jbacardi:Your result for The Director Who Films Your Life Test...
Edward D. Wood, Jr.
Your film will be 49% romantic, 28% comedy, 29% complex plot, and a $ 21 million budget.
Ed Wood will get your film done waaaaay under budget, and will likely make it into a classic film of all time -- for all the wrong reasons. Let's face it, your life isn't terribly exciting to begin with, and it needs some camping up. His resume includes classics such as Plan Nine From Outer Space and Glen or Glenda? He's not afraid to tackle controversial topics, and may insist on portraying a transvestite in your film -- even if you've never seen a transvestite before. He was immortalized in the Academy Award winning Tim Burton film, Ed Wood -- go see it.
I wear your scorn like a badge of honor

alexbot3000:So, jkcarrier, your LiveJournal reveals...
You are... 6% unique (blame, for example, your interest in starhoppers) and 20% herdlike (partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy writing). When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please. Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is absurdly obscure.
Your overall weirdness is: 57
(The average level of weirdness is: 27.
You are weirder than 93% of other LJers.)
Find out what your weirdness level is!

Go here. Keep refreshing the page until you've collected five quotes that really resonate with you, then post them to your journal.
One act of beneficence, one act of real usefulness, is worth all the abstract sentiment in the world. Sentiment is a disgrace, instead of an ornament, unless it lead us to good actions.
-Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.
-Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821 - 1890)
Censorship, like charity, should begin at home; but, unlike charity, it should end there.
-Clare Booth Luce (1903 - 1987)
After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one.
-Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)
But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
-Carl Sagan (1934 - 1996)

You then take the pic and add your band name and the album title to it, then post your pic.
( I think I had that one on vinyl )
In other imaginary news, my buddy Eric and I were talking about old comics we wish would get reprinted. That inspired me to mock up a cover for a theoretical collection of Michael Golden's Batman & Man-Bat stories from the '70s:
( Patience is a virtue )
I spent way too much time on that logo... it's the old "Batman Family" logo (since that's where most of the stories originally ran), with a Golden-drawn Batman head swapped for the original Infantino(?) one. And I used the '70s DC bullet logo instead of the new one, just because.

Sep. 10th, 2007 12:28 amYour Score: The Second Doctor
You scored 66% intelligence, 11% compassion, 25% sense of humor, and 17% weirdness!
Ah, the comedian! But a *capable* clown. You like to come across as a lovable goof, but in reality you're a genius who succumbs to occasional absent-mindedness. You know when to cut and run, and you know when you deny authority, no matter how laughable you sound. Your turn-ons include Charlie Chaplin, The Beatles, men in kilts, women in catsuits, flutists, and your giddy aunt. Your turn-offs include omnipotent beings who like to interfere with your affairs, the ever-persistent Cybermen (heck, you don't even like cybersex!), and thinking about the lisping dandy you'll eventually become.
