BLUE PLACIDOLA
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who maintains an oasis of calm in the midst of any storm. Family and friends come to you for advice because they don't have the time for you to come to them. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time wandering around the downtown area seeking to buy either an AC adapter for your CD player or storage boxes for your family photos. Be on the lookout for malfunctioning pocket calculators. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter M, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 802148. Your preferred shopping venue is department stores. Your special symbol is the at sign (@).
Is this You?
As a Blue Placidola, you are easy-going and even-tempered, calm and composed. For you, the hectic pace of a crowded shopping mall during the holiday rush is nothing, it's little more than a tranquil stroll in the park. Life is good. Life goes on. Why worry. You are a happy shopper and you seldom fret over trivial details of a market exchange, in part because you are astute enough to get moderately low prices and relatively good deals.
This isn't me! What am I?

The Northwest Queoldiolans have a cute habit of wearing those little hats with the squirrel tail hanging from the back. They also manufacture the best sundials that money can buy. As a tourist mecca, there's nothing quainter or more courteous than the Republic of Northwest Queoldiola.
