72.2% I bow before you.

That is amazing! I took it twice (cause Vu was talking to me the first time). The first time I scored 72.2% and the second I scored 77.8%, which I'm happy about.

Oh yeah, and why don't you take up an instrument? It's never too late! Apparently MUSICIANS rarely score over 80%!

I might just do that!

Thanks for the tip on the test. It was fun!

What will be even more fun is you trying to figure out who I am. Yes, you actually know me, though it's been a long time since we've talked.

Oh wow. Now you've got me all flustered and curious.

OK, I'm going to make a WILD guess.

Is it Pauline?

You're no fun. You weren't supposed to guess correctly on your first try!

Ha ha, blame Google. It's far too easy to stalk nowadays. ;-) So great to hear from you! I'll have to read through your entire LJ to catch up on your life!

I got 83.3% and I'm a musician. Heh, I guess it's a good thing I decided not to pursue music as a career.

And I agree with the above poster.. you should pick up an instrument. It's fun!

As the test designer said, even professional musicians rarely score above 80%, so I don't see why you shouldn't have pursued music! ;-)
