My take on the Texts From Hillary meme (which is HILARIOUS):

I'd be satisfied with Delaware, Illinois, Nevada, California, Maine or Wyoming. Rhode Island would make a cool name, too. I don't think any of them really suit me, though.

I was inspired to create my own version of this meme. I hope all my other male executive assistant friends appreciate it. :)

How amazing it must have to been to have been there!

Ganked from akirashima, I present:

From montrealais:

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 2.5: Eliminate songs that use their titles AS first lines
Step 3: Star the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own.
Step 6: After a week, any songs left, I will add the next line.

Honestly, I don't know half the songs in this list, but since I just rip whatever CD I have sitting in front of me, here's a peek into the randomness that is me:

Got this from akirashima - ColorGenics, a little color test to reveal your inner thoughts.

Although not 100% (I don't think I'm quite that desperate for approval), those last two paragraphs are dead on right now:

You are constantly hoping that your good fellowship and attitude and your 'love for your fellow man (or women)' will give you peace of mind. You need people - people around you to care for you and to show you that they care. It is this hope that keeps you going, the hope that makes you the type of person that indeed you are. Your own need for approval seemingly makes you always ready to help others and in exchange you seek love, warmth and understanding. You will always listen to others and you are open to new ideas which hopefully will prove fruitful and interesting.

You are a fighter and always on the defensive. You always need to be sure that your position is safe and established. When you finally make a decision you will pursue it to the bitter end in spite of all opposition.

Being a very proud individual, you tend to hold yourself aloof pretending that you are stoical - indifferent to pain and pleasure. This is not so, for in truth you are an extremely emotional individual, one that may make a hasty decision and perhaps regret it at leisure. It is time now to break the bond of detachment and be the 'you' that you would like to be - give vent to your emotions and enjoy yourself.

You are feeling trapped by the situation as it stands at this time and what is more, you feel powerless to remedy it. You are stressful, angry and disgruntled. You feel that everything that you try to do to change the situation is thwarted and your hopes and aspirations all seem to be receding into the ever distant future. You have reached the state where you now doubt whether your dreams will ever be achieved and this is not only causing mental stress but heartache. You need to get away from it all - you need to have time to think, to recuperate, to be able to make your own decisions.

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!

I love when these things are actually acurate.

Happy Halloween, y'all.

Nothing in my costuming wardrobe sang to me today, so I didn't wear any to work. I was terribly busy, but made sure to leave on time so I could get home to put up stuff for tonight:

( Spookiness under cutCollapse )

All that work, and for what? 20 kids! That's it! I was done by 8:15. WTF? I figured because it was a Friday night we'd see more kids since they wouldn't have school tomorrow, but I guess that meant they could have more parties so there were less trick-or-treaters. It doesn't help that we're at the end of a dead end, so if no one else up towards the main road is giving out candy (and none were), no one bothers to check if anyone else was (and no one was - as far as I can tell, I was the only house giving out candy - even the ones that got all decorated were dark!). Last year we had a bunch and I almost ran out, but this year I've got many bags to take into work. Blah.

Well, at least the cats had their Halloween fun:

Finally, the "take a pic of your desktop" meme, from jayjaybear:

( Desktop hotness!Collapse )

Post yours!

Stolen from so many on my friends list:

Take a picture of yourself right now. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair... just take a picture. Post that picture with NO editing.

Ganked from drewan's LJ, where I reaffirmed what a chatty bitch I can be.

I'm surprised at who's on the list, and more surprised at who's not, or who's lower. Some of you have some work to do - chop chop!

( Who comments the most on this journal?Collapse )

Ganked from bovil:

1. Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. Then go to: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. And lastly, go to: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Then you go and make it.

Please share something you think I should do or try to do in 2008. Big or small, silly or earth-changing.

(I'll even allow anonymous comments for a while for this one.)

Oh, and apparently Prince would like to say, "11111111111111111111111111111111111111111" :)

I got tagged by rvrjoe775 for the "LJ userpics explanation" meme, so here goes:

( Click me!Collapse )

If you want to play the rules are:

Comment on this post. I will choose seven userpics from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are using them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick 7 of your userpics.
2. Make a post (including this meme info) talking about the userpics I chose.
3. Other people can then comment on your post, and then you pick 7 for them, and so on.

Having caught up on Doctor Who on TiVo, and seeing a discussion on doctorwho, I came up with my own list of the Doctors and how I see them:

1. The curmudgeonly Doctor
2. The loopy Doctor
3. The foppish Doctor
4. The wacky Doctor
5. The strident Doctor
6. The determined Doctor
7. The calculating Doctor
8. The passionate Doctor
9. The fantastic Doctor
10. The haunted Doctor

I'm still amazed at the longevity of the series, and how much I'm enjoying it. I also caught the first two episodes of Torchwood and I'm hooked on that now, too.

We *really* need a bigger TiVo. :)

So, esprix, your LiveJournal reveals...



You are... 1% unique and 7% herdlike

When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are wary of trusting strangers.

Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.

Your overall weirdness is: 41

(The average level of weirdness is: 28.
You are weirder than 82% of other LJers.)

Ironically enough, the one question I got wrong was hung vs. hanged. :O

List any interests in your profile that aren't highlighted (i.e., no one else on LiveJournal has them listed except you), then explain them.

matt_mcl: The lovely and talented montrealais, of course, known as matt_mcl at the SDMB. Why no one else would list him as an interest is beyond me, as he's quite an interesting fellow. Hee! ;)

themoviespoiler.com: Knowing the end of a film usually doesn't bother me, so I often go here to check out the storyline to see if I would like it or not. I avoid thrillers and mysteries if I really want to see them, but any movie has been out for a while and I want to know more about it, I usually hit here after I hit IMDB.

What are yours? :D

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want --good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified)about what people remember about you

Like this is a surprise...

It's inevitable that as we read each other's journals we create mental pictures of each other. Post this on your own journal to find out who your friends see when they read about your life.

Two Rules:
1) The person must be in the movies or on TV (but doesn't have to be an actor/actress). The person can be specific to a role or just the person themself.
2) You have to post a link to a picture of said person in the comments.

Saw this on a few LJs today, so I'm game:

My Johari window

For those who haven't seen it yet, you go here, pick 5-6 words from the list that you feel describe me best, and it plots out a map of sorts of my personality qualities and how they are perceived. It's interesting. :)

Besides, who knows me better than my friends, eh?

OK, definitely take this test if you like hot guys. Seriously. Who cares about the results? It's a great test. Totally. I mean it. Go. NOW.

Meanwhile, this was my result:

Ganked from javamaven1 and others:

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

(Replies screened, just so's ya know.)

Ganked from minotaurs:

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section (examples: "5 Sexiest Things About Jensen Ackles" or "Top 5 things to drink"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Then you post this offer in your own journal.

Ganked from bescincimevsim:

Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me.

It can only be one word.

No more.

Then copy & paste this in your journal so that I may leave a word about you.

(Replies will be screened for now.)

You know, for some reason, this one doesn't really seem to work quite the same:
