I have decided that my lj posts are just like Twitter messages. But I save them up all day and share them, like that loud Twitter thing. Except that I do not suck. So, without further ado:
1. Okay, so on the way home in the car last night, magic 8-pod asked me the following question: Which would make a worse Jack/Ianto vid: Extreme's 'More Than Words' or Toni Braxton's 'Un-Break My Heart'? I'm not sure, and just contemplating what clips I would put in the vids makes me want to scream. In the bad way, not the sexy fun 'not in the face not in the face' way.
I just reread that and I snorted coffee up the back of my nose.
2. So
cruentum did this meme so we could unburden ourselves about him. It occurs to me that while I have unburdened myself in the user info, I have not recently BOMBARDED YOU WITH A WITTILY ANSWERED MEME. YOU HAVE BEEN LANGUISHING AWAY WITHOUT MY CAREFULLY CRAFTED (AD)MINISTRATIONS-THAT LAST BIT WAS FOR
angstslashhope.

2. Two things you like about yourself:
3. Put this in your lj so I can tell you what I think of you?
1. Name: Jesus, that's so easy. I didn't even have to think about that one! WORK HARDER, MEME.
2. Birthday: Only once a year, but don't let that stop you, folks! Send me presents whenever!
3. Where do you live: I live in Pittsburgh. I'm all about pwning my location, because we have a great FOOTBALL team, and we are poised to lose the Stanley Cup. Oh, and also, we make those sandwiches that have the coleslaw AND THE FRIES (CHIPS) on them. You're welcome.
4: What are you studying/What are you working as: I am a mum. It is very hard, but I get paid by the government to do it, so I figured, Damn the Man, Save the Empire and all that.
5. What makes you happy: teaming up with Jean-Paul Sartre to fight nausea. Uhm. That is very hard to say, isn't it? Right now, it's coffee.
6. What are you listening to now/have listened to last: I just checked my ipod, and OH MY GOD I WAS LISTENING TO OLD SKOOL SARAH MCLACHLAN. I'm almost embarrassed to say that.
7. What is particularly good/bad about my LJ: (about
cruentum) Your LJ is awesome, and you are easy to read. But you are all too mathy! All you and your friends with the smart. (Ignore me. I'm engaging in hyperbole. You are all just too smart for me. I am comfortable with this. Hee.)
8. An interesting fact about you: About me? I like big butts and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny. Actually, well, uhm. I got nothing. Just assume I said something EXTREMELY interesting. Pause, cock your head to the side as you stare at the screen and say, "Really? Huh." Then scroll on.
This, if I was one to study the nature of these things and how they evolve, is where the average meme taker loses speed. Now you stop being witty and just answer with the ACTUAL answers, because you wish it was over already.
9. Are you in love/have a crush at the moment: Nope nada niet nein nothing.
10. Favorite place to be: I like where we are, when we drive in your car.
11. Favorite lyric: Currently 'You ain't artsier than me, coz you speak real soft and you drink chai tea.'
12. Best time of the year: Santa keeps telling me that Christmas is THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. THIS IS MASS CONSPIRACY. The best time of the year is RIGHT NOW. Tomorrow it will be tomorrow, and so on and so on. Except for Thursday, on which it will be March 56th.
13. Weirdest food you like: Pickled beets and eggs. No wait, do sweetbreads count? Is that weird?
RECOMMEND
1. A film: I HAVE THE WORST TRACK RECORD WITH RECOMMENDING FILMS. I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN. Srsly. Ask
earthly_gnome or
idyll or
emquilxy. I made them see Silent Hill in the theatre. That's how bad my judgement is.
2. A book: John Fowles' The Magus
3. A song: MC Chris's Tractorbeam
4: A band: NO. See movies.
