turns away quite leisurely from the disaster

[meitachi]

HI HI! I'm back from Pittsburgh and New Jersey and it was fun and there shall be pictures! Eventually. I'm glad to be home because alkdjlfs my bed--I have this bond with it--but I miss my wifey. And I'm not so much looking forward to all the stuff I have to do (hello there, LSATs).

But! I kind of wanna faff around on LJ some before getting productive (this is not new news). So let's meme! :D

I got this from higherskies eons ago (oh procrastination):

Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favorite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favorite icon. (Ya rly, this is my favorite icon of my 6.)

And also, I was reading hackthis' Heroes fic, and I was staring at her titles, which are so awesome and appropriate. mistful also has a way with titles, as do some other HP authors. Published authors are good with it too. Who says you can't judge a book by its cover title?

So this other meme: name some titles of fic, books, or poems that you really liked and/or made you want to read the work, regardless of whether the work was any good or not.

Off the top of my head, some of my favorites are below:

-Loved Those of Great Ambition (HP)
-We're Made Out of Blood & Rust (Heroes)
-Even Atlas Fails (Heroes)
-The Internet is the Most Fun You Can Have Without Taking Your Clothes Off (PoT)
-A Consummation Devoutly to be Wished (HP)
-Precision and Other Overlooked Pastimes (HP)
-Probably Everyone in Cell Block E (Ocean's 11)
-Neither French nor Actually Canadian (Bruno & Boots)
-An Incomplete and Cursory List of Hobbies Shindou Hikaru Has Attempted (Hikago)
-Somebody Else's Hand (PoT)
-Blowjobs and Other Cheap Birthday Presents (Supernatural)

-Swordspoint: A Melodrama of Manners (by Ellen Kushner)
-The Lies of Locke Lamora (by Scott Lynch)
-A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Mark Twain)
-Sorcery and Cecilia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (by Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer)
-A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (by James Joyce)
-A Hat Full of Sky (by Terry Pratchett)
-Something Wicked This Way Comes (Shakespeare, Ray Bradbury)

There are so many more. ::keymash:: I need to do lunch.

Bonus points if you tell me what my subject quote is from. (Here's a hint: it has nothing whatsoever to do with Fascist America, wtf Google.)

And does anyone have an mp3 of Ne-Yo's "So Sick"? 'Cause I can't get it out of my head.

And, consider this one the icon-answering meme (ie, *my* favorite, cause I'm not gonna make a post about it). Though... there's a *lot* of runners-up, including Patration, Bulldogs, Holy crap, Freedom, Cudacuda....*sigh* I hearts them. :3 Downgrading to a free account in the fall is gonna HURT.

Also now I wanna reread Probably Everyone In Cell Block E, but fuck if I can find it on my own....I *will* try, right after I post this, but unless it's in your memories or mine I'm screwed.

Wait, what am I saying. Of course it's in your memories. :D

Also I find myself wanting to read Supernatural fic because of you (and because its title is so intriguing. Goddamnit, wifey.

Plus!! Some good news! Three people came by at the same time to fix the toilet. O_o I get results at least?? ^^;; They're gonna replace it next week and they loaned me a plunger for now. How joyful. ♥

Probably Everyone in Cell Block E (http://www.yuletidetreasure.org/archive/13/probablyeveryone.html). :D Not in my memories, I don't think, because I couldn't find it again on LJ. Or I was too lazy to try.

Hee, there are a couple of other good Supernatural fic titles I didn't include, such as "There's gotta be a punch line in here somewhere" and "Chocolate (or the Things You Gotta Do to Get Laid)". Probably more but I haven't been keeping up with Supernatural fic.

As for the icon meme, as tempted as I am to pick the Taito icon, it's probably either of these two:

or

The first is Mayaquote! Hee. :D
