the oracle is wrong, wrong, wrong I tell you!

I was looking through some funny links and decided to do the Starbucks Oracle out of sheer boredom. It says my personality is the following because I drink machiattos all the time:

-------------
Personality type: Clueless
You don't go to Starbucks much; when you do you just tag along with other people since you have nothing better to do. You would like to order a Tazo Chai Crème but don't know how to pronounce it. Most people who drink espresso machiatto doppio are strippers.

Also drinks: Wine coolers
Can also be found at: The mall

Wrong, wrong, wrong!!!

1. YES, they are right that I only go there when i have nothing better to do. I don't like their coffee roasting since it's quite bitter, I prefer something lighter, which is why i get coffee from italy/france.

1. WRONG. I DO KNOW how to pronounce these coffee drinks. In fact, I get upset because when I say "machiatto" in the proper italian (because YES I DO speak it) no one at starbucks knows what I am talking about. It sounds like "mah-keeh-ah-tto" not "mah-keah-ro". Notice the TWO ts. In italian you have to be careful with this, when you have two consonants you have to drag the sound of the of the consonant. This can make a BIG difference if you are in Rome and ask for pasta with ragu sauce or male genitals with ragu sauce. And no, it did not happen to me but I have heard italians speak about these stories.

3. WRONG. I would prefer a nice cup of REAL tea, for example, a delicious Earl Grey is perfect any time, with our without milk.

4. WRONG. I am not a stripper, I am rather shy.

5. WRONG. I do not drink coolers at all. Had one once and had enough, I prefer nice bodied red wines; for example Cotes du Rhone or Bordeaux; I also enjoy Riojas very much and love wines from Australia.

6. WRONG. I have not been to a mall in...hmm...actually I do not remember the last time I was in a mall!! It must have been around Christmas.

Anyway, I am not upset (ok I am)...and ok, i was really bored too.
