Byron..

You are George Gordon, Lord Byron! The prototypical bad boy, you'll sleep with anything that can give consent and maybe even a few things that can't or won't. Your ethics could use some work (nine year old girls?), but outside of the sex question, you're a grand partier and the bipolar, shady hero of your own story. The wittiest of the Romantics, you're mad, bad and dangerous to know. Scandalous!


(And secretly ok with it..hehe)

Spike Milligan!

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky;
I left my shoes and socks there - I wonder if they're dry?

I'm afraid I'm stuck being me.

I got William Blake, which I consider to be a compliment. William Blake is ever so cool.

Hmm. I got Percy Bysshe Shelley:
Famous for your dreamy abstraction and your quirky verse, you're the model "sensitive poet."
I'm surprised, since I chose the following flaw:
Even though I try to be nice, I can be kind of insensitive.
