Today I'm feeling schizophrenic—of two minds if you like—a little bit Fontesque Sans, because it is frilly without being frou frou, and a little bit Aspect, because I'm all out changing things up in my life right now!
I'd say I'm Lagarto at the moment: I want to look really pretty, but I can't escape my imperfections. Although Lagarto's imperfections are purposeful, while mine, well, aren't.
Just before I came across this thread, I was reading this post and this post on John Nack's (Photoshop project manager) blog about the personality of their applications. Coincidence, or are people in a metaphorical mood tonight?
Dolly. it’s so sweet.

Cool question pattyfab. Well, that depends on whether it's one of my own typefaces or someone else's. I guess if I was one of mine I would be "Hucklebuck". It sort of captures my personality and plus my mom used to call me that when I was a kid. If I was someone else's font I would be Hoefler Text...solid and dependable yet classy. :)
There might be some who would say I was Avant Garde ;^)~
Mayo for sure.
Everyone would want to hold me.
It's a toss up between letterspaced, fake extended tempus sans and this.
Well done Patty – it was a great question on the other thread (due credit to Matthew), and it's a great question here.
When Muzz says 10 point Futura bold in metal... it reminds me of this

('Art Directors Against Futura Extra Bold Condensed' by Jerry Ketel, from 1992's TDC Typography 13) which I always thought was more than a little unfair to all parties concerned.
Myself, I'd love to be Bliss, but that's probably a long way from the truth!
Well that's the question, do you go with the clever name or the font that actually expresses who you are (or think you are)? Points up the importance of naming your font.
I'm feeling kind of Grotesk after sitting at my computer all day but may feel more Bliss-ful if I do the Salsa at a Danceparty (after taking Xcstasy). Or maybe if I indulge my inner Coquette and put on some BlueEyeShadow, I'll have a Fling - on the Boxspring. Of course I hope it's not with an Awkward Asswipe who is having an extended Adolescence, or a Degenerate with Ebola. Or a Phreak. Then I'll turn into Creepygirl and go into Hystrix. That would be a TimeinHell.
Or if I'm feeling Artistik I can go to my studio.
I am too busy to provide links for all these fonts, sorry...
Since I signed the landlord's contract of the new PBM I feel very

Very funny Dan. Perhaps somewhere in an alternate universe there’s a happening Renaissance French geezer who thinks he could be a typeface named ‘old Dan’…
That would would be totally awesome. But I must say, out of all of the different "eroded" types like Founder's Caslon and the Fell types and others, Old Claude is easily my favorite. It still feels like a Garamond. But I seriously wish that Paul Shaw would design a matching Italic. As it is, I used MVB Celestia Antiqua's italic, since it's a fairly decent match.
