Welcome to my perfumed garden

That fashion meme thing everyone seems to be doing (should we ask ourselves why?) (o:

( Cut because... who cares, really? (o: )

Oh, that's a surprise....

My new cable won't be here till the end of the week. I really can't spend time browsing around on LJ (I'm having to work with a pen, on paper! O:! Like it's the Middle Ages or something... *g*)

So I'm taking a leaf out of fluterbev's book; that is to say, copying this word-for word from her fabuouls meme:

I've long been delighted and impressed that the people who read my journal originate from far and wide. What I'd love is for you to comment below, and tell me which region/country you are from. And I'd love if you could add to that one particular thing that makes your part of the world unique. It might be music, a TV show, a recipe, a landmark, a specific historical fact. Anything you are proud of, whether other people might be aware of it or not.

Please. Entertain me! I am so very bored!

Meep! 39 minutes and falling...

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick four of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

and I can't leave the laptop alone, even though it gives me a headache, I am indulging in memes. Like this one, blaired from the estimable bluebrocade

List ten fictional characters you wouldn't kick out of bed (in no particular order and tag five people to do the same - but I ain't a taggin', because... heck, I'm just not that demanding.


Anyone else want to play?

You're Invisible Man!

by Ralph Ellison

Most of your life, people have either ignored you or told you that you
were wrong. You've been duped, mistreated, misled, and neglected. Maybe it was because
of your race, or some other uniqueness that people were quick to condemn, but now you
just want to crawl into a hole and disappear. After all, nobody knows your name. But
you just might speak for everyone.

OMG, I'm an ELLISON!!! - That description is nothing like me!

Not much happening; not getting much work done on the book or the fic...

1. List your top five favorite musical artists.
2. List your top five favorite songs from each artist.
3. Tag five people to do the same.

OK, my five favourite artists change day by day; ditto my favourite tracks, but at the moment they'd be (in no particular order):

As to the rest of it - been writing all day, on and off - whenever I get some ****ing  peace!!  which is not often - 1,200 words of the novel, a paltry 750 words of fic. I'll try and get some more done later - I really need to get the next bit of m'fic done and posted. ::spanks own bottom. Likes it too much. Spanks self again::

(heh. I really don't know why I write that, I'm really not into spanking at all; in fact it's a bit of a fandom squick. Hey ho, it makes me giggle and I need all the giggles I can get...  *g*)

But I am very, very bored -

( That presidential candidate meme thingy. )

I have no idea what any of this means (if anything) but it looks like me and this Kucinich guy (who, since he hasn't featured at all, to my knowledge, on the extensive (aka excessive) BBC reporting on the presidential electioning and all that, is probably not much of a contender? (o:) should maybe go on holiday together? *G* Mike Gravel sounds like a made-up name; a gurning maniac played by Terry Gilliam in a Python sketch.
