Trouble Times Two
Hey look, two meme-ish things I found interesting, behind polite cuts:
Meme 1: So, the idea is you search for your birthday at Wikipedia and list interesting births/deaths/things. The original meme had some quotas, but heck with that, here's the ones that catch my fancy.
Meme 2: ok, the idea on this one is you take requests from commenters, pick one of their LJ interests, and draw a crappy MSPaint picture. Of course, I'll have to use crappy AppleWorks drawing tools or something. I'll only promise for the first 5 requests or so, so it doesn't get out of hand, but I might do more if I have time. Then you're supposed to do the same thing in your journal, but since I'm not a stickler for viral propagation, I'll give you another out: just do one for me (if you haven't already). Also, I'm supposed to post ones already done for me, so here's one from dolohov (the image name gives away the interest):
And I'm still waiting on one from donaithnen. ;)
I know, I know, I haven't updated for a while and all you get are memes? Well, I spent all of last weekend sick, which wasn't much worth writing about. I've been playing tons of Suiko5 - it's still good. I really need to mow the lawn this evening. Whee, exciting. Desu.
