HASH(0x8e3bb40)
You are Lisa (from Weird Science)! Sexy and magical, you either charm the pants off everyone, or make them crap their pants in fear. Either way, you rule.

Which John Hughes Character Are You?

This blog, where I got the quiz above, may very well be the cutest blog layout ever.

  2. Lauren, note what the blurb for Ferris Buehler says at the end: “God only knows what would happen if you crossed paths with Lisa from Weird Science.”

    Sparks should fly, Babe. We get along fine. 😉

  3. I too am also Ferris Buehler. Trish, I hope that we can share the Buehler!
    Oy, how much Buehler is there?
    Lauren , I presume your hand is better. And as far as all your questions, they will all soon be answered, at least the ones you have about this “Joe Mattingly ” guy I am sometimes mistaken for.

    Joe Mattingly Responds: Yo, Heretik, you are such a dork!

  6. Thank you, most gracious Trishstress.

    I do have a test today, that wasn’t bullsh**. It’s on European Socialism. I mean, really, what’s the point? I’m not European. I don’t plan on being European. So, who gives a crap if they’re Socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still wouldn’t change the fact that I don’t own a car.

  7. So, I don’t know any of those characters, but I took the test and it says I “am” Uncle Buck:

    Your relationships aren’t the greatest (mostly by your own accord), but if anyone has a huge heart, it’s you.

    My cardiologist’ll be thrilled.

  8. Jimmy Ho? Is that your real name? My real name is actually Joey Ho. I come from a long line of Hos. We might be related.
    You can trust me on this. Unlike that Heretik dork who says he is somtimes mistaken for me, I will never misrepresent myself, at least not any less i t pays very well.

    Stop by for a visit and some family fun! My mother makes a killer dish of Chow Mein Fuhrer!

    And there was a topic here somewhere: “I don’t even have a piece of shit; I have to envy yours.”

  10. I’m with Trish and Heretik on this one: Ferris Bueller. I’ll take it! Though it seems to me that Ferris has much more of a carefree, devil-may-care attitude than I do. I mean, I described myself as “serious.” Hmm. Anyhoo, Lauren, I’m sure we’ll get along fine. =)

    I quote John Lennon, “I don’t believe in The Beatles, I just believe in me.” Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus and I’d still have to bum rides off of people.
