Comment and I will comment back with a picture of the fictional (or possibly non-fictional) person that most reminds me of you. Then post the same in your journal.

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (You don’t have to do that last thing unless you want to. Bossy memes are the worst.)

If I don't know your requested fandom, you may well be SOL

I had something to say, but I'm buggered if I can remember what it was. If it comes to me I guess I'll edit and post it. Been playing the Tudor's game a bit today when I got home... I like it. Sometimes I miss a lot though.

It's that time of year again, yep...

Breeder's Cup - and this time Zenyata's going to run against all the boys. Hopefully she'll kick their butts (not literally, but...)

Also Carolina are playing Duke at football. Tied right now, but you know how that kind of goes.

I think this is where I'm supposed to give a big shout of:

"TAR!"

I am happily and telling everyone about the daily trivia question that [livejournal.com profile] mirrani is posting for the whole of the month of February. Knowing Mir she will give us all some really interesting questions to ponder and to answer... It's a great bit of fun, as well as being a good mind-stretching thing to do, so come on... join in. :)

The instructions and things, as well as the first question can be found here, and you can find the next great question right here.

Of course the easiest way of seeing the daily questions is to go to her journal by following the lj link right at the top of this entry. Go on... you know you want to.

Right... off to find answers...

In case you don't know what a Mad-Lib is, it's where you give a list of specified words to fill in the blanks in a story/paragraph etc, to make a funny version of the story. In response to a 'Friending Frenzy' moment last week, one of the people on the Stargate Blog Community - Todd as a matter of fact - decided it would be an amusing ice-breaker to get everyone to make a Mad-Lib out of the Summary and synopsis of the episode Common Ground. Naturally I couldn't resist. :)

If, after reading mine (and you should definitely read Todd's, and also and Teyla's, and Mirrani's - which you can find from Todd's Journal, or my flist), you too want to play (you should it's hillarious), just go to Todd's Journal entry to get the rules and the list of words you need to give to him.

Enjoy my crazy Mad-Lib for Common Ground...

Spraying to a planet by a pillow they had previously given their Bola Kai allies, the team is borrowed by Halling, who has now let go of his own Republicans of Bola Kai after being fluttered from the inner Glastonbury Tor of the Bola Kai leadership. While the rest of the team manages to test, Sheppard is taken prisoner.

Unable to pass out Sheppard on their own, the team brittly fiddle the Bola Kai’s new leader, Ladon Radim. But they have no way of knowing if Ladon is involved in the undressing. When Halling finally telephones Atlantis, however, he offers to examine Sheppard, but only if the Atlantis team sing to Ladon, who Halling intends to print Sheppard's Neosporin by allowing a captured wraith to forget on him.

Sheppard's Neosporin is slowly printed in successive video taped forgetting sessions, while Weir cleans with the decision of whether or not to meet Halling’s crystals. Meanwhile, Sheppard forms a wheel with his Truant Officer, who is also a prisoner of Halling. With a graduation unlikely, and his button running out, Sheppard forms an flat handbag to strip a test.

The hillarity continutes under the cut )

So, at the school today, the children were making 'Newspapers' using the computers. Reading the headlines of one or two of the children's news articles I read, "New Linking Book Discovered!" Odd, thought I, for children to be interested in something like Myst... so just to check I engaged in conversation about the game with a few of the boys. There followed the most enthusiastic conversation I've heard from children in a /long/ time. It seems that this particular school used Myst - Exile to encourage thinking and reasoning skills, as well as Language skills in the children.

Having told them about Myst V, the boys were all about finding End of Ages so they could play that too. It was a very pleasant surprise.

Doing this and I suddenly had a strange idea - what if you used this method to generate the plot of a story - could produce some 'interesting' reults. Anyway, here it is, under the cut... 




I personally think some of those are obvious, and - being on my playlist - some are rather obsure. I missed out the instrumental stuff that came up of course... about 8 tracks in 25, which wasn't too bad. Just because I'm perverse, and I'm interested to see how it would work out, I might do one with the /last/ line of each track. Might be harder for people to guess too. Watch this space.
