Initially, I wasn't gonna do any of these 30 day memes that everyone is doing. But then I was looking over some nostalgic discussion of fandoms and memes past, and something occurred to me. I thought about it being 2013 in the future, and everyone saying then, "Hey. Remember those 30 day memes from 2010? Good times..." and I'd be totally LEFT OUT!

So I'm conforming... FOR THE FUTURE! =P

I chose the original one that some of y'all have done rather than one of the variations.

Day 01 - Your favorite song
At the moment? The Bed Intruder Song!


We gon find you!
We gon find you!
So you can run and tell that
run and tell that
run and tell that
homeboy
home, home, homeboy!

XD The epicness! - The original interview can be found HERE in case you don't know what this is from.

( Full list for my reference )

Over the past week or two, I've unsuccessfully visited iTunes several times; I can't find anything that I want to listen to. So I'm innocently doing this little meme, hoping y'all have some good current favorites. 'Cause I need something new.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Slowly by Infected Mushroom - No lyrics; Electronic - I'm not a techno fan, but Infected Mushroom is pretty addicting. This particular song reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog and an old Sega Genesis game called Sub-Terrania.

2. Franks by Infected Mushroom - No lyrics; Electronic - I love the opening melody as it becomes later developed, but really, it's the bells & chimes that clenches it. Who uses bells & chimes in electronic music?

3. Oltremare by Ludovico Einaudi - No lyrics; Piano - I see a pattern here: I've always been a band nerd in love with instruments. I love this piece. This particular composer is amazing. Terri found him, and I highly recommend his music if you're into piano pieces.

4. Interlude by Attack! Attack! - No lyrics; Rock - It's a short little jam fest that leaves your fingers itching for an instrument of your own.

5. Advent: One-Winged Angel - ACC Long Version by Nobuo Uematsu - No lyrics; Soundtrack/Orchestra/Rock - *Cough* This piece is almost too amazing for words: Full Orchestra, Full Choir, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drum Set. Guh. Nobuo Uematsu is amazing.

6. Tidal (Instrumental Version) by Imogen Heap - No Lyrics; Alternative - I really like the song with the lyrics, but I love this instrumental version. It's something about the rhythm - that shifting "missed" beat. I'm still a sucker for syncopation.

7. Sunburn by Owl City - Lyrics; Electronic - This is a really cute song, and I love it because it's completely Terri/Andy. XD Seriously. Listen to it, and you'll understand that this song was written for them!

Ugh!! I thought I'd dodged the bullet from doing this meme! It was going around for a while, but I escaped getting tagged! But apparently someone had other ideas. =P Oh, sigh.

Not that I don't have plenty to be happy about. ^^

The Happiness Meme

Rules: For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same.

Day 1:

I played Halo until 4:30am this morning. There was a reason! - Aside from insomnia. - All my buddies were on, and I made a new one, too. The exciting part was that I held my own among the Level 40s!! (I'm currently a Level 6, but it's only because I don't play Ranked often.)

Also on Halo, NO ONE believes I'm a GIRL! XD I like to stay silent until the end, and then when I get MVP for most kills... I taunt: "So how's it feel to know all y'all guys were beaten by a girl?" ^^ But they think my voice sounds like a guy's. o_o

I tag NO ONE! Because this meme is evil! I have to post regularly?!


And since I'm doing Morri's meme, I'll do that icon one she did, too... Had to add a box in the table, though. I couldn't pick just ONE for sexiest when I have RDA in USAF uniform AND Cillian Murphy in a suit!!

Jacked from mrstater. :)

I took one of these type tests about two years ago, only you just got one score instead of two, and then it broke everything down into social, economic, and foreign; I scored 80% Conservative then, which put me just to the left of being a so-called radical. I did like that one better - the answers could be more true, and I wish I could find it again!

Even so, this one was really good!

You are a Social Conservative (33% permissive) and an... Economic Conservative (86% permissive) You are best described as a: Strong Republican Link: The Politics Test on Ok Cupid Also : The OkCupid Dating Persona Test

"I strongly prefer Conservative/Liberal to Republican/Democrat," shoulda been a question! *shakes fist at republicans*

These two questions threw me, though:

Books with potentially deadly knowledge (like instructions for making awesome bombs) should be regulated.
I've never really thought about this issue since high school and that fiasco with Harry Potter. (Y'all remember that? Parental groups were wanting the books banned from public and school libraries because of the witchcraft thing.) I was against it then, and considering what I want my occupation to be, you'd think I'd be against this entire thing 100% easily. And, when I think about it, I think I am set against it, but I can understand the mindset that would be in favor of it. Still, then you get to the point of who decides what is dangerous. *points above to HP* I'm not in favor of trading feedom for some false security - there's a thing called the internet now, and it should *not* be regulated. Even if you have the books out, what are the probabilities that you'd be able to design an atomic weapon in your backyard, anyway? I mean, you'd have to engage in other sorts of crime or at minimal, suspicious activity, which is why we have law enforcement and the FBI.

