Stole this from [livejournal.com profile] starrylizard  a long time ago (and I feel incredibly guilty because I still haven't read her fics), but:

Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of your top five fic-favorites you've written, regardless of fandom or the reason you love them. This isn't about the BEST things you've written, but what you LOVE most. Then tag five other people to do the same.

Okay, I don't vote, but I still think this stands. Honestly, I don't get why some people are so anti-homosexuality. I say as long as it don't hurt or kill anyone, it's cool.

1. Being gay is not natural.
And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicon breasts...

2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay.
In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior.
People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Lamps are next.

4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all.
Hence why women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed.
And we can't let the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage be destroyed.

6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.
So therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our population isn't out of control, our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children.
Since, of course, straight parents only raise straight children.

8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home.
Which is exactly why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms.
Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Re-post this if you believe love makes a marriage.
Vote NO on Proposition 8

Your result for The TV Addict Test ...

THE ABOVE-AVERAGE WATCHER

TV is pretty darn sweet!

THE ABOVE-AVERAGE WATCHER

You scored 37 TV Obsession points out of 75!
You are more than an occasional watcher, but you wouldn't necessarily call yourself an addict of any sort. You likely watch great shows like House or Heroes every week, but it's really unlikely you'd ever go to a convention.
I recommend for you: The Office, Supernatural [*squee*], and Burn Notice [???]. [also, they had a picture for COUPLING. Hee!]

Take the test...


 

...well, it goes on and on, my friends.

Don't worry, I'll stop there so you won't have Lambchops and Charliehorse running through your head all day. :)

Anyway, the reason for that brief singing session, was because I've done this meme a couple of times before, but for some reason, I always go back to it when I'm tagged. It's so fun! :D

*tagged by Kayla ( [profile] popcornleader)
1. Open your music collection and set the songs to shuffle/random.
2. Take the first 30 and write one line from each.
3. As people guess the songs, strike them.
4. Tag up to five others to do this.

My mild case of CRACK for the day...

For Supernatural fans (with Lost and Buffy references!):

We all know that the show can't continue with only one brother left. Thusly, Dean's deal cannot come due (or if it does, there needs to be something that can bring him back from hell.)

Theory #1:

Dean finds immortal life through eyeliner. Trufax.




Theory #2:

Dean is saved through the power of porn. Trufax.



*C'mon. You all just know I'm right. :D*

Also, this teaches us that it never a bad thing when you watch too much TV. You'll all owe me money when Theory #1 or Theory #2 comes to pass! Heehee!

And now I have to read about mythology. Really not as fun as one would hope. :(

01. Turquoisetumult is...
02. Turquoisetumult reminds me of...

The subject title is a play off of a lyric from my first song choice where the real lyric is "I've got the sun in my eyes." Iz so clever! :D

Yes, I did this one already, but I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] popcornleaderand I'm procrastinating!:

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

(Psst. 'Cause I'm cool, you also get SPN recs or regular Youtube links to these songs...) :D

1. Butterfly Effect - Gone (Vid: angsty AU vid showing Sam's life post-Dean's death. Just guh!)
2. Smile Empty Soul - This is War (Vid: Ensemble. Heartbreaking. Made by [livejournal.com profile] mistojen)
3. Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing (Vid: Random picture of some random girl. Whatever, it has the full song.)
4. Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am (Vid: Jensen & Jared schmoop. It's just so cute. I also love how the pictures were given motion.)
5. Fightstar - To Sleep (Vid: Experimental style? Lots of beautiful voiceovers to this wonderful short instrumental piece! Gorgeous!)
6. Landon Pigg - Coffee Shop (Vid: Official music vid. Cute song.)
7. The Devlins - Waiting (Vid: Ensemble. Thought-provoking and lovely. Made by [livejournal.com profile] antigonesgift)

I love how all my songs are either incredibly depressing or incredibly chipper. I must be bi-polar. :) Also, I'm in the process of finding some of this songs myself, but I do have some others already. So ask me if you'd like any, and I'll upload it for you. In fact, the only one I don't have is the first one, which I so desparately want! lol.

Gah. I hate tagging. But okay...

List fifteen fictional characters that you would have sex with.
- Tag 5 people to do the same. =)

(For my purposes, I've included pictures - 'cause what's a meme without extra stuff . And some of them are not so much "have sex with" - as to minimize my pervertedness - but OMG, what a guy! *general flailing/squeeing.* AND they are listed in alphabetical order. ;))

Tagged by [profile] brittyone:

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick three of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

She chose these 3 icons:



1. I haven't used this one in a while (bad Maria!), but it's pretty awesome nonetheless. This lovely icon was made by autumnclarity (who no longer has an LJ, I believe) and features one of my favorite Lost characters, Desmond. If I'm not mistaken, the cap used came from the episode "Flashes Before Your Eyes." The reason I snagged this icon (besides the purty colors, of course) is due to the captioning. I have a T-shirt that features Eeyore saying "I am not amused." (Yes, the donkey from Winnie the Pooh.) And frankly, that T-shirt cracks me up every time because the poor ass (what, that's what donkeys are called!) looks so sad and cynical and I emphatize. Wanted to transfer that same mood onto LJ with this icon! :D

