Interludium

Once upon a time when Debi, Bhex and I were out the conversation somehow jumped to LJ memes and being tagged for memes and my never doing them.  So I said I'd do the next meme I was ever tagged for. Even if Bhex is cheating with AN OBVIOUSLY ILLEGAL TAG.

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 respond via comments. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on fannish stuff, favorite type of underwear, the less touched-upon aspects of my life, etc. And then, repost this on your journal so that I can start asking too. XD

Boredom begets memes. Otherwise known as Arc's perfectly good excuse to not work on her 1859 fic.  Ganked from gekidasa.

First, write down the names of 12 characters (it's best when they're all from the same fandom). Then read and answer the questions.You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.

1 Gokudera
2 Tsuna
3 Reborn
4 Yamamoto
5. Colonello
6. Hibari
7. Mukuro
8. Byakuran
9. Lal
10. Ryohei
11. Irie
12. Lambo


( ... )

I belatedly realized I had not written any of the Varia members down, which makes me sad. But I made the list by putting in the first names that came to mind. D:

Haha. I could not resist doing this.

( Rules behind the cut because it gets in the way of my pimping. )

Christmas wishlist
1-5. READ REBORN.
6-9. READ EYESHIELD 21.
10. Anything Hibari/Gokudera is also gooood. Even if you're only at volume 3 whut. (BHEX I AM LOOKING AT YOU.)

Seriously.

My RL friends who do not do this meme automatically get a copy of the Reborn manga with the words READ REBORN AS IF I WERE TO DIE printed on the cover. And probably even if you do the meme anyway.

Otherwise known as the meme cugami forced me to post on my LJ. So here you go.

FIRST IMPRESSION MEME
Post this in an entry and have your friends tell you how they met you(community, other friend, etc.) and what was their first impression of you (interesting, intimidated, etc.). Screen the comments, and then tag ten people to do this meme. Being honest is a must!!!

I am actually interested to know what people have to say, so answer away! I used to know everyone on my flist well enough to do [this] two years ago. Sadly, I don't think I can do something like that again. Mostly due to my inactivity in LJ, and the fact that my flist has doubled since then.

Just as an FYI, this is also one of the worst possible memes you could possibly ask me to reply to (as Mich has found out), because my memory is spectacularly great at failing.

Tagging: Everyone who wants to post it.

You know that LJ dungeon thing that's been going around? Guess who actually went and played it. And mapped the entire area (yey for map scroll!), so by the time she finished the dungeon, there wasn't a single item or mob left (alive) in the dungeon. *has no life*

Final score: 2810
Gold: 2010 ♥

( What I just wasted a few hours on. )

So predictable. Of course I was going to do this. I've also resigned myself to not getting my PS2 back until around mid-January.

Video game meme: List all the games you own. Bold all the ones you've completed, italicize all the ones you've started but never finished, and underline all the ones you haven't gotten around to trying yet.

Adding: Strikethrough what you've tried and never have plans of finishing.

( i don't know why i have a bunch of crappy games )

Useful to have on your blog or your website, to help keep your (and your friends') e-mail spam free.
I just liked the nifty banner.

And because I so rarely do memes and I am bored! Gackted from just about everyone. But I saw it first on gekidasa. ;D I would seriously guess on people's memes, but most of them have been bold and italicized already. =/

a. Post a list of your favourite TV shows and/or anime/manga series on your blog. (15 is too little!)
b. Have your friends list guess which is your favourite character and ship from each series.
c. When the favorite character is guessed, bold the line and write a sentence about why you like that character. When the favorite couple is guessed, italicize the line and explain why you love that ship.

Bonus for those who can guess pairings I don't like for each series with an asterisk (*) beside it. ;D

I tend to have more than one OTP. So have at it. Also.. I can have het OTPs!

( definitely more than 15 )

refracting created, cirnelle demanded and mithas was bored. So here's the reply to the Cities of M'dhoria meme that Tor made. (Yes, that's the MUD game that made me disappear oh... about two months ago.)

( Thasis )

( Elandya )

Three questions:
I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then go to your journal, copy and paste this, allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything. (The former latter is always optional, but you know you want us to be nosy.)

Yey. Am bored. So ask away, or I'll take offense that you guys don't want to know anything about me and smite you all! >P Give me reason to procrastinate!

( RL stuff. 3 days to print, wtf?! )

I took these screencaps before so I could show Oshodani and Komoro to a couple of friends who I kept talking to about them. Oshodani in particular, because I love him and he's my favorite character in Papuwa. ;P So I thought I'd sic them on the rest of my flist. I'd have taken more screencaps, but my Papuwa cds are currently with caillen

These caps were taken during the Manly Volleyball Tournament (or whatever they called it) episode. I didn't resize, because Papuwa must be appreciated in all its glory.

