When I was in high school, every Valentine's Day, the student council would run this matchmaking
service as a fundraiser. For $8, you could fill out a questionnaire which would then be scored
and your answers would be compared to everyone else's in an attempt to find you your true 'love
match.' Six weeks later, you'd get a computer print out of the most compatible people who had
also filled out the questionnaire.
I think throughout my entire career in high school there were exactly THREE people I wanted to
date that actually went to my school. But every year, I dutifully filled out the matchmaking
questionnaire in the name of fun and raising money for the student council to do all the stupid
shit they did in the name of torturing us poor high school students, like this god awful
questionnaire. I never actually made any matches with anyone using this method, but I do remember
my senior year being 100% compatible with a boy I thought was cute, but who was also a freshman,
and being more compatible with my best friend/secret crush's stupid little brother than I was
with him.
Anyway, in the spirit of my highschool matchmaking questionnaire,
href="http://www.thespark.com" class="rightlinks">The Spark has a nifty personality test
that's a lot of fun. The results not only tell you what kind of the basic 16 types (that The
Spark has observed by watching people in bars) you are, but it will also tell you how compatible
you are with your friends wherein '...your compatibility with someone is exactly how likely you
are to *kiss them when drunk*. ' You can take it at

What's really funny, is that in the list of people I know who have taken this test, I'd be just
as likely to kiss most of them while sober (I'm a fairly indescriminate smoocher when it comes to
my friends). It turns out I'm of the personality type performer which means that my goal
of being a sparkly rockstar is entirely realistic.
Anyway, if you'd like to see how compatible you are with me, use laura@dear23.net as my email
address and let me know how likely you
are to smooch me while tanked.
