I was searching for a blog to write about and came across blogthings. Not exactly what I was looking for, but I think it is interesting. It is a site full of quizzes ranging from silly ones such as "What Color Crayon Are You?" to wanna-be serious ones such as "Should You Live With Your Boyfriend?" I remember taking these kinds of quizzes in middle school just for fun, and I admit, I took a few before I wrote this. I found out I would be an evil pumpkin face and my karaoke theme song is "Margaritaville." I can't help but wonder, though, do some people really take these things seriously? I mean, if I were thinking about moving in with my boyfriend, an online quiz would certainly not be the place I turn to for advice. Are there people out there that really go to these quizzes to find answers to questions like "Should You Break Up With Him?", "Is He a Keeper?", or "Are You Pregnant?" Come on now, seriously? This last one just amused me, so I had to take it for fun... good news! It turns out, I'm probably not pregnant, but I should see a doctor to confirm! Thank you Blogthings!

Those are some interesting thoughts. I would hope people don't actually take those things seriously, but I would be willing to bet with all the crazy people in this world that someone is taking those seriously. I really hope people aren't depending on technology THAT much.
I love online quizzes. Really, it is just a form of procrastination, I would never take them seriously. I think people are starting to take the online world more seriously than human advice, which cannot be replaced.
I think human advice already has been replaced. Sites that teach: women how to decorate their homes, men to build muscle, and kids to think of project ideas are all advice that I'm sure are used by thousands of people. Funny post though!
These quizzes are pretty much amazing. They're terrible, but they are amazing. Apparently it I were a monster, I would be a zombie. Great find!
