Frankly quite a feeble meme…

…Since none of it’s very clear. As far as I can work out, blue crosses mean something doesn’t apply to me; red question marks means it does.
Red question marks? What in God’s name is wrong with a nice old-fashioned tick? Honestly. Way to start with one set of imagery and suddenly turn it arse about face, table-loving meme dude…
…O, aye, and Paul, yer meme’s coming. I just haven’t got round to it yet!
(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

| ✓ I like the way that I look. | × I have lied to a good friend in the last 6 months. | × I am usually pessimistic. |

| ✓ I have a hidden talent. (Yeah. It’s called “not telling people what my talent is”) | × I’m always hyper no matter how much sugar I have. | ✓ I have a lot of friends. |

| ✓ I have a lot to learn. | × I am shy around the opposite sex. | ✓ I’m online 24/7, even as an away message. (Very nearly. But that’s “online” as in “on the Internet,” not “online” as in “on the internet and logged into an instant messaging client.” Sort the terminology out, wallybrains.) |

| ✓ I enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner. (Bearing in mind the USA-ness of this meme, the European transliteration for “Glass” would be “equal share of a bottle, between two-to-three people,” of course.) | ✓ I’m an artist. (Yeah. Science sucks.) | × I am ambidextrous. |
| × I sleep with so many stuffed animals, I can hardly fit on my bed. (I can hardly fit on my bed, anyway! It’s a two-foot-six folding thing as it is!) | × If it weren’t for having to see other people naked, I’d live in a nudist colony. (Yeah, ‘cos ticking that wouldn’t make me look a total wazzock. Why *else* would you live in a nudist colony? You can be naked at home, divot.) | × I have terrible teeth. (Nah, they’re all root-canaled and amalgam-filling reinforced.) |

| ✓ I have played strip poker with someone else before. | ✓ I have had emotional problems for which I have sought professional help. (I didn’t seek, I got given. Not that it helped, much.

You see tick characters rather than question marks if you have Arial Unicode MS installed. The meme author had it installed, and asumed everybody did.
But yeah; it’s a shitty meme.