( swing swing! )

And, I finally tried the Drabble-Matic with my crack OTP. :P How fitting that it would choose Shakespeare for Mizuki. But alas, I don't think he'd very happy about the sea otter bit.

( what light through yonder window breaks )

My bandwidth's up to 62gb. All the media files have been taken down from the server. Will not be sharing anything for the rest of the month. (Except for individual files I can share on the other server... once I get a new domain up.) Normally, I should have been able to keep these many files up without trouble, but the Band of Prince PV raped my bandwidth off of 30gb total.

If anyone failed to get anything they wanted, just tell me and I'll bring them back up on April.

And now the answers to that [guess what series in one line game] I posted last week. Much delayed, because I've been lazy.

( Don't cheat if you're still planning to answer. )

[Desktop screenshot]. Meme taken from dilettantka. I suppose I'm the only person in the world who can take this meme and end up pimping the programs she uses. ^_^

( Where my inner!pimp proves it's a dork. )

And now the guess what series in one line game I ganked from aerie and soubiless, who both got it from worldserpent. These are much more fun to answer than it is to make. So I'm hoping more people do this, and although it might be too much to ask, if you do post the game on your LJ and I don't have you friended, please leave a comment to tell me it exists? Because I take great pleasure in very simple things, and this happens to be one of them, even if I end up getting all of them wrong. XD

The original was just 10, but Joy did 20, so I'm going to do 20. >3

( Only 4 of these are games )

(yes, I was backlogged again. 7 days' worth in fact.)

♠ I am putting this link on top because [I ADORE BUCKY].

♠ lyntek you bitch. You'd better be able to rec me some good Kurama/Yusuke fics or YOU ARE SO DEAD. I'm not about to go wading through a fandom I haven't been in for god knows how many years when I'm pretty sure it's still littered silly with Kurama/Hiei fics I do.not.want.to.see. =/ And besides, this is all your fault. I'd also settle for some Yuusuke/Hiei.

First RK, now I'm regressing back to YYH. What is this? The month for revisiting very old fandoms? >.>

♠ *sparkles* Someone make me a Karasu icon. Or a Yomi one. I do not like Karasu with blond hair, kthnx. XD

♠ Call me stupid, but it never even occured to me that people would actually like the [Keiki/Youko pair]. I've never really thought of pairings in JK, although I'd admittedly love to see some Shouryou/Enki if only Enki wasn't stuck in a 14 year old form. ;_; And of course Youko/Rakushun, because their love is so true. <3

♠ Someone convince me I'm not buying the Tenipuri Extra Remix Fan Disc just because it has 4 full seconds of sparkly Gakuto in it. *bangs head on the wall*

♠ I figure if I wrote a different Tenipuri crack pairing fic for every time someone on LJ blames me for something, anything, I'd have covered all possible TeniPuri pairings by now. So for the record... *raspberries all of you* Pimpage is fun.

♠ [The Parody of the Christ.] Link gacked from thistle_chaser. Amusing as heck.

♠ The only FMA fics I enjoy are gen fics. I enjoy FMA yaoi fanart, but yaoi fics are such a hurdle to get through in this fandom. Not because they're bad, but because I don't really see the slash in this series (even if I hunt down FMA yaoi art sites by the dozen. :P). I think the only slash fics I'd pounce on are ones that involve Envy, because we all know Envy is a manipulative pervert.

♠ I am behind in every single anime series I'm following. Except maybe PoT and Naruto. Naruto if only because I follow the manga (w/c I'm 4 chapters behind in). This means I can't read half of the entries posted on said series' when they involve episodes/chapters I haven't seen/read. I am wondering why it's still taking forever to get through this backlog. I've been at it for the past 4 days (and of course it just keeps adding each day).

♠ Proving that I'm not the only nutcase in the world. kitsune_jade does a [Prince of Tennis meets Hikaru no Go family tree].

♠ Why is Ace/Sanji/Zoro (or any variations of this pairing) so popular? I want my Zoro/Luffy!

♠ If someone can rec me some good Neji/Naruto fic I will love you!

♠ I don't like Takigawa Eiji, but for those on my friends list who do, you might want to [check these pictures out]. This includes 1oF people who know nothing about TeniPuri but who squeed over TakiEiji (the Tezuka actor, you guys) in the musical.

