Laura Seabrook's Ramblings

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

Post a picture in my comments of what you think describes me when you think about what/who I am.
Give no written explanation though. Just an image.

Copy and paste into your own journal and see what others think about you in pictures!

Name 10 things you love that begin with a certain letter. cmcmck gave me M:

( My picks (extended details) under the cut )

Make a comment if you want a letter.

Intelligence

Intelligence is your strongest virtue

Intelligence (also called intellect) is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, and solve problems. And you? Your brain shines. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your intelligence runs deepest.

It is likely you're a smarty-pants. And it's likely (but not necessary) that your discipline score is high also. It takes a certain resolve to maintain all those neural thingies.

Intelligent famous people: Einstein, Shakespeare, Da Vinci.

Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.

YOUR VIRTUES

56% Intelligence

33% Honesty

Open the nearest book to page 123, skip the first 5 sentences, post the next 3.

I told her he was part of an online Mafia; while I fried the fish she tapped at the keys nervously, imagining a different kind of fish nailed to our door. Over time Marsellus began to make me nervous, too. He scolded me for missed appointments, although he skipped his fair share too -- a boss's prerogative.

Heh heh - just found out I'd done this meme before (with of course, different results)!

1. My username is ______ because ______.
   laura_seabrook, because it's my name, duh!
   
2. My name is _____ because ______.
   Laura Anne, it seemed right for me, and my history
   
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
   Hypergraphia: me writing about me, because Hypergraphia was the name of my paper comic, and means "compulsive writing"
   
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
   Friends and Familiars, er, isn't that what they are?
   
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
    because I like to change it regularly.
   before that it was
   and before that, it was, um well lots of things. I always liked using
   but also, of course,  and
   
6. My LJ name (you know how you can change that sort of sub-name thing?) is:
   
   never exactly figured this one out - maybe that's what the Me writing about me is.

Hmmm - now that was short and almost painless.

First up, a meme I got infected by jenndolari's post:

How about a fun, arty meme? Create a self-portrait and show it off on LJ! Draw it with pencils and scan it in, do it in MS Paint, or get jiggy with Photoshop or some other fancy program -- it's up to you! The portraits shouldn't take more than an hour, I know you're all busy people!

Now, I just happened to be working on the front cover of the paper version of Hypergraphia # 7. Hypergraphia #6 was done way back in 2003 but wasn't printed until 2005. I feel I need to do another paper comic to accompany my Masters effort. Anyway, here's the front cover (and also my entry for the meme):

Been frustrated lately a bit, can you tell?
