Chance says there’s a new memefication where you choose the artist who would paint you. (And Sharyn started it!)
After rejecting Lucien Freud (too pervy), John Singer Sargent (actually, he could paint me too), and Mary Cassatt (too solemn and way into babies), I decided on Lynda Barry.
(Note: I love the other three artists too, but not quite as much as Lynda Barry.)

My brain is jelly. Got through to the end, but have to do a few more things before I can officially say I’m done. Close though. (However, still behind on email and must come up with story for class.) Need more brains, as zombies say.
So. Extremely silly quiz behind the cut.

There is a lot more to you than meets the eye. You certainly get plenty of "action," but you’d be happier if those who lusted after you were more selective. You hate being used as a general intensifier; haven’t these people ever heard of underlining? Italics? And yes, you remember the cruel words Mr. Joyce directed at you. But you let none of this get you down; those who abuse you are destined for a "special" reward, sooner or later. You feel particularly warm toward periods, commas, exclamation points, and question marks, and usually wish to have them next to you. Parenthesis can sometimes trouble you. |
