just ... stuff
Jan. 27th, 2005 02:26 pmThe last of my computer parts arrived today. I think I am going to try and leave early so I can go home and put it together. Squeeee! Now that
akscully has her copy of WoW, we might even begin to play it!! And if Jade doesn't have hers yet, well, that's okay. We'll just level up without her. Seriously though -- if anyone else out there is playing WoW or is interested in playing WoW, and might consider forming a guild with us, let me know.
Happy birthday,
nmalfoy! Hope your day is filled with guns. And handcuffs. :D
For those of you who are missing Sark as much as I am ... or were at least amused by the idea of Marshall having breakfast with him just to see a familiar face, read this ficlet. I <3 it, and Jade, for pointing me there.
You are being asked to join an expedition into space to help colonize a distant planet. This is very cool, but you'll have to survive the trip over -- which they say will take a year or possibly longer. As you can imagine, space is tight and resources are slim, so you'll be limited as to what you can bring.
You can also bring 10 books. Which do you bring with you?
1. Ready, Okay! by Adam Cadre
2. Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding
3. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
4. Beloved by Toni Morrison
5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
6. Dancing in My Nuddy Pants by Louise Rennison
7. The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
8. Princess in Love by Meg Cabot
9. Dracula by Bram Stoker
10. Paradise by Judith McNaught
** I wish my choices were more cerebral, but alas, I know myself and I can only imagine being able to read these over and over again during the course of a year.
You are allowed to bring 9 DVDs with you. Which are you taking?
1. Billy Elliot
2. Anne of Green Gables/Avonlea
3. Band of Brothers
4. Alias S2
5. Emma
6. Empire of the Sun
7. Angel S3
8. Fight Club
9. Buffy S5
Music is, of course, a must. What will you bring to groove to?
1. Loreena McKennitt, The Visit
2. Green Day, American Idiot
3. Legends of the Fall, soundtrack score
4. Linkin Park, Live in Texas
5. No Doubt, The Singles
6. Les Miserables, 10th Anniversary
7. Tara MacLean, Silence
8. Evanescence, Fallen
** Actually, I'd probably bring a bunch of mixes, but for the fun of the meme I tried to choose actual albums.
You know that pretty soon, you'll start to miss reading fanfic if none was around. Luckily, you're able to sneak a binder that will fit 7 of your favorite stories. Which ones are you including?
1. All the Mulders by Alloway (X-Files)
2. Draco Sinister by Cassandra Claire (Harry Potter)
3. Draco Veritas by Cassandra Claire (Harry Potter)
4. Heart's Filthy Lesson, The by MustangSally & RivkaT (Buffy)
5. Mind Games by Spider (X-Files)
6. Our Winter by Jade Okelani (Harry Potter)
7. Sea of Waking Dreams by Cinnamon (Harry Potter)
To conserve space on the ship, food choices will be limited. You're allowed to pick 6 of your favorite entrees. Which do you choose?
1. blackened salmon
2. New York steak
3. steamed lobster
4. sushi assortment
5. fried chicken
6. tostada salad
Surely they wouldn't send you out to space without even a snack to munch on in between meals and staring out your window at the universe zipping by. Which 5 make the cut?
1. avocadoes
2. cannoli
3. white peaches
4. Lays potato chips (sea salt or salt & vinegar)
5. orange & cream Dreamsicles
Even though this adventure is quite exciting, you know you'll be homesick from time to time. So what 4 items will you take with you as memorabilia from your time on Earth?
1. a photo album of family/friends
2. the Curious George stuffed animal I've had since I was a baby
3. my UCLA Basketball pennant
4. a blanket my grandmother knitted
Okay, so it's going to be hard work. Doesn't mean you can't look your best, right? What 3 grooming tools are you sure to bring with you?
1. hairbrush
2. lip balm
3. razor
Because you're really sneaky, you're able to slip 2 items into your bags that aren't on the Approved list. What are they?
1. digital camera
2. laptop
** Assuming there's a power supply; if not, a pad of paper and a pen!
Finally, you're allowed to bring 1 other person with you. Assuming they agree to accompany you on this risky, challenging, and insane trip that's fraught with potential peril and discomfort, who is it going to be?
1. Christian Bale. Yeah, he doesn't get a choice. I'm going into SPACE to colonize a PLANET. I should be able to get whatever I want.

Mr. Knightly rather than Mr. D'arcy?

Thanks for the Feast!!
If you still need folks for your guild in about a week, that's when I should get my hands on a copy of WoW. I really can't wait to play, but I'd rather not play it alone.
