December talking meme
Nov. 23rd, 2014 09:53 amOkay, I'm jumping on the bandwagon and doing this, in conjunction with the DW friending meme currently running.
December Talking Meme
Pick a date below and give me a topic, and I'll ramble on. I'm good at talking. It can be anything from fandom-related (specific characters, actors, storylines, episodes, etc.) to life-related to pizza preferences to whatever you want.
They will probably be brief, or not, depending on the subject. Also, I reserve the right to decline prompts that I don't feel equipped to meet.

Dec. 31st, 2012 11:42 amGanked from sineala because I haven't done one of these in years, mostly because it's been a long time since I wrote more than one or two things in a year.

Shamelessly stealing this from netgirl_y2k because I like her version (I've put the regular version on my Tumblr, intrigued to see how it goes) there is this meme that's going around:
Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom/pairing that I'm familiar with, and I'll tell you something about the story I'd write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write)
1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. what-if AU
6. fuck or die
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. Hogwarts
12. supernatural
13. apocalypse
14. Westeros
15. High School / College
Um, I switched out a bunch for tropes I'm more interested in, so, um, yeah.
You know my main fandoms/pairings or you can look around my site and![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
Selenay on AO3 to see what I've written in.

Excitement! And meme!
Nov. 10th, 2011 07:04 pmThere is an iPad in my house! Eeeee!
:-D
I've been very restrained and merely stroked the boxes a bit before handing them over to Mum for safe-keeping until my birthday. So. Damn. Excited!
Also, I have booked two days of unpaid vacation over Christmas. Work is encouraging us to take a day or two of unpaid time in December if we can afford it to help them meet the financial targets. Apparently it's not that we're losing money, it's that we're not making as much as the board set as our target.
Whatever.
I'm taking two unpaid days and getting ten days off thanks to the joy of statutory holiday. Woooooo! I really need that break :-)
Project Doom has been re-estimated. If we get two additional programmers and everyone sticks to their milestones (Doom is dependent on other teams finishing their bits), we project to finish in July 2013. As we're not going to get the programmers and it's unlikely that the other teams will hit their milestones, it's probably more likely to be sometime in 2014. Yay guaranteed employment for three years?
Also, there is memeage thanks tonetgirl_y2k! I got a wee bit wordy...
Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself
1. ( Being Quite Technologically Proficient )
2. ( An Inexplicable Fondness for the England Rugby Team )
3. ( Smashing Taste in Books )
4. ( Unfortunate Weather )
5. ( Doctor Who )

It appears that my ability to blog and engage on LJ (despite today's deluge) has totally vanished. To kick start it, I'm nicking an idea from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
loneraven:
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.

My flist is wonderful
Feb. 10th, 2008 04:20 pmGakked from ximeria, who always makes me smile with her funny posts and ficcy posts and Torchwoody posts.
Pick 10 people and give them the "you make my day" award. If you're picked, you are charged hopefully going to pick 10 of your own.
I'm basing mine on people who's posts I always look forward to, who entertain me and make me smile and brighten up even the worst of days. I could have extended the list to another twenty of you, but this meme is only 10 so I picked the ones who stand out at a quick glance through my f-list.

Apr. 7th, 2006 05:49 pmSheeplike, I follow the world into memery. Although in my defence I rarely do this and I actually found this one interesting :-)
Fromalphekka_alpha
Go to Wikipedia. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year). List three events that happened on your birthday. List two important birthdays and one interesting death. Post this in your journal.
Events
As a huge Doctor Who fan, that last one has always been a particular favourite :-)
Births
According to family legend (and apparently backed up with a historian's research), I am directly descended from Henry the Fowler, father of Otto although it was through one of his other sons. So this is rather a cool connection :-)
Deaths
So November 23 is a rather interesting day all around :-) Proper post to follow shortly...

Events
- 1499 - Pretender to the throne Perkin Warbeck is hanged for reportedly attempting to escape from the Tower of London. He had invaded England in 1497, claiming to be the lost son of King Edward IV of England.
- 1984 - Boston College quarterback Doug Flutie throws a game-winning 48-yard Hail Mary pass to Gerard Phelan to defeat the University of Miami Hurricanes 45-41. It is one of the most famous plays in American college football history. (Seemed appropriate to Atlantis fans...)
- 1963 - The first episode of the science fiction television series Doctor Who debuts on the BBC.
As a huge Doctor Who fan, that last one has always been a particular favourite :-)
Births
- 912 - Otto I the Great, Holy Roman Emperor (d. 973)
- Johannes Diderik van der Waals, Dutch physicist, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1923)

Deaths
- Roald Dahl, British author (b. 1916)
