Anyone who took the quiz and wanted to see the answers asked for them to be emailed to them, I'm sure. (The quiz is closed now.)
But here are a few details that amuse me:
Flowers. Iris is my favorite right now, but I love both rose and lilac, just not quite as much at this moment. I am, in fact, allergic to all of them, but it doesn't mean I like them less for it.
Foods. Chicken parmesan is a doubly-whammy: a blended flavor that's too rich for my tastes, and cheese, which means I'd have to take a pill to be sure it wouldn't upset my stomach. Mind you, I don't necessarily love the other choices (though Twix bars and lentil soup, I do), but I like them just fine, and won't wince if they're served to me.
Pets. You all are in for some pet stories somewhere in the near future, I think. Sweety was a cat I named when I was five or so. My mother thought I was nuts to give him that name, but he lived up to it. And Jack was my parakeet. Lightfoot was another cat, and Basta is a cat who is still living with my parents. Shadow was the first name I thought of randomly that wasn't screamingly obviously not me, but which name I had also never given to a pet. (I'm sure no one would have any trouble guessing that I've never had a "Fluffy".)
Techno-geekery. Laptop would have been at the top of the list 3 months ago. It'll be a few years before I recover enough from the laptop nightmare to view a new one with such enthusiasm, I think. *grins*
And for those of you who answered house by the ocean - not as much as I want the forest. If I could get a house by a stream, in a forest, a half-hour's drive from the ocean, that would be just about perfect, though.
Languages: Spanish and English. I'm capable of saying a few words, but not a sufficient vocabulary for directions, in Japanese, German, and French. (Yes/no hello/bye sorts of things. And 'idiot' and 'oh, cute!' in Japanese, thanks to my friends...none of which vocabulary will so much as let me ask where the bathroom is, were I ever to need to.)

In practice, I thought only my parents could probably get the pet one, because of Jack.
In actuality, after talking to them (they never took it), I discovered they would have missed that one, because they had a dog named Jack before I was born, and that was who came into their heads when they heard that name! So they would've chosen him as well. *laughs* My poor, forgotten parakeet.
Re:
Some I had to do a little guesswork, but the rest I tried to answer from what you write about every day!

He used to walk on my globe, when let out of his cage.
