LOL.


My plan to avoid contagion is to stay away from Mexico.

Here's a thing I stole from yksi87 :

Take a look at your LJ friends list, then list up to five things you want to say to five different LJ friends. DO NOT state who these people are. DO NOT confirm or deny any “comment speculation.”.

1. I don't mind your crazy. I think it makes you much more interesting than any of those boring sisters I could have had, and I quite like having someone to worry about.

2. It ought to be weird that we're living together next year, but I feel comfortable with it. I guess it just goes to show that we're not shallow people.

3. You're a big enough part of my Exeter university life that you'll leave a hole when you graduate. I'll have to find several people to fill the space, because I don't think I could replace you with a new best friend.

4. What the fuck do you think you're doing? Stop being American. Come live in my country again, so that we can have adventures.

5. Seeing you and a certain other person together makes me smile. Thank you for existing to be her soulmate. Also, I think you're a strong and amazing person, but you already knew that.

So. My creative writing task this week is to find some ballads and do a presentation on them, and I went for Somerset ballads (well, folk songs really.) The best title I found was "Hey for Zommerzet-Shire (Lively delineating how jocund they be, that Jerk it, and Ferk it, under the green-wood tree.)"

Also, otilu  had this idea:

Give one of my characters a topic. Any topic. They will then proceed to write a short piece on it. It can be an object, a philosophical concept, a person... anything goes.

I asked her for Yoda's views on l33tspeak, LOLspeak and the like, so you should be extra mean to me. Here's a list of characters:

(Fake) leather sofas plus lots of... I believe this stuff is known colloquially as "sunshine"... makes for lovely heated sofa cushions.

Which has nothing to do with this:

Footnote: The blackout's over :)

Nicked from benji - I want imaginative replies, people.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad -- BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.

Since I wrote that Doctor Who fanfiction for one of the Writers Block thingies, I thought I could post non-pornographic fanfiction in this journal as well as my other one. I won't make a tag for it, but I'll archive it in my Memories (which I think I changed to Shinies when I fucked with the journal design.)

This is a meme I found in skellerbvvt's journal.

The rules: 10 categories of fanfic in 10 words or less.
The fandom: Firefly. I haven't written proper Firefly fanfiction before and this is a good way to get into the swing of things.

( I can has meme? )

Just read the 'offence' and if you've done it, you owe that fine.

You don't have to confess your answers, just the amount of your fine.

Note: fines to be added once, not for how ever many times you have done it.

( Here be the offences )

Thorntons has my CV and I have to hand in an application to Costa Coffee - hope I get the job in Thorntons.
My room is so cold that I had to buy an electric blanket instead of freezing during the night.
Last night I went to a foam party and it was awesome.
Tomorrow I'm getting another tattoo, so I'll take a picture with my webcam and put it somewhere for you to gaze upon.

Now on to The List. This has been promised to my Nailsea friends since the day before I moved back to Exeter. The idea is that this is a sexual checklist, and once completed you've pretty much done everything there is to do. Notice that it's pretty much in order from tame to hardcore, and "had children" is just above "necrophilia."
Put things you've done in bold and itallicise things that you'd never do. Feel free to tell a tale, but try not to inflict TMI on your poor readers. If you can think of something that should have been put on the list, I'll add it. If you don't know what something is, Wikipedia it.

( The List )


All I'm gonna say by way of elaboration is HAT TRICK ON THE THREESOMES! HIGH FIVE!

Now I want everyone to fill out the checklist. Yes, that means you. And please give me credit for it, you ungrateful wretches.

Updated: Sun 14th Dec (for sex toys, bondage and... go check the list and you'll find the other thing)

So I finally downloaded Stumble. It's a really useful application that shows you a random web page based on your interests. Here are the coolest things I've found so far:

This tells you how old you are on other planets.

Mouse Party - getting a closer look at the brains of drugged up lab mice.

Oh lookit, cute little animals ignoring their natural instincts in favour of friendship.

Build your own Kaleidoscope (this could keep you entertained for hours.)

Watch this then check out the guy's site.

Virus game.

And now for something completely different.

Firstly: Go and read Poetry by E.E Cummings

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like,, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big Love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you quite so new

Secondly: Stolen from coloursofdusk  - fill it out in a comment.

Hello there. I'll make the game review brief.

Super Smash Bros Brawl: allowing me to give people Special Bowser Hugs. I hate Pikachu for constantly leaping out of the arena but love chibi-Link for his sword-waving cuteness. He's not very effective, but the thwap! and the determined look on his face make me happy. Also, you can make him black with red eyes and he looks like a Heartless.

Much love for the Spear Pillar stage.

