20 Questions to a Better Relationship
eXpressive: 9/10
Practical: 4/10
Physical: 5/10
Giver: 6/10

You are a XSIG--Expressive Sentimental Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Teddy Bear.
Hee! I just want to give you a big squeeze. You are tender, honest, generous and fair. You are an excellent kisser and a sensitive, communicative lover, and you know it. You would never intentionally hurt someone's feelings or overstep his/her boundaries. You have beautiful eyes.
Most people take your laid-back attitude, blazing wit and subtle sexiness and stick you in "friend." But some see your extreme hotness for what it is and latch on. This means you have a few members of your target sex in the bank at all times -- I call this "money in the sex bank" -- but you're too sensitive and thoughtful to exploit them. More than once.
You are so rational and deliberate in an argument that it can frustrate and exhaust your partner. Your fights can take forever, but your press on with them until they are completely resolved and both you and your partner are satisfied. If your partner is weak of will, s/he may just give in -- be wary of this! An emotional or passive-aggressive outburst later will hurt and horrify you.
It is *critically important* that you are able to respect your partner. The moment you lose respect for him/her, you lose everything.
When you make friends, you make them for life -- you can go without speaking to a friend for years and pick up right where you left off. You are completely faithful, both physically and emotionally. You are the second best (to XPIG) parent of any type.
If you are male, you have a huge shlong. Just saying.
Of the 3933 people who have taken this quiz, 11.7 % are this type.

Reality

I'm up at 1:53 am in the morning watching The Iron Chef. I just thought about the fact that the majority of television I watch is Reality based. I thought damn, *I wonder how many Reality TV Shows there have been* So, I started my quest for this information.
I also think some of the shows on HGTV and the Food Network qualify as reality tv but they were not incorporated in any of the listings I found. Also, some other MTV shows are not on the list, cause what about Cribs? And BET's awful attempt at Reality TV is also missing, College Hill, everything from the treatment to the acting was ghetto! No other reality show had a pregnant girl! Leave it to the nigs lol. Other BET Reality shows, How I'm Living, Access Granted and Coming To The Stage. Some of the shows listed, I've never heard of. Some are new for 2004 and haven't aired yet. Oh, and I almost forgot, A&E's Growing Up Gotti is missing!! Those boys are sooo cute! Victoria needs to knock them in the mouf a little more tho, I wouldn't deal with the back talk. I will bold the ones I watch/watched!
Which ones do you like?

Here is what I found:

Docu Soaps
·An American Family (1973)
·The Real World (1992) Old School fav!
·Road Rules (1994) I like, but they get too dirty!
·Airline (US; 2004 on A&E Network) Enjoying this one!
·American Chopper (2003)
·The Restaurant (2003) I like Chef Rocco
·Starting Over (2003)
·American Hot Rod (2004)
·Rachael Rocks (2004)
·Family Plots (2004) New, OK so far...
·The Casino (2004)

Historical re-creation
·The Edwardian Country House aka Manor House (2002)
·Frontier House (2002) (US; PBS show set in the American frontier of 1883)
·Colonial House (2004) (US; PBS show set in the American frontier of 1628)
·Warrior Challenge (2004) (US)

About Aaron:
A few years ago, Aaron McGruder, a young college student dissatisfied with both college and the comic-book world, decided to create a comic strip inspired by his love of hip-hop culture that reflected the true racial diversity and complexity of the world in which he lived.
The result was "The Boondocks," the story of a group of African-American city kids adjusting to life in white suburbia. After an initial debut on the Internet, "The Boondocks" made its print debut in 1997 in The Diamondback, the independent student newspaper of the University of Maryland. It received rave reviews and quickly drew national attention. After Aaron "escaped" from the University of Maryland with a degree in African-American studies, The Source, one of the country's largest urban music magazine, began publishing the strip. Through his work, Aaron seeks to provoke thought, help improve the state of racial discourse and expand the types of humor found on comics pages.
Aaron resides in Los Angeles, where - when he isn't meeting the demanding deadlines of a daily comic strip - he's working on television projects and a host of other interesting ideas for "The Boondocks." He's a near-fanatical "Star Wars" fan and a hip-hop enthusiast of the greatest magnitude.
