A whole bunch of quarters were stuck in the Coke machine at Safeway, and they couldn't get it out. Apparently I'm not enough of a girl to think of carrying a nail file with me for just those situations. But then again, when I have been properly prepared, I've been too much of a brute to do anything but break MORE stuff. In other words, even if I had a nail file on me, I would have broken it too, and then gotten mad over that. Well, I got my 75 cents back, but the Select Soda machine was sold out of Colas too, so I had to settle for Orange Soda. Augh, teeth rot.
I found a copy of the March Popular Science at the laundromat, and for the few minutes I was there (I went home, grabbed the recyclables, went to Safeway, went home and got more laundry, and then went back to the laundromat again. Then home and back to the laundromat again. ^^;) it was a good read. This guy made the attempt to explain the various universal theories about dimensions in Plain English. It was still a bit complicated, but rather cool anyway. Plus there was this whole article on the crapiness of Apple's iPod's batteries. See, I'm glad I didn't waste a whole paycheck on one of those. If I ever stick to the idea of getting an MP3 player, it'll be another brand-- not some over hyped craptacular iPod. I don't care if it's got a colored screen or not. As long as it can hold a few hundred MB-2GB, and even better, display the track title and artist, it'll suit me just fine.
Of course, I need a job, first...
Yeah, Mamono, I snagged the idea from you. Maybe anyone else unfortunate enough to stumble on this should do the same thing-- enter your LJ name/info in the quizzes as applicable, and when you post the results in your journal, put it behind an LJ-cut with the text "Black Hole!" or something close to it. Hehe.
Anyway.
Okay, if "Best Smile" goes to whoever licks their face the most while contorting their face in the most demonic way possible, then CHEERS to Marik and his grin of doom! And if he's also most likely to succeed, then I fear for the safety of humanity. Mai's the class clown only because she graduated 6 years ago, and Anzu's always absent because... er... Anzu's... really a secret agent for the CIA! Geh, and Rebecca, the most kissable? *pout*
Seems a bit ironic. I suppose I should be glad that in Mamono's version, I was "Most Likely to Succeed." Whee.
Where the heck did Andrew get all that money!?
Marik's richer than Kaiba! O_O! I think it's because he's been hoarding Egyptian gold all this time in that tomb-home of his.
All I'm gonna say is: O_o
Okay, it's "cute" that she ends up with Yuugi, but the fact that her LJ kids are herself, Atemu, and Kaiba...!? Erm... "The Next Generation Duelists!"
Giles has become an elf, and Chibi's been kicked off a cliff or sat one ONE TOO MANY TIMES. *grin* Go us.
-.-; Somehow I think the Chairman would be a bit biased if he were also Iron Chef Italian. Not to mention, Wesley's kinda DEAD. Makes it hard to cook and host Iron Chef, ne? But I would pay good money to see Baine and Ropa duke it out on the Iron Chef kitchen floor! :DD
Erm, what with Fred dying and all, yep, I'd say she's pretty angsty. I don't think Illyria really fits the "angsty" profile though. As for Shihiko... erm, I don't see her post very often. And Priestess Kaiba really should have gotten the dramatic one-- have you READ her fics? *swoons* The angst! The drama! The romance! As for long winded... dammit, I want that one. Someone tell me if you get me for that! As for God winning the Plot-Driven one, I think that works-- haha, his posts are a bit short, and when plot comes in short, mysterious bursts, it's all the better! I should take a page from his book... And Ryu is the most poetic? I believe it-- didn't he just post a poem the other day?
Wait, I'm 46% addicted to LJ, but I'll most likely recover from my addiction!? PSHAW! Oh, and I tried to enter "totally" as my l33t (1337) response to "Are you 1337?" but y is a very hard letter to pull off in l33t, as I've found. It's mostly pager code mixed with a few slashes for effect, right? Okay, so I'm not as l33t as I'd like. As for the numbers I'll have by 2009... well, I have this one and technically, I own the
smrff one. Does that count as a 2nd one? ^^;
Okay, if Angel's cooking, I'm not eating. I mean hello, VAMPIRE?! It's probably raw meat. Blech. But LOL to the rest of it. I can totally see Eva getting 100% annoyed by someone like Andrew, and sanban... er, I'm not sure I remember who sanban is anymore. o_O
I liked Kaiba's results better-- it was Anzu's fault for landing on the desert island, he was stuck there with her, Jounouchi, Atemu, and Shizuka, and Shizuka annoyed him the most, while Atemu was the survival expert, Rebecca got the role of Cook, and Jounouchi went mad first. Heheh. But for me? No Kaiba! *WAILS* But Marik got us stuck on a desert island (someone must have replaced the Millennium Rod with a fake that shot sparks and made him barf slugs!), Bakura is cooking (again, RAW MEAT!), Mai is the survivor (of course. Matter of fact, if the Yu-Gi-Oh cast were on Survivor!, Mai would either be the first one kicked off, or the one to win), and Honda is the one that goes insane (of course, that's why he annoys me the most-- he goes mad because there's TWO of him!).
Er... Harmony is going to break my legs, and someone's been stealing my hard cheese? (wtf is 'hard cheese,' anyway?)
MARIK, GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY CHEESE! Hah. At least I won't be marrying Atemu... but of course, he's like sort of dead, you know? But who the heck is Marik in love with, anyway? I'm going to hazard a guess and say... er... Shizuka! Because she's so cool when she's evil! (I should see what variations I can get when I change her fav color to something else, like 'Sky Blue' or 'Pink' or something.)
Buffy + Nikki = DOOM! Hehe. And ph33r Ayori. She will run you over with her Motorbike of Doom if you try anything on my Kingdom. :D Mwaha.
*blink* Marik has been caught making out with himself. Ooooookaaaaaay.
Why is it ALWAYS cancer!? (I really need to sort through my friends list, if Dead RPers are still on there)
=.= Richard just AIMed me. He's in Kuwait. And he's AIMing me. Does anyone else see something STRANGE here?
Oh, and... here goes nothing!
You know how badfics are filled with such atrocities as Mary-Sues, horrid grammar and spelling, and of course... *drum roll, please* character bashing!? Okay, I see Anzu/Téa bashing more than anything else, and as a staunch defender of Anzu, I challenge all YGO fic writers to the following:
Have Anzu, the most bashed YGO character in ficdom, rail on the YGO boys for their bash-worthy traits.
You know who and what I mean:
(1) Yuugi/Atemu - Heart of the cards speeches, obsession with "saving the world"
(2) Kaiba - Power trippy-ness, obsession with winning, lack of a social life
(3) Jounouchi - Over-protectiveness of Shizuka, friendship speeches, short fuse
(4) Otogi - Playboy status
(5) Honda - His hair
The challenge is to have her either
a) seriously and completely yell at the character for their bash-worthy traits/attitude, with or without a rebuttal OR
b) have her go through one or a few traits from EACH character (some I didn't list).
If you can do it where Anzu is either speaking to the reader (as if she is aware that she is in a fanfic), or where she doesn't seem OOC, then all the better. GO!