Done. Here's a meme I invented after a conversation with Anna:
(I used my panic icon especially for this)

Top 10 ways to die

Eaten by drawing of a dinosaur that came to life

In your sleep when inexplicably naked

Tail-wagged to death by enthusiastic puppy

Fallen on by famous monument

Murdered by long-lost evil twin who then proceeds to steal your identity

Killed by comic book villain who mistakes you for Superhero

Death by chocolate

Kicked out of airlock by drunken aliens

Smothered by breasts of naked Amazon

Mauled by sentient tree while rescuing kitten

...

Your turn.

Hell yeah:


21

Edit: I've got a Meme for you. Shuffle all songs on your music player (I used Party Shuffle on iTunes), pick the first 10 that come up and add "in my pants" to the name. Like so:

1 - Die, die my darling in my pants
2 - Poison girl in my pants
3 - Mama in my pants (that would, of course, be your mother)
4 - Lips like morphine in my pants
5 - Lose you tonight in my pants
6 - Wake up in my pants
7 - Macy's Day parade in my pants (... and everyone's invited? O_o)
8 - Breakout in my pants
9 - Taste in men in my pants
10 - Beautiful tragedy in my pants.

That was hilarious. Now you do it. In my pants.

I was tagged by Decaff. I now tag rocksolidhair, otilu, treborread and anyone else in possession of OCs.

OC (original character) Interview:

1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

OC's: (role play/story characters I've used in the past and present)

Lika
Cat
Zodiac
Feebo

The meme is "Post 10 things that recently made you happy" but I'm changing it to focus specifically on "10 reasons why I love living here." Note: there is one word that I've censored in this post. I'm not afraid of saying it, and I do say it frequently in Tom's general direction, but I know it can offend people and also my sister might read this.

1. Rob had been away for the weekend. When he came into the kitchen, I'd been drinking a bit, so I launched myself at him and almost killed both of us in the process. This morning, he got a biro and labelled the bruise on my arm "Rob's Bruise"

2. Fiona gave an entire bottle of wine to me and Simon because they weren't going to drink it. I looked at Simon and said "we have two choices: either you go and fetch a couple of glasses or we're drinking from the bottle."
His reply: "It seems to me that we only have one choice."
Me (already drinking from the bottle): "I think you're right"
We drank the entire bottle in about 2 minutes. It took me several hours without drinking anything else to sober up.

3. I walked into the kitchen last night to find Simon with a long pink straw tied around his head and a very extravagant moustache drawn on his face.

4. Last night, me Fiona and Anna went out in our pyjamas to buy fruit for the chocolate fountain. Fiona had the letters "PF" (Paul's initials) written on her face in chocolate.

5. I didn't get to sleep until 4 in the morning because Simon tried to take away peoples' souls and then (after a long discussion about what a soul actually is) he decided to let humans keep their souls, but gave all other animals souls as well. This caused an uprising that led to the extermination of every human on the planet. We were talking complete nonsense for at least 2 hours while Fiona was sprawled on her front across two mattresses, fast asleep.

6. This morning, I came back from lectures to find Simon sitting in my room on his mattress with his laptop on his lap. After some matchmaking via MSN (see number 7), I grabbed my duvet and fell asleep on top of him.

7. I later ventured into the kitchen in search of nourishment. A Blink 182 song was playing on the TV and I started singing along.
Tom: "See, Lesbian knows her Blink 182"
Me: "Of course I do."
Tom: "Why is Tom DeLonge such a C***?"
Me: "Must be his name."
(Tom then proceeded to smush bubbles from the washing up all over my face)
Tom: "Hey Lesbian, was Simon in your room earlier?"
Me: "Yes, it was me who wrote that stuff on MSN."
Tom: "I thought so. Simon's never said 'buttsex' in his life."
Me: "It's about time he started then."

8. Loren came into the kitchen (as you can tell, it's where we do all of our socialising) wearing a black dress and asked me: "do my boobs look bigger?"
Me (studying them closely): "Yeah, they're bigger than usual."
Loren: "That's because I'm wearing two bras."
Me: "Wow."

9. (A little later on):
Me: "You missed Loren's breasts."
Simon: "Loren has breasts?"
Me: "Yeah. They were here."
Simon: "Damnit."
Me: "Yeah. Hey, I'm bored. Wanna swap t-shirts?"
Simon: "OK."

10. Fiona and Anna had the three girls they're going to live with next year over for dinner. These are fairly well off, slightly spoiled girls who live in quiet, catered accommodation and are not used to the likes of us. Instead of leaving them alone, we traumatised all of them by being loud, drunk and generally crazy.

In summary: we are awesome. I'm glad I live in Lafrowda and not some expensive place where no one talks to anyone else.
