"There shall be eternal summer in
the grateful heart."
~Celia Thaxter
Hi all,
Well... later this week I will
be going on vacation and probly offline
until the 20th are so. Because I'm pretty busy with preparations,
this is a short newsletter. Pretty much just a goofy quiz.
I hope to send something upon my return on the 20th but we'll have to
see if that pans out or not.
God bless,
Jenni
How
Big of a TBAA/JD Fan are You?: The Summer 2010 Edition
So this is
all in fun.
Don't read too much into your
results. Unless you want to. :-)
1. You recently saw a
commercial for Sex and
the City 2 and your
reaction most closely resembled:
A. "Oh, there's a
sequel. Huh."
B. "Sigh... Another
movie John Dye is NOT in."
C. "OMG! That awful
Carl, Melina the Cult Member, and that
chick from Hocus
Pocus
are all in a movie together! And they're in a desert. I
remember when Andrew was in the desert... And he was wearing a
white shirt. Andrew..."
2. You're out gardening or
doing some other yard work. You
see a snake. What do you do?
A. Ignore it or watch and
admire.
B. Scream, fall to your
knees, and beg God to send Andrew to come
take care of the snake... then promptly forget about the snake because
you've started daydreaming about Andrew visiting your house.
C. Fondly recall Andrew
ordering the snake away in "Hearts" or
Dr. Ray handling one in "A Nest of Vipers."
3. There's severe
weather. You...
A. Prepare yourself and
your home and maybe give a thought to the
episode "Finger of God."
B. Start whining about the
fact that you don't live in Dyeland
and, therefore, cannot seek refuge in Andrew's basement and have him
adorably protect you.
C. Batten down the
hatches, listen to the weather report, and
wait it out.
4. You decide to go
camping and...
A. Spend the entire trip
engraving "Your Name Hearts Andrew" into
any tree trunk you come across or paint it on rocks and think of "The
Pact." Then start crying because Andrew's not with you.
B. Think of "The Pact" and
maybe giggle a bit at the memory of
Andrew in shorts and his hernia fears.
C. Swim, hike, stargaze...
all the normal camping stuff!
5. You have a lazy summer
afternoon all to yourself. You...
A. Spend a lil time on all
your hobbies, including viewing a TBAA
or ToD episode or JD movie.
B. Sleep.
C. Sleep and have an
amazing dream about Andrew but then get
woken up right at the best part and then sulk for the rest of the day
and resent anyone who had a part in waking you up.
6. It's been a hot day and
you decide to get a cool drink.
You go for...
A. Your favorite soda or
juice product.
B. Orange juice and ginger
ale and then after that
sarsaparilla! And you set an extra of each out for Andrew.
Just hoping...
C. Iced mocha latte,
smiling as you prepare it and think of your
favorite(?) caffeine-obsessed angel.
7. Back to the
camping. Everyone's telling ghost stories
around the campfire. You're most likely to...
A. Sit back and listen and
maybe add your own.
B. Enjoy the atmosphere,
get some chills, and have the fleeting
thought that maybe JD should be in a horror movie.
C. Boycott the
storytelling. Andrew would NOT approve.
8. You wake up from one of
those perfect summer sleeps. A
dove is cooing outside. You....
A. Race out of bed, run
outside, and start looking for Andrew
because if you heard a dove then obviously it MUST mean Andrew's around.
B. Settle back into your
pillows and smile dreamily, maybe
thinking of TBAA.
C. Go back to sleep.
9. It's Independence Day
in the U.S. You...
A. Enjoy the fireworks and
picnic. Or if not from the U.S.,
you spend the day enjoying yourself in some other fashion.
B. Start giggling
uncontrollably as you recall Andrew's weird lil
side curls during the Patrick Henry segment of "The Sign of the Dove"
and then tell everyone about "Beautiful Dreamer" only to wind up
pitching a fit because they don't share your passionate belief that
Abraham Lincoln was escorted Home by Andrew. If not from the
U.S., you pray to God that your fellow JABBers in the U.S. are
spreading the word about Andrew's brushes with American heroes and, if
you learn they're not, you plan to chew them out.
C. Think it's a perfect
time to watch "The Spirit of Liberty
Moon" and get choked up when you see the Statue of Liberty at
the
end. If not in the U.S., you just watch TBAA cause ya can and
want to.
