This weekend was a hell of a lot of fun, thanks mostly to a visit from my favorite doppelganger, spastic_visions. Hockey, Top Gear, and fabulously over-the-top action movies were watched (The Chronicles of Riddick never gets old, and Daybreakers has the best worldbuilding I've ever seen in a vampire movie), delicious food and drink were consumed, hilarious ( Read more... )

friends, meme

Most weekends are better when I'm there. =) The visit this weekend was a Very Good Idea. And if you write a LOM AU with zombies, I will be your cheerleader. For real. (And looking at the little write up about Lost in those questions, my god am I glad I quit watching when I did)

That it was. :D

God, I don't even like zombies, but this stupid idea isn't going away. Possibly it'll keep me occupied on the painfully dull car ride home tomorrow. We shall see.

Want some meme-questions?

Zombies make everything better. I have zombies in a lot of the stuff I write just for the sake of having zombies. Don't be afraid of them. THEY'RE JUST A METAPHOR FOR HORRIBLE DISEASE VECTORS.

Sure, meme questions sound lovely. I could use distractions from the midterms and the mountains of paperwork.

BUT HORRIBLE DISEASE VECTORS ARE THE WOOOOORRRRRST. WATCH, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WORK WITH LIVING THINGS: I'M GONNA GO OFF ON SOME RESEARCH TRIP AND COME BACK AS PATIENT ZERO FROM CONTACT WITH MUTANT BAT POO OR SOMETHING. AUUUUGH.

Okay, yes, calming down. Have some meme questions, then.

1. Best road trip you've ever taken?
2. What's the best article of clothing you've ever owned?
3. Biggest pet peeve?
4. What is your favorite snack food?
5. Do you ever name inanimate objects, like your car or computer?
6. Do you believe in anything supernatural (ghosts, demons, aliens, whatever?)
7. It is the inevitable zombie apocalypse! You can choose three fictional characters to be part of your Undead-Slaying Team of Badassery. Who do you select?

Sounds like a cracking weekend. Good luck with the forms and the midterms, not that you need luck of course.

You do know there have been LoM zombie stories and even, briefly, an LoM zombie com right? Really, the fandom would welcome it.

Thank you, dear. Everything went rather well on the application front -- glad all that nonsense is over for now!

Haha, I did not know about this! I keep forgetting that LOM has such a huge LJ presence. (I sort of think of that fandom as one of the Great Old Ones of LJ -- massive, powerful, but mostly under the radar these days...still, there are sometimes ominous rumblings from the deep.)

I'm one of those poor saps who perpetually shows up late to the party on the fandom front -- I watched LOM for the first time just last year, and was hardly aware of any fandom presence just because it wasn't a super-recent show. I shall have to investigate this!

Want some questions for the meme?

Compared to many online fandoms, Life on Mars was always on the small side, under 2,500 members at the main com at its height of activity. It was always a bit left of centre and with "real looking" people that kept a lot of potential shippers away who favour a well turned ankle. *g* At this stage it's not very active at all, small canons don't often lead to sustained fandoms, but there are some fen attempting to revive it, I'm just not sure how it will go.

I hadn't thought to ask for meme questions, but sure. *g*

MEMERSOOOOOOOOOON. I love him.

Here, have some questions!

1. If you could teleport anywhere in the world right now, where would you go and why?
2. What is your most prized worldly possession?

4. What is your favorite hot beverage and your favorite cold beverage?
5. What was the last weird dream you had about?
6. Do you think life exists on other planets?
7. What is the strangest thing you've ever seen, done, or found in LA?
