Draw a house for fun and profit! Actually it's some kind of "personality test," but you can put your houses together with friends' on a street. Fun if you're looking to kill some time, and we both tknow that's why you're here. (Link goes to constructing a house to add to MetaChat Lane)

MetaChat Lane! That's where we live!

It was fun and I have already made 23% profit! Thanks kyleg!

My house kicks your house's butt. That is all.

Wow, that was great fun. I had a negative profit though. And my house totally kicks your house's butt. Even the website thinks so.

panoptican's death factory is pretty great.

Here is MetaChat lane too, in case you don't feel like drawin.

That as a personality test is something I remember my mom teaching me when I was little. It's been around a good while.

Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality:
Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You love your house and family. You are a gifted artist as well.

I stopped reading right there. It didn't even recognize that I drew a glass house!

WTH? Is Edible flipping us off?

Thanks, kyleg. That was super.

"Is Edible flipping us off?"
Nah, just bindged and about to purge.

arse_hat, you're also cracking me up tonight.

That personality description was whack. The flash drawing was kinda fun, tho.

OH NOES!! I drew a beautiful house but it's not showing up in Metachat Lane. I had cookies turned off. But. *sigh*

I have a woodblock print of a snowmobile that I traded a sketch of a paperclip for. Anyone wanna trade?

Aw I didn't know that the final result would be a shrunken version of what I had drawn, or I would have made the words bigger. Cool thingy, tho.

Oh noes! Fire on Metachat Lane! And it's my next door neighbor too. Better keep that shit on your own lot. My house just went up. ;)

Should I be disturbed that I am right next to Hell House?

My personality results said that I'm king of metachat lane. Benevolent, senile king.

I'll bring the keg to the block party. I hope no one falls in my moat.
posted by SassHat 12 December | 10:58
Alright, tracicle. That was really funny.
posted by sbutler 12 December | 11:02
That was totally fun, but my personality test says I'm a hopeless loser who is doomed to live alone forever. Drat.
posted by mygothlaundry 12 December | 11:39
It says I'm quiet and reserved and shy and shit. Bwhahahahahaha! Also, I'd like to mention that there seem to be a fair number of us that drew basements and obliettes. Ah...you are my people!
posted by PsychoKitty 12 December | 11:48
Some of y'all are cheating & drawing on tablets, aren't you? Don't lie to me, I can tell.
posted by muddgirl 12 December | 12:53
Stupid test. If I knew I was going to have to draw stuff around the house I would've made it smaller. Metachat Lane looks pretty cool though.

What was?

Ooooh, Magic Castle rocks!

Why thanks. I snatched it up during the real estate bubble.

What was?

I was looking along at the houses and asked myself "Okay! Which joker submitted a blank one?" Then I read your comment and laughed.
posted by sbutler 12 December | 14:22
I blame it on the firebugs at no. 21. Hopefully I'm insured.

I drew my house. Yes, I wanted to be an architect, and I do like Peewee's Playhouse and Tim Burton.

Here is my personality, in internet form:
Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You are [a] very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. son [but only among friends. People who don't like me much don't like me much. And my enemies hate me].

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. [didn't you just say this? but excitement? Yeah, I'm parachuting!] You have a strong personality and you like to command, influence and control people. [I don't just like to; it's my duty, son, as the great person that I am.]

You are not a romantic person by nature [just plain wrong]. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt [mgl, back me up on this]. You don't think much about yourself [I think about myself a lot, but I don't have a high opinion of myself. Which is it?].

Bold I agree with, Italics are dead wrong!

My house

Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader (this is so very wrong). You are a freedom lover and a strong person (depends on the situation). You are shy and reserved (ain't it da truth). If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone (wrong - I love living with my husband and wee beasties). You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends (you gotta be joking). Your life is always full of changes (boring would be nice once in a while).

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible (I tend to be a loner). You love excitement and create it wherever you go (Hahahahaha!). You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love (I want people to like/love me). It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself (my self-esteem is non-existent).

Italics = disagree, bold = agree.

Some of you are real artists. I'm especially partial to MiHail's house. I loves me a Super Mario Mushroom. And does her bag say D&G on it?

ON PREVIEW: See, deborah's following my stylistic convention. I am a leader.
posted by Eideteker 12 December | 17:02
It just said draw a house, it didn't say to draw a lot of stuff around it! My house pales in comparison to all of yours!
posted by sisterhavana 13 December | 00:43
