In theory, it's all about the fiber – knitting, crocheting, sewing, and spinning – but really, it's all about my life.

Shamelessly Stolen from PennyKarma

Because I totally want to be her when I grow up. :D

Your Score: Sofia Coppola

Your film will be 57% romantic, 25% comedy, 24% complex plot, and a $ 38 million budget.

With few films under her belt (The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation, Marie Antoinette) as a writer/director, she’s already highly respected and connected — her dad, Francis, directed all The Godfather movies and Apocolypse Now. Sofia’s good at making the romantic drama that is your life with poignant sullen moments of introspection. You saw how she stylishly handled Marie Antoinette’s life, no? And who didn’t have at least a lump in the throat at the end of Lost In Translation? She’s already won one Academy Award for her writing, now she’ll be the first woman to receive one for directing — YOUR FILM!

Your Score: Tom Petty

86 Humble, 10 Excessive, and 53 Worldly

Your score lands you somewhere in the neighborhood of Tom Petty. Still breaking hearts after all these years, Petty may not be as prominent as he was in the 80′s – but he remains one of the true rock ‘n’ roll gods.

It’s tough to peg Petty on the humility scale. As one of the last true rockers alive, he embodies the stomp and swagger that people usually associate with a rock and roll frontman – and he certainly knows his place in the pantheon. Even so, Petty avoids the self-aggrandizement that plagues other aging rock icons and instead prefers to speak from the sidelines as a still, small voice of reason. He approaches himself and his music with a self-deprecating sense of humor, and appears open and easy to talk to. He may be an icon, but he’s one that most people wouldn’t mind sharing a beer with. Your high humility scale suggests that you, like Petty, won’t let your godhood go to your head.

As with his swagger, the vast majority of Petty’s excess comes on stage – and even then it’s almost entirely an excess of rock. He is a musician’s musician, a songwriter’s songwriter. You don’t picture Petty on silk sheets surrounded by hundreds of groupies (although that might be true, for all I know) – nor do you imagine him riding in the back of a Hummer limo. He is a simple man. Your low excess score suggests that you, too, retain a down-to-earth style even though you could afford to purchase half of the boutique stores in Los Angeles.

If there’s anything that Petty’s lyrics overall encourage you to do, it’s to think. He’s not immune to having pure rocker moments in his music, but he has a lot of subjects he’s very passionate about and that he’s willing to approach through his art. Your high worldliness score suggests that you, like Petty, want your audiences not only to rock, but also to rock the vote. And their school board. And their town hall. And anything else where they can provoke positive change in the world.

Your Score: The Do-Gooder

You scored 6 idealist points, 8 detective points, -1 kick-in-the-door points, and 1 help points!

You are a good person at heart. You try to do your best to help the world out against evil, although you aren’t always appreciated for it. Although you try to do good, sometimes personal goals, or life, gets in the way of superheroism.

Examples: Spiderman, The Flash

And yes, I really am going to post about the trip. I’m currently digging myself out from under a mountain of laundry. Hopefully, this weekend I can sit down and go through the video clips. I’ve even got a couple of FO’s to post about!

    Love me some Tom Petty — it’s hard not to when you live in Gainesville. My dad’s senior yearbook has Petty in it as a freshman. He looks pretty much the same at 13 as at 53. ;-)

    “With a Southern Accent, where I come from…”

    Dude, don’t be me when you grow up. Don’t grow up at all! You’ll be severely disappointed.

    Love you right back. MWAH!!
