Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than twenty icons, post them all. If you have between twenty and fifty icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, and what significance it has.

Most awesome-tastic thing heard in a while: The Pogues covering "Do You Believe In Magic?" *laughs*

Close second: The radio-friendly version of "Boys From The County Hell", mainly because the lyrics stop making sense when you replace all the profanity. "We got him out the back and we beat him 'til he bawled"? Really?

Yes. I fail. I've been off LJ for way too long. I haven't been commenting. I know.

And instead of, y'know, finding people's posts and commenting, here, have a userpics meme!

Iiiiii feel like I've been run over by a truck. Good times. I hate being vaguely sick. I'd almost rather be blatantly sick, because then at least you know what's wrong and people sympathize and let you stay in bed all day and not wonder out loud why you're curled up in a tiny ball on the couch. *flail*

Blegh. Never take a flight that requires that you be awake at 3AM. I'm serious, when at 10:30AM you're wondering why the day isn't over yet, and you still have a class and work to get through? Not fun.

Stuff!


Meme 1 (snagged from [info]kawaiispinel):

List twelve characters without looking at the questions. Then answer the questions by replacing the corresponding number with the character.

1. Michael Dawson (Lost)
2. Peri Brown (Doctor Who)

questions here )

Meme 2 (snagged from [info]trascendenza):

List 7 songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words or even if they're not any good but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to in absolute random order.

7 songs )


Meme 3 (snagged from [info]martoufmarty):

...theatre humor is so inappropriate. :D



Instead of doing homework like I should have done and like I'm still not doing after work and before rehearsal, I vegged out and watched my new Hair DVD. OMG I LOVE RAÚL SO MUCH. And him singing "Hair"? SO MUCH LOVE. If those jeans were any tighter they would cut off circulation, and grabbing his crotch on the line "Down to there"? SO MUCH LOVE. *dies*

(Major props also to Adam, Julia, Shoshana, Jai, and Lillias, but OMG RAÚL.)



Anna meme (from [info]fandom_meme), because I am a meme whore:

Choose 12 characters and put them in a numbered list. Once you've chosen, go behind the cut and grab these questions to answer them. No peeking until your list is complete!

And because I'm in a Mood (specifically exhausted), characters I don't usually throw onto these lists!

1. Penny Widmore (Lost)
2. Doyle (Andromeda)
3. Ian Chesterton (Doctor Who)
4. Jeremy Darling (Dirty Sexy Money)

Stolen from everybody.

1. Go here: http://www.careercruising.com/default.asp
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark
3. Take their “Career Matchmaker” questions
4. Post the top ten results.


1. Film and TV Crew
2. Cosmetologist
3. Commercial Diver
4. Hairstylist
5. Tattoo Artist
6. Esthetician
7. Director of Photography
8. Makeup Artist
9. Lighting Technician
10. Set Designer
11-40 )

The awesome thing is, I can actually see me doing some of these. Well, obviously nobody wants me for their Medical Imaging Tech or Nuclear Medicine Technologist, but Film and TV Crew? Director of Photography, Makeup Artist, Lighting Technician, Set Designer, Camera Operator, Recording Engineer, Special Effects Technician, those kinds of things? Pretty much what I'm planning to do anyway. :D :D :D

So, here's how it works. Name a character from one of the fandoms listed below. I will produce no fewer than 100 words on why I love, hate, or am indifferent to that character.

BUT! There's a price. You must produce no fewer than 100 words on why you love another character in the same fandom. It doesn't need to be someone I'm all that familiar with, or even know at all. It just has to be love. Obvious choices are fine, and if someone else has either posted on that character or asked me to, go again and love on them anyway.


Andromeda
Animaniacs
Animorphs
Calvin and Hobbes
Chess (the musical)
Doctor Who
Dresden Files
Enderverse (both Ender's Game and its sequels and Ender's Shadow and its sequels)
Evil Dead
Farscape
Firefly
Heroes
Hitchhikers' Guide
Into the Woods
John Doe
Lost
M*A*S*H
Narnia
Newsies
Princess Bride
Psych
Rent
Roswell
Sliders
Torchwood
X-Files
Young Wizards

...if you know that there's a fandom I'm familiar with that I've forgotten to include in the list, go ahead and ask about that. I have so very many fandoms I tend to forget them.



And the two uploads I promised: Fairytale of New York (with Kirsty MacColl) and Christmas Lullaby (full length).

Today's Jones Soda says: You are heading in the right direction



Soooo, exams? DONE. Yeah. *cheers*

...I have no idea how I did on any of them except Oral Interp, which I got back today. But I aced Oral Interp? So maybe I did good on the rest?

Flying home on Friday. Meeting up with my Niki babe on Saturday. *bounce* I'm soooo excited about that. I haven't seen her in too damn long. And we're exchanging gifts on the 15th, yay!

[info]ascendant_angel graciously gave me some really great advice on where to go with TTOBL so hopefully I'll be able to get some more work done on that. And write my [info]lost_hohoho and [info]hiatus_stories fics. And the [info]idol_reflection essay about Harper. Oh, yeah. I suck.

Instead of writing, I've been reading Newsies fic. Mostly Spot fic. It's been making me happy, as long as I stay away from all the Mary Sues that infest the fandom. And the Flamer!Spot fics. And the fics where Spot gets all emo and poetic about his lost love, 'cause...no. No.

Shea, your card and gift are in the mail!

To do:
-Upload Sliders icons, post them, and give the link to [info]morgeil.
-Finish betaing.
-Pack for Friday. Hopefully I will be able to get by without having to check a bag. I hate checking luggage.
-Clean up my dorm room.
-Get some writing done.
-Make more Newsies icons. Why? Because I can.
-Sleeeep.

OH. Niki. Are we still on for the Leo DiCaprio night? And, er, when are we planning to meet on Saturday? 'Cause the 'rents are agreeable to driving me up. *bounce*
