Two memes stolen from  inkdancer !

1) Reply with "Flying saucers for everybody!" and I'll give you four fandoms. You then have to make an entry writing about your favorite character from each fandom, and why.

Disney - When I was little, I always had three favorite Disney princesses: Anastasia, Megara, and Belle. I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence that none ( Read more... )

So, there's this game that I play, sometimes alone, sometimes with curmudgeonlet   in which you are given a budget and a theme and must trawl the internet to find a bunch of clothing to buy. For instance: "{insert natural disaster here} destroyed everything you own! Put together a whole new wardrobe for $2,000. Okay, go!" (those of you who are friends with ( Read more... )

As I see it, a LiveJournal is good for approximately three things:

• Posting bad poetry
• Forgetting it exists

That's right. I write poetry. Specifically, sonnets. I like them because I appreciate the structure, and cause it makes me feel all cool and old- ( Read more... )

 I've been feeling extra bitchy towards my friends lately, and I don't know why ( Read more... )

 So, last night (I don't know what's with all the weird vivid dreams lately... I need to stop drinking soda before I go to bed, eh?), anyway, last night, I dreamed that I was cast for a minor role in a Bones. I don't remember many details except that David Boreanaz was kind of an antisocial jerk, Emily Deschanel was a lot like Temperance except ( Read more... )

 I had the traveling dream again last night.

In it, I'm part of a secret group of travelers. I don't really know any personally, though, because I tend to travel ( Read more... )
