Island of the Lone Sane Thought

And when you're tagged by the meme queen (the lovely gina_r_snape), you have to do everything.

1. I hate zippers on shirts. And jackets. I rarely buy any shirt, sweater, or jacket that has a zipper on it. It just frustrates me to no end to try to do a zipper up when I'm cold. I'm okay with jackets that have zipper/button combos, because once in a great while I'll do up the zipper if it's really cold out, but generally I prefer buttons, hands down. Shirts? Absolutely no zippers. I really hated that trend we had a few years ago where every sweater in middle America had to have a zipper on it.

2. If I start watching an awful movie halfway through, then it somehow seems...less horrible. Mostly because it's like a puzzle, and any movie where I have to think is worth a bit more than movies where I just watch. I often will try to guess the background of the characters and inject more pathos and drama into them than there should be.

3. I take a bubble bath every morning.

4. I eat my meals in this specific order: veggies, starches, meat. It's because of temperature issues. If I have fries and a burger, then the fries cool down faster than the burger. You see, I hate getting my tongue burnt. It is really a kind of mania at this point.

5. When I read fanfic (and regular fic), sometimes I find myself breaking off from a moment to stare off into space (away from the book/computer) and think about what my Mary Sue would be doing. Or I think about other fics I'm writing. It's a weird thing, really, but when an idea pushes into the brain, I have to stop and address it before I can continue reading.

List your idiosyncrasies if you wish.

shamelessly, from violet_quill.

( Hallowe'en costume meme...this one is a hoot. Find out what you're wearing! )

So I stole it from pen_and_umbra.

I'm going to cheat and answer it with one I already did in November of last year, with a few modifications.

Stolen from karasu_hime: Ask me six questions, anything you like. I'll answer as honestly as possible, though I might not reveal every detail.

I think I've done this before, but it's still fun.

Had this thing happen that I won't go into because it's rather boring, but I ended up chasing down someone at the show to apologize. Later I realized it was quite unnecessary. Oh well. I hope the world spins smoother because of it.

It was a good show! I was happy with it. Happy happy happy. Everything went well, had great neighbors on one side that were totally amazing. (On the right side...women who wanted to suggest things for me, which doesn't go over well. After ten years I would hope that I'd know how to display things.)

Anyway, eloisasnape inspired me to do a handwritten entry, which I worked up while I was at the show (and kept embellishing).

I'm afraid that all you can make out is "My phone broke! Wah!"

Hardly earth-shattering. But there you go.

It purports to "[visualize] interrelationships within the LiveJournal community". After examining it, I think it's a visual interpretation of LJ cliques. Not sure, though.

( Hey, here it is. )

Request a drabble.

The rules:

I can only respond to the first ten prompts.
The prompt must include Snape.
If it is something I'm not comfortable writing here on my LJ I'll put it on quirkyhpshorts.

So go ahead. Leave the prompt (anything; a phrase, a poem, a scenario) and a character/pairing (the character, or one of the characters, must be Snape) and I'll try to throw down.

I've seen the LJ Haiku generator show up on cordelia_v's journal, so here are a few from mine...

So on one of the long trips recently I thought about making a meme. Y'know, going to one of those quiz sites or meme sites and putting together one of my own. But then I thought, I don't really pay much attention to those memes, maybe no one else does either, and then I thought it would be very laborious to make a supah cool one, where I could say something about everybody, and I decided to just write it all out in my LJ, being the control freak I am, because then I could make it funnah. At least, in theory.

So without further ado, I present to you the valis--er, valismort flist as LJ Death Eaters, and our roles within said organization.

The usual disclaimer: I'm sorry if I've offended any of you inadvertantly. Let me know if I have so that I can fix it.

absurdwords: Always brings a bottle of Firewhisky to the Death Eater meetings and passes it around clandestinely, proclaiming "Just a little taste to get the party going, y'all." And has the best broom closet evah. Filled with Evil Brooms.

ac1d6urn: Our very own Chooser of Beautiful Scarves. She does all of our Evil Research, too.

aerynstales and lfire1: The Official Evil Chroniclers of Our Glorious Death Eater Troup. The prolific pair is already penning volume 423968246782735. Be careful what you say to them or you might be wearing a very heavy Mary Sue hat in volume 423968246782736 that will drag you down into the moors and drown you.
