OMG I'm a f**king HIPSTER!

Since when am I a f**king hipster?! I'm absolutely shocked yet at the same time suddenly feel the urge to buy a bike.

While planning the holiday campaign for Old Navy I decided I'd play around for a minute on one of the sites we RFP'd. While there I took one of their personality quizzes which helps define the type of person you're shopping for and suggests gifts. I decided I would be shopping for myself and see what the quiz thought I'd like.

After answering a series of questions it ends up I'm a freakin' hipster. I am a little discouraged to say the least. When did I suddenly develop an interest in spiking my hair, wearing chucks (all the time) and participating in critical mass? (hipster nerds... *shakes her head*).


I know I have some hipster inclinations:
  • I sometimes where chucks
  • I like Zeitgeist on sunny days
  • I used to roll one pant leg when I was in high school...for about a week
  • I have owned a bike
  • I once tried to wear glasses instead of contacts
  • I have an iPhone
  • I work in interactive advertising in San Francisco
  • Katie often makes me listen to indie rock
  • I use to travel around with my family and sing in different churches on Sundays...kinda like a band
  • I want a tattoo
  • I'm going to a neon party on Saturday night

I don't know though, somehow I still feel screwed over by this quiz. Some of the questions really weren't an easy answer.

For example:

Um if you know me, you know I like both.

Um neither...and who is this gang??...

Everyone knows the farmer's market starts too early for me to roll my ass out of bed...and who the hell are these kids?!...

So what? non-hipsters don't like to read? And what if there isn't a lake with rocks nearby to climb on huh?!


Totally rigged. So now because of the lack of imagination from Gifts.com, I'm a hipster. Apparently I'm going to have to get a lock necklace now... SoaB!!
