I just took a meme... ( results here )
Now I can't really rgue with anything that it says, and do you know why? Because how it works, as you will see if you decide to take it, is that it asks you to pick a number of characteristics that you feel you have from a list. Then it gives you a colour, and regurgitates that information. So of *course* the description seems accurate. No idea how it picks the colour from all that, but maybe it is arbitrary. or they just have a bunch of colours for different possible answer combinations... This seems really silly to me, but on the other hand, it means that there memes will see especially *accurate*, and probably be more popular? It seems cheap, really. But maybe I'm just bitter because I don't like violet :p My point ewas that I've been seeing more and more memes like tis: where it's description is based on characteristics of the test-taker that they input themselves, and the quality determined by the test (e.g. your 'colour') is so esoteric or ephemeral that there's nothing to argue about or be dissapointed in :p
You know, I've realized that I'm often too lazy to be truly articualte on the internet. I wonder why? Maybe I'm just saving my energy for school. Speaking of which: Time for lunch, then read one more article...
