It seems I quite unintentionally made that quiz a tiny bit more difficult than I'd planned. Therefore, I give you the answers, complete with inane commentary by myself. Unnecessary, yes, but I need to occupy myself with something.

1. Right-o, let's start with an easy one: What is the name of Yvi's laptop?
a) Renee
b) Robin
c) Jessie
d) Ravana
e) Jethro

Answer: b. Renee and Jethro are both violins; Jessie and Ravana are both demons.

2. Which song is most likely to get stuck in Yvi's head? (Remember, especially any IBers among you, select the answer that BEST FITS the question.)
a) "Madame Guillotine" from The Scarlet Pimpernel
b) "Bells For Her" by Tori Amos
c) "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne
d) "Master of the House" from Les Mis
e) "Muqin" from Thoroughly Modern Millie

Answer: a. How can you not get that song stuck in your head? Sure, it might not be healthy, but even so...

3. What musical instrument did Yvi play in high school?
a) clarinet
b) flute
c) viola
d) cello
e) violin

Answer: e. I was an orch rat for quite some time. I actually can play the viola and cello, albeit rather badly, but I've always been in the violin section. With Renee.

4. Cliche time now: If Yvi's dorm caught fire, what would she take out of the building with her?
a) Her CDs.
b) Her laptop.
c) Her copy of Les Mis
d) The fire!
e) Are you kidding? The dorm would be filled with hysterical girls. She'd burn to a crisp before she made it down the stairs, especially if she was dumb enough to waste time collecting things.

Answer: b. Yes, I've become a slave to technology. CDs and books can be replaced, but laptops contain quite a bit and are slightly more expensive. I'm not quite daft enough to take out the fire, no matter how much Terry Pratchett I read, and although the dorm would be filled with hysterical girls, I'm not above leaping out a window. Looks like this was something of a trick question. Oops. Sorry?

5. Who is Yvi's favorite Musketeer?
a) Athos
b) Porthos
c) Aramis
d) D'Artagnan
e) None of the above; the girl can't stand Dumas.

Answer: a. First off, I enjoy Dumas. Very much. Second off, Aramis is an interesting one, but he reminds me too much of myself for me to ever like him very much. Porthos is annoying and D'Artagnan, as the main character, surely doesn't need any more fans. Athos, now, is the one I pretended to be when I was a young 'un (because don't all little girls go about pretending to be Musketeers when they get bored with Sleeping Beauty?). And that was before I knew about the getting-sloshed-in-the-cellar episode.

6. Which of the following is Yvi most likely to do on a regular basis?
a) force a dusty book on a sibling
b) break her vegetarianism
c) sing in the shower
d) write Moulin Rouge slash
e) maim one of her roommates

Answer: a. Come on, how many times have I delighted at corrupting one of the Gorgons? Ten-year-olds as I know them don't usually pick up Hugo of their own accord. I did break my vegetarianism recently, it was entirely unintentional. Moulin Rouge slash is not something I have written to date, though it is highly probable this will change sometime soon. I do not, despite popular belief, sing in the shower, especially now that I have a hall bathroom. I'll sing just about anywhere else, as long as I have a general idea of who's likely to hear me. And as lovely as bathroom acoustics may be, there's no way to determine just how many people are accumulating, snickering, clutching their ears, etc.

7. What language does Yvi occasionally attempt to teach herself?
a) French
b) Spanish
c) Gaelic
d) Latin
e) Italian

Answer: c. I've always wanted to learn it; blame my taste in music and my ancestry. Spanish is what I've taken in school (not that I can speak it), Italian is what I've picked up swear words from, and the other two I've just sort of inexplicably accumulated some patchy knowledge of.

8. Yvi would love to someday:
a) own a bagel shop
b) find true love and live happily ever after
c) have a book published
d) change her name
e) work for a real theatre

Answer: e. Awful, isn't it? Bagels are nice, but I wouldn't want to live by them, I'm too jittery about it to ever write for a living, and even though I don't need to take that quiz currently circulating to know how common my name is, I'd never go so far as to legally change it when doing so unofficially is much easier and just as effective. As for choice b... well, that's obvious, neh?

9. What is Yvi's all-time favorite movie?
a) Girl, Interrupted
b) Amadeus
c) Lord of the Rings
d) Immortal Beloved
e) From Hell

Answer: b. Don't ask how it's possible to adore Amadeus and despise Immortal Beloved, but it is.

10. Let's end on a cheery note, shall we? Yvi is undeniably guilty of:

a) not eating her greens
b) lacking a driver's license
c) using really lousy grammar
d) chronic procrastination
e) all of the above

Answer: d. *buries face in hands* This, it seems, was another accidental trick question. And here I thought I'd mentioned my procrastination habit enough for everyone to be good and sick of it. I must remember to bring it up more often. By the way, I do have a license, not that I ever use it, I do eat my greens, and I like to think my grammar doesn't qualify as really lousy. Hmph.

I never wanted to be an Education major anyway... If the brats of the next generation are anything like the brats of this one, and I suspect they are, I see no reason to break my back shoving information into their thick little skulls.

Adieu.
