    I don't know... does PAL Soccer count? They did teach me to play soccer...
12. The people in the media who dress and talk like me are portrayed positively.
    This one's tricky, too. 'like me' is hard to define. If you mean white people of my social class, then yes. If you mean females or geeks, then no.
13. Had a credit card with your name on it before you turned 18.
14. Your parents (or a trust) paid for the majority of your college costs.
15. Your parents (or a trust) paid for all of your college costs

17. Went to summer camp.
18. Had a private tutor before you turned 18.
19. Family vacations involved staying at hotels.
20. Your clothing was all bought new before you turned 18.
    Given that my siblings were male, I didn't get a lot of hand-me-downs, but I got some. Mom also used to sew some of my clothes.
21. Your parents bought you a car that was not a hand-me-down from them.
22. There was original art in your house when you were a child.
    I am going to assume that original art created by members of the immediate family (e,g. my mom or my great aunt) don't count.
23. You and your family lived in a single-family house.
24. You had your own room as a child
25. You had a phone in your room before you turned 18.
    I probably should have bolded this. I had a data line in my room for a while in high school, but didn't keep a phone attached to it.
26. Participated in a SAT/ACT prep course.
27. Had your own TV in your room in high school.
28. Owned a mutual fund or IRA in high school or college .

33. You were unaware of how much heating bills were for your family. I knew it was expensive and we kept the house as cool as possible, but not the dollar amount. I knew more about the water bills, actually.

I come out at twenty or a hair over, depending on some of the questions I quibbled on.

Well, apparently I'm in the right general area then...

I'm going to break the meme here and include 11-15, just on the grounds that my mother was an Anthropology Professor. (Note 11 and 14):

11. Anthropologist
12. Costume Designer
13. Set Designer
14. Professor
15. Corporate Trainer

You know, just in case anyone was curious.

I originally thought all the daemons must be ocelots, but I put in a bunch on not-me answers and managed a shrew, so there are others. This is an extra fussy version of the meme where you all have ten days to vote on whether my answers were right before the daemon commits to its shape.

Hooray for complexity.

Gacked from rhopalocerienne:
Directions: Go to popculturemadness.com and find the Greatest Hits for the year you turned 18. Cleverly note that this is totally US-centric and play along only if you're okay with that. Select the first 50. Bold the ones you like. Strike out the ones you hate. Italicize the ones you are familiar with but neither like nor hate. Leave the ones you don't know as is.

It's possible to likely that I'd recognize a lot of the "don't remember" songs if I heard them and just never registered the name of the song or the artist.

Now I leave work and go home. Yay.

This is from arkibet. The quiz is at FindYourSpot.

( 24 spots I should live, apparently )

Well, I did like Portland when I lived there. And arkibet, catwithbell, and lightningrose all got it somewhere on their list. I didn't get Hawaii though. Shame.
