WTF Wednesday and Another Acronym that Applies

I took a Facebook quiz called, "What's Your Mental Disorder?" the other day. It confirmed what I already knew, just in case you were doubting that I am a smart blognut.

I've always said I have self-diagnosed Attention Deficit Disorder, and now I have Facebook some-moron-wrote-a-diagnostic quiz-and-I-nailed-it ADD.

So it must be true.

Wait! What were we talking about?

Here's what they say about it on Facebook: Though you aren’t really crazy, you do have issues. You are impulsive, hyperactive, and not to mention easily distracted. You can’t sit still and you don’t exactly think before you act. You just need to learn how to chill and everything will be good.

Yep. That's me.

I just love those facebook quizes - they are scientifically accurate and on the money. Every one of them. My fave is Which Plastic Soldier Are You and, uhm, ..is that a shiny gum wrapper down there?

Leah said...

LOL Nothing better than being diagnosed for a disorder by a 15 year old who was bored so they made up some stupid quiz rather than do their homework!

Me too, blognut. Me too. (except that I can lay on the couch for hours, as long as my laptop is nearby, but I guess that means my fingers are moving, so not technically sitting still).

My guess is blogland is full of our peeps.

I also self diagnose my disorders (I suffer from many) and I also share in this one. You are not alone.

Call Me Cate said...

Yeah, that's it. Just learn to chill. That's all there is to it! So simple!

I think many of us have a touch of the ADD--I clean in a circle--I can't stay in one place too long, but I get it all done.

I'm too afraid to take that facebook quiz... it will confirm my worst fears. Besides, I already know I'm whacked. OCD, ADD, ASD, etc., etc. Unless, of course, they've come up with some really interesting new acronyms.

And oh, so funny!

C.B. Jones said...

It usually takes me about three hours to read one blog post, so I know a little something about what you're going th...

Michel said...

Shit! CB Jones' comment cracked me up!

However, WTF FACEBOOK! Don't you judge us! Not unless you're going to dole out interest Rx's for adderall, otherwise Just shut it!

mo.stoneskin said...

C.B. Jones has a seal by his window? Blimey, and for the record, I'm pretty good at concentrating which is why I don't get sidetracked by other comments.

Suzy said...

You just described my mom. I can sit still for hours if there's a pool involved.

She said...

Yeah, well, I'm supposed to just "cheer up!" So, you "chill" and I will "cheer up," and all will be right with the world! ;-)

Love ya JUST THE WAY you are!!!

I use FAcebook to diagnose all of my serious ailments. It is super cheap

What?? Blognut is perfect! How dare Facebook!

blognut said...

MUSE I like the ones that tell me which 80's rock star I am. I am not an 80's rock star, but if Facebook wants to say so, who am I to argue?

LEAH Exactly!

PHD Well, you would know, my dear! You would know!

SHERRI What other disorders should we take on?

CATE See? I didn't know it was that simple either, but now I do!

JENN And I? Get nothing done. I get a lot of things started, though.

CATLADY Let's make up some!

DIZZ I know! I saw it, too!

WANDA :)

CB LOL! That totally happens to me!

MICHEL I WANT THE ADDERALL!!!

MO I wondered about his window seal, too, but I wasn't gonna say anything.

SUZY I can sit still for a few minutes if there's sleep involved.

SHE I'll cheer you up, and you chill me out, 'k?

CHIEF And there's no co-pay!!!

FROGS You're exactly right. I'm outraged at Facebook now.

♥ Braja said...

I just heard that Michel is writing quizzes for Facebook....

Gaston Studio said...

LMAO at Braja's comment!

Kelly said...

How the hell are you supposed to chill and focus with all the blue fuzz in your peripheral vision??? It would distract the hell out of me too. Then again... ANYTHING distracts me.

Hit 40 said...

I don't need facebook to tell me that I am ADHD!!! Impulsive, do not like to sit still, does not finish tasks, unorganized....

yep that's me!!

Cheri @ Blog This Mom! said...

What is WRONG with me? WHY have I spent so much time and money in therapy when all I had to do was take a Facebook quiz?

Gotta go see if my Facebook account is still active . . .

SabrinaT said...

Yeah, I took that quiz on FB. It says I have OCD. Wanna trade???

Pouty Lips said...

This would be why I take valium.

I am off to try that right now - Provided that the Men In White Coats wouldn't be available to come and take me away, a-ha, hee-hee, ho-ho! xox
