Oh just admit it you closet! You are suffering from acute societal withdrawal syndrome and have the traits of a Hikikomori. You & your room will most probably look like this in 5 years time.
If you chose mostly Bs :
You are a hikikomori-in-the-making and you’ll most probably turn out like. . .:
If you chose mainly Cs :
Not a single gene in that groovy body of yours has the probability of hikikomori-mutation and your room will prolly still look like. . . :

Well Done! Bravo! Very creative and interesting read. I can never do it like you. You’ve earned some good comments too!
As for becoming a Hikikomori…actually not bad becoming one….can save a lot of monies…kekeke
Hahaha, I think simply because I actually go to school keeps me away from being a total hikikomori. But other than that… I guess I really like staying in my room a lot. I’m actually planning to set up a total entertainment system in my room come December so I have even more excuses to stay at home. Hahahaha.
LOL I’m a mostly “B”. *~*” If I’m not working, I’ll be at home. The thought of going out in crowded Orchard Rd to squeeze with the crowds and not being able to get to the next stage of my game after beating the boss just bothers me A LOT! I can’t stop thinking about it until I get to the stage I’m satisfied with where I’ve gotten or until my battery runs flat. Even then, there’s the charger. I can just sit there next to the power point and play. heehee!
Nice entry. Love this site! Will spread da word around!
I need to get my sister to take this test, I think she’s B → A soon.
im a B i think. going to school keeps me from becoming A. LOL
