• Tonight I went to Mike’s friend’s house where he cooked Landon, Lindsay, Mark, Eric, and I a delicious spagetti dinner. Mmmmmm. Then we talked for hours and it was great cause it made me feel like Chicago and because it made me laugh really hard and also get slightly passionately and righteously angry.

  “Mike Hess I’m going to do something really unworthy to you so you can’t go on your mission ’cause I will miss you too much.” -Lindsay

  “It’s not like I actually make plans to kiss Lindsay by the end of the night.” -Mike

  So, Quiz results. If you haven’t taken the How well do you know me?quiz, take the How well do you know me?quiz. Otherwise read the results and commentary below. I think it’s interesting to see what people put because it shows how they perceive me as it contrasts to how I perceive myself.

  Question 1. What is my middle name? Borden. But everyone always thinks it is Brian because that’s my Dad’s name.

  Question 2. Almost everyone knew that my favorite song is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.

  Question 3. Where do I want to live some day? If you didn’t get Florence you just guessed because I have no ties to any of the other cities.

  Question 4. What do I love? A lot of you chose watching movies. In reality, though, I have not watched a lot of movies, and though I like movies, I don’t love them nearly as much as I love public speaking. Others of you chose “awkward moments” as your answer. I hate awkward moments with a passion.

  Question 5. My proudest moment to date is the A.P. Art show. A bunch of you picked “receiving my eagle scout award.” Though somewhat important, my eagle pales in comparrison to my AP Art Show.

  Question 6. My STRANGEST embarrassing moment is . . .? Granted, this question sucks. It was poorly worded and the answers were tricky because all options were real embarassing moments that happened. Saying my name wrong in the fifth grade spelling bee is what most of you put, and that is probably my most embarrassing moment, but saying I had little people living in my head is by far my strangest embarrassing moment. Yes, I know the question is subjective and this one shouldn’t count.

  Question 7. I hate it most when people . . .? The results to this question SHOCKED me. It actually was kind of sad. I thought the way the question was worded made the answer obvious enough, but the real majority of you picked either “are liberals” or “wear skimpy clothes” with a few “swear excessively around me.” These results, perhaps more than any other question reveal how I am percieved by everyone. The irony comes with the correct answer: I hate it most when people . . .”think I don’t have a personality beyond my religious convictions.”

  Question 8. I want a girl who . . .? Those of you who picked “has a sweet spirit” don’t know that that’s code for “ugly” at BYU. A lot of you picked ” . . . I don’t get awkward around,” which makes sense, but awkwardness is half the fun at first (as in “I don’t wanna know” by New Found Glory). I want a girl who is easy to hold and cuddle with.

  Question 9. My favorite color is . . . A rich Ochre. Dictionary.com will reveal ochre as “A moderate orange yellow, from moderate or deep orange to moderate or strong yellow.” If you had to guess though, my art shows that I like rich colors. I realize this question was kinda cheap . . . but I am an artist

  Question 10. I wish that I could either be . . . Peter Pan or Spiderman. Because I wish that I had curly hair and a wendy and could fly, and if not fly then swing from a web and make out with a hot red-head. Caravaggio was messed up, though he is my favorite artist. Superman is only my favorite rollercoaster. I hate Post-Impressionism.
