Jade and I finished (on time, even!) our manifesto for the Lex/Lana ship, and it's now posted at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
ship_manifesto. Direct link is here if you're interested in taking a peek. If you're a L/L fan, why wouldn't you? And if you're not, aren't you curious as to why we'd ship that ship of all things? <g>
I've been playing Fable on my Xbox. It was slow going at first, but now I'm really into it. I'm so hot! (Even if, apparently, mute.) So the draw of the game is that there are supposedly a ton of different roads you can take your character down, depending on what you want your fate to be. So far my bar is leaning toward evil, because I've been making decisions based on how I think Draco would make them. :)) There's even a section in your personality profile on sexuality (so far for me, it's on "unknown"). There's this stat, "number of people you've had sex with" -- so far, it's at 0. My dude's a hot warrior virgin. I've been trying to get him laid, but either a) the girl wants a wedding ring; or b) she's like, "Let's go to the inn," only I can't find the bloody inn. I swear, I have such a guy mentality when I'm playing (i.e., "ANY GIRL WILL DO!"). I'm about to let him try and woo one of the guys who keep giving him the heart. Maybe they'll put out. You can also buy houses and stuff, while going on quests and what not. It's like World of Warcraft meets The Sims. :))
So I have this weakness for pie. And everyone knows that Marie Callender's has the absolute BEST pie crust. It's too bad (or really good, I suppose) that there's not a MC near me. Anyway, so I was going to make pecan pie the other day (hey![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
significantowl, how big is the can of condensed milk supposed to be?), and when I went to the frozen foods section, I saw that MC has finally come out with their own frozen pie shells! Squeee! And they're the yum. Not quite as good as the kind they serve in their restaurants, but I wouldn't expect or want them to be, really (surely freshness should count for something). And it's still yummier than the other pie shells available. <333 Ooh, so okay, other than their fresh fruit pies, my absolute favorite MC pie is banana cream ... and here is (supposedly) a copycat recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/89973. I am so ridiculously excited.
You're a Slytherpuff!: This is a rare combination but those that are true Slytherpuffs are not people you want to make your enemy. You take loyalty very seriously and if someone gives you their word you expect them to keep it. You either project a cold exterior and have a heart of gold inside or you seem all cuddly and nice on the outside and you are ruthless on the inside. People frequently underestimate you but this usually suits your purpose. Whoever has your loyalty is a very lucky person because you will fight tooth and nail to protect them. You have a protective streak and you like to champion the underdog. In life, experience has taught you that it's better not to be too idealistic or expect to much of other people. Still, deep inside you, you still have hope that everything will always turn out for the best. Your weakness is that sometimes you trust blindly, follow without question and this can lead you into trouble. With the loyalty of a Hufflepuff and the ruthlessness of a Slytherin you are a formidable person!

This lame little quiz actually has me pegged pretty well.

Date: 2005-02-08 11:37 am (UTC)Fable definitely sounds like a cool game, but I'm waiting to buy Mario Kart Double Dash myself...I know, childish, but I've had an obsession with Mario games since I was a little kid playing on the first Nintedo...the original Super Mario Bros. Anyways, I think I'll have to try that game out sometime...when I get an Xbox =)

Date: 2005-02-08 09:24 pm (UTC)You're a Gryffinclaw!: You are a determined and
intelligent person who is used to getting your
own way all the time. You are very passionate
about your beliefs and will defend them until
your last breath. Often Griffenclaws work as
lawyers or activists because they have feel so
strongly about a certain subject. You feel that
knowledge is to be used in a practical way and
you often have a very low tolerance for people
you consider of low intelligence. Although you
aren't a social butterfly, you don't have
trouble making fiends, people are usually drawn
to you. Your weakness is that sometimes you can
be insensitive, you're too busy being witty
that you don't realize that you're hurting
peoples' feelings, often your friends. With the
wit of a Ravenclaw and the passion of a
Gryffindor you can face all your battles in
life head on!

I'm a Gryffinclaw
Date: 2005-02-09 12:41 pm (UTC)Seems like I'm exactly the opposite of you: a Gryffinclaw ... although I'm not shure about the hurting people thing .. I'm generally considered to be nice and understanding, compassionate even - well, sometimes my honesty makes me too direct, that's true, but only when they ask and really WANT to know ...
Overall, quite amazing, how true the characterization is ...