2. Oh, gosh. Well, these are the two stars of Supernatural, as most of you know. I'm pretty sure the scene's from the bloopers. This icon was made by [profile] lady_bluefairyand I chose it because it's just so AWW-worthy. Regardless if it's the characters or the actors, those two and their brotherly-love for each other makes me all gooey inside. Yay for character-focused shows! (Kripke - following in the footsteps of teh Joss. Bless! :D)

3. Made by [personal profile] katysam. I selected this icon because A) I love animated icons and B) the clip it's from is hilarious. Jensen Ackles (who plays the older brother on Supernatural and often contributes to the gooey feeling inside my stomach) is on this Australian talk show where he's playing a game entitled "Are You Stupider Than a Fifth-Grader," in which three wrong answers are given as choices and he has to select the one that someone previously and actually believed to be the correct answer! LOL. The questions and choices are absolutely ridiculous and combined with Jensen's utter disdain and bewilderment to them, I fell in love with the clip. When my eyes landed on this beauty with his "OMG?SRLY!?" expression, the cynicism within me got the better of me and I jumped on ganking it. Also, Jensen Ackles conversing with people with Australian accents! C'MON! :D

I just realized I ended every number with :D. I must really love my colon and Ds... lol.

Meme Day!

Mar. 4th, 2008 07:23 pm
turquoisetumult: (jackdav)
Just took a midterm, and even though, I need to study like crazy for the one I have on Thursday (and Monday) tomorrow, I really want a break right now ...

Soooo... meme time! :D Get it? "ME""ME" time? *blank stares all around whilst crickets chirp* Ah, you people! *walks away unamused*

Meme #1; ganked from  [personal profile] married_n_mich:

- December 31 -
You are fun to be with and have a good sense of humor. You are very ambitious and hate it when people try to bring you down. You are logical, social and loyal.QuizGalaxy.com
Positive Traits:
energetic, dependable, reliable, perceptive, detail-oriented
Negative Traits:
unimaginative, overly serious, oversensitive, insecurity, compulsive
'What does your Birthdate mean?' at QuizGalaxy.com


Well, that was easy. The negatives sound about right, and so do some of the positives, but in no way, am I ambitious? Seriously, aspiration and me? We're total enemies...


Meme #2; ganked from popcornleader and mistojen:

Rules:
Pick 10 people and give them the "you make my day" award. If you're picked, you are charged with picking 10 of your own. Those that have done this before (a.k.a. see Kayla and Jen) can let this one pass... :)
 


Meme #3; ganked from popcornleader and maichan808:

So this
crazy thing-a-majing creates haikus from random searches in your entries... 

I couldn't do the movie meme, because I don't have many favorite movies. TV shows, on the other hand... :)

These will probably be uber-easy, but oh well. It'll be fun for me to relive great TV moments. (By the way, choosing the quotes to actually put down in my entry was absolute torture because I love them ALL!)

Ganked from [profile] super_kc

1. Pick 15 of your favorite TV shows.
2. Go to IMDb.com (or another reliable source - like wikiquote.org!!!!) and find a quote from each show.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the TV show.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

...trying to let it all go... )

Speaking of Youtube, I found this as a comment on one my vids ("Gangstas Paradise").

Youtube = Ignorant Users )

Dear Supernatural 3x10,

I promise I will download and watch you tomorrow. I couldn't make our meeting tonight due to conflicting schedules. See, Lost was moved to your timespot, and well, since it's a show both my brother and I watch, I kind of had to watch it with him. You should understand. You know, your show being about brotherly love and all that.

Anyway, Lost wasn't even that bad tonight. Much better than last week's. Promise to watch you soon, Dean&Sam(&Bobby).

truly,
your excited viewer,
Maria
I did this meme once before, but there were tons of songs that still went un-named. Hoping I'll do better this time. A few of these songs are from the same artist (and a few are from "Les Miserables" too - just a fair warning.) :D

Meme nicked from a variety of people, including Dayln, Jen, and Kayla... ;)

Step 1:
Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2:
Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3:
Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4:
For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5:
If you like the game post your own.

I missed Supernatural to watch Lost, so please do not spoil me (even though I spoiled myself. lol)

Guys, I don't feel like doing my reading...
Tags:
Pretty sure I already did this once, but there's nothing like a trip down deja-vu-ville, right? Lol. Try to say THAT 10 times fast!

Snatched from [personal profile] mistojen:

Leave a comment and I will:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word 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.

In return, you must post this in your LJ.

---

... also ganked from [personal profile] mistojen:

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
7. When you're finished tag some other people to do it!

(I also included Youtube links, but it's not necessary. Additionally, some are the official vids - when I could find them - and some are fanmade vids for various shows and movies, and others are neither. :D)


Think I'm going to repeat this meme one day though, because I had some really appropriate songs, but damn luck didn't chance upon them at the right time! :)

Got a few grades for my classes:


All in all, I'm okay, I think.

