The Fandom Appreciation Meme: My Thread

This meme was started by the always fabulous cryptictac and is one of the most excellent ideas I have seen in a long, long time.

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

I Want To Break Free

You spurn my natural emotions
I think I'm in love
When I'm walkin' under stars
A foreign pair of dark sunglasses
It's been a hell of a summer
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
Someday my pain, someday my pain
If this was the Cold War we could keep each other warm
I am not here
I used to think maybe you love me
Poor girl, no Ma
I asked you a question
Wrapped around
I bet your wondering how I knew
Walking in the pouring rain
This thing called love
I see you everyday
They all stay
I am the wilderness locked in a cage
If you do want me give me a little sugar
She was cold and all alone

MOST RANDOM LYRICS EVER Y/Y?

Think of your favorite celebrity, the one who makes music sound better, movies and television brighter, the one you'd dash to the ends of the earth for if it meant you could save yourself from ever having to go a second without their magic. Then post your favorite 10-15 photos of him/her! Your favorites of your favorite.

I put exactly one guy on this list and well... Robert Sean Leonard better be into open relationships because as much as I love him I'm a lesbian (the one advantage is that he can father my pretty, pretty children.) Also nice to see that my future, according to this particular list has me driving the same car model and colour as the last car I drove and I still live in an apartment.

		I will marry Robert Sean Leonard.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in shanghai, China in our fabulous Apartment.
		We will have 8 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a Violet Hyundai Getz.
		I will spend my days as a Sociologist, and live happily ever after.

THE ♥ OTP ♥ MEME (redux)

I'm now going to try and get myself to Monash University's Clayton campus so I can use the Matheson Library and get the books that I desperately need to write my essay, books that are not currently available at either La Trobe's Borchardt Library or Monash - Caulfiled. Wish me luck.

From shoemoney2night Bold if you've seen every episode, italicize if you've seen at least one.

Hypothesis proven.

Also this is maybe my favorite icon right now, intertextuality FTW.

What (auto)biography of a fictional character would you most want to read - and what would it be like?

I'd like to read an autobiography of Gregory House. Obvious choice, yes but I'd like to see his view of the world first person, I imagine it would be witty and sarcastic and probably skim over or skip large sections of his life like George Harrison's biography in which the entry for 1973 (I think, it was the year his wife left him for Eric Clapton) was something to the effect of '1973 was a bad year.'

I'd also like to read both Mulder and Scully's autobiogrpahies, they would be awesome reads, I think Scully would be very upfront and frank in hers, Mulder would be a little literary and be concious of the storytelling process.


And a related meme:

Comment with the name of a character and I will answer with the name of that character's biography.

And possibly a bit of the table of contents. And possibly a paragraph or two.

Discussion post = you participate. :-))))))

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee!!

Kate Walsh is a woman who I find to be extraordinarily beautiful and she looks particularily beautiful in this icon, her laugh looks genuine and not posed.

A icon I made from a particularly lovely photoshoot, I named it balancing act because in the full length shot Sela is standing on one leg putting a shoe on.

by retro_palace
Once and Again was a TV shoe that screen on ABC in The States from 1999-2002 and much like Sports Night was a wonderful show that ABC cancelled due to chromically low ratings. It followed fortysomethings divorcees Rick and Lily (Sela Ward) as they fell in love. This particular icon features Lily and her younger sister Judy. Judy is my favorite character in the series mainly because I relate to her, she a decade older than me but has many of the same issues, namely being single and still not being entirely sure what she wants to do with her life. The relationship that Judy and Lily share is similar to the one that I share with my sister.

This could be seen as the slashiest of my Sports Night icons or it could be seen as something entirely different, I like the ambiguity of it and that Dan looks rather wooby in it.

Thanks to twentyfivepast we now have ( a long and detailed history of my livejournal. )

And finally from pretty much my whole flist:

Comment to this post with a subject for a top 5 (ships, songs, non-canon ships, etc.) you would like to see me answer, and I will reply to you with my answers. Feel free to ask more than one!

Now I'm going to read my flist a little more before getting ready to go and see Wilco(!!!) tonight.

Yeah, so after being way too busy to watch any TV for what feels like weeks I finally got to watching the most recent episodes of House and well, now I'm a total Wilson/Volakis fangirl (after been a fan of Amber for quite a few episodes, I seem to like the less popular ships and characters, my OTP is House/Stacy) and need more people to squee with, about Wilson and Amber, Amber minus wilson and about House in general (not that I don't already have a heap of fellow House fans on my flist already.) So friending meme time.

Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Which is the correct spelling?

Also randomly I saw a guy at my local Safeway a few minutes ago wearing a yellow t-shirt that said in huge blue lettering "This is prolly my most awesomest shirt." I LOLed.
