La Chat Noir. She managed to get 7 of the 11 questions correct.
So here are the answers:
1)How tall am I?
d)6′1″-6′4″
I’m 6′2″, which I believe puts me slightly taller than average. It does me no good, because I bump my head on stuff frequently, and people are always asking me to reach things for them. Little do they know (no pun intended) that I am laughing at their gnome-like features when I get things for them.
2)Hair- how much I got?
d)Plenty of hair, kept medium (messy, mini-mohawkable)
I’ve had it pretty long, almost shoulder length, and then much shorter, but still long for a guy. It was easily braidable, and a friend of mine had no trouble putting it in corn rows once. Recently I’ve kept it shorter, but there is plenty of it, and I do keep it messy. Not, “I got out of the shower and dried my hair straight, then brushed it, then added gel to make it look messy,” but I got out of the shower and dried it. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s not. I don’t really like to spend more time than is utterly necessary on my hair.
3)Hair- color?
d)Blond
I was a real toehead when I was a kid. My hair was almost white. It still gets pretty light in the summer, but it’s not blond as it used to get. At this point, I guess you could call it dirty blond. It does have slight tinges of red, but that’s more apparent in my facial hair, which we’ll get to in a bit.
4)Eyes- various?
a)Blue
Blond hair, blue eyes. It’s a good match. An eyepatch would be cool, but it doesn’t exactly negate the fact that there would still be one good, blue, eye underneath it.
5)Build- gym?
d)slim, toned
I thought that I was slim and toned, given that I’m 6′2″, weigh 177, and have some definition in my arms, legs, and chest. I’m certainly not rippling with muscles, but if I pick up something heavy, you can absolutely see where my muscles begin and end.
However, ACWF said I was medium build with no tone. I guess she just thinks I’m a fatass.
6)Hands?
b)righty
Like some enormous percentage of the population, I am right handed. Though, I seem to know an inordinate amount of people who are left handed. Off the top of my head, The Mal, Fool, my buddy Justin, and some other folks whom I probably shouldn’t name.
7)Face?
f)soul patch
This may have been one of the toughest questions on the quiz, even for people who do know me. Since I was old enough to shave, I’ve goofed with my facial hair. I rocked the chin only goatee for a long time, then moved to the mustache plus chin goatee. I’ve had the full beard, which is where you can really see my hair growing in red. I’ve never been able to pull off the mustaches or sideburns/mutton chops very well. The hair grows in so thin, and so light that it just looks goofy. For the past few weeks, however, I’ve been growing in the soul patch. It’s pretty blond too, but I think it’s cool. My little brother thinks it looks stupid, but he can suck a peener because he’s a giant douche.
8)Skin color?
b)pale
Just plain pale. I’ve got a few freckles, but I’m not exactly freckled, and though I sit in an office all day, I do have a huge window, which gets lots of sun, so I don’t really get to the pasty stage, or to the point where I’m developing rickets. By the way, those of you who do sit in an office all day away from the windows should make it your business to get some sun (with sunscreen) when you can. Vitamin D.
9)Underwear?
e)boxers in cold weather, commando in the summer
I don’t have to explain myself. It’s just more comfortable that way.
10)I is how many fingers old?
c)22-24
I’m 24. It’s shocking, still, even to me, but it’s true. Maybe one day, when I grow up, I’ll know what I want to do for a living.
11)Essay- variable length?
Each person had the potential to score 3 points on the essay. 3 points would have been awarded for a correct answer, which was, “Clothes”. That’s right, it was as easy as saying clothes. I’m not exactly concerned about what I wear, so I don’t view my wardrobe as a potential for different “outfits”. On weekdays I hold up a pair of pants, see if it matches a shirt, and if they match, I wear them to work. On weekends, I dig through my tshirts, figure out if it’s a Superman/I Eat Your Skin/Old Lifeguarding Shirt day, and then I decide if it’s cold enough to need a hoodie, or to do the longsleeves under tshirt thing.
2 points would have been awarded to anyone who said, “Whatever you were already wearing,” because, though I may be interested, or even excited to meet you, I don’t really dress for people.
1 point would be awarded for the shortest answer possible. In this case, some 1 point answers I remember included “shorts” and “flip flops”. Both those answers got 1 point.
Finally, 1/2 point was awarded for anyone describing something that I would potentially wear. Nobody was far off base with this, so if you did describe something, you got at least 1/2 point.
And let me just say now, to be forever on the record, thank you all for not imagining I would walk in to the bar with my collar in any position but down. When I see people with their collars up, I want to walk over to them and say, “Hey, mental midget! Yes you, with the collar up. What the hell is wrong with you? Have you heard of the 80’s? Do you know how frequently the 80’s are used to describe the lowest point in the history of fashion? Well, do you, idiot? I didn’t think so. Now, either put your collar down, and get the hell out of my sight, or actually do the outfit to the letter, and buy yourself some rayon hotpants, and knee high socks.”
