Spoilage Meme

Now one from politzania

Are You Spoiled? You are if your score is over 40.

( Do you have...? )

Thirteen so far. Who writes these things, junior high-aged girls? Sheesh.

( Do you...? )

Two more for fifteen points.


Are you:
( ) an only child
( ) married/partnered to a wealthy person
( ) baffled/surprised when you don’t get your way

That’ll be zero there, still at fifteen.


( Have you...? )

Travelling I’ve done. This category racks up a whopping seven points, bringing me to twenty-two in total.

I’d like to point out a few things though. Meeting a celebrity in LA is a non-event. I’ve shared an elevator with Kevin Kline, nearly run over Bob Saget (damned jaywalking asshole!) and passed Spike Lee in my office building. And New York isn’t exactly a big deal. Again, who’s writing this crap? As for dining with a local politician, one of my parents’ good friends was a city councilman for many years. He’s a great guy and he and his wife are regular dinner guests at our house. How is that a big deal? They were friends long before he went into politics. And as for leaving the country...lemme tell ya, Canada isn’t some exotic locale. It’s pretty much the same as the U.S., only with all the signs in French and English instead of Spanish and English.


( Did you...? )

So there we have just one more point, bringing me to a grand total of twenty three.

Sometimes I wonder why I do these things. Then I remember: I’m BORED. :)
