Mmmmm, Stuffing

Katie posted another quiz from the same site as the last. Seeing as the question was “What part of Thanksgiving are you?” and that it’s a mere few days away, I couldn’t resist.

You Are the Stuffing

You’re complicated and complex, yet all your pieces fit together.
People miss you if you’re gone - but they’re not sure why.
What Part of Thanksgiving Are You?

Libertarian for Life

An online quiz just confirmed what I already knew. Fuck the two parties!

You Are a “Don’t Tread On Me” Libertarian
Libertarian Image
You distrust the government, are fiercely independent, and don’t belong in either party.
Religion and politics should never mix, in your opinion… and you feel opressed by both.
You don’t want the government to cramp your self made style. Or anyone else’s for that matter. You’re proud to say that you’re pro-choice on absolutely everything!
What political persuasion are you?

What is the Best Free Hosted Blogging Service?

Some of my friends (Katie and Dana) use free blogging services, namely, LiveJournal and Blogger/Blogspot respectively. I personally went straight to Movable Type and then WordPress hosted on my own domain.

Of those two choices I’d tend to go with Blogger. It’s owned by Google now, so there’s plenty of growth potential. Probably the main reason would be that I actually dislike LiveJournal because: it’s slow, its themes are applied only to the front page (comment pages are the horrendous style of the rest of the site), it’s slow, you are forced into a long address (even blogspot gives you a subdomain), it’s slow, everyone and their brother has an account there so you’re forced into an obscure AIM screename-ish username, and did I mention it’s slow? Yeah. I don’t like LiveJournal… at all… in any way… shape… or form.

I’m curious though, what do y’all use and why?
