I really, really want a beer. Just one. Make it a Texas Red Eye. Hold the vodka and the raw egg.
It's that time of year again...I am really, really, REALLY in the mood to hit up some anime conventions. Sitting out Sakura Con made me ten shades of sad. Barring any big financial obligations next year, i.e. foreign weddings, I will make room for at least one out-of-state con. Yes! Dammit!
In other news, I have a meme stolen from
snowcalico. Many thanks, sweetie!
1. My username is ______ because ______.
joseishijin, although I have been contemplating changing for awhile now. I used it because it was my handle on the animanga cel forum (remember those days, dear friends?). It means 'poetess' and, no, I do not have delusions of grandeur...I just like writing really bad free form poetry when the mood strikes. ^___^
2. My name is _____ because ______.
My name is Melissa because my mom liked the name. It was very popular in the early 70s.
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.
'You're So Vain, You Probably Think this LJ is About You.' I had a friend in college who used to tease me that I could not pass a mirror without looking at myself. She used to sing 'You're So Vain' to me, trying to be cute, but veering towards bitchy. Anyhoo, I was actually very self-conscious of how I looked and was constantly checking to make sure nothing was amiss. So, I figured there isn't anything quite as self-absorbed as a diary, so there you go!
4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.
'Friends.' I am le boring.
5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.
A picture I stole from a t-shirt I bought at Threadless T-Shirts. It's a brown girl with headphones on. And I am brown and like to wear headphones. Not all the time, obviously. But you know. Sometimes.
6. My LJ name (you know how you can change that sort of sub-name thing?) is:
'Simultaneously Funny & Sad.' Anyone out there a fan of the ridiculously wonderful Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn? They starred in the hilarious 'Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother.' Since my parents never regulated anything we watched as children, I saw this movie when I was like 7 and didn't get half the nasty jokes. Now I do. Score. Anyway, Madeline Kahn's character describes herself as simultaneously funny and sad. It's just a little piece of absurdity that has stuck with me and actually describes me very well!
7. What side of a heart do you draw first?
Left.
8. Can you dive without plugging your nose?
Yes, but I don't like to.

Oh, geez. I've had a couple of guys spread not-nice rumors about me, or specifically about me AND them. Totally not true, but there you have it.
13. How many chairs at the dining room table?
Four chairs and a bench. I love the bench!
14. Which is the best Spice Girl?

Ask me again tomorrow and I will have new answers because not only am I le boring, but I am le fickle too!

No thanks. I've already had a Mustang and wasn't too impressed with it.
25. What's something you've always wanted/recently wanted?
A clean house. More specifically a house that was cleaned for me, not by me.
