Random Friday Update

[tzikeh]

1) I love you guys. I slept for 12 hours. I took an exam. I have a sinus headache, my period, and canker sores (discovered yesterday that canker sores can be brought on by stress and menstruation. Gee, interesting.) I have cocoa. jacquez says custard sounds good, and I agree. I want my cat to come sit in my lap. I don't feel well. Did I mention the part where I love you guys?

2) There is a Fandom Blue Book Exam online that I'm sure many of you have seen already, but if you haven't, you should. Do not drink liquids while reading.

3) The Cortina (Life on Mars car) is on Ebay, being auctioned off for Britain's Comic Relief charity. Description written by "Gene Hunt". Current bid - 10,000 pounds.

4) Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog. Brief selection from today's entry:

WHAN ADAM DELF
by Anonymous
Whan Adam delf, and Eve span,
Who had to write two bookes to get tenure?

5) tjonesy is coming to visit me so that we can vid BSG and write BSG and I can show her Life on Mars and EZ Streets and we can go to fun restaurants and we can do other fun things. This brings me joy.

6) I have many, many lj posts to write, and spring break is coming up, so yay.

7) House was actually damned good this week. And Dave Matthews was really good as the patient!

8) Most recent funny quotes from the "Things I am Not Allowed to Do on the Galactica" thread at TWOP:

GoldfishGirl42

958. Hera Agathon's new nickname is not "cyPod Nano."
959. Starting spontaneous sing-alongs among the Deck Hands is hereby forbidden.
*Especially not "We Will Overcome"
*Or "Do You Hear The People Sing"

VoodooChild

966. I am not allowed to book any more "Airlocked"/"Kara Thrace and Her Special Destiny" doubleheader concerts in the hangar bay.

Demonique

970. The following phrase is hereby added to the banned list: "I want a taco. You know who can't have a taco? Starbuck. Because she's dead."
*Substituting the words "drink", "candy bar", "nap", "cigar", "pudding pop", "bowl of noodles", or "frak session" in the place of "taco" is not an acceptable workaround to this rule.

9) I am slowly learning self-discipline. It only took thirty-seven years, but it CAN BE DONE.

Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog

Why do I want to follow that with "E-I-E-I-O"?

Da questions:

1. Can you cook? Yes. Better at baking, though. And I follow recipes; I don't create dishes, mostly.

2. What was your dream growing up? To be a doctor.

3. What talent do you wish you had? The ability to write fiction. Mostly the ideas part -- I'm a decent writer, but not creative.

4. Favorite place? Oh, lots of places. If I had infinite amounts of money, it would probably be New York or San Francisco. I love living in Minneapolis. And I love traveling, too.

5. Favorite vegetable? Asparagus if you mean a healthy vegetable, potato if you mean carbohydrates masquerading as a vegetable.

6. What was the last book you read? Plan B by Steve Miller and Sharon Lee.

7. What zodiac sign are you? Libra

8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings? Pierced ears, but nothing else.

9. Worst Habit? Procrastinating. I either do something right away, or I sit on it way too long.

10. Do we know each other outside of Livejournal? Yes, though it's been too long since we've seen each other.

11. What is your favorite sport? To watch, gymnastics. To play? Um, Frisbee, I guess.

12. Do you have a Negative or Optimistic attitude? Cynically optimistic.

13. What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Talk about fanfic and vidding and parents and books and folk music.

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you? Probably the time I didn't get raped in Cardiff.

15. Tell me one weird fact about you. I used to suck my fingers (only in private!) way into adulthood and thought I'd never be able to break the habit, then one day in my thirties I realized I'd stopped doing it.

16. Do you have any pets? Two elderly cats, Gandalf and Pyewacket.

17. Do you know how to do the Macarena? No, despite a couple of efforts to teach me.

18. What time is it where you are now? Just after 5 pm; I'm taking a break before finishing work.

19. Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Neither; if they do it right, they're funny. Otherwise, they're tedious.

20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? Does being able to keep my current weight (or 15 pounds less) without having to work at it count? If not, I'd like more of a chin; it recedes too much.

21. Would you be my partner in crime or my conscience? Depends what you're planning.

22. What color eyes do you have? Hazel, tending toward green.

23. Ever been arrested? No.

24. Bottle or Draft? Hard cider, please. Or draft Guinness, if that's not available.

25. If you won $10,000 dollars today, what would you do with it? Go on a photo safari. Which is what I intend to do with the bonus money I got when my company was acquired.

26. What kind of bubble gum do you prefer to chew? Haven't chewed bubble gum in years, but Bazooka was my favorite back when.

27. What's your favorite bar to hang at? I prefer to drink at home.

28. Do you believe in ghosts? No.

29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Read. Or watch TV while doing either knitting or cross-stitch.

30. Do you swear a lot? Fuck, no.

31. Biggest pet peeve? People who won't take responsibility for their actions.

32. In one word, how would you describe yourself? Reliable.

33. In one word, how would you describe me? Exciting.

34. Will you repost this so I can fill it out and do the same for you? Sure.

Why do I want to follow that with "E-I-E-I-O"?

OMG SO DO I! I was just saying that. elynross said she wants to follow it with "and Bingo was his name-oh!"

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Do we know each other outside of Livejournal? Yes, though it's been too long since we've seen each other.

This is true.

What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Talk about fanfic and vidding and parents and books and folk music.

Yes! I no longer work for Midnight Special, but I'm still all about the folk music.

Go on a photo safari.

Oh, wow. Where?

People who won't take responsibility for their actions.

Yeah, that kind of ties in with mine - and I agree. So I kinda dislike most American citizens right now - especially the ones in government.
