FUN WITH LITERARY THEORY! (yipee)
This is the best quiz ever. The pictures and descriptions for all the possible outcomes are hilarious!

gender nazi
You are a Gender Nazi. Your boundary-crossing
lifestyle inspires awe in your friends and
colleagues. Or maybe they're just scared you
will kick their asses for using gender-specific
language. Either way, the wife-beater helps.


What kind of postmodernist are you!?

Apparently I'm a Tortured Conceptual Artist. And all this time I thought I was a Cyberculture Floozie ...

I totally had you pegged for the Cyberculture Floozie. With exception of the corporate stuff, your livejournal came to mind when I read that description. Though Tortured Conceptual Artist probably works just as well...of course, it would seem fine to me, since I am so partial to boundary-crossing.

The corporate stuff applies more accurate than the psychedelics. :-)

Actually, I structured my life such that I could go either way (or maybe both). Boundary crossing doesn't seem so bad ... maybe I can add another category or two to my belt ...

So, I did the quiz and it gave me the following:

"You are a Theory Slut. The true elite of the postmodernists, you collect avant-garde Indonesian hiphop compilations and eat journal articles for breakfast. You positively live for theory. It really doesn't matter what kind, as long as the words are big and the paragraph breaks few and far between."

It also showed a picture of a hot asian chick as an example of what I look like. All this because I voted for Audrey Tatou as the hottest one on the list? :)

Hah hah! No Derrida for breakfast, Mike? Well, you do have lots of good indie music that can't be found in Sam Goody's or Best Buy. Anyway, the entire quiz probably is based on the "who do you think is hottest" question. I also chose Audrey Tatou and ended up a dyke.

"Whether you harbor some vestige of modernist morality or simply fail to see the irony in Reality TV, one thing is clear. You are just Not Postmodern."

But I think we already knew that about me.

It's funny how acurate these have turned out. This was circulated on the discussion list for my theory class and we all compared notes earlier tonight. It's downright uncanny. heh heh heh.

By the way, how are you, Chris?

Amber, my dear, I won't lie to you, I've certainly been better. I do however try like hell to look past the abundance of crap that I am forced to deal with. But enough about me, how are you? You don't post enough to keep us informed.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that things aren't the best, but at least you can try to look on the sunny side. : ) I'm pretty good at that too. It's brought me through some things.

I am currently being thoroughly pummelled by the graduate program, and I don't think it's a hazing either. It's just the level of work that's expected. But I am enjoying the teachers and students, and think I might be able to make it through another year and a half. That's about it. Sorry I've been such a boring lj friend. I only "have time" to write anything when there is something very important due that I'm afraid to tackle. Like right now, for instance. : )

Well that's wonderful that you are optimistic about keeping up with the flow for another year and a half. I wish I had your self discipline. And don't worry about being a boring lj friend. Just because I am too flakey to finish school, don't worry, I am sympathetic. I promise I won't delete you. Now get back to work, don't turn into me. It's important, it's due, now do it. ;)

audrey is cute. but now that i think about it, i'm not sure why i didn't pick johnny depp. he's probably the only person on the list i'd have sex with if it came down to it. or maybe not. hmm. haha
