Meme Time!

The WIPs meme, to be exact. :D It's been all over my flist today and looks like fun. Plus, I haven't done one in ages, so I'm due for a meme, yes? *nods*

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence.

The sentences be here, yes, they do! )

Being a Good Little Lemming...

Time for meme-age! Gakked from all the heck over my flist, lol, I proudly present:




What Your Cute Monster Says About You



You are a well balanced person. You have all aspects of your life happily in order.

Whenever you have a choice in life, you try to choose the middle path.



You inner demon is melancholy. You can be a bit moody at times.

People think you're cute because you are easy going. Your live and let live attitude is charming.

Meme: Interactive Johari Window

Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] karri_kln1671:

"The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up."

Now go check it out--you can contribute anonymously if you'd like and even create your own to post for your friends. Go on, you know you want to so make with the click-y! *vbg*

The Drabble Meme

Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] kriadydragon, [livejournal.com profile] wildcat88, [livejournal.com profile] karri_kln1671.


The first 5 people to comment on this post get to request a drabble of their choosing from me. In return, they HAVE to post this in their journal. The rule is, don't ask unless you plan to pass it on! I reserve the right to request a different prompt, but name your fandom (or don't) and a phrase, situation, title...


Note: If anyone who has already posted this would like to make a request, that's cool with me. :)

Icon Meme

Yes, I should be writing or at least posting an update for [livejournal.com profile] ficfrenzy. So of course, I am doing memes instead. *grins*

This one was gakked from [livejournal.com profile] karri_kln1671 and [livejournal.com profile] padawan_aneiki and lots of other people on my f-list.

Comment here and I will reply to you and tell you what icon of yours I associate with you. Once I reply, please repost this in your own journal, because I want to know what icon you associate with me.

Damn. Now I guess I really do have to either go write some more or post a waaaaaay overdue update. *le sigh*

The Random iPod Shuffle Meme

Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] angeloftheruse and [livejournal.com profile] karri_kln1671. I think I've done this one before, but I've added at least another 2k songs since then so I thought I'd give it another go. :)

First, ze rulez for anyone who might want to play:

Get your ipod or media-player of choice, select your whole music collection, set the thing to shuffle (i.e., randomized playback), then post the first ten songs that come out. No cheating, no matter how stupid it makes you feel!

My Ten Songs:
1) The End Has Only Begun - Lifehouse
2) Lost Inside of You - Barbara Streisand & Kris Kristofferson
3) Here's to You - Rascal Flatts
4) Hung Up - Madonna
5) In the Rain - Dramatics
6) O What a Thrill - The Mavericks
7) Believe In You (Radio Mix) - Amanda Marshall
8) Let's Talk About Love - Celine Dion
9) Voice Mail #2 - Original Broadway Cast of 'Rent'
10) Reelin' In the Years - Steely Dan

The "Meeep! I've Been Tagged!" Meme

Tagged by [livejournal.com profile] wildcat88...

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it."


1) I'm a total absolutely hopeless Diet Coke addict. I can drink other diet colas, but give me a choice and Diet Coke is my drink.

2) I'm also a completely hopeless night owl. If I try to go to sleep before 1am, I'll be awake within an hour and up for the rest of the night.

3) I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters, all of whom are now married. Holiday gatherings with only my immediate family can have up to 31 people and tend to be a bit...noisy. *g*

4) In two months, my hubby and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary.

5) I have never, ever been stung by a bee, wasp, or hornet and am deathly afraid of them.

6) When I was a kid, our family had a retired police dog for a pet, a German Shepard named Satan.

7) I skipped kindergarten and went straight into first grade when I started school.

