Killer Meme, Episode IV (II)
Made by the wonderful ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slowfox. This meme is fascinating. For once, it was worth the time. Thank you, Ralph.
-= YOUR PAST, YOUR PRESENT, YOUR FUTURE =-
morganmuffle: What is the one thing that cheers you up when you're feeling down?
Sleep. I need to just sleep it off, and in the morning, things inevitably seem better somehow. [Note: this morning isn't so hot, actually.]
soupytwist: If you could somehow magically save one item from your past which you no longer have, what would it be and why?
I don't remember. I try to forget.
anthon1: If you met yourself and had no idea who you (the other you, not the you that's answering the question) were, what would you (the meeter) think of yourself? (The met) (Note- the English language needs more pronouns)
I'd probably think I was a pretentious something-wannabe who needed to get her priorities straightened. And you know what? I'd be dead right.
eilanhp: which colours are the clothes you wear most often and why do you wear these colours?
Black. Goes with everything.
loupnoir: What item do you have that really is quite useless for your current life but you cannot bear to part with it?
My teddy bear. I'll never get rid of it.
septemberrains: What is your most embarassing memory of your teenage years?
High school.
bbathory: It's ten years down the road, and you are, by your own measure (if not necessarily society's), successful. What does this mean?
It means I'm happy with myself.
ladycrookshanks: Ten years ago, what did you imagine your life would be like now?
Actually... I hoped it would be like this. That's a strangely uplifting thought. I tried not to imagine it, though.
-= FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD =-
amaterasu: If you could relive a meal from your past, which would it be and why?
This has little to do with the actual food, but it would be a roasted veggies dinner I prepared one night this past January.
wolf_cat: Which snack food best represents you and why?
An apple. I leave a strange aftertaste on your teeth.
mickat24: you were having dinner with the Queen (at your place), what would you serve her?
If she's having dinner at my place, this means I'm dreaming, and while I'm dreaming, she'll be serving me. Filet mignon and asparagus. In garlic sauce, please, your Majesty.
-= THE BENEVOLENT DICTATOR'S SECTION =-
muffinbutt: If money and availability were no object, what is the one thing you would most want to give to another person, and to whom?
I would pay for a friend to finish art school and I would get her her own studio.
chinawolf: If you could move to any place in the world, provided money were no object, where would you move?
Dublin, on the river.
nostrademons: If you could include one question on a meme, what would it be?
Haha, funny. How about: why do we find people attractive, anyway?
spin1978: What is the one place on the planet that you have absolutely no desire to visit in any way, shape, or form?
The bottom of the ocean. That would mean I was dead.
-= EMOTE, PEOPLE, EMOTE =-
autumnlaborra: Describe one your most vivid dreams in as great detail as possible. It doesn't have to be a particularly good or bad dream, just one that you remember really well, for whatever reason. Include how long ago you dreamed it, and any guesses as to why you dreamed that.
All of my dreams are incredibly vivid. I've actually wondered about this. I'm not going to describe any of them, especially not in great detail, because they're all also intensely personal, and always, somehow, relate to my state of mind, which is always best kept to myself only.
tea_and_toast: Tell me about the most interesting (be it moving, important, ridiculous or whatever) experience you've ever had at a museum or memorial site.
I stood at the Martello Tower and looked out at Howth, and the sea was grey and fast.
wowbagger: Tell me a story about two people who changed your life. (That is, two different stories.) One good, one bad. You can take this any way you like; one changed your life for the better, one for the worse; both good, though one was in bad circumstances, etc.
A boy named Matt made me feel like I was worth nothing. A boy named Sam made me feel like I was worth everything.
hannab8: What is the best bit of advice given to you by a parent or guardian?
"Don't forget your keys when you leave the house!"
-= IN PERPETUITY =-
angua9: You have been memorialized as a sculpture. Describe it. Who is the sculptor? Of what material? What pose?
