Blah blah blah, lemming.

( Who comments the most on this journal? )

...by way of a Marry, Shag, Snog, Cliff meme. =P

Comment to this post and receive 4 options (actors/singers/so on, so forth). You must then decide which of the 4 options you would: Shag, Snog, Marry and Throw off a cliff.

snogged gave me Josh Radnor, Nathan Fillion, John Krasinski, and Kevin McHale.

I have yet to do any of my homework from this weekend. I should probably get on that, especially studying for my film midterm. Eep!

You guys remember that video game Lemmings, with the little green-haired dudes that you had to get into their hole by making them dig holes or build stairs or otherwise not walk blindly off cliffs?

As of right now, I am one of those green-haired dudes, blindly following whoever first posted this meme. Hopefully one of us doesn't get bored and make the rest of us supernova. (Also, hopefully I don't get 10 "Ted Mosby"s.)

the I AM meme


ANYWAY. Since my list worked out so well for me last week, I thought I'd make another one for this week, just to help myself keep on track. But I'll be on fall break by Thursday at 4 pm, so yaaaay! And I'll be going home AND meeting darlingchaos on Friday afternoon... EXTREME YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! ^_^ ^_^

[x] Write lit midterm -- 4 questions, 1.5 pages each
[x] Watch 1 film (Cold Mountain, Fargo, Truman Show, Undercover Brother)
[x] Write 1 film critique (Psycho, Cold Mountain, Fargo, Truman Show, Undercover Brother) -- due Wednesday, 6 pm!
[x] Study for media law exam
[x] Law exam Thursday!

That's actually a pretty short list. But each item is pretty time-consuming and stressful, especially seeing as most of it has to be done by Wednesday. Anyway, watch this space to see the items on my to-do list disappear. It's an interactive blog entry. *unenthused* Yaaaaaay.

Exciting things, just to end on a positive note: New HIMYM tonight! New Glee Wednesday! And I'm really, really, really, really excited for the weekend!!!!!!! I get to go home AND meet Lark!! Wooooooo!

Number 83 on Phoenix's Top Ways to Procrastinate: a meme!

From vimtastic:

Ask me a fandom, and I will tell you:

+ OTP
+ Runner-up
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't

You can see most of my fandoms on my profile or in my tagging system. And BREAK!


This weekend has been supremely unproductive, as per uz. I've at least managed to get some of my homework done tonight, though I'm sure I'll be up for a little while getting the rest of my readings done. Not to mention my poem, poem analyses, and the analytical paper I need to write for my law class. One thing I managed this weekend: going to Steak & Shake for the first time EVER. At 1 AM. Delish!! (I want another milkshake now.)

Anyway, my sleep schedule is kind of screwed up, especially since I was up until 6 am the night before last (thank you, FBHIMYMRPG. Yes, I broke out the full acronym, bitches). My goal before going to sleep: reading and commenting on 5 classmates' poems, at least starting on my own, and reading some Thorpe Moeckel and some of Forster's Passage to India. Why do I always have so much dang HOMEWORK to do?!

One plus about tomorrow: new HIMYM tomorrow night!! (Which reminds me, STILL have not gotten to my rewatch of last week. I think this is a new record!) Plus, new Castle, new Glee, new Office, new Dollhouse, plus Project Runway and Top Chef... God, I love having new TV to watch!!

Because I'm facing a plot bunny shortage and am really bored...

The "You Should Write..." Meme!
my thread here

Yeah, yeah. Real post later. Sigh.

I'll make a real post soon (because, dude! It's been way too long since I posted about anything!). But for now, a meme! Related to icons! Yay!

1. Reply to this post with 'Icons!', and I will pick five 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 - allegedly - create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

idioticonion gave me these to talk about:

( Who wants to hear me ramble about my icons?! )

I think months of sleep deprivation and RP drama are finally catching up to me today. My heart just feels really heavy. And even my fluff icon isn't helping.

So let's try memes!

Stolen from otempora42:

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you.
Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

I got Victor, Pushing Daisies, Ted, Pixar, and awesome crack fic.

