[Nov. 21st, 2009|11:07 pm] |
THIS HERE IS A SPECIAL MEME. Ripped from ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) longsufferingly. YOU SHOULD DO IT it's deeply enjoyable in a wtf sort of way.
1. Write down the names of 10 characters.
2. Write a fic of fifteen words or less for every prompt, using the characters determined by the numbers. Do NOT read the prompts before you do step 1.

Takatori Mamoru
Schuldig
Vegeta

Wow, there's some serious ablism in The Postman Always Rings Twice. Suits the characters, though.
ANYWAY have a meme.
Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile."
• I'll respond by asking you four questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions
From micaturtle:
1. Raphael the Manwhore? What does THAT mean? ... *blinka*
2. If you could date ANY fictional character, who would it be and why?
3. Last I heard, you had reproduced! How is your child(s)? (Or am I completely batshit in my memory/recall)
4. Are you planning on coming to Comic Con in 2010? Also, do you ever attend any other conventions?
( The answers )
This movie is pretty damn good. Lana Turner was pretty hot back in the day. |

I have posts to write. So instead, I meme.
From toxictattoo and threewalls:
Comment with a character of mine, i.e. one that I have written about or have an interest in.
Receive three bits of trivia about their sexuality: practices, preferences, experiences, fantasies, kinks, etc. (Which may or may not agree with each other.)
???
Profit! or at least entertainment. |

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
Yeah, yeah. And a new one from meganbmoore!
List 10 (or however many) platonic male/female relationships in fiction that you enjoy. My attempt at rules:
1. They interact in canon, preferably in a significant (apply your own interpretation of such) way.
2. They are not related. They can, however, view each other as surrogate family.
3. Neither has confessed or implied romantic love for the other in canon.
4. They have not dated, been married, had sex, or made out in canon, on purpose, and over their own free will.
5. A popular fanon ship is ok (though preferably not your ship) but a canon pairing you wish were just friends is out.
6. Try to avoid using the same character or series twice.
7. They don’t have to be friends.
I am also trying to avoid 'will they/won't they' ships.
These are not in any particular order, aside from #1.
1. Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin, Modesty Blaise books and comics. NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLET. The saddest story in the world is that there's actually a Modesty movie out there with Terrence Stamp-- Terrence Stamp, people! as Willie...and it sucks. THERE IS NO JUSTICE.
( The rest of the list )
Edited because HTML can suck it. |

It's blogging against disablism day! And I got nothing. But check out the awesome things other people have to say!
On other, unrelated notes, Enver Gjokaj is Joss' latest discovery, I think. My issues with Dollhouse continue to mount, but he does find some damn good actors. I want a show where he, Dichen Lachman and J. August Richards fight crime. With Tahmoh Penikett as their buttoned-down but softhearted boss. And Reed Diamond could be their FBI liason who has unresolved sexual tension with Tamoh Penikett OH GOD THIS IS HOW PEOPLE START WRITING RPS ISN'T IT.
I am friending people back on Dreamwidth, but pretty much randomly choosing whether or not to add you to the reading llist, so don't take it personally. And there's still one space left on the request-a-drabble meme! Posting without a Dreamwidth is simple and easy, I swear!
And a meme about characters! chomiji gave me Kougaiji.

From keelieinblack via telophase:
...why hasn't someone turned this into a meme, come to think of it? 'Choose your favorite historical personage who should have their life/death/exploits adapted into a manga'--with bonus points for picking the mangaka, or adding extra off-the-wall details (mecha, dragons, zombie dogs), or putting it in a Recycled In Space! setting.
Walt Whitman, Lord Byron, and Oscar Wilde, pulled from the afterlife by an Unknown Force, team up together to fight supernatural crime. Because it's drawn by Higuri You, everyone is fabulously gorgeous.
...I have actually thought of this as a concept before. |

| Gundam Wing, anti-racism, interesting stuff to read. And a meme! |
[Mar. 8th, 2009|08:15 pm] |
Okay, Duo physically protecting Hilde's Gundam with his own was pretty damn cute.
And I love Duo's reaction to fighting Trowa and Heero's dolls. Hee! "Next time, try programming in my data!"
One more disc left to go! Whee!

telesilla wants to organize a fandom fundraiser to raise more money for ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) verb_noire. Details here, please take a look.
And if you want to donate directly, the link is here. The inital goal's already been passed!
Oh, and one last meta post, but a really good one, especially for white folk.
Okay, Two, actually. This one about how real people are getting really hurt. I have been guilty of 'oh, it's so much fun to learn,' so I feel obligated to link.

triestine, this book sounds right up your alley. Do you read French? I don't remember.

And last but not least, a meme!
Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given. Also, make sure you specify in your comment that you want subjects for the meme.
( I did this three times because I like to talk ) |

| I was interviewed, and you can be too! |
[Feb. 7th, 2009|09:40 am] |
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...

From daegaer and viridian5:
Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you something I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing it that didn't make it onto the page.
Yes, I do love this icon. Shush. |

| Microfic meme! |
[Jan. 16th, 2009|07:42 pm] |
Stolen from b_hallward, who is more awesome than me and managed 10 microfics with one pairing alone. Go read them, but read mine first so I don't suffer too much by comparison.
Write 10 different categories of fic, each in 10 words or less.
( Here they are; Weiss Kreuz Gluhen ) |

| Stolen from everyone! |

Directions: Mark which things you have done, then calculate your score by counting the number of questions you marked. This test is out of 100 questions which means that the number you get as your score is also your percentage. Tag all of your friends, and repost as "I do stupid things __% of the time."
( Let's see how much of a dumbass I am! )
I do stupid things 68.5% of the time. Thank heavens I don't blow-dry my hair. |

[Nov. 18th, 2008|08:50 pm] |
Mark Begich won, wheeeee! Thanks for not sucking as much as I thought you did, Alaska.
And here's my holiday gift to y'all. Meme yanked from ryuutchi:
I have lots of music! Give me a theme-- it can be anything from "Songs to Listen to While Making Dinner" to a favorite character or pairing. Just leave a comment and I will make you a short mix, complete with cover art.
I give no promises on timeline. <3 |

| Everybody loves icons, right? |
[Nov. 9th, 2008|06:17 pm] |
From chomiji:
- Reply to this post with the word MEME and I will pick six of your icons.
- Make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
- Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
- This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.
( Thanks for STILL not giving us an a la carte option for icons, LJ )
Remember to ask if you want me to pick some of yours! |

| I'm still boggled anyone can believe otherwise. |

Copy this sentence into your LiveJournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow. |
|
|
| If I hadn't found this meme, I was going to invent it. |
[Oct. 15th, 2008|08:49 pm] |
From brigidsblest:
Post 10 things that are going right in your life right now, it doesn't matter how small. You're happy with your cup of coffee. You saw a flock of geese flying over. ANYTHING. Things that make you happy. Things that make you smile. No pressure.
It's small and it's simplistic, but maybe for the time you are compiling your list, you'll forget about the bad going on and focus on something good.
