yadda yadda yadda
First, a bit of pimping. paperback_icons finally has an affiliates post. (Special shout-out to already existing affiliates, sparkleandsquee and stupidsexyicons!)
Second, to my ballet teacher:
You are awesome, definitely my favorite ballet teacher yet. In fact, you are so interesting you will probably get your own post in the near future. But please, for the love of god, get some more music. How the hell am I supposed to concentrate on tendus when a not-quite-easy-listening piano cover of "On My Own" is being played?! Circumstances that keep me from singing with anything from Les Miz are cruel and unusual.
Though I admit, doing grand battements to "Climb Every Mountain" is kind of hilarious.
Frustrated love,
that girl who'd seen a production of Copenhagen
Third, memes.

Name a character (or characters) and I'll tell you what I think of all of them.
Or just name something and I'll give you a short list of characters I like and hate.
And one that I became curious about when I saw it floating around some days ago...
Pick up to 15 pairings.
Describe them in less than 15 words.
Have your flist guess the pairings.
PROFIT
1. They fill each other with conviction.
2. They dismissed each other. Now they accept each other fully. (Ahiru and Fakir, Princess Tutu. Guessed by bookelfe!)
3. They are their jobs. But they're also each other's home. (Ginko and Tanyuu, Mushishi. Guessed by karakael!)
4. He's difficult, but with her everything will be alright. (Sakura and Syaoran, Cardcaptor Sakura. Guessed by aubergine_pilot!)
5. It's hair-raising. In a good way. (Sophie and Howl, Howl's Moving Castle and beyond. Guessed by bookelfe!)
6. She gave him a new world, but maybe he'll keep her in this one.
7. Teenage denial, in life and beyond it. (Orlando and Sam, Otherland. Guessed by aubergine_pilot!)
8. They went through worse than hell together. In heaven they had to part. (Lyra and Will, His Dark Materials. Guessed by bookelfe!)
9. Her belief and his caring make for something good.
10. They know their flaws, but see the beauty in each other which others overlook.
11. They'd be all each other needed, if only they could touch. (Crystal and Lord Death, Wizard of the Grove. Guessed by karakael!)
12. He'd die for her without saying a word. Hopefully she won't let that happen.
13. Maybe the only thing more important than the truth is each other. (Mulder and Scully, The X-Files. Guessed by aubergine_pilot!)
And for the record:
Blah blah blah historic inauguration blah blah blah excellent speech, gave me a bit more hope blah blah blah Ted Kennedy blah blah blah Aretha Franklin blah blah blah Bernie Madoff has a hell of a lot to answer for, even if the Royal Bank of Scotland has been engaging in other foolish behavior as well.
