I'm New Mexico!
A fan of spelunking and cliff-dwelling, you're the adventurous, enchanting type. It seems like you can never avoid the sun, but that's what built your house in the first place so you'll manage. You probably speak Spanish, and maybe even a long-lost language in addition. And after much careful consideration, you now sometimes agree that drive-through liquor stores are not the safest idea. Even though people think of you as yellow, your favorite question is "red or green?"

You're The U.S. Embassy!

You really like talking to people, even though many argue that you don't
get much done. You think you present people with goodwill, but just about everyone is insulted by your presence. If they like having you around, it's usually because you promise to give them something. Of course, most of the reason you meet people is to find a way to exploit them, so it's a two-way street at best. Though you try hard, most of your efforts just bomb.

You're Hawaii!
When they first meet you, few people can tell whether you want to say hello or goodbye. Either way, most of them will end up saying that you're their favorite person to visit, if only they could afford the trip. But your soft and warm image is belied by an explosive undercurrent in your personality than can leave you drenched with tears or boiling with anger for days on end. You are rather fond of using plants as clothing.

Oh, I was thinking I was more Idaho...but okay.

Here's my country

You're the United Nations!
Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go. You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result. But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

...the UN isn't really a nation, but okay

Oh, oh, and my book!

You're The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!
by C.S. Lewis
You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed quite dramatically. For the better or for the worse, it is still hard to tell. Now it seems like winter will never end and you feel cursed. Soon there will be an epic struggle between two forces in your life and you are very concerned about a betrayal that could turn the balance. If this makes it sound like you're re-enacting Christian theological events, that may or may not be coincidence. When in doubt, put your trust in zoo animals.

...never read it...maybe I should...

You're Minnesota!
You love hanging out around lakes, even if they're frozen solid. Given your probable Scandanavian heritage, it all just demonstrates that you're pining for the fjords. Your obsession with wrestling got a little carried away for a while there, and this should prompt some serious reflection about the separation of mind and body. It may be time to celebrate, even throw your hat up in the air. You're going to make it after all.


omg lol (look at location) I am from minnesota :-P now THAT is wierd!

You're Alaska!
You're big, bulky, and extremely wild. At the same time, you're rather cold and standoffish, even a loner of sorts. Taming you may be one of the last great quests of the people who do manage to find you or even seek you out. So many of them just want to plunder you for what you have of value, but there are a few, the ones who will stick with you, that truly value your rugged remoteness. As long as no one is spilling stuff on you, you are truly beautiful.

State: North Dakota. WTF? Hahaha...
"You are rather remote, and even inaccessible to the average person. While many would thus describe you as stuck-up, to you it seems more like you're just stuck. When no one is looking, you yearn to engage in 19th-century European political subterfuge. When looking for peace, head for the garden. But please, be extremely careful around wood-chippers."

OMG. It's the North Pacific right now. That's scary. ;)


Country: UN
Hmm... agree that this isn't country. But is me anyways

Book: The Hobbit
Yes! Wonderful choice

Oh holy hell...

You're Ulysses!
by James Joyce
Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

You're Wisconsin!
You are perhaps the cheesiest person alive. You like '80's music, posing for photographs, fastballs, cartoon cheetahs, and real mice. You want to have a cow, man. You have been known to do the Forrest Gump shrimp routine with the word "cheese" replacing "shrimp". Once in a while, beer will supplement your diet of unending cheese. Deep down, though, you'd prefer to drink fermented cheese.

Dammit!

You're The Moon!
You frequently take small steps, but you think very highly of each and every one of them. This aloof attitude doesn't begin to reflect how high and mighty you actually are, though you are able to reflect light onto others when it seems appropriate. Whether the glass is half full, half empty, waxing pedantic, or even crescent-shaped is something ever-changing in your perspective. These mood swings at least follow a consistent cycle, one that makes others believe you have mystical powers. Ultimately, your head is always in the clouds and you just can't seem to stay grounded.

(Also, I'm Bhutan and Ulysses)

You're Iowa!
You are very concerned with hawks and their nature. Particularly, the eye
of the hawk has always captivated you, drawing you in with its piercing stare. It
frankly doesn't take a lot to get your attention, but once it's been gained, your
attention is unflinching. Though your influence appears minimal, a meeting you hold
at your place every few years is monumental in its implications. At that meeting, you
don't discuss where the monks came from, even though you want to know



Hurrah! Iowa! The place I live. Except I live a very comfortable life, so I don't get how at the beginning I had to take it over and over until I got this...

You're the Panama Canal!
While others are content to work long and hard hours, you're all about taking the shortcut. While this has benefited you for the most part, it has required starting several conflicts so that you could get your way. Your old profession doesn't seem terribly lofty to anyone, and sometimes you've even needed to dig ditches to get by, but you figure the results are worth it. Now, most of the time you're just cruising.

Well: I am not an American anyway. But I´m a strategically very important region. I like that.

You're Georgia!
For you, life is just peachy. You've been growing a lot lately and have really invested yourself in some major companies. You prefer Coke over Pepsi, CNN over other stations, and always fly Delta. This brand loyalty seems to be pulling away from your deepest roots, but that's part of growing. You are utterly terrified of fire. Just an old sweet song keeps you on others' minds.

I'm Vatican City: You're pretty sure that you're infallible in all that you do or say, and it's hard to say whether you're right. You have a lot of followers, most of whom will do whatever you say without question, or line up to see you ride around in your spiffy car. Religious and reserved, you have some wisdom, but also a bit much contempt for everyone around you. You're also fabulously wealthy, no matter what you say to the contrary.

I'm also Anne of Green Gables.

You're the Virgin Islands!
It's been said that you're always making a face at people, but you tell them that's just an optical illusion. While you claim to be unspoiled, you make a major effort to cover up the things you perceive as blemishes in your personality. When people meet you, they tend to think you're perfect, but if they look closely, they'll see the parts of yourself that you're repressing to present this image. Meanwhile, adolescent boys can't stop making fun of your name.

That explains RedArrow's obsession with me.

And, since I am originally from Puerto Rico, it's kinda creepy.

You're Virginia!
Part of the old school, you like both historical sites and crazy amusement parks. You like saying the word Commonwealth but couldn't really explain the concept or how it applies to your life. You like five-sided shapes, five-cent pieces, and possibly anything else having to do with the number five. Every now and then, you discard chaff from yourself that you just don't feel you need. And since you've been wondering... yes, there is a Santa Claus.
:cool:

You're Maryland!
You enjoy contemplating your navel so much that you want to build a whole school devoted to said purpose. You like Chevy Chase a ton as well, maybe even more than Cal Ripken since he started doing those Century 21 commercials. Mostly, though, you want to kick back, watch the ballgame, and eat crabcakes. Brick is by far your favorite building material. You might even call yourself a brick house.

I hoped I would be Maryland...Maryland=the greatest

You're Lolita!
by Vladimir Nabokov
Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every way, though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not sure what causes this desire. Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real. Please stay away from children.
creepy...

The nation quiz didn't so much work for me...because I'm hard working and don't play soccer it said I was Texas :eek:

I'm Maine: Wild and untamed, you have a vibrant and independent spirit. Most of your time is spent contemplating yet another way to market lobster to the rest of the world. This makes you feel at sea from time to time, or even unable to see the forest for the trees. Everyone thinks your hometown is a much more famous town on the other side of the world, but you vaguely enjoy the confusion and the secrecy that results from this. After all, every town everywhere has a street you like to think is named in your honor.

I'm the United Nations: Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go. You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result. But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

I'm also Catch 22.
