Another Problem Solved by the Internet

Those who know me understand I am probably the most indecisive person in existence (okay maybe that's a vast overstatement, but I'm also well practiced in melodramatics). I personally blame it on the parents giving me pocket money and saying I could only choose one packet of sweets from a range of fifty-odd tooth-rotting varieties. Where else could such indecision stem from if not my youth? The reality is I don't want a packet of sweets, I want Pick-n-Mix but unfortunately Woolworths has closed down and the dodgy market-stall version looks like a few to many toddlers have tampered with the jazzies. The beauty of Pick-n-Mix is that you get to have everything you want and nothing you don't, so there's no wondering what you could have bought instead of those Fisherman's Friend sweets you thought were only for grown-ups.

In reality the real issue is I like to have all the facts and information about a subject before committing to anything, which is ridiculous but I still manage to function in society. (Oh my readers....the two of you...I apologise for this sounding like a cognitive behavioural therapy session....oh wait that's my whole blog...whoops). Anyway I found a solution to the issue, and for anyone suffering with indecision like I am, there is hope! There is? Yes, fear not for the age of the online quiz is upon us!

Recent conversations have made me realise more than usual, people's political ignorances allegiances. As a non-committal wannabe tree-hugging hippy I just want to make the world a better place, but it seems others just don't care. The apparent middle-class epidemic is spreading and to confirm I wasn't contagious I did what any uncertain person would do, I took a quiz to tell me my future (computer algorithms work wonders at labeling you if you can't do the job yourself).

I always believed I was quite moderate, slight socialist tendencies with the occasional capitalist outburst, but it seems the results of the almighty quiz prove otherwise. I'm none other than a libertarian, and apparently I swing to left in regard to economics. It's okay though. I seem to be in good company, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, The Dalai Lama. They all are situated pretty close to my way of thinking, and everyone loves them...right? Unfortunately it seems that current western leaders are all on the other end of the spectrum....maybe it's time to take my vows at the monastery. Does orange suit my complexion?
