Cooking To Hook Up

Thanks to AimeeRoo for this quiz. Every girl should take it because all the cool kids are.




I wasn't so sure about the labels, but once I read the descriptions, some of that stuff really fit:

Progressive Girl:
Progressive Girls want the world to be a better place, but they live out their politics in a moderate, left-of-center way
Pretty much.

She drives: a small SUV but really wishes it got better mileage; once she can get a good hybrid, she will.
No, I drive a Focus. BUT, as I'm sure several of my friends can attest to, I have often said that my next car will be the Escape hybrid. Small SUV AND a hybrid.

She can talk for more than ten minutes about: just about anything.
This is pretty much why I rock at Trivial Pursuit.

She owns any of the following: a water filter, a tabletop fountain, an acre of rain forest, a mutt from the pound.
Have: water filter. Want: a mutt or kitty from the pound.

Progressive Girl:
You can boil the Indie Girl down to two words: cultural literacy. Or how about these two: media consumption.
I think my familiarity with Hal Sparks in his role as VH1 special commentator will back that up.

She can talk for more than ten minutes about: obscure pop culture.
I'm not really sure about obscure, but I'm a pop culture goddess.

She begins her sentences with: "It's like that Simpsons episode . . ."
Hi, I AM Lisa Simpson.

She'd never: drive a mini-van.
Mini-vans are of the devil. I've said so for many years. I am fully convinced that my death will somehow involve a mini-van because every accident I've almost gotten into has been with a mini-van.

She owns any of the following: TiVo, a mini-DV camera, an iPod, a pottery wheel, a serger, or a lava lamp.
Own: iPod. Want: TiVo. Someday would like to learn: to use a pottery wheel and a serger.

I think one of the main reasons I got Indie Girl is because I said my dream date is tickets to a Pixies concert and Thai food. If any man showed up with Pixies tickets I would just melt!

I have to admit, though, I was torn between that and eating dinner with the locals on a Caribbean island after a day exploring the beaches.

And now, I'm off to DC for my interview. My Con Law and Property cards are coming too. I'm excited because I get to see my old college roommate Ryann and her family, as well as everyone's favorite, Jordan Baker. Wish me luck on the interview AND on getting actual studying done this weekend.

I did this on my LJ almost right at the beginning, thanks to a friend who also has an LJ.

I actually bought the book this quiz is based on ,and gave it to a male friend as a christmas present. It's fantastic - perfect fun for a single guy who likes to cook.

Also, I'm an Indie Girl. I wish I were the librarian bookish one -- but only because I think the girl in the drawing is pretty foxy in her glasses. Meow.
