Jennifer, I followed your advice and did not stop to think.

"You're The Sound and the Fury!
by William Faulkner
Strong-willed but deeply confused, you are trying to come to grips with a major crisis in your life. You can see many different perspectives on the issue, but you're mostly overwhelmed with despair at what you've lost. People often have a hard time understanding you, but they have some vague sense that you must be brilliant anyway. Ultimately, you signify nothing.

The second to last sentence is pretty bang-on, but the suggestion that I "signify nothing" does very little for my self-esteem. No wonder, as I am supposed to be grappling with a previously undisclosed major crisis and am overwhelmed with despair!

What possessed my practical and pragmatic husband to post this quiz is a mystery to me. Perhaps he really does believe in fairies.

Here is the quote from Faulkner which better describes my aspirations:

"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life."

I am beginning to think that maybe this exercice is useful after-all...
