Meme: What chair do you game from?

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

(Tagged from: 7th Cavalry Guild Forums)

computer_chair

My ancient, battered, but oh-so-comfortable computer chair. The cats used to scratch the arms when they were kittens, so the arms have huge holes in the upholstery. I threw a scrap of polar fleece over the right arm. Someday I’ll replace it.

Directly proportional

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

SlimerBack when I was in Junior High School, my favorite science teacher had this great poster up in her classroom. It read “The chances of someone being caught is directly proportional to the stupidity of their actions.” The graphic itself was a photograph of a kitten that had fallen head-first into a flowerpot.

It was so true and cute all at the same time.

Well, I am directly proving that myself today.

Thanks to the extra long heating season Michigan is experiencing, my hair is very dry. It’s beyond the point where conditioners do any good. So, I went hunting on the web and found a recipe for a homemade, conditioning hair mask using eggs, olive oil, apple-cider vinegar, and essential oils. It sounded great, it smells fantastic… I hoped it was going to give me great results.

So, I got out a small cereal bowl and whisked everything together. Then I grabbed our oldest pastry brush and trucked down to the bathroom.

I am now sitting here with cheerful, bright yellow slime — about the perfect consistency to allow me to fantasize that I’ve been slimed a la Ghostbusters — dripping in a steady stream down my face, back, and chest despite the plastic cap I’d bought for just his occasion.

Yes, I can just imagine being caught right about now. “Umm, Hello Mr. Building Super…. why yes, I had a really hot date with Slimer and he offered to help me do my hair. Want him to do yours too?” After which point I miraculously find pictures of myself on YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace looking stupid for all the world to see.

I’ll let you know how it turns out.

EDIT: It was just gross. *giggles* No real effect on my hair aside from making it smell nice for a short time. I’ll be buying a hair mask from Lush as soon as I can.

Terms of Relationships

Monday, September 8th, 2008

In light of recent events, I need to write this down. Basically, the guy I’ve been casually seeing has been getting more and more annoying. I’m on the verge of dumping him because I just can’t tolerate the crap.

So… to future guys who might read this: You want to go out with me? Here’s some concepts I think you need to understand before you get too far.

  1. I am complete. Get it through your head: I am complete. I was complete from the day I was born. I am a person, not a possession. Love does not denote possession; you do not own me.
  2. I’m looking for a guy with confidence. Pure and simple. Confidence in their sexuality, identity, and personality. Assume that if I have chosen to stay with you, be with you, that at the end of the day I will return to you.
  3. Save the grouping and raids for WoW, EQ, and other MMOs. I’m sure your friends have a LOT of things to say, but I’m looking for a guy with confidence. If you have wing-men, you better make sure I don’t find out about it. If you’re going to ask me out, do not send a friend over to test the waters.
  4. I have male friends and male relatives. I’m closer with them than with most of my female relatives. Accept it. That goes both in real life and in any virtual setting. Act aggressively towards any of them, you lose me. I’m also working on going into a field that is often male-dominated. That means I’ll likely be working with guys. Accept it. This is non-negotiable.
  5. Anti-gay, anti-lesbian, or other intolerant remarks make me extremely uncomfortable and will likely drive me away real quick. Calling anyone a “fag” or any other bigoted words will most likely ruin your chances to be with me — ever.
  6. Super-Heroes need not apply. I’m a big girl. I can solve my own problems without you. I appreciate support, but it really pisses me off when you’re trying to “save” me from bosses, coworkers, sales clerks, insects, and thunderstorms. Your princess is in another castle.
  7. I am female. I am a geek. I am a gamer. I am an anime fan. I am a computer programmer. I am a gourmet foodie. There’s a lot of other things that I am too. Don’t ignore everything else for the sake of the one or two elements you find appealing. If you can’t handle it when I begin talking tech, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
  8. I have goals and I will attain them. I will not dumb myself down for you. I will not give up my goals just to be with you.
  9. Gossip. I am no one’s entertainment. I’m a private person, so discovering that I’m the topic of gossip over a relationship I’m attempting to have with you is a huge turnoff. I don’t mind if you talk to others about the relationship, but I draw the line when your friends begin planning our wedding on the first date.
  10. I will permit my dates to decide on movies, restaurants, and other date-related activities. I’ve heard guys like that sort of thing. But please don’t attempt to make other decisions for me.

Five Favorites

*grins* Nothing like a quick Meme

Meme? Isn’t that what the road runner says?

