I'm getting really sick of these quizzes. Some of them have a lot of potential for humor or insight, but most of them are so... so... /lame./ The questions are leading, the options are poor, the results are non-logical, and the frequency with which they are filling my friends pages are beginning to peeve me.

Are you happier if they're behind an LJ-cut?

I'm happier after coffee. :P But yes, I do like that. :)

I'm mostly annoyed at their poor programming.

Like the ones counting what most percentage you are; so if you answer is equal to 10%, 10%, 90%, 80%, 70%, 60%, the result is the page for 10% (which got two answers, so it wins). These have been popular lately.

But I'm guess I'm annoyed at the poor general quality as well... A few of them are nice, though.

Are you getting stressed up again? Take a few days off this weekend? :/

I must have come off bitchier than I intended... :)

Actually, I've not been tooo stressed out (for me, anyway...) But last night I couldn't sleep for some reason, and so this morning I was reaaaallly dragging. And grouchy, I think, too. :P This weekend is a 3-day holiday, and Jake and I are going to take it easy, sleep in, go canoeing, and generally be lazy and relaxed. (Can't start work on the house yet... the ground is too wet right now.)

Coffee is like the Force.

Bear with me, I shall elaborate.

Some people want nothing to do with it.
Some people have bad reactions with it.
Some people can't use it.
Some people like it very, very, dark.
Some people like it light.
Some people use it for all the wrong reasons.
Some people use it wisely.
It has great powers...
... but can lead to bad things.

Coffee is like the Force.

agreed.
I'm accepting of informative "quizzes" .. mainly "surveys"
but all the other stupid graphic percentage most/best character profile crap?
i swore that off before the new year.

I don't mind them in lj-cut, but i'm also tired of clicking on lj-cuts just to see if theres anything of importance in those posts.

hmph.

Well here's a general hint for my LJ: If it's an lj cut and it's not under friends only, you can be sure it's a quiz.
