Hello. Buzzfeed quizzes are so full of lies.
As Shawn Spencer once said on an episode of Psych (I believe the Disco one, which is truly a fantastic episode), "Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!" If you've seen the episode you may hear it in the proper voice and inflection and understand me better. (I looked for a screencap but it was narry to be found. Yes, narry. Deal with it.)
Now, I know that they are just for fun, and that we ought not to get too hung up on such things. But a line has to be drawn, friends. And that line has been drawn. The line is drawn at the point where the lies are so outrageous as to make me say "WHAT?!?!?" loudly and many times, while Trenton laughs mockingly.
I was driven to this conclusion that I can never again trust Buzzfeed quizzes when I took a "What Tangled Character Are You?" Quiz. Trenton took it first. He received the result of Flynn Rider/Eugene Fitzherbert. That is a good result to get. Especially if you are a boy taking the quiz, and Trenton is a boy. Even. So then, I wanted to take the quiz. And I did. And I did my best to just answer honestly and not try to get any specific result. Because let's be honest. There has been at least one time in your life that you've taken a quiz and purposefully answered in such a way as to get the result you wanted. But I didn't do this. Trenton thought I would get Rapunzel, because of some of my answers. Such as, that I chose the purple color as my favorite color of the choices on the quiz.
Well. Trenton was wrong.
Here was my result.
THE STABBINGTON BROTHERS!?!??! This is a terrible result! Why is this even a possible result on the quiz!?! What about me liking to sing and liking the color purple brings me to the result of the Stabbington brothers. Also, I would just like to say that this is stereotyping the Stabbington brothers and lumping them into one, attributing all the same characteristics to them which is unfair because I'm sure they have their differences, but I digress.
So whatever. This happened a few weeks ago. It was ridiculous and I disagree, but I was ready to begin moving on. Tentatively.
Then, it was today. Now. When Gilmore Girls was first put onto Netflix lots of people freaked out and were so excited and put so much stuff on Facebook about how they were so excited, and I was just kind of like, "meh." But then I watched it with a friend one night, so I'd already seen some of it, and then I watched more at home a few weeks later because Trenton was gone and all the shows I usually watched I watched with him. I started this watching of Gilmore girls during January of 2015. It is now April 22, 2015 and I just watched the series finale today. And let me just say I have some feelings about how everything turned out, but I won't write them here because:
1) spoilers (and I know my mom and sister in law are both watching it so spoilers would be poor form
2) too many feelings. I would get too crazy.
3) that is not the objective of this post.
But I decided to look at a Buzzfeed list about Gilmore Girls that I had seen earlier but had not perused do to not wanting to spoil things for myself. And as I did so I happened upon a quiz named "Which Gilmore Girls Guy is your Soulmate?" Now let's be real. I know that none of the Gilmore Girls Guys is my soulmate. They are all fictional characters which totally different morals than me, and hello I'm happily married and my husband powns all the Gilmore Girls guys. With his eyes shut. That said, I took the quiz for kicks and giggles.
My result was KIRK. Trenton laughed so hard, so hard. To some of you this will mean very little, like especially if you've never watched Gilmore Girls. But here's Kirk.
At least Kirk is not the literal worst. I guess. But really. I was displeased. I can assure you, he is not my soulmate. Our souls would not even be acquaintances.
And finally, a couple days ago I took a quiz along the lines of "We Can Guess How Old You Are Based On Your Pop Culture Preferences". It asked you to pick a favorite singer and phrase and movie etc.. out of however many choices. It said I was 51. I've aged really super well. I'm definitely pleased.
I know this post may give the impression that all I do is take Buzzfeed quizzes. Let me assure you this is a lie. My life is filled with many other things, but I thought it was time the world truly acknowledged just how false these quizzes are, and I wanted to share my pain with the collective "you" out there.
Peace and blessings. Better luck on your own random quiz results. Have a nice day. That's all.
