Rules:
Reply to this meme by yelling 'WORDS!', and I will give you five words that remind me of you.
Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you.
Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of esoteric/oblique.

You'll only get five words if you do include 'WORDS!' in a reply to this post, meaning you can safely comment (should you wish to do so) without having to play.

I got words from both dragonessa24 and nix_101, so here's nine words. Not ten, as they both gave me California to talk about.

( With Pictures! )

~ list 10-20 of your favourite old and new fandoms
~ have your f-list guess your favourite ship from each fandom
~ strike out the fandom when someone guesses correctly and and put the name of the first person to get it right

1. Doctor Who (there are two...okay, three) - Eight/Fitz amare_est_esse , Six/Rani bonamoz

THE "i've always wanted to tell you" MEME

Also, from dragonessa24:


Leave me a comment telling me your all time favourite word, in any language.
I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1. Would you rather live in another time period, and if so which one?
I would like to live in the future. Not sure exactly when because it hasn't happened yet.

2. If a Genie was granting you three wishes, what would they be?
Smart-ass answer: A genie.

Real answer:
1. Unlimited travel without cost for me and anyone I choose to bring with me.
2. Comfortable living for all of my relatives and friends.
3. The ability to travel time.

3. Do you prefer prose or poetry?
Um, well..I guess it depends on how much I like the author.

4. Where would you love to go to for a vacation, but can't?
It might sounds cheesy, but I'd love to go see London. I imagine it's infinitely more interesting than New York City.

5. Uh... What's your favorite animal?
Cats! ...but I'm not a cat lady, I swear.

So, on a whim, I created two LJ accounts:

boston_md and not_afish
Not sure if I actually want to do anything with either of them yet. We'll see.

Now, two writing memes:

Meme the first:
If you could have me write a fic for any prompt/pairing/plot, in any fandom, what would it be?

Meme the second:
That "post excerpts from your writing in progress" meme.

So here goes:
( Excerpts under the cut. )

So, I got these light-up styluses for my DS shaped like lightsabers. And I did what any normal person would do.



I put them in my nose.

Also:
ANON LOVE MEME

I promise a real post later, but in the meantime, ask a question!

⇘ASK MY PUPPET MEME⇖
Ask them a question!

Have a meme:

Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! I will answer them all in a new post.

In other news, my mom bought a dog. A tiny mostly-Chihuahua thing. She mentioned going by to pick out a dog with her boyfriend Joel -for him, and I knew I was in trouble. Then she shows up with this tiny, squeaky thing and expects me to be super pleased about it, when all it really means is that I'm going to have to clean puppy piss up off the floor all the time. Me and the cat are not pleased at all.

She's been named Margaret (Maggie).

☆ THE LOVE MEME ☆

Love meeeee.

*ahem*

Didn't do much this week. Mom's birthday was on Thursday and we went out and saw a movie. We were going to go see Wicked at the theatre, but she didn't listen to me about it being popular so by the time she called the cheaper tickets were sold out. Ah well. We may go see it later. Instead we went to go see (500) Days of Summer, which I think I liked. Possibly. Nonetheless, it was clever and creatively made. I do like though that the girl in the movie was an NT and the guy was NF. You really don't see that often in romance-type movies.

I've also been working on adding that gingham to my girly Six shirt- by hand since the machine is broken! It's sort of a relaxing thing to do, though. It's starting to look cool! I've painted some question marks on the collar and I think that I'll go over them with the thread later.

1.Take a picture of yourself right now.
2.Don’t change your clothes, don’t fix your hair…just take a picture.
3.Post that picture with NO editing.
4.Post these instructions with your picture.



Also I got yellow pants! (and an awesome green pair too)


The pants are a part of my plan for a girly version of Six's outfit in The Two Doctors. Too bad they aren't pinstriped.

I've messed up my sleep schedule again, so I spent most of today asleep after being awake all last night. Also, I was highly productive and got tons done messed around with Windows Movie Maker and clips of Mark of the Rani. Our house guest is gone for now. she's gone to her mother's in Arizona and will probably be back in a month or so...and stay for who knows how long. Oh joy. But I have been relishing having the house more or less to myself again.

Stealing a meme from oldstarnewshine:


1. Pick a number or two between 1 and 2040.
2. I'll find the corresponding track in my iTunes library.
3. Said track will be uploaded for your listening pleasure.
4. There is no four. Do it too! I wanna hear your music.

First, a question: Do you think that a story can be successfully written from the POV of a character's stream of consciousness? I was playing with the idea, but I'm not entirely sure if it works. I don't mean just first-person, I mean actual head-speak if you will. Maybe this would work better with an example? ( Here's a bit of what I've started writing for my fic in which the Sixth Doctor thinks he has a secret admirer: )

_________________________________________________________

And speaking of Six, I've just started RPing him over at brb_gallifrey. It's a fun community, and neat to have a character interacting with real people as well as other characters. Everyone should stop by, especially since I'm running the Six weeks in the Classic Who watch-a-thon! No treats to anyone who guesses which episode I'm picking first - it's too easy.

_________________________________________________________

And a meme:

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...

( My interview... )

HONESTY MEME
And...
Pick a character I've written, either in RP or fanfiction, and I'll tell you five things from my headcanon about them.

___________________________________

I didn't get the job at the casino. Not even a second interview! Ah well. They sent me a very impersonal form letter that hadn't even been signed by anyone. :/ Maybe I'll throw myself around to the local bookstores and see if I can get a job in the basement selling books to fine customers.

For the past couple weeks we've had a woman staying in the house. I've known this woman my entire life. She's the one who, upon my birth, convinced my mother to switch my intended first and middle names - much to my later dismay, and now she's staying with us while she does some work. I'll say briefly: this woman is all the things that annoy me about my mother turned up to eleven. She's extremely extroverted, incredibly tidy, snores like a dying yak, and says things like "libary" without notice. She's also incredibly nice and does the dishes, so I can't complain, but I have tended to stay up later at night or hide away in my room so I can get some time to myself. This has totally whacked out my sleep schedual. I suppose I'm just not used to it yet. ...And I don't know how long she's staying, so I may have to.

In more pleasant news, my new laptop is supposed to show up tomorrow. Yay.

Also, I've been reading through the EDA's with Fitz in (I figure that I should read his canon if I run a comm for the guy!) and would just like to say that Unnatural History is complete and utter crack. I can no longer say I haven't read a book in which someone has been mugged by a unicorn on the streets of San Francisco.

Ah, bastards and crazies! How promising. But do tell me what ya think.

In other news, I finished two of my finals today, and got my research paper back. I got an 89 out of a hundred. One point shy of an A! Maybe she's not capable of giving me an A - I've gotten Bs all semester. :P