Tagging [livejournal.com profile] alasse_fae, [livejournal.com profile] theyllek, [livejournal.com profile] angeloftheruse, [livejournal.com profile] belisse, [livejournal.com profile] lostieborden, [livejournal.com profile] tielan, and [livejournal.com profile] gumnut

And finally, a nice big :P to the maker of this meme for taking away my standard response to these things with instruction #3 up there. *points up*

PIF Meme

Got this meme from seems like half of my flist, most of whom got it from [livejournal.com profile] sgatazmy:

PIF meme: I will send a gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment here in my LJ requesting to join this PIF (Pay-It-Forward) exchange. You will receive it within 365 days (actually probably a lot less than that). The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar agreement on your blog.

Oh! Look at the pressies! )

Finally Another Update

So, finally getting to post another update here. I've been very neglectful of LJ outside of the most recent fic posted, so I'm sorry for that. Between hubby's taking vacation days, grankidlet antics, and other family stuff, playtime has been limited. :P

And sadly, my beloved little Furball has left this world. The entire family was there with him on the final trip to the vet and stayed with him until the end. I was pretty much a wreck for days afterward. It's still hard and I still expect him to be there waiting with toy in mouth and tail wagging at the top of the stairs every time I come home. My emotions are pretty much at odds right now. Part of me wants wants to wait for a very long time before even thinking about another mutt, but the other part is screaming at me--loudly!--to find another mutt to join our family. I suppose we'll have to wait and see which part eventually wins out.

Oh, that's right, I promised an update, didn't I? So I guess this is the part where I own up to the current projects and admit how little I've been doing lately. :P Okay, so without further delay, here are the gruesome stats:

Fandom: Thoughtcrimes
Title: The Silent Twins
Words: 790 words total so far
Progress: Still working on opening scene, though it's almost finished--finally. Background has been set and the action can now begin! Er, almost. *giggles*

So hopefully updates will be more regular again, but I'm not holding my breath. :P

And finally, we leave you with a meme. This was gakked from [livejournal.com profile] karri_kln1671.

My Fantasy Archetype is... )

Have a great Sunday everyone! *hugs*

A Quick Meme Before Dinner

Still haven't finished the zine fic, but since it rained most all day I didn't have to deal with power outages today. So while I'm trying to figure out dinner, I found this and snurched from [livejournal.com profile] karri_kln1671:

The How Rare Is Your Personality meme )

Which was really kinda scarily accurate in the personality description...except for maybe that last one. *giggles*

Meme-age, a Sort of Progress Report, and Power Issues

Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] belisse: My Silver-Age SuperHero Career )


I need to apologize for not posting an update in quite awhile. I have been plugging away at the zine fic, though, despite the lack of progress reports. I'm at a little over 13000 words and almost finished--in fact, I'm on the last scene now. I'll post the final tally once it's finished--hopefully later tonight.

In other news, I might not be online until Friday night. As I'm re-reading the letter from our management company that I found on my door yesterday, I'm realizing that it's really rather vague. All it really says is that they're going to be replacing the outside breakers for the buildings, which will require shutting off the power, and that work will be done on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully, they'll be turning it back on for the evening hours tomorrow. *crosses fingers*

The Song Meme

Got this from [livejournal.com profile] alasse_fae and [livejournal.com profile] sgcgategirl. Like a hint as to my taste in music? Well, let's just say that there are only two things that you will NEVER find on my iPod: Rap/Hip-Hop and anything by The Beatles. Just about any other group, person, genre may well show up at some point. So on with the meme! )

I should have so been writing zine fic instead of this...

Letter to Cupid meme--Naughty or Nice?

Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] belisse, here's the "nice" version:

Dear Cupid,

This year, I've had my ups and downs in the love department.

We were playing spin the bottle and Gumnut tried to kiss my lips but missed and kissed me in the eye (consequently blinding me for 3 days).
The restraining order that Gategeeks put on me was upped to 500 feet.
I tried to seduce Theyllek with the whole ‘secret admirer’ bit but then lost interest.

So, as you can see, it's been a hectic year. Can you please make Meliaka fall in love with me this Valentine's day?

Sincerely,

Take this Quiz at QuizGalaxy.com
( or, take the 'adult' version at QuizUniverse.com )


Or if you prefer, the naughty version. )

4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
