No matter how hard we sometimes try to stay anonymous, unbiased and relatively unopinionated, I hope by now we’ve all realized as bloggers that it’s completely impossible.
I tried being anonymous, and that was an exercise in futility. I like showing off my hair. I try very hard to keep my opinions on touchy topics (politics, religion) out of my blog, and sometimes that is hard. I like to think that while I’m hostile and snarky, I’m relatively unopinionated and don’t stir up heated debates on heavy topics.
Thanks to KeepingYouAwake, I’ve discovered Amplicate.com, a site that gathers Twitter information (peace out, anonymity!) and compiles lists of things you like and don’t like in hopes of one day taking you to dinner and serenading you with a song about your favorite things.
I figured if I typed in my username, GingerMandy, there wouldn’t be much information, and if there was information, it would be wrong. Here is what the site decided about my likes and dislikes.
Things that rock:
Tacos – um, duh… who doesn’t like tacos?
Blogging – indeed.
Peyton Manning – sure?
Nom – nomnomNOM.
Things that suck:
Bacon – determined by my tweet “I hate bacon.” Well done, Amplicate.
Mexico – but where else would I get the tacos?
Japan – bullshit! I love Asians. And sushi.
Milk – not a fan. Makes you fat.
Dave – ex boyfriend. Again, not a fan.
Kids – determined by my tweet “I hate kids.”
Poetry – determined by my tweet “I hate poetry.”
Humanity – determined by my tweet “I hate humanity.”
I guess I didn’t really make the search too difficult, did I?
It also recommended other people I may get along with according to our interests. My list may or may not have included P Diddy, Ryan Seacrest and Nick Cannon. Apparently we all love pig and dairy free breakfasts. Word.
Here’s what I have to say, Amplicate. Spot on. Spot. Freaking. On.
Now who still wants to be my friend?
