I'd Start A Revolution (If I could get up in the morning)

Stephen King meme taken from Jade:

( In which Ghani proves that she could be a better King fan )

God save me from the Blackfart fans

*rolls eyes*

Because Jade did it and it seemed like loads of fun, plus, some of these are wicked accurate!

Get Your Sexy Name

( More fun behind the cut )

Everyone else did this and, honestly, I'm kinda curious about the answers I'd get (or frightened, it's a toss up, ha!) So:

Without looking at my current and past character directories, what patterns do you associate with my roleplaying? For example, with X-Men RPing, this can include things like gender, mutant powers, physical details, PBs, family history, personalities, specific characters, etc.

1. One movie that made you laugh: Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

2. One movie that made you cry: Titanic. Like a freaking little baby, and every time I watch it, too.

3. One movie you loved when you were a child: Anything Disney, really. I guess one of my very favorites was their version of Robin Hood, the animated one with the animals!

4. One movie you’ve seen more than once: Many! But let's do which movie I've seen the most, and that would be Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back!

5. One movie you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it: Heh, I basically have no shame, so it's pretty hard for me to be embarrassed by anything I could admit to. But maybe I'll choose the one that others are embarrassed by my liking, ha! And that'd be Daredevil: The Director's Cut.

6. One movie you didn't like: Pan's Labyrinth. Seriously. It made me feel gross all over by the end. In the immortal words of my best friend Shelley, "It's just...nasty."

7. One movie that scared you: Night of the Living Dead, the original.

8. One movie that bored you: The Ruins. Jonathan Tucker and Joe Anderson, even your fabulous performances could not save this bowser!

9. One movie that made you happy: Ratatouille.

10. One movie that made you miserable: Waitress. It made me happy to begin with, but then the character of the husband was in it more and more and was just so disgusting and then she didn't even hook up with Nathan Fillion at the end! Pneh.

11. One movie you weren’t brave enough to see: Saw. James Wan just gives me the heebies! I've never seen Death Sentence either, despite the enticement of Garrett Hedlund!

12. One movie character you’ve fallen in love with: Indiana Jones.

13. The last movie you saw: In the theater, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; on DVD, The Orphanage. (Verdicts were: worth it; not.)

14. The next movie you hope to see: I really want to see Pineapple Express but I don't know if that's going to happen. And they moved Harry Potter back to next summer, so I dunno. Whatever catches my fancy and I have money to pay for a ticket at the same time. On DVD, we just rented Amazing Grace which I'm hoping to watch soon.

Oh man! Just got our power back and, damn, are we grateful for it! I swear, a couple of hours in Florida in August without air con and, when it finally switches on again, you feel as good as the caveman who invented the wheel must have done! XD

Everything's pretty stable right now, high winds obviously, and lots and lots of rain, but my sister got half a day today and the library's closed tomorrow! Hey, I'd suffer through a tropical storm for a long weekend, too! ;-P

( The Best Thing About Me Meme )

Okay, I wanna know why I don't get a list of famous passionate people, just suggested occupations! Maybe they thought it'd look bad if it was, like, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Marquis de Sade, Jenna Jameson... XP

Here comes Tropical Storm Fay!

Info and warnings on the storm's path etc.

And, for reference, just where the heck Gainesville is on a map of Florida.

So, good news, bad news, we're not sure yet. Keep in mind, the projected path has changed about five times over the past two days. So, we'll see.

Liked this so much the first time, I thought I'd resurrect it since we're resurrecting old memes. And, also, because only, like, half of my answers ended up having anything to do with what my personal canon evolved into. But I got Kincaid out of it the last time:

The minor character meme: Give me one or more of my characters and one minor character in their lives (i.e. their mother, their father, their first crush, their crazy neighbor lady, etc. etc.), and I'll tell you 5 facts AND who I'd use as a PB for said minor character.

( The Roster So Far )

Answers from the last time are: here and here.

No need to answer this, just thought that I wanted Laila to keep her word about trying to find out about Bella; didn't warrant its own post, especially since Robin basically knows about Jack and Bella from Thora, so it seemed kind of right to pop it in there! :-)

( My Harry Potter Husband )

Awesome. And I actually wasn't angling for that answer either! Quelle surprise!

Tweaked Skye Jackson's profile just a bit; I made her a bit of a bare-knuckle street boxer just because I thought she ought to be more than just mouth and because I was listening to Simon & Garfunkel's The Boxer last night and it reminded me of her.

