Bio
I suppose that I should give some sort of Bio - I'm a superannuated Boston transplant to the Seattle area who came out when the bottom fell out of the Telecom industry a few years back. Engineering just ain't what it used to be and it's unlikely it ever will be again. I'll get over it. I've lived here for five years and doubt that I'll ever get used to the west coast. That may not be a bad thing.

Where In Hell Are You?

Rate: 12 Flag

As politics seems to be ruling the airwaves and intertubes these days (gee, I wonder why) and as Rob St. Amant points out visits to "Crazytown" are all the rage, here's something a little lighter. Just where will you end up in hell? Personally, I was a little disappointed in my mediocre placement, I'll just need to try harder to be evil. Maybe a little more wrath, gloom, and treachery will do the trick.

I must have lied...I'm only going to purgatory!
I wound up on Level 6, but I could have been on Level 2, also. Both were tied.
Well... It doesn't look to good for me: Seventh Level of Hell was my score.
Wow! I got sent to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis, a place reserved for heretics. My score was very high. Right on, Satan!

"Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me!"
I felt sure I'd make the grade and get at least to Level 6, but I guess I'm more Lustful than Heretical by a nose. Somehow I think that Level Six is going to be the popular placement.

Joan, I think the nuns got to you early in life, hence the goody two-shoes rating. But, there's still hope.

Ric, I don't know how you got Seven, must be a case of a smoldering inner rage that doesn't show too much. Well, keep the home fires burning and there'll be a bell tower and scoped rifle in your future.
Hey, all my friends are going to the same place I am--the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis! Cool. That's where I'd expect the good parties to be in any case. (I mean, who wants to hang out with penitents, or the wrathful and gloomy, or the violent drunks, etc.? Maybe the lustful, but it would depend, wouldn't it? City of heretics it is.)
I'm in Purgatory. But I already knew that.
I'm in the sixth level too, with those furies with the serpent hair. I'm a naughty girl I guess. We could have an OS party till the end of time.
OMG -- you guys are going to love this -- I am in the Seventh Level of Hell -- Violent. Actually, I think it is not a moderate level based on what I read! Now I am going to have to go to church tomorrow, GD it! ;)
Level 2.

I'm Very Low for 6.

Must cuss more.
Torn between levels 2 and 6. Can't decide which would be more fun, but I also heard about great BBQ over at the fiery pits. . .
I'm on the second circle. very high. party time for me!
Stellaa, since we're going to be in level 2 together and I've read a lot of your "Beating the Euro" and other kitchen-related posts, could I get you to cook for me? Peppermint, I don't think you'll want any of what they're barbecuing. It's just a guess, but I don't think that they have a very good sauce for long pig. Now, while level 2 isn't very deep, I'm beginning to think that we'll all have fun being blown around together.

I'm really interested to see that we're now splitting between Levels 2 and 6. Maybe we can work out a deal for commuting.

Lisa, I'll have to admit that you could have knocked me over with a feather - violent???? Oh well, you think you know someone...
I posted a comment about a party on Level Six, but the e-demons ate it.

Lea, will you dance with me if I promise not to blow smoke in your face? I do a wicked Samba.
I noted in my disappeared comment that Billy Joel had said it well...
'They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun..."
Well, John, I think I answered the questions with no gray areas. For example, "Would I ever punch someone in the face?" I have slapped silly in the face someone that was attacking me, so I had to say "yes" to that. Would I normally do so, no. I think maybe I should retake it to see what I would be most "inclined" to do -- not what I have had to do? Will report back...
OK, now I am at level three. I have to say if I didn't like to eat, I would be just a mild sinner...I mean REALLY, I think I was only 18% evil (low) on Sally Swift's "Evil" quiz....;)
Level 8 - but, your honor, I welcome being an hypocrite to my younger self.

"Did you ever...have you ever...."
The only civilized answer to "Did you ever... Have you ever ..." is "But, of course - how much a naïf do I look?".

Lisa, I will allow that some of the questions are a little too black & white, not allowing for extenuating circumstances. I got nailed on a couple of those myself, which is why, I suspect, I'm on level 2 instead of 6.
I'm going to be sure that I'm really, really polite to you from now on, Lisa. You know, just in case. :-)
Told me Purgatory, but it could have been a lot of things :P

Purgatory Repenting Believers High
Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers High
Level 2 Lustful High

Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious Very Low
Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy Moderate

Whoa, shit, man! I wound up on the 7th level! WTF?

Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous Low

I think that last question, "Some people just deserve to die," did me in. I frequently quote Perry Farrel when I read a particularly heinous story: "Some people should die. That's just unconscious knowledge." Yup, guess I'm going to hell. :)
Level Two...and gosh darn it, I'm proud to be!
I'm here for the food & sex party...another lustful Level 2.
