Okay, so here are the answers to the meme! I'm actually pretty surprised no one said Batman, haha. (And if anyone's only just noticing I posted the meme now that I'm answering it, feel free to give me another fandom. This is fun!)

First up, Pokemon, asked by blackjackrocket! Um, I'm not really *in the fandom*, but I'll give it a go anyway. (And if you'd like to give me another fandom, Blackjack, that'd be fine.) I'll probably end up just talking about stuff in the games/show that I like. ( One! )

And next up is Kingdom Hearts, asked by demonoflight! Yay, I actually kinda sorta participate in this one. XD ( Two! )

And finally, Sailor Moon, asked by diana_lucifera! Sailor Moon was the first fandom I remember caring about, and my first anime. I've been a fan since... first grade. That's like, two thirds of my life. Wow. (Fair warning, I speak an odd mixture of dub and sub. It's mostly sub with some dub names kind of at random.) I also still haven't gotten around to watching Stars yet, so that's why there's no mention of it. (I need to get on that, huh?)( ...Three! *Dream Mirror* )

And because I said I was going to start doing this, .

I'm totally stealing this from 'Stina, because it looks like fun.

Give one of my fandoms and I'll tell you:

1. The first character I fell in love with:
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t:
4. The character I love that everyone else hates:
5. The character I would shag anytime:
6. The character I'd want to be like:
7. The character I'd slap:
8. A pairing that I love:
9. A pairing that I despise:
10. Favorite character:
11. What are my five favorite things about the fandom?
12. What are my five least favorite things about the fandom?
13. Who are my five favorite characters?
14. Who are my five least favorite characters?
15. What are my five favorite pairings?
16. What are my five least favorite pairings?
17. Which character you are most like?
18. What is my deep, dark fandom secret?

Some people have dreams about sexy times with attractive fictional characters. I have dreams about Silent Hill monsters and teeth falling out. Thanks, brain!

Fun Thing to Do: Watch a Sekhmet episode of Ronin Warriors (the whole series is up on youtube, so this is easy) and interpret all references to venom/poison/etc as sexual.

It's just too damn easy. "At least you can say you felt my sting!" "What do you think of my poison's taste?"

...And then I got to the rescuing Kento episode and Cale's talk of thrusting. What kind of show is this?

I'm just gonna leave these here. Holy fuck, these people are scary. My only consolation is that since these... people are Christian (allegedly, at least), they're all going straight to hell. (And here's where I'm specifically not going to rant about proselytizing/trying to convert people and how much I loathe it and want to punch people for it. Moving on!)

Also, from a comment on a post in sf_drama: Not that I'm an expert on this subject, but Kali definitely seems to fall into the "Any Attention Is Bad Attention" category of deities, right up there with, say, Loki or Hades.

*snort* Okay, I'm not an expert either, but isn't Hades pretty chill? Like, he's only got the one Dude, Not Cool moment that I know of, which is like ridiculously low for Greek deities. And I know even less about Kali, so I can't comment, other than I'm pretty sure this epic eye roll I'm doing right now is deserved. And of course Loki is in this comment! I mean, everyone knows he's totes Satan in disguise, right? Pfffhaha.

I've seen this whole "Oh noes! Don't even look at [deity] the wrong way or THEY'LL EAT YOU NOOOOOOO" stuff before, and it's some seriously bizarre bullshit. It's usually trickster types and death-related deities which get this, and I can kind of understand why some idiotspeople react that way, but seriously? First of all, they're just doing their thing like everybody else (I mean really, is there a bunch of, say, Poseidon hate because sharks are omgmean? Not that I've ever seen.). Second, and probably more important, you probably don't want to seriously piss off ANY deities by that logic. I personally am waaaaaay more skittish about the head dude-types like Zeus and Odin (and their wives! Their wives are scary as hell!). They're WAY easier to piss off, and being the head dudes, are more likely to get away with whatever extremely unpleasant thing they do to you. (And don't EVEN piss off the Christian god. Just... don't go there, man.) Death-type deities, from what I've seen, are usually pretty laid-back. And tricksters? Well, they're tricksters, y'all; were you expecting them to be all huggy and unambiguous? Where's the fun in that?! I mean what And don't even get me started on how important trickster figures are; we'd be here all day, and this is already long.

tl;dr-- Life is not all fluffy bunnies, and neither are your deities and pantheons. Get over it or go home.

There really is one of these for every fandom, isn't there?