10. To cope with the heat,
you head to your nearest swimming pool/ocean/lake/etc. While
swimming which thought are you most likely to have:
A. "Gosh, this is
heavenly!"
B. "You know what would
make this day even more perfect and summery? Watching Campus Man when I get home!"
C. "Mmm... This is
great. But... sigh... I wish Andrew were my swimming
teacher like he was in "The Pact." Or I wish he were here to put
sunscreen on my face like he did for Monica in "Charades." Andrew
should go swimming. Andrew needs a day off... Andrew in a
swim suit... ANDREW!!!!"
Now count em up
using the
following key:
For #1: "You recently saw a
commercial for Sex and
the City 2 and your
reaction most closely resembled"
If you answered A. "Oh,
there's a sequel. Huh," you get a 1.
And it sounds like your
ambivalence probly didn't make you miss out on a great cinematic
experience...
If you answered B.
"Sigh... Another movie John Dye is NOT
in," you
get a 2 and, yes, it's very
sad.
If you answered
C. "OMG! That awful Carl, Melina the Cult Member, and that
chick from Hocus
Pocus
are all in a movie together! And they're in a desert. I
remember when Andrew was in the desert... And he was wearing a
white shirt. Andrew..." you get
a 3 and a nice mental image of Andrew looking way lovely.
For #2. "You're out
gardening or doing some other yard
work. You
see a snake. What do you do?"
If you answered
A. "Ignore it or watch and admire," then you get a 1
and knowledge that you are
way braver than me.
If you answered
B. "Scream, fall to your knees, and beg God to send Andrew to
come
take care of the snake... then promptly forget about the snake because
you've started daydreaming about Andrew visiting your house," you get a 3 and
possibly a neighbor has
called Emergency Services to report a psychotic break.
If you answered
C. "Fondly recall Andrew ordering the snake away in "Hearts" or
Dr. Ray handling one in "A Nest of Vipers," then you get a 2
and knowledge that I think
you are cool.
For #
3. There's severe weather. You...
If you answered
A. "Prepare yourself and your home and maybe give a thought to
the
episode "Finger of God," you get a 2
and will probably be okay.
If you answered
B. "Start whining about the fact that you don't live in Dyeland
and, therefore, cannot seek refuge in Andrew's basement and have him
adorably protect you," then you get a
3 and, not gonna lie, I'm a lil concerned about your safety.
If you answered
C. "Batten down the hatches, listen to the weather report, and
wait it out," you get a 1 and
good on
you for being a responsible person.
For #
4. You decide to go camping and...
If you answered
A. "Spend the entire trip engraving "Your Name Hearts Andrew"
into
any tree trunk you come across or paint it on rocks and think of "The
Pact." Then start crying because Andrew's not with you," you get a 3 and
lots of crazy/annoyed
stares, probly.
If you answered
B. "Think of "The Pact" and maybe giggle a bit at the memory of
Andrew in shorts and his hernia fears," then you get a 2
and I'm right there with
ya!
If you answered
C. "Swim, hike, stargaze... all the normal camping stuff!" then you get a 1
and I hope ya have fun!
For #
5. You have a lazy summer afternoon all to yourself. You...
If you answered
A. "Spend a lil time on all your hobbies, including viewing a
TBAA
or ToD episode or JD movie," then you
get a 2 and a nice day!
If you answered
B. "Sleep," then you get a 1
and, hopefully, sweet dreams!
If you answered
C. "Sleep and have an amazing dream about Andrew but then get
woken up right at the best part and then sulk
for the rest of the day
and resent anyone who had a part in waking you up," then you get a 3
and I'm jealous that you
had even an interrupted Andrew dream.
For #
6. It's been a hot day and you decide to get a cool drink.
You go for...
If you answered
A. "Your favorite soda or juice product," then you get a 1
and yumminess.
If you answered
B. "Orange juice and ginger ale and then after that
sarsaparilla! And you set an extra of each out for Andrew.
Just hoping..." then you get a 3
and
probly disappointment... So very sad.
If you answered
C. "Iced mocha latte, smiling as you prepare it and think of your
favorite(?) caffeine-obsessed angel," then
you get a 2 and now I'm craving an iced mocha...
