Yeah.. my life is lacking in interesting stuff at the moment. I unlocked Baby Luigi on MarioKart at last; I had a Carmen Sandiego dream last night where I discovered I fail at stealing landmarks, but at least I got a fish. Oh joy.

Anyways, have memes. :D

Respond and I will:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.

In return you must post this in your journal.

~*~

Ask me seven questions. Not just any seven questions though. No, to keep it interesting, use the seven questions as per below - just copy and paste the following, replace the blanks with something you want to know/ask (e.g. 4. Donkeys or sandcastles and why?), anything you want, personal, silly, surreal or deep, comment away and I'll answer honestly as I can! Then post this in your own LJ and see what kind of things people want to ask you!


1. What do you think of _____________ ?

2. When did you last ____________?

3. __________ or ___________ and why?

4. What did you ______________?

5. What's your favorite ______________?

6. How would you ______________?

7. Who would you most like to ________ ?

~*~

And last, but not least:

List 12 of your favorite characters. And the follow the prompts. It makes for lulz.

1) Urahara Kisuke (Bleach)
2) Zaraki Kenpachi (Bleach)
3) Iroh (Avatar)
4) Carmen Sandiego (...guess.)
5) Maes Hughes (FMA)
6) Jin (YYH)
7) Calcifer (Howl's Moving Castle)
8) Marcus Cole (Babylon 5)
9) Julian Bashir (ST:DS9)
10) Beast (X-Men)
11) Hatori (Furuba)
12) Tasha Yar (ST:TNG)

( Okay. Now to see what insanity the prompts are... )

I was going to do the sentence OTP one, but realized I've only got two OTPs, one serious and one silly, and that won't work very well. So... I'll list the fandoms, you guess the favorite character. A couple may have more than one. I'll bold the fandom name when all of the characters are guessed in it. I have a feeling these aren't going to be hard, to tell the truth.

Bonus: If you guess a character right and give me a prompt word, I'll write a drabble for you for all except Big O and Ranma 1/2. It's been too long since I've watched those shows to have any confidence in doing something IC. Also, not Loveless either since I haven't finished watching that anime or reading that manga yet. Whoops.

( So without further ado... )

Comment, and I'll reply with a few sentences on why I value you as a friend. Then, post this on your journal so you can do the same to your friends. (Or not.) TURN UP THE POSITIVITY!

Also. Why are so many Irish slang sites blocked as porn? Dagnabitall. Not like I'm considering apping Jin if the one girl ever finishes her Botan app. No. Not at all. On the topic of YYH, I might like this icon just a little too much. Poor Hiei. (The short one in it. He stands at 4'7"... counting the hair.)

I need to finish my metro Kenpachi app. Can probably wrap it up this afternoon, or tomorrow, depending on how much tweaking I feel it needs, and how blasted long it takes to find songs with my memory of them.

Band practice tonight. I'll get to see score sheets. Could be interesting.

I'm feeling better yay! While my normal isn't 'healthy,' it's what I'm used to, and I can function and cook and clean and stuff. It's nice to see my couch again. Things just pile up there when I'm not feeling well. Purse, groceries, hats...

Now if someone would just app Chuu and/or Kuwabara in Mishima, my RP life would be so near complete.

1) Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2) Make a post and talk about the icons I chose.
3) Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4) This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

These six were picked by Jill la_belle_roo:

( Icons and stories this way! )

Our affiliate has been very, very quiet ever since editor-in-chief yelled policy guy into doing his job. This is good, because it means they're not making bizarre demands every other day. However, this also could be bad, because it suggests there's tension and frustration. The affiliate likes having stuff promoting them and how great they are on their website, and they want new stuff regularly. That they're not asking for it yet... not sure exactly what it means, but I really don't think it's a good sign.

ETA: Spoke too soon. Now I've got a flood of stuff affiliate wants. Botheration...

Anyways, stolen from Janet and Jill and someone else who I'm forgetting: Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people to do the same.
C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it".

1) I'm a bit obsessive and compulsive about how my house looks if I have a guest coming over. It doesn't matter if it's my little brother, everything gets dealt with unless I'm sick... and then I'm stressed the whole time the guest is there.

2) I like kool-aid. Specifically, grape kool-aid. I make it often. And I still like to eat cinnamon toast crunch for breakfast.

3) I hate taking pills. I've taken so many in my life that I'm good at it, can even take them without any liquids, but I really loathe pills.

4) I've never bought myself an alcoholic drink, though I've had a few. Apparently I can't get a date, but I can get a drink.

5) I'm most comfortable wearing shorts and a t-shirt and being barefoot. It's even better if I'm relaxing in the sun with a good book.

6) I like capes. No, I love capes. Anything billowy, even. If it billows while you walk, gosh, it's awesome. It's probably a good thing that I can't run anymore, because I have a Lorien-style cape, and I'd be running down the Riverwalk nearby on Halloweens in it otherwise. And yes. I am nearly a quarter of a century old, thank you very much.

7) I am a word geek. Typing the word 'billow' up there made me very happy. I also like 'expound,' 'typographically,' 'waterbuffalo,' and 'eggplant,' and so many more. Yay words!