...And no, I really don't want to know what Neitherworld internet porn is like. It's probably too gruesome and pun-filled to contemplate.

lol Kanye Knock Knock Who's There? Interrupting Kanye Interrupting Kanye wh-- Yo description, I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but Interrupting Cow is one of the best knock knock jokes of all time.

Dear World,

Please stop asking me what I want to do with an English degree. I know that about as well as I know Russian. Also, if you keep asking me how school's going, I will be forced to actually tell you, instead of making up stories so you won't feel bad. Yes, I am giving up a full scholarship. That should tell you something, shouldn't it? Oh, but you're not supposed to let on how miserable you are to anyone except the very closest people in your life. Otherwise you're just whining. Right.

Yes, I know that asking me about school is really the only safe question to ask a 20 year old. Allegedly. Maybe you could ask me about my hobbies or something instead, idk.

Whatever,
Me

P.S. I wonder how many bricks would be shat if I let on that I'm considering something besides college...?

Dear iTunes,

Thanks ever so much for randomly removing 2/3 of the library. (~3100 songs to 992) Fortunately, you didn't actually delete anything, and I just get to re-add TWO THOUSAND SONGS to you. Thanks also for misplacing all the playlists. Yes, even the ones that you come with. Genius! Now I get to spend the next who-knows-how-long putting all my music back in you, BACKING UP THE LIBRARY THIS TIME HURF DURF, and reinstalling you, because you're an untrustworthy bastard. Good job! Maybe we'll even get this done tonight!

FUCK YOU WHARRGARBL ETC,
Sparky

P.S. At least I don't have to redownload podcasts, reupload CDs, or repurchase anything from the shitty Store. You just hid all of that in a folder, which I found. Consider yourself lucky.

P.S.-- I still want a ponymotorcycle. Would you be willing to trade one for this breakdown I've been having? It's not in my size, and the color's all wrong.

Ffffffff

Yeah, I'm gonna need one of these.

I had a dream about sf_d this morning. Specifically, that I started a new meme and then sf_d turned on me and used it only on me (I don't dream things that could actually happen very often, so this was an interesting change).

That might be a sign that I'm on the computer a little too much. Lawls.

Dream, dream, don't doubt it. A dream of dreams that dreaming children have.
Dream, dream, don't doubt it. A dream of dreams that dreaming children have.
Dream, dream, don't doubt it. A dream of dreams that dreaming children have.
Dream, dream, don't doubt it. A dream of dreams that dreaming children have.

Reading sf_d
An adventurer is me!
Procrastination.

Last night/this morning, I had a dream where I had seven (!!!) kids. As in, still in the hosptial. And then we (who? I have no idea, bu a bunch of "us") wanted to go... get something to eat, I think. So I asked Remus Lupin to babysit.

Wat. Subconcious, you are loony.

Happy LOUD NOISES Day, if you're into that. The "Donut Fairy" (aka Mrs. F who boards horses here) left us a box of donuts this morning. Mmm, donuts. And not just boring old (but still delicious) regular glazed donuts either. My share, at least, contains one of those, an eclair (!!!), and a maple cake donut.

It's a good day today. May everyone's obnoxious neighbors accidentally a firecracker (the whole thing), and donuts for all!

...Um, I'm gonna guess the person who asked this has never known a cat. Or a dog. Or--. Anyway. Yes. (*insert obligatory link to Robot Chicken's "Cats Are Jerks" bit*)

Also, I totally just ordered one of these.

I think some do, definitely. Not cats though, the little fluffy bastards (<3).

In other news, any time I need a disparaging remark made about the Japanese, I can always go to my grandma. Thanks grandma! I'm sure Japan loves you, too.

I'm (more or less) enjoying being home, by the way. It's nice feeling somewhat human again. Also I can has cat whenever I want. Rewatched first half of G Gundam, now rewatching first half of Gundam Wing. Playing FFXII and various KH. Put up shelves in room. Reread Outlander and... Voyager (? the second one). Cleaning room. Plotting things. Watched part of Sailor Stars (the animation is so pretty! Also, Outer Senshi!). Oh! And found my Pokemon TCG Gameboy game (as well as Donkey Kong... Land? The Gameboy one). Man, I missed that game. I'm also now the proud owner of Enchanted, Chicago, Corpse Bride, and... wait for it... the Dragonlance movie. Yes.

So, that's me, more or less. How've y'all been?

*clears throat*
I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

profsparky: song lyrics for all occassions! And yes, this is a dumbass question.




