Quiz: How do you know you have hit rock bottom?

I know that I really shouldn't be sitting on my computer on the Fourth of July, let alone posting on my blog (twice), but I have to say this somewhere:

Sometimes facebook makes me sad. It makes me sad when the same person takes a thousand and five Facebook quizzes a day. No, I am not talking about the occasional interest in "What Seinfeld character you would be?"... or "What color would you be?" (I admit I guilty of taking this one... for some unknown reason) I am, in fact, talking about the constant stream of results from various quizzes that are then relayed in my status updates. It tells me that the person in question either a) has WAY too much time on their hands, b) maybe having an identity crisis, c) didn't get enough quizzes in middle school in their Seventeen Magazine or d) have nothing more inspiring in their life to engage in rather than taking Facebook quizzes constantly.

Option e) "all of the above" leaves me tremendously distressed.

Today I believe I witnessed an Option E, or a hitting of rock bottom of sorts: one of my "friends" on facebook, a compulsive quiz-taker, took the quiz "What would I be if I were a 4th of July Firework?". 
Scary, wrong, disturbing, and most of all, uninteresting.
