You sure do want to know a lot about me.

I'll reveal what I want, when I want. That's
not paranoia, just me being me.

If you were trying to bore me to tears,
it worked, if you were giving me your
resume, sorry we're not hiring. If you
were trying to get me to tell you stuff
by you doing it first, you've failed.

What cat's out of the bag? You've
lost me here.

What info are you talking about?

Nope, sorry Charlie, that's too personal.

Actually, who cares. It's just your stupid

You know what would really throw you off?
An extreme right wing vegan. I used to
know a fairly right wing vegetarian, would
that do?

You have just revealed what you want out
of this test. You are hoping for left wing
views to appear, so that you can insult
them like in the above paragraph.
