What John Cusack movie are you?

Best John Cusack movie ever! Pretty accurate quiz---I was the brainy girl in high school, and most of my boyfriends were charming underachievers. Lloyd Dobler made romancing teenage girls a lot harder---I was waiting for a guy to hold a boombox above his head outside my bedroom window.

Saw this floating around . . .

How many hours of sleep do you get in a day? 7-8. Not consecutively; I'm usually awakened at least two or three times a night.
How often do you bath your baby/kids? Ginger gets a bath once a week and wiped down daily. Spencer gets a bath or shower every other day.
How often do you do laundry? How many loads a week? Every freaking day. Usually two or three loads a day. It never ends.
How often do you clean out your car? I try to get the junk (papers, cups, pop cans) out every time I get out of the car if my hands aren't full of kids/groceries/diaper bags.
How often do you and your husband get out of the house for a date? Once every couple of months, probably, when Mom or Carrie is here to babysit. It's not usually a date, though; more likely we're running errands together.
How often do you grocery shop? Once a week.
How often do you go out to eat? Once every other week, maybe? Usually we get Moe's for takeout. With a squirmy toddler and a fussy baby, we don't actually sit in a restaurant and eat very often.
How many diapers a day do you go through? 10-12 between the two kids.
How often do you clean your house? It's an ongoing process. Dishes and laundry every day, vaccum once a week, sweep the kitchen floor daily, bathrooms once a week.
What are your favorite household cleaning products? Mrs. Meyers Clean Day All-Purpose Cleaner in Lavender.
How often do you watch television? Something for me and not Playhouse Disney or PBS? Every evening, usually between 9 and 11, I watch an hour or two of television while I'm knitting.
How often do you have alone time? Almost every day. I'm lucky that way; I put Ginger to bed at 7, Gary puts Spencer to bed between 8:30 and 9. Sometimes Gary gets back up, sometimes he just stays in bed. When he doesn't get up, 9-11 is Amy Time. After a long day with the little ones, lordy, do I need it!

Because it's 11 p.m. and I should really be in bed, the ABC thing floating around:

Your word is CRAP. You come across as sweet and
innocent, yet underneath it all there is a
quite nasty streak. Gossiping and being
critical of others comes a bit too naturally to
you. And people will begin to see through the
sickly sweet exterior soon.

Which Swear (Curse) Word Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

This does not surprise me at all. I have never been a big swearer, but I do use the word 'crap' pretty often---often enough that I have to watch myself around Spencer these days. My Outlook folders are named "amy's crap," "knitting crap", etc. I think this was one of the first quizzes to make sense to me.
