They Say What They Say

Well done, America. Indeed it was a very sensible decision that you made.

Meanwhile, here's a bit of a distraction for us all.

Name a fandom and I'll tell you which character I most likely:

1. bake cupcakes for:
2. lend my books to
3. put thumbtacks on the chair thereof:
4. have a crush on:
5. pack up and leave if they moved next door:
6. vote for President:
7. pick as my partner in a buddy movie:
8. pair up:
9. vote off the island and into the volcano:
10. wheedle into fixing my [whatever is currently broken around the house]

Fandoms include Sports Night, The Avengers, Captain America, Supernatural, NCIS: LA, Torchwood, The West Wing, Leverage, Buffy the vampire Slayer, Angel the Series and due South.

Prompt meme stolen from various people on my fist. Prompt me with a character and/or pairing, and I'll write a thing?

1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married
6. secretly a virgin
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition
13. apocalypse fic
14. telepathy
15. High School / College

I'll write in Sports Night, due South, Supernatural, the Avengers, West Wing or maybe you can just surprise me to see what I can come up with!

I've seen this around and thought it looked like fun.

Of the \o/

- Had dinner with Best Work Friend and A&O last night. We went to Ladro for pizza and then to the bar formerly known and Yeltza¹ for drinks. Much pizza was eaten and much wine was consumed and all in all it was a wonderful evening.

- When I got home from dinner there was a birthday card from phoebesmum waiting for me in my letter box. It has shoes on it!

- I have a three day weekend, woot!

- I also have banananana muffins baking in the oven, woot!

- My favourite artisan bakery is opening a shop in Station street. Now I don't have to schlep all the way down to Alexandra Parade for the bestest hot cross buns in the world!

- There were two cute schoolboys busking in Station street this morning. I now have the theme from 'Spiderman' as played on the trumpet and euphonium stuck in my head *g*

- I found a copy of The Cutting Edge in Cash Converters for three dollars today. Toe pick, woot!

However, of the /o\

- I was seriously hung over when I got up this morning and have been walking around in a bit of a daze all day.

- I was going to see The Blow Waves with BWF tonight, but she cancelled on me at the last minute and no one else I know is going so I ended up staying home.

- It's supposed to rain tomorrow and I have all this laundry...

- I also have a blister on my foot :~(

I shall thus leave you with some ( girly wisdom )



¹It changed it's name since I last went there, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's now called.
