OK, this was more fun than freaky.

It thinks I'm male (I'm a girl).

It knows about my horrible novelty YouTube habit (tons of humor/comedy/tv comedy categories). #guilty

It thinks I have pets/cats. (Nope. but given how many novelty youtube vids probably involve cats, not crazy.)

And yeah, lots of finance/tech/business categories.

For now, I'm leaving them all in and not removing.