Okay. So now that I've talked through that, I'm 100% dead set against. ;)

Eventually, a computer will write the best novel ever written.
WHAT??!! WHO THINKS THIS?!! And why is it political? Cloning??? Is that what they're aiming for? Even so, the nerve! If anyone thinks this.... UGH!

Ask Me Seven Questions Meme

Not just any seven questions though. No, to keep it interesting, use the seven questions as per below - just copy and paste the following, replace the blanks with something you want to know/ask (e.g. 4. Donkeys or sandcastles and why?), anything you want, personal, silly, surreal or deep, comment away and I'll answer honestly as I can! Then post this in your own LJ and see what kind of things people want to ask you!

1. What do you think of _____________ ?

2. When did you last ____________?

3. __________ or ___________ and why?

4. What did you ______________?

5. What's your favorite ______________?

6. How would you ______________?

7. Who would you most like to ________ ?

The is the teaser for the meme I just did since I couldn't find a good breaking point... really period, at all. Sirius and Remus talk too seamlessly!


More info would probably be good, huh?

What actually ends up happening in this is that Sirius badgers Remus into doing something about Tonks. I haven't quite decided how far I want to take it, though. ;)

This one jacked from Morreh! Because it, too, is awesomness.

SHIPPER MEME

Comment to this entry with any fandom. If I'm knowledgeable enough in the fandom to have ships, I'll tell you one non-canon ship I like, one canon ship I like, and one ship I really don't like (either canon OR fanon). Then post this in your own journal to offer up the same responses.

Jacked from mrstater  and morrighangw !

a. Post a list of 10 TV shows you love (current or canceled);
b. Have your friends list guess your favorite character from each show;
c. When guessed bold the line and write a little bit about why you like that character;
d. Post in your own livejournal. 

Jack-Jack's List
1. Stargate SG-1 - Colonel/Major General Johnathan "Jack" O'Neill (Guessed first by morrighangw)
Where do you start with Jack? Seriously, he's probably one of my first favorite characters ever. There's such ANGST with Jack - starting with the loss of his son, Charlie, to an accident in which Charlie killed himself with Jack's gun, so he became boarderline suicidal and quit the military. His wife left him. Then he was chosen for the Stargate program, but the program was shut down, so he lost everything again. Then it was opened again, but this time, he fell in love with the only woman on the planet he couldn't have due to regulations: his 2IC, Samantha Carter. And then she gets engaged to someone else, and... UGH! It's STILL officially unresolved! 10 years later!!! (Subtly, maybe, but that's not enough!!)

But despite all that, Jack is extremely lighthearted and optimistic! He's realistic, a bull-headed complete military guy, lethal to the Nth degree, loyal to a terrible fault, and absolutely hilarious! Which is due in no small part to Richard Dean Anderson himself. And Jack O'Neill isn't hot. Ohhhhh no. He's just downright sexy! @.@ The silver hair that sticks up everywhere? Fingers ITCH!

2. 24 - Jack Bauer (Guessed first by morrighangw)
Dude. It's Jack. Jack can do ANYTHING and get away with it! He's so passionate about serving the US, dedicating his life to the country even when the country had betrayed him! And sure, I may fault him for the Audrey thing, but he did get to torture her after all, so I can dig the ship. Of course, he had to go and do the whole noble thing... But I think the best and simultaneously worst thing about Jack is that even though he's done SO MUCH for the country, he will never be recognized or rewarded for it outside of simple thank yous due to the nature of his job and who he is. And yet, he doesn't care. True patriot. :)

3. Gundam Wing - Zechs Merquise/Milliardo Peacecraft (Guessed first by morrighangw)
I prefer Zechs - mostly because Noin never calls him Milliardo. XP Another ANGST fest and he's so misunderstood! At the age of six, his kingdom was destroyed, parents murdered before his eyes, and he escaped with his sister, pledging himself to one day take revenge. He would protect his sister from the horrors of his chosen path, directly in opposition to everything his father stood and died for: the ideal of pacifism. After years of training, he absolutely loathes himself. Upon achieving his revenge, he's left unsure of how to proceed... Pacifism doesn't work for him or to quell the rift between the Colonies and Earth, so he becomes the devil himself and sets out to destroy the Earth, mind twisted and tortured by Epyon's Zero System and his own hatred of himself.

