It says I'm Costa Rica

You're Costa Rica!
You're about as peaceful as anyone on the planet, a real dyed-in-the-wool pacifist. And why not? No one really poses much of a threat to you and everything seems to work out, no matter how much violence and insanity rages all around you. So you relax and appreciate nature and culture while the rest of the world carries on their petty disagreements.
starlagurl
Haaaaaaaaaa ha I'm Texas!

You aren't really much of your own person, but everyone around you wishes you'd go away, so you might as well be independent. You're sort of loud-mouthed and abrasive, but you do have a fair amount of power. You like big trucks, big cattle, and big oil rigs. And sometimes you really smell. But it's not all bad, you're big enough to have some soft spots somewhere in all that redneck madness.
starlagurl
And then I took the country Quiz II and this came up:

You're the Isle of Man!
Man, oh man! You are all but insignificant, but still maintain the ideal of being your own independent person. You're a firm believer in the trinity, although your loyalties to the concept may have more Pagan roots. And though you seem to be strong, you are ultimately completely at sea. You like cats, but really don't like their tails.
starlagurl
And then I took the animal quiz!
You're a Gila Monster!
While you like to wear bright and discordant clothing to warn people that you can be dangerous when provoked, most people merely take it to mean you have terrible fashion sense. You try not to care what they think, as you'd rather be on your own, looking around at bugs and rodents. Yes, you're a bit eccentric, though you really resent some of the names you've come to be known by. While many folks don't look for you at all, kids expect to see you at the airport.
travelmonster
Haha!!

I just took Country Quiz II

and it said

You're Mongolia!
People used to live in fear of your very name. Now, they just wonder whatever happened to you. Step by step, you became less of a juggernaut and more of a mild-mannered person who just really likes barbecue. But that's okay, you're much friendlier and perhaps even happier now in your old age. You used to be a fearsome wall-climber, but have managed to give that up as well. There is much debate amongst those who have not seen your midriff about whether you have an "innie" or an "outie".
travelmonster
Hmmm, I do like Barbeques come to think of it!!!

Belly buttons!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yah I know, but that makes no sense.

no, it doesn't laugh.gif

So, do you think thats you?
kitkatgo
Here's what it said for me...not sure how I should feel about it. blink.gif

You're Switzerland!
While most people think you're sort of stuck up, it's really
just that people don't interest you that much.  That's why you'd rather
just stay out of everything and be as neutral as possible.  Somewhere in
there is an ability to be a psychiatrist because you're so objective, but you
might just be too cold for that.

I took the first one and it came up with Vatican City (huh, what's with that?)... so I took the Country Quiz II...

You're Venezuela!
When you were young, you were idealistic. Everyone is to an extent, but you really had something special and vibrant about your hope to change the world. There were naysayers, but you brushed them aside with your charisma, charm, and clearly lofty ambition. Then, the tide started to turn. More and more, it looked like the detractors were right. Rather than fulfill your ideals, you were hungrily clinging to the attention your verbal espousal of them had brought you. Suddenly, you were just like everyone else. Now, it looks like the best hope may sadly be moving on. You always try to buy gas at Citgo.

Oh well...
kitkatgo
OK, from the Country Quiz II:

You're Peru!
You like to shake, rattle, and roll as much as the next person.
And you've been doing so for a long time. You used to be a big fan of running, but
have slowed down a bit in recent years. Many are surprised at how influenced you
are by Japanese culture. 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!
inasia2008
...soooooooo you're not influenced by the crazy japanese culture then? You mean you don't do the "peace" sign whenever someone takes your picture?
kitkatgo
LOL...well, I talk about the crazy Japanese culture enough! But no, I don't do that peace sign thing.
jacquesl
You're Turkey!
You have a good deal of history behind you, both good and bad, but through it all, you've become a leader among your friends. You have an uncanny ability to make friends with people who hate each other, though sometimes you just hate them instead. Surprisingly fickle, you keep a good balance in your life between religion and humanism, but most people think you're fanatical anyway. You're Istanbul, you're Constantinople.

Did it say that I am Turkey...or I'm A Turkey?????
jacquesl
You're a Rabbit!
Sure-footed and exceptional at hearing, you have a great number of physical talents. While you do love carrots, you have an aversion to lettuce that no one seems to really believe. Looney Tunes have been your favorite cartoons for as long as you can remember. Though you'd never admit it, you've always wondered what it would feel like to be thrown into a briar patch. You really like, er, procreating, even more than most people.


..I'm sure my wife loves my fluffy little tail.....
jacquesl
OK I give up now....

You're The Dictionary!
by Merriam-Webster
You're one of those know-it-all types, with an amazing amount of knowledge at your command. People really enjoy spending time with you in very short spurts, but hanging out with you for a long time tends to bore them. When folks really need an authority to refer to, however, you're the one they seek. You're an exceptional speller and very well organized.

It says I'm Brazil too!

andrewsinclair
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

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...............
inasia2008
LOL, your Haiti one is a classic! You're into voodoo, you've fallen on hard times and your friend upped and left out of boredom!

I get the feeling this quiz is a little bit evil... for everyone!

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!

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....
wakingdream
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.

Yes, Taiwan, how random biggrin.gif

You're Taiwan!
Despite enormous setbacks, including the fact that most people refuse to recognize who you are or even that you exist at all, you've built yourself into quite a productive person. You've got a little trouble maintaining a sense of personal order, but through the mess, you're still very industrious and have a small but pivotal impact on almost everyone you know, and even people you don't. You make a whole lot of stuff.

Quiz 1
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.
Quiz 2
You're Belize!
An admirer of ancient culture, you are able to blend a variety of interests into your perspective. You like rain and the forest, and if you can combine the two, so much the better! There are those that might accuse you of hogging all the good stuff, but at least you're trying to take care of it and even help others enjoy it. Your favorite shape is the pyramid.

Animal
You're a Hyena!
You have quite a sense of humor, though many others find it derisive rather than appealing. You are perceived as being a coward, but actually have moments of great bravery and have even stood up to those much larger than yourself. You like hanging out in groups and are always making a lot of noise. Disney thinks you are an idiot.

Since when was Texas a COUNTRY??????? ranting2.gif

Quiz 1: You're Canada!
People make fun of you a lot, but they're stupid because you've got a much better life than they do. In fact, they're probably just jealous. You believe in crazy things like human rights and health care and not dying in the streets, and you end up securing these rights for yourself and others. If it weren't for your weird affection for ice hockey, you'd be the perfect person.

(which maybe explains my Texas comment above wink.gif And I do like Ice Hockey, but really I'm an Aussie Rules girl!)

Quiz 2: You're Andorra!
Live long and prosper! Or at least live long. You have always seemed destined for great things despite your tiny stature and almost invisible presence. While some think of you as practically a newborn, you're actually quite the old soul. And you've developed ways to stay popular, primarily consisting of giving things away. While you enjoy the sun, you're still a little scared of basking.

(Um...a little research is probably in order. All I know is that they speak French, and I"m not even sure I'm on the ball with that...)

Yes Aussie Rules is Australian Rules Football (AFL). It is mainly a Victorian State game but there are a few teams around the country....me I am a Sydney Swans supporter..."Cheer, Cheer the Red and the White......."
