Random Test! These
Random Test! These are something Kenzie invented a long time ago, when she was Paige. If anyone has played the game Scattegories, it's like that. There are these categories, and you have to say something that falls into each category and starts with a certain letter. In Scattegories, a die decides the letter. For random tests, we use the first in our names (unless it's too hard or easy and you don't want to use it, in which case you can use your middle name, or your penname on a different website, or whatever you want, really. If you go by a name on Chatterbox that isn't the same as yours in RL, you can use either. So anyway, here are the categories (which I chose at random, not giving myself any sort of deliberate advantage, although I suppose that's impossible as I love these so much I always answer them multiple times, with multiple letters) (sorry if they aren't particularly good; I've never made a quiz of any kind before and I admit to copying from Scattegories whenever I can remember to, but I'm mainly just using whatever comes to mind first):
1. Mammals:
2. Birds:
3. Book titles:
4. Things that are round:
5. Things found at the circus:
6. Things found in a medicine cabinet:
7. Things that have to do with writing:
8. Things found on a beach:
9. Authors (first or last names):
10. Halloween costumes:
11. Things you can see in whatever room you happen to be in at the moment (besides yourself):
12. Painting (interpret that however you like):
13. Food:
14. Things that have to do with the CB:
15. Mythical creatures:
My answer (using K, as my real name is Katie--Katherine, really, but I haven't been called that since I was a baby, unless you count roll call with new teachers and doctors)
1. Mammals: Koala
2. Birds: Kookaburra
3. Book titles: Kirakira
4. Things
that are round: Koalas (ish... If that doesn't count, koalas' heads)
5. Things found at the circus: Kaitlin Krith? (just a random name because I could think of nothing else...)
6. Things
found in a medicine cabinet: K..... *can think of nothing*
7. Things that have to do with
writing: Um... Kwill pens? Can we misspell things?
8. Things found on a beach: Koolaid drinkers, possibly
9. Authors (first or
last names): Katherine Hannigan
10. Halloween costumes: Kangaroo
11. Things you can see
in whatever room you happen to be in at the moment (besides yourself): Kaleidoscopic colors
12. Painting
(interpret that however you like): Kaleidoscopic colors. I like using the same thing many times.
13. Food: Koolaid (See?). Or can you use beverages? If not, kabobs.
14. Things that
have to do with the CB: Kimberly? Can I use you, Kimberly? Because I don't know what else, besides another person.
15. Mythical creatures: Kraken! That was definitely the easiest question for me.
I didn't answer those particularly well, but in my defense, K is a difficult letter. So I hope that's why, and not the questions themselves, or any inadequacy in answering on my part... But I'm coming again, to answer it many more times with different letters, and I'll see. I love these things. I can't wait until I do my middle name. It's N. I have a very good, lazy strategy for N.

And now I'm going to do it with I, just because I feel like it...
1. Mammals: Impala
2. Birds: Ibis
3. Book titles: Into The Wild. Since that's the title of 2 entirely different books, do I get points?? Wait... If anyone were to give extra points for answers, I suppose it would be me, because I made the quiz.I don't really feel like awarding myself points, so I'll just give Title-Similarity points to EHunter. I mean first this, then Twilight, then Eclipse... Who knows what next? I'm very curious. And I've always kind of wondered whether she copied the names, other people copied here, or everyone's just being unoriginal. Hm...

@ Julia: The Junie B. Jones series was my favorite when I was in kindergarten, although I haven't picked one up in quite a while! I just remember that they could be hilarious, although I didn't get half the jokes because I was in kindergarten, too, and didn't always realize that almost-six-year-olds could be so funny. I wonder what I'd think if I were to read one over again...
@ Cara: You get plenty of extra credit points for using your name, but a few taken away because of the cow. It's... not exactly a mythical creature. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I suppose. I'm probably sounding like my dad at this point. Unfortunately, he seems not to realize that the point of the game is creativity, so things get difficult when playing with him... Anyway. I hope I'm not being too restrictive, but cow doesn't fit the category. Still, though, you do get extra credit, which is more than anyone else can say....
(August 3, 2010 - 12:11 am)
THE COW IS A MYTH.
(August 3, 2010 - 11:13 pm)
There are quite a few cows in Greek mythology. Just sayin'.
(August 6, 2010 - 8:16 pm)
I guess I'll use Paige, since that was my name when I came up with this idea, and because you used a K name in your example.

(August 3, 2010 - 2:16 am)
I don't like the circus, either. I just remembered that from a Scattegories game I played in a 4th (or maybe 5th) grade GT class. We were all using the same letter, which happened to be P, and I couldn't think of anyting, so I said Pink Things. It didn't count. Now, looking back, I realize I could've just said People...
Authors could be Pat Murphy. I Googled that name once, and you'd have no idea how many people there are in the world...
(August 3, 2010 - 5:31 pm)
Ha. You know, I don't believe I'll be trying this, seeing as how nothing begins with Z and I don't want to tell any of my real names. :D