I STILL insist that Zechs was never evil! Exactly like Noin said, he intended to attone for the sins of the world himself by doing something so absolutely terrible that no one would ever want to fight again. He may have been wrong about how he was approaching it, but he wasnt evil! EVER!

4. Bleach - Kisuke Urahara (Guessed by terriayame)
So little is known about Urahara; really, I don't have a clue why I like him so much, but I do. I lurves him!! Mostly acting like he's clueless on the surface, always joking and never serious, you never expect him to become serious. And then he's deadly serious in more ways than one as one of the former Captains of Soul Society, banished for his research. And you thought Ichigo was powerful? Urahara is just awesome.

5. Star Trek: The Next Generation - Captain Jean Luc Picard (Guessed first by morrighangw)
What CAN you say about Captain Picard?? Or Patrick Stewart for that matter? I mean... charisma doesn't cover the half of it! And what man his age still retains an air of attractiveness? And ya' just.... ya' gotta love the voice. And the accent. =D "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot." XD Oh, and him vs Q? No better entertainment than to watch their exchanges!

6. Ghost Whisperer - Melinda Gordon (Guessed by terriayame)
Seriously? Bravest fictional woman EVER! @.@ She sees dead people! She goes to see them in dark, spooky places; I'm just watching and my heart is pounding! And she solves their problems with people who are still living - people who are never willing to work with her and shut her out!

And yet, she's so feminine. She's this super brave heroine, but she's never more than an average woman - with an extreme amount of empathy, luck, and oh, she can see dead people. ^^ She gets scared and cries and gets into terrible situations she shouldn't survive from which she has to be rescued from by her hubby! =D Oh, and I love the way she dresses, like Terri says. ^_^ - On most accounts.

7. Stargate Atlantis - Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter or Rodney McKay - NEVER an and!!!!! (Guessed by terriayame)
Picking Sam as my favorite is kind of cheating since she just joined the show this season... Still, Sam is just incrediblely brilliant, and she finally has her own command! True, I'd prefer to see her under O'Neill's command just so that SG-1 was still going, but...

For my non-cheating pick, McKay is hilarious. The historic flirting between him and Carter is hilarious because.... XD Ahh, you've gotta see it. There's nothing there, and yet, they act like there is... - Or at least McKay doe. And that translates to everything on the show. He's so knowledgable, but he's cocky and arrogant and a real smart-alec. He's a riot to watch. XD

8. Teen Titans - Raven & Cyborg (Guessed by xxdesert_roseand terriayame)
Raven - AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!!! And she's emo: deadpanning sarcastic humor = hilarious.
Cyborg - He's truly happy when he's A) playing video games and winning against Beastboy, B) working on his car, or C) stuffing his face. XD

9. Gundam Seed  - Athrun Zala (Guessed first by xxdesert_rose)
Athrun TOTALLY got the raw end of the deal! His father goes stark-raving mad, and he's caught in the middle. An ace MS pilot, he ends up being pitted against Kira. And then he kills Kira's friend and Kira kills his, so he beats down and kills Kira, and is so!!! so!!! sad! - only Kira's not dead!  Lacus saves him! Speaking of whom, Athrun's all devoted to Lacus and their pre-arranged marriage, but then she chooses Kira?! >.> So not right! 

Lacus didn't deserve him. Awesome as her character is, she sucks for that. >.>

BUT!! A new ship was born: Athrun and Cagalli! *SQUEE!* Bringing tidings of great joy! And he even gets to have a mobile suit battle with her in his lap. How hardcore squee-awesome is that? XD

10. X-Files (Pre-Season 7) - Agent Fox Mulder (Guessed by terriayame)
I've always thought, since learning Mulder's first name, that Fox was a really cool name. Not that I'd ever name any kid of mine that, but still. It's hard for me to really think about the show now because it was so disappointing; I loved Mulder's character because he believed everything, yet he still questioned and neve gave up despite being shut down and losing everything he'd thought he'd gained again and again and again and again. He had such devotion to his sister - was so convinced that she was abducted by aliens. What a disappointment that was: it was hard not to hate the show after that. :(

Dude... That got really hard after 6... Does my Sci-Fi addiction show? XD