♠ *waves to kitsune_jade* Oi oi! You remember your crack pairing which you thought you'd never get to see? [White, Yukimura+Tezuka] Haven't read it yet, but it's a fic. Now why couldn't I have the same luck with my crack pairs. =/

♠ My constant backlog is probably a sign that I should cut down on my friends list... considerably. Which means you should all start posting boring shit so I can take you off my friends list, because there's really nobody I'd want to take off at the moment.

( meme )

THERE ARE REASONS WHY BUCKY OWNZ ME. That being a prime example of it. XD XD And if you don't get some of the jokes, someone explains it down in the comments. I love how Satchel is so annoyed. Satchel is never annoyed. *snuggles teh Bucky* I mean, he's just tailing after Satchel and deliberately gauding him. I LOVE THIS CAT. ♥~

That said the 100 Questions for the Seiyuu Fan ganked from soubiless.

Let's see. *starts pointing fingers* I want to see luminata, fushigitenshi, aerie and nagibook do this one. ;P Because I know you're seiyuu whores, but you hardly talk about it. *killed*

( Look at what took up my evening. )

♠ I have new OTP icon courtesy of daeas! *loves* The keyword for the icon reads (oshigaku) momogaku OTP! You figure it out. ;P

♠ To fellow IRC users. This might prove useful to some of you. [IRC migration list] for the channels that were in mircx before the server went down. It's not complete and I'm not sure if it gets updated whenever temp channels move out to a permanent server. If a channel you're looking for isn't on the list or isn't where it's said to be, checking out the group's site would be best. The list also has links to other sites containing info on other channels.

Geh. Scattered again, I hate being connected to a slew of servers in IRC. Clutters it up.

♠ I only got to see the scans that dilettantka had up of 213 now. Was rather surprised to see more shots of Renji with his eyes open. *fangirls* And it's been awhile since I've done this... *molests Atobe* That shot of him was just too damned sexy darnit. *glares at the Diva*

♠ And because memes are attractive when your flist is killing you. From muzivitch.

( So who actually wants to know where my online handle came from? )

♠ I am done with my backlog. (After a lot of reading and a LOT of distractions.) Kthnx. I hate all of you. *slumps on keyboard*

gacked from kirakins but posting my co-evil overlady's slightly edited version of it and edited even further.

Where and when did you first hear my name/see my work/meet me? What was your first impression of me? How has that impression changed? With what people/series/groups etc. do you associate me and my writing? Will you be our minion? >3

And now, go post this on your LJ too, because I am bored (in between deadlines - rd: I have one now, but I'm slacking) and I want to wrack my brain trying to remember how I came across all of you. ^_^

Edit: Because I see the Rikkai banner is now up.

( Love is banners )

Well I did say I'd be posting the answers to the friend quizzes I put up. I had three quizzes in all. The original character quiz was done later, and no longer announced, as only a few ppl could actually take it. ^^v

( Original character quiz results. )

( My anime history quiz results )

( My TeniPuri fangirl quiz results )

Guess who was bored? nieshka kept on making quizzes and making me take them, and then I caved in and made a quiz of my own. If you're feeling up to it, then you can take the 'How well do you know my anime history?' quiz, but aside from nieshka, eksdj and daeas (and i swear if you guys flunk that test I will skewer you guys alive!), I doubt people even know half of the answers to them. Tor failed it miserably. I hate her.

But for majority of my flist, you can go see how much of my infernal TeniPuri rambling you actually get to read with the [How well do you know my inner PoT fangirl] quiz . XP (It's under the first quiz, you'll have to scroll down the page.) You know you want to. And you know you want to make a quiz of your own. (If I got dragged into making one of these, I'm going to drag other people into making them!)

Get all ten questions right and you get to request a fic/icon/banner from me? ^_~ For the people as paranoid as I am about entering their e-mail address in sites like these, when it asks you for it at the end of the quiz, you don't have to. I'll probably post the answers to the quiz at a later date. As it will give me a shameless reason to talk more about PoT and my obsessions. XD


PS. Do you see the song playing? chibicharm this is all YOUR FAULT. @#%$@ AMV!!! >.>

Eh? LJ ate my post about the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children DVD. And that's weird cause I could've sworn I already saw it posted. Ah well, doesn't matter.

Friends coming over later today, and we're off on a TeniPuri marathon, while playing The TeniPuri Drinking Game. Since I didn't find any online though, we'll have to make our own first. *g*

And because everyone's been taking it. My number's are pitifully low. The last time there was an LJ Obsession quiz I got really low on it as well. I was thinking I'd have gotten a bit more LJ obsessive since then.

( Livejournal Obsession Test )

( bishounen stats )

*dies* Well, my sexual orientation is definitely correct. And look, my quirk means caillen can be my seme without a problem. Dude, I spell definitely correctly.
