Okay, I guess that's right:
She Might Be a Progressive Girl if:
1. She drives: a small SUV but really wishes it got better mileage; once she can get a good hybrid, she will. I do drive a Honda CRV because it's a lot more practical out here in the sticks, hauling garbage and recycling up to the paved road and plants from the nursery, than a Jag....
2. She can talk for more than ten minutes about: just about anything. According to Mike and Sierra, I can talk the whole darn night to relatives and friends, though not necessarily about anything at all.
3. She begins her sentences with: "Susan Sarandon says..." Actually, I begin a lot of sentences nowadays with "[Insert name of any illustrious LJ friend here] on LiveJournal posted..."
4. She'd never: pass up the chance for a new experience. Some experiences I might pass up. You'll never see me on Fear Factor (nor will you see me watching it).
5. She owns any of the following: a water filter, a tabletop fountain, an acre of rain forest, a mutt from the pound. Water filter yes, 5 acres of Oregon forest yes, two cats adopted from homeless shelter yes.
She Might Be a Girl Next Door if:
1. She drives: a good, solid American car -- a Ford Taurus, Chevy Cavalier, or Dodge Stratus. Good heavens, not me.
2. She can talk for more than ten minutes about: her family's holiday traditions. And strange Southern family traditions in general...
3. She begins her sentences with: "my mother says..." Hmmmm
4. She'd never: go to a rave. That's correct.
5. She owns any of the following: scrapbooks, heirloom quilts, a Bible, family recipes, her grandmother's engagement ring. All but the latter. She was going to give me her old diamond necklace but it was stolen.
(My edits/comments in brackets. )The Girl Next Door is from a small town, a large family, or both...She calls her [relatives] every [chance she gets] and she's got her mom on speed dial [no, but I know all relatives' phone numbers by heart]. The Girl Next Door likes an uncomplicated life [then why is it so complicated? Maybe that's the Progressive Girl in me?]. She may not actually live on a farm, but she tends to keep a menagerie [I grew up on a "gentleman's" farm, meaning we had all the requisite farm animals, huge garden, lots of fruit trees and vines, and acreage, but that's not how we made our living; I now garden on a much smaller scale than that and without cows or chickens; and I would own a much larger menagerie if Mike weren't such a grump about it].
So I guess the test worked for me. At least for how I feel tonight, which is in need of something fun and not too serious. I'm tired of being over-analyzed. :-)
