Laughing in color and living out loud

About Me

"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult." --E.B. White


You're a Penguin!
You like the dapper life, replete with elegant walks, lavish fish dinners, and of course dressing up, preferably in tuxedos. But when not walking out on the town, you actually have a fun side as well, sledding down mountainsides and frolicking in ice-cold water! How do you manage to keep these dual lives going, a veritable play-hard play-hard existence? People seem to love you, and where you live, you don't have much competition. After all, living in an inhospitable neighborhood at least means cheap land. What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold!

You're Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!
by Mark Twain
With an affinity for floating down the river, you see things in black and white. The world is strange and new to you and the more you learn about it, the less it makes sense. You probably speak with an accent and others have a hard time understanding you and an even harder time taking you seriously. Nevertheless, your adventurous spirit is admirable. You really like straw hats.
