their welcome. Nevertheless, it could always be worse... you did manage to break up with someone who has become extremely unstable and destructive recently. You would be much more important in a world without air travel. If nothing else, people really like your hats.

Still not satisfied! smile.gif

You're a Walrus!
A while back, maybe even before you were born, some rock band really ruined your name for a lot of people. So while you've grown whiskers and tried to look older and more distinguished, they still ponder you with a strange glint in their eye. Never mind them, they are the eggmen. You like really cold places and don't even know what getting a tan from standing in the English rain means! You used to hate your oversized teeth, but now you've grown to appreciate them. Goo goo g'joob.

Okayyyy! Now this is more like it! Sure do feel as big as a walrus these days!!! tongue.gif

But, I don't like the cold at all.

Haha, my secret love affair with a much younger, extremely volatile man who recently totally lost it and went coo coo bananas, threatening to tell on me smile.gif Though he does think I'm sexy even though I'm three times my original size......