Also, Jade and Muse, do you wanna do Jack contacting Thora and Pup via mirror to let them know he's alright? Or d'you just want to skip it like he has or not do it at all? I am at your mercy, kind gentlewomen :-)

Yay, my sister's book has customer reviews over on Amazon.com: T4 by Ann LeZotte! It is, apparently, a "pithy, piercing book!"

It is 1939. Paula Becker, thirteen years old and deaf, lives with her family in a rural German town. As rumors swirl of disabled children quietly disappearing, a priest comes to her family's door with an offer to shield Paula from an uncertain fate. When the sanctuary he offers is fleeting, Paula needs to call upon all her strength to stay one step ahead of the Nazis.

My favorite quote from a review:

Ms. LeZotte manages to meld history's big picture and Paula's little story into one narrative, the greatest challenge for historical fiction. History is nearer after one reads this book, through the eyes of one young woman. The straight, strong voice of the Deaf rings through these pages, and the spirit of all persecuted people burns here, flare-bright.

Ugh, I feel like I've been up for, like, forty-eight hours straight even though I did actually grab a couple hours of sleep this morning, sometime between 7 and 10; it's all kind of nebulous, yes, I'm that tired :-P Sleep tonight would be nice, especially if I'm going to be any good for anything tomorrow, oy!

And now, a meme, brought to you by, well, you 'cause I got it from nearly everyone on my flist, heh!

One True Pairing Ship:
Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
"When all is said and done" Ship:

I woke up with the unpleasant surprise today that I'm sick. Bleh. i thought my sore throat yesterday was just because I hadn't slept, but I see now it's persisting, so I know I have many tags to respond to (many very delicious tags, meheheheh!) and will do it soon but it's lying down and resting for me today, like I did yesterday, and hoping that it passes quickly.

Huggles to all!

Just how dirty are you willing to go with Rodney and Anika in the nightclubbing post, because, I'll tell ya, my brain is going to very, very naughty places with the two of them, hee!

After the weird start to the week I had, with the downswing and then upswing and then evening out, it was really pleasant to just have a rest today; it was nice and rainy and me and the bro put on a couple of horror movies. Thankfully, Netflix was obliging and two arrived in my mailbox. I'd wanted to grab Day of the Dead for a while and it was Jade's recommendation that finally spurred me to move it up on my queue. Some good B-movie stuff; I liked the weird way the zombies moved, especially the ceiling action. It was more like Resident Evil that the Resident Evil movies were! Plus, I have a huge girl-crush on Mena Suvari.

The second movie was, hmmm, not so hot. How you could go wrong with a cast like Joe Anderson, Jena Malone and Jonathan Tucker (my Will PB, mmmmmmm, ass shots and all, though I felt cheated that his dressing scene was shot from the hip up when I had to see the chick from The Covenant's tits)? Oh, I know the answer to this: make the movie really, really boring, and the characters shallow enough that you don't care who dies. Actually ( cut for spoilers ) This doesn't occur to them, as shallow as they are. But am I sorry I watched it? Did I mention Jonathan Tucker ass? Hell no!

Third movie I got from Netflix was Eastern Promises, which I'm saving to watch with my sister and which I've already watched myself. Don't think my brother would like it, though he's surprised me with some of the other Oscar winners this past year--he really liked No Country for Old Men. He prefers the lighter fair, though, and the subtle artistic nuances of cinema are kinda lost on him.

Relaxing day all around :-D

So, yeah, it doesn't happen a whole hell of a lot but as many of you may have noticed I'm a bit on the manic side today, which is the result of being sluggish and depressed yesterday after taking a sleeping pill. I think I'd rather not sleep because today I'm just running through everything at a million miles a second and then having panic attacks about it afterwards! Yes, I'm pretty crazed--productive, but crazed. Things should be--hopefully!--back to normal--for me!--by tomorrow but when I start getting hyper and worrying about everything, it's time to go have a lie down, as my sister always tells me! Maybe even if I nap, I'll sleep it off. So, really, no cause for concern, just kind of an apology if I seem a bit well, manic and strange today :-P

ETA: So, strange seemed like the wrong word to use, because then you might start thinking, like, serial killer strange, and that's not it at all! Different's wrong, too, because I'm me, I'm just like gregarious me. Okay, I'll stop now. XP
