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.

My god that is so hard to choose. I like KuroFai spazzing! I like Swisshy! I like hearts!

But I picked this:

>: Oh FMA.

And I don't really like Pterry's YA books--too moral for my tastes. But I really do like the title of the book. (And tell me if you want links to any of those fics, hee.)

xD ♥ I like that icon too. It's so appropriate for using in awkward situations. Nice and neutral and sort of nostalgia-inducing. Hmmmm.

I don't know if they're moral or not, seeing as I've never read any of them (violent prejudices, ahoy!) but the tone just annoys the heck out of me. Eats, Shoots, Leaves is a book of brilliant title-age. (which ones are the fics?)

[meiface.livejournal.com]

The fics are the top half (with fandom names in parantheses and not authors)! :D

[forochel.livejournal.com]

I see. Mmmm, maybe The Internet is the Most Fun You Can Have Without Taking Your Clothes Off (PoT), Probably Everyone in Cell Block E (Ocean's 11), and An Incomplete and Cursory List of Hobbies Shindou Hikaru Has Attempted (Hikago)?

THIS IS TEZURYO. IT WAS THE FIRST TEZURYO I READ. INADVERTENTLY. :((( Also the original source of all my and Jaz's mocking of Federer.

[forochel.livejournal.com]

YOU COULD HAVE SAID IN YOUR POST THAT IT WAS TEZURYO BECAUSE THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO NOW LIVE WITH THE MORTIFICATION OF ASKING FOR A TEZURYO FIC EVEN THOUGH THE NAME TOTALLY RULES ANDANDAND---


I am clearly still violently biased against Tezuka. >: Except for when he's toast. Ahahahah. toast.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

IT IS OKAY TO BE BIASED. But you should read the fic anyway. You'll come out of with a slightly icky feeling because it's so cute but it's still TezuRyo and --yes, clearly I want to share my trauma.

*WARDS OFF*

[meiface.livejournal.com]

B-but--even Jaz read them! You cannot miss it just because of Fuji. Ignore the rest! Fuji is AMAZING. aNd TaLkS lIkE tHiS ^_^

[forochel.livejournal.com]

BUT FUJI. IS. NOT WITH RYOMA. *is shot* 8D"


And the entry is locked, I think.
