What is this "compromise" you speak of?

More questions! I feel loved and confused and violated all at once. So, clearly, you're all doing an excellent job. COMMENCE THE INTERROGATION!

Actually, scratch that. After all, I have it from a reliable source that if you ever find yourself in the power of someone who uses the word 'commence' in cold blood, go somewhere else very  quickly. If they say 'enter', don't stop to pack. Genre savvy, I believe they call it.

Aw, hell. Commence away. And enter, too.

THE DEDICATE A SONG MEME!
1) Name 25 of your LJ Friends.
2) Then put your music playlist on shuffle.
3) Each random song is dedicated to one of your Friends. (Ex;First song for first friend on list)
4) Ready? GO!

Another meme... would you look at that? IS ANYONE SURPRISED?

Pick a character from a fandom (preferably one I know, that would be helpful...) and comment, and I'll answer these questions:

a. My favorite thing about that character.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
f. Their ship from hell.
g. Their song.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
i. The last bad dream they had.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.


And in the more serious and depressing world of real life, it seems twitter is facilitating a real wave of support and empathy for Iranian protesters. That's... good. Really good. It's nice to when things are more than a shallow fad, y'know?

But I'm not sure I could cope with following the tweets of people knowing that if they didn't update for 24 hours they could well be dead.

...

Sorry to end on such  a downer. Is anger better? FUCK YOU AHMADINEJAD.

I STEAL MEMES!

1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions. Sure, you can cheat, but what's the fun in that?


( That took longer than I expected. Damn. )

I watched Good News Week last night (unusual, for me, but boredom can do strange things to a girl) and it was like a competition between David Campbell and Bob Brown as to who could be the more weirdly adorable. It was ridiculous. I was just sitting there thinking 'um, why are the Director of the Cabaret Festival and the Senator who just happens to lead the Greens party making flirty puppy dog eyes at everyone on national television? Did Bob Brown just sing with Kate Miller-Heidke? Did David Campbell just proposition Paul McDermott, and if so why is he now practically licking Julia Morris's neck? And once again: Bob Brown flirting with Paul McDermott. DOES NO ONE ELSE FIND THIS WEIRD?'

Actually, I was probably less disturbed by the fact that it was happening and more disturbed by the fact that it was happening on channel ten.

And then there was a newsflash about Bob Brown being possibly thrown out of the senate for bankruptcy or something, and I was all THEY SAID WHAT NOW? NO! I NEED MY GAY ENVRIONMENTAL CRUSADER ADORABLY BONKERS SENATOR! Have a sudden urge to mail him 20 bucks. It's all I can afford :(

Also, a shout out to any Americans on my flist: does it piss you off that you have to wait til 21 to be legal? I've just been to a string of 18ths and it made me ponder... that, and the fact that most of them started with something along the lines of  "I'm 18! Shots of absinthe all round!" indicates that the general starting age in Ausland, even for people like me who just don't really like alcohol, is more like 16 or 14. Or do you just not pay attention to the age limit (like us)?


Oh, and I'm fighting the desire to send a letter to the Bugle saying I want to marry John Oliver, because that would be rather embarassing all round and I'd regret it forever. But I can't help drafting the love letters in my head. *sighs*

First of all, it's been more than a week and I still can't stop humming this:



So yeah, that's my earworm. Thank you random lj prompt, you reminded me of my misery. Then again, you gave me the excellent advice "spread the suffering and inflict your earworm on your flist." So HAHAHA.

(Additional Note: I actually like this song. A lot. Just not enough to want to hear/think it 24/7)

Secondly, I just want to point out how AWESOME a certain Amanda Fucking Palmer is. She is a legendary songwriter, I saw her live and she was amazing (who else could randomly pash two guys and a girl from the audience in exchange for beer and not lose any dignity at all?) and my stupid friends who say otherwise all need to go get a life.

/rant.

Sorry. I should not post when I'm this tired.

I just wanted to ponder my own uselessness. Seriously, it's depressing. I think I need to make a move to less awesome fandoms, lower the standards a bit. Every time I go to make an icon or write something... wham. Someone has just posted something mind-bendingly brilliant and all will to continue fades to nothing.

How can I compete with revolution through comedy in Orwellian dystopias or Adrian Veidt with a purple kitten on his head? Really? Did I ever have a chance? I am so not an internet person. And I think photoshop hates me.

But the fact is, you guys have me hitched. I'm addicted. Couldn't leave if I wanted to. It's stupid... I've had this journal for like two months, but in terms of use I may as well have had it for a week. See that little mouse? The one hiding in the corner watching everything go by with big wide eyes? Wave to it, cos its me.

Meh. Maybe I'll get braver with time. After all, thanks to theblackmeat , I'm now creeping out of my mouse hole to friend some people.  :)