I tag: niggsyisabore, teh_elb, oceanica (your name is so much easier to remember now. And so pretty. heehee.), boz4pm, edge_chan, primula_baggins, and enchantedskies.

Sidenote: Don't know if the new antibiotic is working yet. Still not breathing right, still having coughing problems.

So with this LJ Switch program, how do I add a new username? I got accepted as Zaraki Kenpachi to mishima_miasma last night, but the program is only letting me log on as Nadat and my silly Kenpachi RP account.

Yes. Kenpachi. Please to not be asking why my muse keeps deciding to work with him, because I does not have an answer. First Capslock_Bleach, now Mishima.

The last meme of meme week, stolen from niggsyisabore

1. The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post it in your own journal.



(Band name is Joan Warner, album title is End of the Gun.)

Neighbor dude?

You're creeping me out. Your vibe is creepy and off. I know you're trying hard, but you're trying too hard, and it's really, really getting creepy. I'm using creepy too much, but there isn't a better word for it.

Your whole aura is "just got outta mom's basement oh a girl look a girl look she's into anime too ooooh girl girl girl try to be funny." You're doin' it wrong.

And I know that since I live in the same vicinity as a lot of the people who work for my company, and you're one of them, I'll see you at work from time to time. But every morning? And you try the same comments about Neon Genesis Evangelion (NGE) and coffee every morning? You're starting to make me sick of NGE, and that's not very nice.

I don't mind conversation. However, 1) constantly trying to one-up someone and gloating when you succeed because you hit wikipedia for obscure facts last night is not conducive to conversation, 2) Yes, a woman born and raised in Colombia makes our coffee, commenting on it every blasted morning annoys people who are trying hard to fake-laugh, and 3)I KNOW SHINJI IS WHINY. Everyone who has watched NGE knows Shinji is whiny. Saying "____ is as whiny as Shinji. You do know who Shinji is, right?" is ridiculously tiresome.


Today's meme is stolen from teh_elb

1. Put your iTunes/music player on Shuffle
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER WHAT

I can't remember how to spell proportions. So you get 'size' instead.

niggsyisabore and I are starting a 100-prompt challenge: her with icons, me with drabbles.

( The first prompt is Snake Eyes )


____________________________________________________________________________

Also on the topic of drabbles, I hit chapter 100 on my fanfiction.net story and celebrated with a set of 14 - an intro one and one on each of the 13 fukataichous in The Fukataichou's Badge, similar to the set of 16 I did, one on each taichou I did for my 50th chapter, The Captain's Haori.

____________________________________________________________________________

And last but not least, a rather long meme ( stolen from Oceanica )

I was tagged by gundamkiwi

Write:
1. Your name/username.
2. Left-handed or right-handed?
3. Fav letters to write?
4. Least fav letters to write?
5. Write "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
6. Tag 5 people



My camera has... focusing issues. It's got two focuses, macro and regular, and this is how the post-it looked best, oh well. So here's my writing, which a few of you may have seen before (I know Niggsy got the postcard, anyone else?)

Shoot. That says guick instead of quick. Bah. I'm a blonde...

Have a shiny meme, stolen from draiol. :D

Anyway, let's start the new year off right; The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

I'm not about to give up cooking, but a Disney fund and getting back in contact with some old Elves sounds good...

More under the cut, since I don't feel like filling up your poor flists.

( Memes are lazy love )

So there's an anonymous holiday wishes and happy vibes meme, and I've flying-leaped onto the bandwagon here. Come play. :)

In celebration of the fact that I can breathe again, I have nabbed a meme from stickeh

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd   Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

I slept last night. Not sure how it happened, but I'm thinking my roommates may have realized that next time I will not warn before I call the police and the officers could come while the drug stuff is still in plain sight.

Sleep is such a nice thing.

And here, for the fun of it:

( Mindmap )

I've been redirecting my energy after a conversation with galantha/Haleth. It was a good idea. I've gotten some of the rantings done, which are distracting and somehow relaxing. I've got an abstract due tomorrow on a reading, though, and I can't get through the reading. There is nothing drier than some snob-scholar who keeps using big words for big words' sake.

And to jump on the bandwagon:

( interesests collage thingy )

Because it's been a while. And because it's nifty.

Who else is love?

pseudomonas me scripsit anno 2005

And because I just cannot get through this stupid essay on what a novel is...

So, I haven’t done any memes or quizzes in a while. Wheeeeeeee….First two stolen from Nenya, can’t recall where I found the third one.. some friend of a friend of a friend…

Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com</td>

Teehee.






They asked who my LoTR love interest was but didn’t have Elrond as an option. Gits.

Anyways, wishing a lovely May to you all as we count down to the 25th, upon which day we should all enjoy a hard-boiled egg.

Nohari:

Feel free to remain anonymous. It's an interesting concept, and since I jumped on the Johari bandwagon I might as well jump on the Nohari one too. And yes, if all my friends jumped off a bridge, why shouldn't I? :p

Erm. Not sure how to make that a link... but lookie, there it is...
