ok, well I must have split personalities. I want to be the second girl and I have her underneath, but I'm mostly the first girl. Maybe it's just the sexual part of the second girl that calls to me.

You're a Girl Next Door
I come from a home where gravy is a beverage. -- Erma Bombeck
The Girl Next Door is from a small town, a large family, or both. She still has a healthy dose of what people 'round these parts call "family values." She calls her grandparents every Sunday and she's got her mom on speed dial. The Girl Next Door likes an uncomplicated life filled with the simple pleasures of family, home, kids, and food. She may not actually live on a farm, but she tends to keep a menagerie. Asked to choose between a dog and a cat, she generally won't. What's a good guard dog without a mouser to keep it company? She is caring and warm, welcoming and friendly. Anybody in your office ever bring in chocolate chip cookies? You got yourself a Girl Next Door.
The defining characteristics of the Girl Next Door are simplicity and tradition. Simplicity means that, unlike the Academic Girl, she's really not that interested in the great questions that keep philosophers up at night. When she can sit in the kitchen, drinking coffee, eating shortbread cookies with a friend, and listening to the cat purr on top of the radiator, what else is there to life? What else, indeed.
She Might Be a Girl Next Door if:
She drives: a good, solid American car -- a Ford Taurus, Chevy Cavalier, or Dodge Stratus.
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: her family's holiday traditions.
She begins her sentences with: "my mother says..."
She'd never: go to a rave.
She owns any of the following: scrapbooks, heirloom quilts, a Bible, family recipes, her grandmother's engagement ring.

You're a Party Girl
I like to have a martini, two at the very most -- after three I'm under the table; after four, I'm under the host. -- Dorothy Parker
Audrey Hepburn's character Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's is the quintessential Party Girl. Truman Capote named her for a woman who creates a holiday of life, and who takes it lightly. That classic scene of her standing in front of Tiffany's eating her breakfast roll and sipping coffee after being out on the town all night, her fridge with nothing in it, those wild cocktail parties. All very Party Girl.

New York City is also very Party Girl. As are LA, Miami Beach, London, Amsterdam, and of course, Vegas, baby, Vegas. Party Girls hate rural areas, because their worst nightmare is to be somewhere where there's nothing going on. The Party Girl is an extrovert, and she's usually very popular. If you're the kind of guy who likes to spend his Saturday nights watching DVDs or playing Scrabble, the Party Girl may be an unwise choice. She likes to have F-U-N.

If you want to keep up with this girl, you will need to know how to make a killer margarita, how to cure a hangover, and how to find the energy not to pull a wet-blanket, negatron move like falling asleep by the fifth club of the evening. (The answer to that last one is to have another vodka and Red Bull.)

She Might Be a Party Girl if:

She drives: a convertible or other sports car, or she rides on a "party bus" (you know, the ones that take you from bar to bar). Also: cabs and limousines.
She can talk for more than ten minutes about: the hottest bars, restaurants, and clubs -- in short, "the scene."
She begins her sentences with: "Make it a double."
She'd never: take up knitting.
She owns any of the following: cell phone, PDA or Filofax (to manage all her contacts), a sleeping mask and earplugs (since she often doesn't come home until the wee hours), travel-size toothbrushes and very dark sunglasses (for when she doesn't come home at all).
