( End of year meme )

minervas_eule chose these icons for me to talk about. Here is the meme:

- Reply to this post with the word ICONS! and I will pick six of your icons
- Make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose
- Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts
- This will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.

I love the text on this one. 'Compact and Portable Giant' is such an awesome way to describe Judi - she is such a powerhouse of acting, and energy, and awesome, all in this very convenient compact and portable size :D (she really is absolutely tiny, which you can see in scenes like the one in 'Mrs Henderson Presents' when Bob Hoskins puts her on top of a cupboard omg, but which isn't especially obvious when she's filling up scenes with her commanding presence).

I love Petunia - dysfunctional fictional people are a favourite of mine - and this just sums her up beautifully, I think. The Other Sister, who wasn't beautiful, or magical, and who has spent her life being regretful and bitter.

Reminds me of a wonderful time in my life, and a place I long to go back to.

Endora really does look wicked in the full version of this picture. Unfortunately, shrunk to icon size, the expression was lost, so I decided to crop it in a way that showed off Agnes' fabulous legs. They seem to convey the wickedness well enough ;).

Well, sarcasm is awesome, y/y? This is LJ. We need icons like this from time to time *g*.

Because Lucius Malfoy is a sexy bastard (with the emphasis on bastard), and his long blonde hair tied back with a velvet ribbon makes me ~~horny~~ happy. I have a bit of a thing for long-haired men :D.

Wow. Memes are a useful tool of procrastination. Have one about TV shows.

Dear

velmaneuwirth,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but our romance is over. I think I realized it when I tripped on sesame seeds with George Bush and his wife and I saw you sit on my John F. Kennedy-statue. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand how awful I've felt. I'm returning the cut toenails to you, but I'll keep your photo as a memory. You should also know that I will tell the authorities about a new life as a clone.

Good luck on your short-term leave from jail,

featherxquill

The Letter meme: Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. Afterwards, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

ancientgirl gave me 'R'.

1. Rita Skeeter - bitchy, audacious, impossible. My favourite HP character and my fannish obsession.

2. Richardson, Miranda (does that count? It does if I say so, yeah?) ;) - a talented actress, a beautiful woman, eccentric and individual and blunt. Love.

3. RP - the communal writing experience. When I want to craft a scene and be in control of the situation, I write fiction. When I want to explore a character, throw her in a situation with characters written by other writers, I RP. No one who doesn't will quite understand the joy of RP. I imagine, in the 'real world', the idea of it would be enough to break most people's geek-o-meter. But I love it. So much.

4. Reading - losing myself in another world, being absorbed by letters on a page and my own imagination. It's one of the simplest pleasures out there, but also one of the best.

5. Renting movies - these days I use Quickflix, but online or off, I love browsing films and picking up random things that I'd never have thought to see at the cinema.

6. Rain - Especially storms. And especially when I don't have to go anywhere in them. I love hearing the patter against the tin roof of our carport, I love watching it fall in the pool. I love that cozy feeling of being inside when it is wet and cold outside. I love the smell of summer rain on hot concrete. I love watching lightening.

7. Ripping and uploading - I love sharing my favourite things with others who also enjoy them.

8. Rice - it's so versatile, and the best carb ever. I like it both sweet and savoury. I like that it is bland and goes well with rich sauce - and dammit, I like things on a bed of rice and not all mixed together (with the exception of risotto). I like getting the bits of plain boiled rice along with the sauce on top. Yes, there is a difference. I do not know if this makes me weird.

9. Red - one of my favourite colours. Usually in darker shades, rather than postbox.

10. Really loud music - I was trying to think of a way to get music in here, and I found it. Soft music is okay, when it's the only option. But Really Loud is the best option for almost all music, and I will turn the volume up and let it carry me away whenever I have the chance.

Ganked from

mme_giry_phan. Fun. Lol it asked me a lot of questions about how much I masturbate. I can't believe how honest I was. lol.

( quiz results )

( The two words in meme are 'me' and 'me', hence why this gratuitous time-waster is going behind a cut )

Also, sign #2 you're far too obsessed with Rita Skeeter: you don't like tequila, but you buy a tequila based cocktail simply because it is called a 'Rose Rita'. No, really. Thankfully, said cocktail is good. And you also win $18 on pokies a little later, which pays for it :D.

Also?

Dear Customers,

We close at 4:30pm on Sunday. That means I am rostered until 5. When you don't LEAVE until 5:15pm, do you even consider the fact that I want to go home? Why must you skank in the exit doors after close? Why do your children need toys 2 weeks after Christmas? What is with your overwhelming need to consume?

No love,

Me.

That is all.

Current Mood: lazy
Current Music: Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale

Gacked from virtually everyone:

Make a list of all the characters in your icons. (Although you may have more than one icon of a single character, they only go on the list once.) Alphabetize it. Take the first two people on the list; that's your first pairing. Second two people; second pairing. Etc.

Some of these are crack pairings of doom, and some are matches made in heaven. Some are downright wrong.