Also, I think I'll start posting these when I have 'em to post:

My omelet smells like goldfish crackers. Why does my omelet smell like goldfish crackers, somebody please tell me. Oh god.

Thanks a lot, caf guy.

You know what would be epic? An ironic/angry cover of "How Lovely to Be a Woman." You know, that song in the commercial. How lovely to be a woman, the wait was well worthwile. How lovely to be wear mascara, and smile a woman's smile. Let's get, like, Ani DiFranco or someone similar to cover it. That would be pretty much the best thing ever. Y/n?



In less epic news, R.I.P. Bea Arthur. You will be missed. D:

Oh lord, CrazyCrazy is attempting to engage me again. This time she's picking a nit about gender-neutral names, and the fact that I expressed interest in having one in the midst of a facebook survey. This should be good.

EDIT: Here, let me add her comment, and my response.

The question, and my answer: 1. If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I dunno. I've never really felt like much of a Stephanie, but I don't have any alternatives lined up. I'd love a more gender-neutral name, though.

Her: Wow. Much indecision, and multiple answers. Why did you refuse to tag anyone? What is a gender-neutral name? Do you not want telemarketers to know if they should say Mr. or Ms. when they call you? That happens to my mom all the time. People address her over the phone as Mr. because her name is Shawn. Why would you want that? Ashley? Courtney? Those are male and female names, but most people associate them with females. Give me one name that is completely "neutral."

Me: Wow, yes, a survey on facebook is clearly so important that I should soul-search and narrow down my answers. I don't like tagging people because I know some people don't like doing surveys, and also so I don't accidentally tag someone who's already done it. And I'm too lazy to tag. A gender-neutral name, obviously, is a name that does not ... Read Moreimmediately register as male or female. Personally, I don't want telemarketers to call me at all. There are also a number of gender-neutral names, although many of them are skewed one way or another, at least for me personally. And, hmm, how about Alex? Or Avery? Or Jamie? Or Casey? Jesse? Jordan? Although I have no idea why I have to magically have a perfect, gender-neutral name for you, since I said in my answer that I didn't have any ideas in particular. Avery looks kind of nice, though...

EDIT 2: How surprising, she got even ruder.

Her: Yeah, I think those are all male, although I am increasingly meeting female Jordans. I know more girls Alexes than boy, though. Jamie is a girl name. I think anything with -ie is a female name. Jesses is a country name! The gender doesn't even matter! You don't HAVE to have a name, but since you said you wanted one, I assumed that they must exist, unless there are none, in which case, how could you have one? Jesus Christ, testy...calm down, it was supposed to be fun...damn....

Me: Gintrelle, you are the one who came in with a list of dimuborderline-rude questions and demands. I just didn't feel the need to sugarcoat my reply. Like I already said, most gender-neutral names tend to "feel" either male or female to me; those are just the ones I googled quickly. Jamie can also be a variation of James. I don't know why I'm ... Read Moresupposed to take your word for it that Jesse is "a country name," but whatever.

Basically, Gintrelle, you are the one stirring shit here, so please don't try to put it on me when I don't feel like taking your argumentative garbage for once. Not everythig has to be a debate. I idly expressed a desire, you attacked the hell our of it, I responded. I didn't even respond that rudely, to be honest. You started it, and now you're trying to escalate it. Why? Why is my possibly wanting a (more) gender-neutral name so offensive to you? Damn.

Also, fuck off Adam. You're not funny.

Good news, everyone: NY vows to legalize same-sex marriage!

Now I want an "I [rainbow]♥ NY" t-shirt.

EDIT: Well, this certainly explains a lot about my grandmother. :x

"As nice as whatever you're watching/listening to must be, 10pm (and later) is not the time to share it with your neighbors.
Thanks. :)"

That's the note I just left my obnoxious neighbor. You know, the one who gets on my case everytime I make noise, and yet she makes all kinds of racket.

I think the smiley face at the end really makes it.

I am amused by people on the internet who look down their nose at anything that's a part of "internet culture." I don't mean being annoyed by chatspeak (though claiming not to know what it is at all will make me raise an eyebrow), but more the attitude of "oh, you silly people on the internet," while you yourself are on the internet.

Why yes, I am talking to CrazyCrazy. How did you guess? (There may be bonus "lol gay people" aggravation forthcoming.)

EDIT: OTOH, "you always know what to dislike" may be the best compliment I've gotten all year. XD