( What's that left hand? Right hand sucks? WORD. )

I had my last final at 8 AM yesterday (yes, Saturday), so now I'm officially a junior! Also known as, halfway done with college.

( Sophomore year redux... )

The next few days are going to be an explosion of checkouts and other assorted paperwork-y jobs. Though I'm also hoping to get some more writing done (specifically Barely Coping, those of you waiting on an update) and finally get around to watching the third season of Veronica Mars! (I'm already up to episode 6. I forgot how much I loved this show. *hugs VM*)

But in the meantime, I need something fun to do. So I'm taking this meme I stole from otempora42! GET EXCITED!!!

Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I'm familiar with, and I'll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.

(FYI, roland44 has already prompted me with Ted and Ned. So that will be the first one I tackle.)

Because everyone's doing it, and I am nothing if not a lemming. =) (And at some point, I do plan to answer the meme for all y'all.)

Meme snagged from... everyone:

Basically, leave a comment telling me what your favorite fan fic (include ALL your favs if you want or just pick one) that I have written is/are and why. Then post this at your journal (if you write fan fic), so I can tell you about my favorite of yours.

Here be's my archive: http://da-phoenix13.livejournal.com/20131.html
And for added fun, the zombie!AU archive: http://da-phoenix13.livejournal.com/37029.html

Have at it. =D

Finals are next week, KILL ME NOW. I have a feeling I'll have to take a hiatus (a REAL one this time, not one where I constantly lurk after leaving for 48 hours) from the FBHIMYMRPG, starting on Tuesday and possibly going all the way into the following Sunday. Please don't hate me for wanting to do well in school, everyone. =( I at least promise to give an explanation for where Ted's going this time!

Off to finally watch Dollhouse now. GAH EXCITED!!!

Don't worry, I'm still working. But everyone's doing this and I didn't feel like pondering my own consciousness any longer, so I took a slight break to do this.

( The 20 Questions Meme Of Doom!!! )

I made a new quotes meme! Go me!!

( Who else is super bored right now? )

First up, stolen from a lot of people: the marry-shag-cliff meme!

idioticonion gave me the following choices:

Bret from Flight of the Conchords
Ned from Pushing Daisies
Billy/Dr. Horrible

( My answers! )

And this one from rps_lizardspock:

( Guess the movie quote! )

I saw I Love You, Man today, and it was hilarious! I love Jason Segel so friggin' much. And Paul Rudd's character was so sweet. It was weird though, because it was the first time I've ever seen a movie by myself... kind of awkward going into the theater alone. It was completely empty, too. Kind of an odd experience.

Because I'm bored, and this looked cool.

But I am now!

Meme snagged from otempora42 and idioticonion:

Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you something about the story that didn't make it onto the page.

Archive's here. Not tons to choose from, but whatever.


Ooh, exciting news: I went to Target today and got a bunch of new DVDs, including Shaun of the Dead! So now I'll finally be able to actually write some good zombie fic and have some clue of what I'm talking about! Huzzah!!

And, you know. Simon Pegg. =)

I also got The Truman Show, another movie I've written fic based off of but still haven't seen. Man, I'm getting good at that whole making-stuff-up thing.

Hey you guys. Guess who's procrastinating again?! (Hint: it's me.)

So I really don't feel like writing my script today, or my grammar essay, or reading any of the crap I need to get read, or doing anything else, for that matter. (Somehow I think I ended up as the only writer in my film club, so I'm feeling definite pressure to come up with something for that as well.) So I'm gon' do a meme!

Stolen from roland44 and otempora42:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, IPod, etc.)
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For the first question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button twice.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...just type it in.


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



( Band name. BAND NAME. Band name... band name? )

***EDIT!!***
I redid this meme because the results were so terrible, and put them in a comment. This was one time that the sequel was better than the original. =D

I almost never do memes, but I'm kind of interested to see what I get back with this one.

Stolen from lukecanwaltz88:

THE CHARACTER MEME!

Everyone has a character they feel connected to, whether it be in a book, movie, show or video game. But how do others perceive you? Have your f-list tell you a character they see you as, and maybe even explain why.

Let me hear it! =)