For #
7. Back to the camping. Everyone's telling ghost stories
around the campfire. You're most likely to...
If you answered A. "Sit
back and listen and maybe add your own," then you get a 1
and chills.
If you answered B. "Enjoy
the atmosphere, get some chills, and
have the fleeting
thought that maybe JD should be in a horror movie," then you get a 2
and I would totally
support that idea... as long as it's not a slasher flick.
If you answered C.
"Boycott the storytelling. Andrew would
NOT approve," then you get a 3
and
likely nasty looks from co-campers. Eeek.
For #
8. You wake up from one of those perfect summer sleeps. A
dove is cooing outside. You....
If you answered A. "Race
out of bed, run outside, and start
looking for Andrew
because if you heard a dove then obviously it MUST mean Andrew's
around," then you get a 3
and my hope
that you weren't wearing embarrassing pajamas... like maybe a certain
CafePress T-shirt... and spotted by neighbors.
If you answered B. "Settle
back into your pillows and smile
dreamily, maybe
thinking of TBAA," then you
get a 2 and an awesome-sounding morning.
If you answered C. "Go
back to sleep," then you get a 1
and, hopefully, rest.
For #
9. It's Independence Day in the U.S. You...
If you answered A. "Enjoy
the fireworks and picnic. Or if
not from the U.S.,
you spend the day enjoying yourself in some other fashion," then you get a 1
and a fun time.
If you answered B. "Start
giggling uncontrollably as you recall
Andrew's weird lil
side curls during the Patrick Henry segment of "The Sign of the Dove"
and then tell everyone about "Beautiful Dreamer" only to wind up
pitching a fit because they don't share your passionate belief that
Abraham Lincoln was escorted Home by Andrew. If not from the
U.S., you pray to God that your fellow JABBers in the U.S. are
spreading the word about Andrew's brushes with American heroes and, if
you learn they're not, you plan to chew them out," then you get a 3
and maybe not invited
back next year... No respect from the public for the crazed
Andrew fans, I'm afraid.
If you answered C. "Think
it's a perfect time to watch "The
Spirit of Liberty
Moon" and get choked up when you see the Statue of Liberty at the
end. If not in the U.S., you just watch TBAA cause ya can and
want to," then you get a 2
and
welcome to my 4th of July. I love it.
For #10. To cope
with the heat, you head to your nearest swimming
pool/ocean/lake/etc. While swimming which thought are you most
likely
to have:
If you answered A. "Gosh,
this is heavenly!" then you get a 1
and I hope ya get that heavenly day!
If you answered B. "You
know what would make this day even more perfect and summery?
Watching Campus Man when I get home!" then you get a 2
and am I the only one who has a hard time watching that movie any time
except the summer??? I think I get jealous of their sunniness
otherwise.
If you answered C.
"Mmm... This is great. But... sigh... I wish Andrew
were my
swimming teacher like he was in "The Pact." Or I wish he were
here to
put sunscreen on my face like he did for Monica in "Charades."
Andrew
should go swimming. Andrew needs a day off... Andrew in a
swim
suit... ANDREW!!!!" then you get a 3
and, yes, Andrew probly would look good in a swim suit although... I
will never get over the jeans and flannel, personally.
Results:
If you got 10-16, you're
a
Normal Person. Occasionally you
get the urge to watch TBAA or some other John Dye project but you can
go days without so much as thinking about either. How exactly do
you put up with us? ;-) Also, it seems like you picked a
lot of answers involving sleep. You may be sleep deprived.
Or maybe the person writing this quiz is...
If you got 17-24, you're a
Dedicated Fan. You love TBAA and
other pieces of John Dye's filmography. You watch it whenever you
can and through out the day various things make you smile as you recall
Andrew, Doc Hock, etc. But you're not obsessive. You have
fun but you're not about to derail your day or mood or schedule your
plans around precious "Andrew Time."
If you got 25-30, I'm just gonna
be blunt: you need help.
Seriously. We all love TBAA and such but you've taken it to an
unhealthy place. Your interest in Andrew may be causing problems
in your real life and he would never want that. So just chill out
and drink that extra ginger ale yourself. You'll be fine!
Or... do you wanna come hang out with me? Later I'm going flannel
shirt shopping and then plan to wander fields screaming Andrew's name
while reading Wordsworth poems aloud. ;-)
