The Adventures, Mishaps and Musings of Me

One of my "New Academic Year Resolutions" was to religiously attend all of my Italian lectures.  However, evil forces were at work to make this resolution as hard to keep as possible.  Evil forces here meaning the Time Tabling department.  My two Italian lectures are scheduled, one as the fourth and last lecture on Tuesday at 6pm, the other at 8:45am on a Thursday with three lectures to follow it.  Horrorific.  Honestly, how could anyone manage the motivation to attend those?? 

End of self justfication.

YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST. I want to know 28 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never really clicked, or if we already know everything about each other. You are obviously on my f-list, so let me know with whom I'm friends with!

Thus, it's the perfect time to go onto the internet and do a meme!

Association Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given. 

Compliments from ceilidh_ann 

 
( My Five Things are as follows... )

* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favourite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Oh, dear.  The nearest book to me is my law text book.

"Legal action is not meant solely for the protection of rights."

That is probably one of the shortest and least dull sentances in that book.

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...

OK, here we go!

( Follow the Cut to Juicy Meme-ness... )

Today's topic of insight, analysis and fierce debate is... underwear.  Blame ashdinosaur.  Blame memes.  Blame Sunday evening boredom.

So, to underwear.  Or more specifically "favourite underwear".  Hmmmm... this topic requires research!  Please bear with me momentarily as I have a brief rumage through my underwear drawer.

*rumage, rumage, rumage*

OK, the rumage was inconclusive.  I'll try having a rifle through my underwear drawer instead.

*rifle, rifle, rifle*

Nope, still inconclusive.  The truth is I don't have a "favourite" pair of underwear (on that note why do we describe it as a "pair" of underwear when it is only one, inseprable thing?) at all and this is mainly due to the very low differentiation of my underwear:  It's either black or it's white.  End of.  (Why do I feel describing your underwear is something on the lists of "dont's" in internet safety guides?  Stay back perverts!)  I'm not in the habit of parading my underpants to the general public so why should I bother purchasing "designer" underwear (if such a thing exists and I'm sure it does - Heaven forbid, the idea of a brandless item of clothing!).  Underwear is a purely functional thing to me, if I need some I just scoop up a "pack of six" from Tescos and I'm done.

And no, a leopard skin thong has never been tempting.

That all said, I can hardly dive out of what is essentially a simple question that the binding power of the meme demands I answer:  What is my favourite pair of underwear?  Or, in my case, do I prefer my black pairs or do I prefer my white pairs?

Black, most definately :P

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

Meme time!  Sponsered by ceilidh_ann

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

I made a new video!

No, don't get your hopes up - it's a blog.  Not even a blog parody, an actual video were I sit and talk to indulge in the You Tube "State Five Interesting Facts About Yourself and Tag 5 Other Users to do the Same" fad.  But, a vid is a vid and I'm still pimping it on my LJ for tradition's sake.

Check it out here:  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=05FLi6pi0e4

PIMP!

This meme was snaggled from  t3h_w0lfy and as she put it "long meme is looooooooooooooooooooooong".  Note down the first 12 characters that come into your head and the complete the following cracky fandom questionnaire involving said characters interactions.

1.  James Bond (James Bond)
2.  Le Chiffre (James Bond - Casino Royale)
3.  Rufus ShinRa (FFVII)
4.  Hojo (FVII)
5.  Hamlet (Hamlet)
6.  Lady Macbeth (Macbeth)
7.  Vincent Valentine (FFVII)
8.  Lucrecia (FFVII)
9.  Bernard Black (Black Books)
10.  Tony Montana (Scarface)
11.  Begbie (Trainspotting)
12.  Sickboy (Trainspotting)

I may have to do this meme again one day, but with different characters it is so entertaining! XP

Reposting this meme from

misstifa's journal - basically it's a little questionnaire thingjybob that saves people having to covertly stalk their friends list to find out all their weird habits :P

 

Enjoy, procrastinate and repost to get to stalk know your own friends list a little better ^^

When you've got many pressing duties to attend to, this is the sign that it's time to do some internet memes!  First up, one that I've seen on a fair few journals and who am I to say no to a fad?



And now for something completely different anyone who gets that reference can announce themsleves as God a silly, music meme, that I'm hoping will not produce a too whiny, emo result.

Comment and I will:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.

Now I shall go off and do something pointful with my time... like revision... or website construction... or post another entry because many amusing things happened to me yesterday...

O.K it's meme time people!  Post a comment and I'll tell ya three things that I like about you!  I.e.  Free ego boost here people!  Roll up!  Roll up!  Then you can go and do the same on your journal - let's spread the love in a non hippies with marijuana sorta way!

On another note, after watching that sim vid with an audience, I've now revised my first opinion of it being crap to really quite an awesome vid :p  

Lastly, (you may or may not have noticed) I've changed my journal background from tiki to khaki green.  What's the verdict?

Oh, yeah, and there's a bug in my website when it comes to downloading sims... need to sort that out.  Plus update it.  Methinks this Sunday is going to be spent struggling with technology and recovering from too much 18th birthday champagne...
