You guys remember MySpace, right? Do you remember those super long, ridiculous MySpace quizzes and surveys from back in the day? I was taking a quiz on Buzzfeed (as you do), when I began thinking about Simon (as you do) from Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. I could just perfectly picture him sitting around with Blue being silly and taking some old MySpaces quizzes just because. So I asked Becky if she’d like to fill out a survey and take a few Buzzfeed quizzes as Simon to see what he’d say and what results he’d get. Because Becky is AWESOME, she said yes. What follows is Simon’s MySpace survey answers as well as the results of six Buzzfeed quizzes, including his reactions to those results. Enjoy! [She answered everything post-book, but there are NO spoilers!] After you read, go enter to win a signed copy of the book on my Twitter!

I don’t know about you, but this is basically my new favorite thing. Ever. I LOVE Simon, and I’m amazed by just how real he feels to me (and a lot of people who’ve read this book). I would totally be friends with him IRL. I want everyone to read this debut, so I’m giving away a SIGNED copy on Twitter. If you haven’t already entered, you still have until April 30, so GO ENTER!