It's life-size, so I'm about three feet tall. JoJo's made it out of clay. It's got me sitting on a toilet, reading porn. I'm still wearing my pants, though.
manubai: If you were to be memorialized, why medium would you choose? (As in paint, sculpture, photograph, film, etc...) Keep in mind it would be displayed in a public place.
A photograph on the back of a book cover.
perceval: Which inscription would you like to see on your tombstone?
"She lived"
-= BRING ON THE APOCALYPSE =-
skycastle: If the world was ending, and you could only save 3 people, as well as yourself, who would the 3 people be?
I'd die, because I would not be able to choose in time.
angelofthenorth: This reality is being destroyed. You have to choose a fictional reality to spend your life in - must be a work published professionally - which do you choose and why?
Harry Potter. I'm still waiting.
luminousmarble: You're the person on the space shuttle to a new planet entrusted with bringing one (and only one) game from Earth. It could be a board game, a card game, or one that needs no props--don't worry, someone else is taking care of sport(s). What do you choose, and why?
Trivial Pursuit, because you can never have enough useless knowledge in your brain.
-= IMAGE, TEXT AND MEDIA =-
calimie: What publically known person do you worship and adore endessly? (If you do, anyway)
I think it's been publicized enough already.
aome: Provide a book quote which really touched you or struck you in some way (include the source).
"Yes, I have known him all my life. And then we met." -- At Swim, Two Boys", Jamie O'Neill.
hiddenhibiscus: True or False: Watching/Reading Harry Potter with my child is more fun than alone.
No clue. When my niece grows up a bit, I'll let you know.
sofie_elisabeth: What is the one book that you read over and over again?
All of them, actually.
glissando: What books are you currently reading, and why?
Mary Stewart's Merlin books, because they were recommended by a very reliable source. Also, re-reading Mary Renault's "The Charioteer" because everybody should.
redwood7: What is the worst movie you've ever seen? Why was it so terrible?
I always forget it, because it was worth forgetting. So, I can't remember. But I remember it being horrible. A toss-up is "The Last Days of Disco."
hildigunnur: Name the three songs (artists, groups) that annoy you the most. You know, the ones they can use to torture you.
"My Heart Will Go On" by Celine "I Am The Devil But You Don't Know It Yet" Dion
"Cold As Ice" by Journey (or is it Foreigner?)
Anything by Yes, Boston, Journey or Foreigner. Take your pick.

a) in Real life in
i) Six month's time:
ii) A year's time: Acceptance into graduate school of my choice
b) in Fandom in
i) Six month's time
ii) A year's time Same.
cynthia_black: If you were confronted with a Boggart, what shape would it assume, and how would you change it to make it funny?
My friends, all turning away from me in disgust. I would make them turn around and scream: "April Fool's!" Though I'm not sure I could laugh at that, not just then.
slowfox: If Hedwig turned up on your windowsill, which single one of the Harry Potter books would you send a 10 year old Boy Who Lived as a warning of what he was up against, and why?
OotP. "You will become two-dimensional! Beware!"
-= THE HATSTAND RETURNS =-
lync: If you were to design a "believable" reality tv show, what would its premise be and why should I watch it?
I wouldn't.
piperx: Do you believe in UFOs?
I believe that there is life on other planets. I don't believe they care enough to see us to bother flying down here.
whitealbum: With reference to your own experience, answer this question: what is the difference between a penguin?
I haven't lived enough to tell you that.
Killer II is the second iteration of the collaborative meme, and you can copy all the questions, including the markup tags, cut tags and html links, from this post here.
I'm rebelling and not taking a shower until I have to go and meet Anna, whenever that will be. Hear that, shower? SCREW YOU!
God, I had a fucked-up dream. I mean, I'm just not normal. At ALL. And my subconscience is even worse. *shakes head*
My family's all in NYC. I'm trying not to feel left out, but I'm not sure it's working. Wasn't working last night, that's for damn sure.