Taken from wordsgate

Top 5 reasons I love fanfiction
1. Series don’t always have an end or end with a lot of loose ends
2. The world is just so big, you can write characters doing almost anything. (e.g. Chrono Trigger, Star Wars.)
3. Escapism within my favorite anime or manga! ^__^
4. Where else can two straight guys have hot, YAOI sex?
5. Sheer FUN

Top 5 characters you would love to have a conversation with and why?
1. Alphonse from Fullmetal Alchemist
2. Rowen from Ronin Warriors
3. Grissom from CSI
4. Batman (Bruce Wayne) from almost any of the series that has Batman in them.
5. Batman (Terri McGuiness) from Batman Beyond and JLU.

Why (for all 5): Once upon a time, I used to have frequent conversations with intellegent men. It was almost arousing being able to have heated debates about controvercial subjects and know that afterwards they wouldn’t act like I was their nemesis. I think all these guys could deliver.

Top 5 favorite characters from a book
1. Corran Horn from I, Jedi
2. Anskiere from The Cycle of Fire
3. Elrond from Lord of the Rings
4. Gandalf from Lord of the Rings

Wow, Hill. lol Okay, I’m game. ^_^

Tagged by simpletype for both of these.

Bevey, Nette, and Trelithe! I choose you!

THREE THINGS YOU WANT IN A RELATIONSHIP
1) Trust, because without if I don’t know I can trust someone I don’t know how I can be around them…
2) Loyalty
3) Supportiveness. I’ll laugh and cry with you and give you all the support I can, but I need that too…

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE (in no particular order):
1) I once stole $100 from my employer
2) I haven’t ever smoked or drank anything stronger than coffee.
3) I really don’t like roleplaying anymore

THREE PHYSICAL THINGS ABOUT THE PREFERRED SEX THAT APPEAL TO YOU:
1) Nice, strong facial features. Baby-faced guys are cute, but half the time you gotta wonder if you’re not robbing the cradle. ^^;;
2) Well-groomed. Frankly, as much as I appreciate virile guys, I don’t need to be kissing Chewbacca.
3) They gotta have a butt! None of this work the upper body and completely forget about the rear view. I wanna see something I can grab onto.

(Okay, that was WAY more honest than I needed to be! XD)

THREE OF YOUR FAVORITE HOBBIES:
1) Web Design. Nothing like melting your eyes into slag!

Ack, Hill… I don’t tend to fanticize over fictional characters. LOL XD

Guess what? Bevey, Nette, Trelithe, and Ook!

Name five fictional characters you would have sex with, then tag five people who have to do it, too. Be sure to mention who tagged you when posting it, though:

1. Magus aka Prince Janus (Chrono Trigger)
There’s just something about anti-heroes that appeals to me and Magus fits the bill. He’s a tall, dark, brooding wizard who looks like an elf (bonus!) Maybe I’ve been looking at too much Japanese fanart of him, but darnit, I find him hopelessly sexy.

2. Rowen (Ronin Warriors)
Ah, the first character I ever fanticized about having sex with back so many years ago. Frankly, it’s not often a girl can get some real, intellegent conversation and frankly Rowen could deliver. You also know that thanks to all those martial arts moves he’s gonna have a body under that armor. I’d do him in a heartbeat for old times sake.

3. Ban (Get Backers)
You gotta love a guy who can get inside your head. With his Evil Eye, Ban can make his victim either experience one minute of unspeakable horror or one minute of pure bliss. You choose. ^_~ Like Magus, he’s tall and mysterious, but he’s got his funny side too.

4. Dais or Anubis (Ronin Warriors)
The second and third characters I ever dreamed of having sex with. Anubis fits the anti-hero bill, Dais fits the mysterious. They’re both tall, dark, warriors skilled at what they do and they’re obviously intellegent. You also know they’re going to have a hot bod under that armor. I can’t really decide between the two, so they’re tied for fourth place.

5. Prince Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Yet another exiled prince. Like Magus, he’s another brooding anti-hero who’s skilled in the manipulation of fire. Even though he tends to be a bit rude, he’s also charismatic, elegant, and mysterious. And you gotta admit, any guy who can pull off a ninja act is pretty damned hot. He gets last place mainly because he’s underage. ^^;;

Ack, I’m running out of LJ friends to take this! Umm…

Taggage: destiny6336, ladypegacorn, random_ook, grobanitechick
