Meme snagged from wilyone_24

Post the first line of your 25 last fics. Try to identify a pattern.
I modified the meme slightly since I was under the impression I hadn't written much this year, and just did the 1st line of fics from 2008.( Read more... )

And just to kick my muse (I hope)- The first 2 people to ask get a continuation (drabble) of one of these fics!

Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter. Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

1. Take a picture of your bag.
2. Now dump everything out and neatly adjust them, and take a picture (no matter how embarrassing).
3. Talk about the items inside. Detail.
4. Blah blah tag blah blah.

Totally messy and embarassing stuff ahead...( Read more... )

I tag anyone who wants to do this!

Stolen from the brilliant evilmaniclaugh (you should see the answers to hers!) and the lovely ladytalon1.

I know my track record with answering these memes is terrible. But because I'm trying to lure my muse back to finish my WIPs; I promise to try really hard with this one :) All my fics are listed under the various buttons at the side of my page *begs*

Ask me a question about one of my fanfictions. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Ask about major upcoming plot points if you want to. Whatever you ask, I have to answer truthfully.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four/five of your userpics.
2. Make a post 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.

These are the icons chosen for me by noandwhere. A hard task because I have many, many Jayne and/or AB character icons...( Read more... )

It's lunch time and I came back early to write some of my story, but instead I'm doing memes!

Snagged from maureen. Here's a list of all 80 films that have won the Oscar for Best Picture. Bold the ones you've seen.

I've got to tell you - I may have seen these but it doesn't mean I liked them all :D I've seen 67 out of 80 - I think this is sad...

I wasn't going to do this because it shows how aged I am *leans on cane*. But then I thought - who am I kidding? I'm still the same age mentally now as I was then :) Anyway here's that 80s nostalgia meme courtesy of bugchiclv and kingzgurl to name a couple... I totally miss some of the references though.

I really shouldn't do these - it shows how much of a life I don't have :)

Really I do other things - really *nods*...

at noandwhere's journal, here! Come join in the fun!!!

I'm pretty sure I was tagged by the telekenetic ladytalon1 :D

The rules are easy, just post 6 things that recently made you happy!

Then tag 6 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in awhile.

I won't really force anyone - if you want to do it - please do!!! Anyway here's my list...


1. Watching the little guy participating in the surf carnival today. He's so cute when he's determined.

2. Losing another 500grams - I've lost 13.5 kilos (29.7 lbs) in total so far and am soooo happy.

3. I'm 3 weeks into my new eyes and am seeing so well it's amazing.

4. Seeing my little nephew smiling his gummy smile at me

5. Having my flist around to brighten up my day *hugs you all*

6. Slightly catching up a work - the pile is a lot smaller this week! *dances*

I've been tagged at least 3 times and I keep forgetting to post...

Remember your first LJ? The free one with only six icons? In this meme, you have to choose and post the six icons you would keep if you had no choice but go back to the six limit. They don't have to be in your list of icons you're using right now, but you have to explain why you chose those specific six. Next, you have to tag six people to do the same.

I won't tag anyone cause I think everyone on my flist has done this. If not - I'd love to see your icons! *suggestive wink*

First can I say - It's too hard!!! *whimper* I complain because my 110 icons are not enough. There's hundreds (a possible exageration) of Jaylee ones alone, then there's all my Arms! ones. If I only had space for six I'd probably change them every day - but here is today's choice...

I replied to cheshire_monkey and xx_squish_xx, so now I have to post this in my journal!

I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don't know what that gift will be yet, but you will receive it within 365 days. The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar agreement on your blog.

The "gift" you send doesn't have to be handmade. It can writing, art or whatever

I got tagged by artemis_prime for this...

Sometimes it's ok to pimp yourself out. Post a list of the top five favorite fics 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. Here's some of my favourites...

Over my first year on LJ I've gained lots of new friends...

Gakked from itinerant_vae. I asked a totally lame question and you can too!! Also don't bother reposting if you don't wanna...

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.
