The Millennium Hunk of Plexiglass

[azurite]

I'm tempted to challenge people to:
A - Write a fic where a multitude of so-called "Millennium Items" show up. All of them humorous, but all of them completely destroyed by the end of the fic.

B - Write a fic where Shizuka is the main character. And don't bash her. Don't yaoi or yuri-ize her. Just see the world/events *cough* through her eyes. Or something.

C - Write a fic centering around some event from the movie (see it, or get the Ani-Manga book this fall) and change it-- for better or for worse. If you want some specific events to work with, let me know-- I have a few that would make for great fics.

You Know You're From California When...

The fastest part of your commute is down your driveway. You were born somewhere else. True for my Mom, but not me or my dad... You know how to eat an artichoke. Damn straight I do. The primary bugs that you worry about are electronic. All the time. Oh, and West Nile, now that I'm down here in LA. Your car has bullet-proof windows. o_O Yeah, if you're in a HUMMER! Left is right and right is wrong. So true. Your monthly house payments exceed your annual income. I love not paying rent. You can't find your other earring because your son is wearing it. HAHAHAHAHAHAA... You drive to your neighborhood block party. Yep. Your family tree contains "significant others." As opposed to...? You don't exterminate your roaches, you smoke them. o_O???? You see 25 lawyers chasing an ambulance. Hahahahaa... maybe in Beverly Hills! More than clothes come out of the closets. WHOO HOO! You go to a tanning salon before going to the beach. Paris Hilton does. I don't tan, I BURN! More money is spent on face lifts than on diapers. ~I am beautiful, no matter what they say~ Smoking in your office is not optional. o_O? More like FORBIDDEN. You pack shorts and a T-shirt for skiing in the snow, and a sweater and a wet suit for the beach. That sounds about right. When you can't schedule a meeting because you must "do lunch." As opposed to NOT doing lunch? Your children learn to walk in Birkenstocks. GEH! Ugly shoes, ugly factory! Rainstorms or thunder are the lead story for the local news. Nine times out of ten. You'll reluctantly miss yoga class to wait for the hot tub repairman. Me, yoga!? Hah. You consult your horoscope before planning your day. Sometimes. A glass has been reserved for you at your favorite winery. o_O I'm more of a vodka person, myself. All highways into the state say: "no fruits." Yeah, because we grow 70% of the nation's fruits! All highways out of the state say: "Go back." California OWNS YOUR SOUL! The Terminator is your governor HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! You can't remember . . . is pot illegal?  Shut up. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH" Yep. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from California. So... got any to add? Steph? Eva? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

'Course, I didn't see any for outside the US, but I'm sure someone out there in the great wide world has created a "You know you're from (insert Canadian province here) when..."

Or YOU could make one. :D

No wait, I'm a dumbass -- I just saw the link. -_-;
...It's 7-something AM and I haven't been up this early in a few years. I'm not sure if that's a valid excuse.

With relation to your challenge B...

[geniusgirl.livejournal.com]

I know that you haven't issued the challenege of doing a fic from Shizuka's point of view officially but I think I just might take you up on it. I have a thing for writing the strangest scenes from the weirdest perspectives (i.e. Feel Beautiful). This should be fun. Heh, I'll even see if I can twist enough to... nah. When I'm done with it, I'll tell you.

Re: With relation to your challenge B...

@_o Feel Beautiful, from Shizuka's POV? Woah, that's like... voyeurism, isn't it? *snicker* But, as always where any of your fics are concerned, I can't wait.
