Preppy, Wild or Eccentric?
Yes, it's official. The new, personality-defining theory is here. Stemming from one of my friends calling one my other mates 'boring' and her being called 'preppy' in return, it was decided that the world could be divided into people who appeared to be 'preppy', 'wild' or 'eccentric' at first glance (now, there is some dispute-age here, which i choose to ignore, the theory being mine and i'm never wrong :P although, i admit to being occasionally misguided).
Now, apparently, people who have been classified as 'preppy' are not happy chappies. It seems that people would much rather be 'wild'. However, as an alternative, people suggested a halfway between 'preppy' and 'wild'. The suggestion made was 'slutty', which obviously doesn't work, but which has now become a category anyway. So we've got four. And still only one for the preppy-ettes out there. Anyhoo, now for a point-of-reference, for all of you out there who want to be 'classified', i'll define each for you...
PREPPY
The prep is neat and precise, clever and kind of feminine. The Canturbury-wearing, polo-wanting, lolly-drink-drinking kinda gal. She can have STYLE and she doesn't have to be BORING, but she is slightly private school in her mannerisms. Polite, pretty, down-to-earth and nice but definately not a cow! --THIS IS NOT A BAD THING TO BE!!! So chill, my little sporting buddy :P
WILD
The 'wild one' (and here my brain says..."wild thing"..."jesus thing"... damn u ayles!) is not quite like the prep; but she is still polite, pretty, nice, all that jazz. The wild-child has much more of a unique (as in different, not bad) dress sense, you know, bright colours, bold patterns, big hair, that kind of thing. Often up for the more craaaazzzzy things in life, this gal is great for a good time (again, not saying that a prep isn't).
ECCENTRIC
This poor child isn't so lucky in life. While often just as nice and funny as her wild or preppy buddies, this little chickadee often comes off looking strange and unusual - something that she can possibly remedy at a later date, but also possibl a stigma she may be stuck with FOREVER!!! If you are this kind of girl... well, good luck to you...
SLUTTY
Ok, not such a huge fan of this category, seeing as i dislike the term 'slut', but it was voted in... so, i reckon it's fairly obvious; you know the drill - short skirts, lots of make-up, lots of guys... whatever.
And there you have it - the un-official personality parametres of the 20th century.
Which one are YOU?

may i remind everybody of the MINOR *cough* flaws in this argument by re-telling my wonderful, brilliant metaphor...
we have three catagories: dogs, horses and cows. here i have a cat. this cat is most definitely not a horse, nor is it a cow, therefore it must be dog. ILLOGICAL. STUPID.
my problem with this little theory of yours is that people are forced into one catagory simply because they dont fit into any of the others. a simple solution? a fifth catagory named 'other'... or more carefully thought about catagories :P
