Before I get myself in trouble with snarking, a meme that I saw over on [livejournal.com profile] maxiekatt2's journal the other week that looked too fun not to try.

See how long we can carry on a thread using nothing but our icons as communication. The more cracked out, the better. To leave a blank comment, merely reply with nothing but < in the comment field.

So... do I have any takers?
greyias: (hmm)
Woke up way too early this morning. Must remind myself to chillax.

So, after spending all week cramming my brain full of formulas, wire gauges, and project management strategies, I'm just about ready to think about something else. So, a meme!

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] mumumugen:

Pick a character that I have written, or that you know I have substantial headcanon about, and ask any five questions about him/her. Be sure to specify whether you would like responses to be OOC (responding as the writer) or IC* (responding as the character).

* Am I the only one who sees the potential for hilarity/tears with this option?

I'll be traveling most of the day, but I'll try to answer any of these this evening when I get back to the homestead.
greyias: (*poke*)
I am somehow surprised, unsurprised, taken aback, and outraged by the Proposition 8 shenanigans that continue in California. My feelings are best summed up by the one dissenting judge on the matter:

"Promising equal treatment to some is fundamentally different from promising equal treatment for all. Promising treatment that is almost equal is fundamentally different from ensuring truly equal treatment."

So, instead of shaking my head, I'm going to meme instead!

Fandom meme snurched up from [personal profile] jadesfire

The rules are simple, if you're interested leave a comment and I'll LJ stalk you to find THREE FANDOMS you apparently love. And then you answer these questions about them!

1) What got you into this fandom in the first place?
2) Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
3) Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
4) Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
5) Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?


[personal profile] jadesfire gave me Supernatural, Rawhide, and a choice between Doctor Who or Stargate Atlantis. I went with SGA after a little dithering.


Supernatural )


Rawhide )


SGA )

And snagging this from... I think everyone else on my f-list, although [personal profile] naye was the last one I saw with it.

Favorite Ship Meme )

And before I forget, I thought I would add that [community profile] sgabigbang sign-ups are still open in all areas (writers/artists/betas/cheerleaders/coders). [personal profile] jadesfire and I have signed up as a team, which is going to produce some interesting results for sure1. This is the last year this iteration of the Big Bang is going to be run, so if you do want to join in on the fun...

1 - Jades, are you suuuure?
greyias: (i dig it)
Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] mumumugen, cool numbers and all! :O

DEDICATE A SONG MEME
❶ Name 15 of your LJ Friends. Um... I can't count?
❷ Then put your music playlist on shuffle.
❸ Each random song is dedicated to one of your Friends. (Ex; First song for first friend on list)
❹ Ready? GO!!!

The head cold I'm fighting off is seriously hampering my ability to write anything coherent longer than a standard comment/comment reply. So, instead, I shall drown my entry with memes that I did yesterday while high on DayQuil1 and hope no one notices the difference.

Nicked from [livejournal.com profile] mumumugen:

CREATE YOUR BAND NAME & ALBUM COVER

To Do This... )

Mine looks like... okay, I have no idea, but it looks like some genre of music. Or something... I think the cold meds are wearing off.

GAH! )

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence.

Insert funny LJ-Cut Comment Here )

1 - Many apologies to anyone who received a strange comment from me in the past day or so. I get a little bit loopy on Day/NyQuil, even if they've taken out most of the fun ingredients these days.
greyias: (security drones)
Or maybe this post should be titled Hey, You Survived the Weekend (which Survived the Work Week)... but that would be long, cumbersome, and probably a little confusing. Sadly, Saturday night one small drink with the folks turned into an all-night party. Unfortunately that led to Sunday, where I was actually contemplating my survival of dehydration because I couldn't keep water even down. Oh... I need to start partying with people my age again. It's always much more lethal with my parents. (Also, much more lethal when you combine chardonnay and vodka. I'll save everyone some time: DON'T.)

Sunday morning I woke up with a dry mouth, and that vague dread you have when you realize you're conscious, but in a completely different room than when you were last cognizant. After a leery stretch for the nearest internet enabled device, I discovered that I thankfully passed out before I could grace you all with my lovely, illogical drunken wisdom. It was close, though. I had apparently started a post, but never finished it. For your amusement, here's a snippet:

Drunken Rambling and Crayon Table Sketches )


...um, yeahhh. Thankfully, though, I did not press "Post" at the end of the (even longer) drunken ramblings. Small favors.

We just finished up with the rather large project here at work, so I have a little time to breathe this afternoon before we start on the next big project. I'm thinking, though, that I seriously need to carve out some time of day to work on my writing. I might have to become a morning person, or something, since that appears to be the only time of day where nothing (and no one) can really interfere and distract me.

And... um... meme?

Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.
greyias: (Default)
Oh... this is going to end in tears. Maybe tears of hilarity, who knows? Either way...!

HANDMADE MEME

The first five people to respond to this post (saying they want in on the meme) will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
- What I create will be just for you.
- It'll be done this year.
- You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint something.
- I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this in your journal as well.


ETA: Four claims.
greyias: (peekaboo)
I have been informed by some not-so-anonymous people (*cough[livejournal.com profile] mumumugencough*) that it is mandatory for me to put one of these up this year. *dramatic sigh* So I guess I will. However, it's just a teensy bit close to Christmas, because, uh, the holidays EXPLODED on me? (You were wondering why the Ficmas dried up, weren't you? Really sorry, but it couldn't be avoided. I'm going to try really hard to finish those and have massive postings soon. Gomenasai!) Seeing as it is the 18th of December, I'm really not expecting anything, except maybe for you guys to have a good holiday season. (Yeah, I'm cheesy.)

Holiday Wishlist Instructions )

List )

And before I disappear back into the Holiday Madness Mist again, how's everyone doing this fine holiday season?

A post of real substance later! (Maybe.) But first... it's meme time! Yanked from [livejournal.com profile] mumumugen)

Step 1: Put your media player on random. iPod in my case
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating.

Meeeeeeeeme )

I think in this case, my iPod is revealing to the world how incredibly mainstream and boring my music tastes are (most of the time...)
greyias: (mcshep cell)
From [livejournal.com profile] aelfgyfu_mead:

If you saw ME in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for? Answer me, then post to your own journal and see how many crimes you get accused of.

Also, I'm eyeing that team sign-up post over at [livejournal.com profile] sga_flashfic and really having to talk myself out of it. Oh, too many fics on the plate already. I can't. I shouldn't. (And I will not write a 5 Things Thanksgiving Fic for the See No Evil 'verse. I will not. I will not.)