Exhausted, but okay. 

I wants a cookie. Or a week-long nap...

*looks at her looong list of reading and assignments for next week, not to mention the panic over choosing classes for next semester and a thinking of a life goal*

Probably can only manage for the cookie. Damn!

The meme 

[profile] brittyone created, as answered by me in her own LJ's thread:

Five things that make me warm and fuzzy...



LOL. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a girl at all. It sucks only having two older brothers. *steals friends' sisters and thusly, those sisters clothes and things* ;)

---

Gah, I have to drop an icon to add a saddened Chuck, Pushing Daisies icon. Which will it be, which will it be???

I think I need to let go of Mason... I love the guy, but, damn, he's up there for a while. I'm gonna let him rest a little bit...

*hates having only 15 userpics* When the hell is LJ going to up the limit of userpics for plus accounts! Grr...

Ganked from Steve/[personal profile] gregor_asmadi.

Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will 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 can't believe Supernatural made me like so many classic rock songs. Damn writers ... *shakes angry fist*

ETA: Oh, man, didn't get to watch tonight's SPN episode. Even though I know the premise, I don't want anyone to spoil me until I get my hands on the download... Shush, people!
Tags:
I've seen both [personal profile] mistojen and [profile] popcornleader do this meme and it sounded fun. Sooo...

1. Open your music collection and set the songs to shuffle/random.
2. Take the first 30 and write one line from each.
3. As people guess the songs, strike them.
 

There quite a few artists/bands that are repeated. There are also quite a few songs that no one but hard-core fans will get (sorry)...

Just noticed, I didn't quite follow direction #2. I definitely included more than one line. Whoops... It's okay, I doubt it will affect people's guesses much...

Looking forward to see your answers - Good luck!



My own little twist to the game:

Anyone that gets ten (five - seems my music isn't very popular *blushes*) or more correct (without cheating, of course) can request a graphic from me (preferably icons) and I'll make it for him/her free of charge. lol. Though, they might have to wait a week or so before I can get it to them...

ETA: Hell, even if don't even attempt to answer, you can request an icon of me. I'm feeling generous ... and procrastinating-like (school just started). ;)

(What, I need to get back into the swing of things. What can be better than motivation from others... ;))

We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious.

Not in a bad way, but in a 'Wow! I wish I had that person's hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever.'

Yanked  from [livejournal.com profile] ageless_aislynn.

Seven songs I'm into right now, in no particular order.

I provided YouTube links to the songs just because I can... :D Some of the links are fanmade vids, but oh well...

1. Lemon - Stay With Me
2. Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)
3. Ennio Morricone - Love Theme [from Cinema Paradiso]
4. Tara Maclean - Holy Tears
5. Antonio Banderas - Morena De Mi Corazon
6. Joseph Arthur - In the Sun
7. 30 Seconds to Mars - A Beautiful Lie

--

Yeah, I get into a lot songs through fandom vids. And what?!

And about 5, I don't know Spanish but that song is just freaking awesome. I loved it the day my brother made me listen to it on his old laptop that he brought home from college!
Made [profile] ageless_aislynn tag me so I would finally have an excuse to do this since [profile] brittyonetagged me a month ago. ;)

Here are the rules:
• Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
• At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I can't imagine ever imagine living in the suburbs or countryside. I need to be connected to the outside world, especially since I can't drive. I need to have buses and trains and the tip of my fingers.

2. I'm 18 years old and I can't swallow pills. With the small exception of Tylenol. Even still, I have to really concentrate when I have to choke that stuff down.

3. I can't stand horror movies. It can be the dumbest horror movie out there and I will still have trouble sleeping that night. That's how much of a scaredy-cat I am! :)

4. I have an unhealthy obsession with British accents (along with Irish and Australian). I either find them incredibly sexy or just plain cute and funny. Hell, I think the gecko from those Geico commercials is the most amazing thing since sliced bread...

5. I love stuffed animals. But I cannot for the life of me explain why. Dammit, they're just so huggable!

6. I get upset when people tell me they think I'm younger than I really am. Not that I'm in any rush to hit a mid-life crisis or anything, but I'm always afraid that people won't take me seriously when I'm a little older and let's say, looking for a job. Who the hell would employ a girl that looks 14?

7. I don't think I've ever had a headache in my entire life. *knocks on wood* Let's hope I never do... ;)

8. I live a dichotomy between feeling like a really childish girl and an elderly, bitter woman. I will laugh at immature things, I will neglect my duties, and do silly things. But at the same time, I've never drunk alcohol, smoked anything, and do anything that's out of line. I hardly ever go out and I already have a fear of dying alone. :D This creates a big problem, considering I don't really know where I fit in. But I don't like to think about it too much. Kind of hurts my brain...

*Not tagging anyone since I don't know who's already done this meme. If you would to do it, let me know and you shall be tagged. ;)
