There's a lizard in the toilet and other morning observations

[misscam]

Bush sure can't do anything right of late, can he?

In case Bush didn't read the whole bit about the French revolution at school, here's Cam's digest version:

People don't get food. People get hungry. People get pissed. People act out against the injustice. Heads roll. People get new leader. Leader either a) pays attention to lesson of history and feeds them or b) circle starts all over again.

Don't deny people their food, mmkay?

I'm so glad we had this little history lesson.

Random observations in the morning:

- There's a CSI ship nicknamed "Norwasian"??? Dear me.

- Have gotten myself Google Talk. camilla.sandman at gmail dot com for those wanting to add me.

- My mum knows when the new Harry Potter film opens in Norway and I don't. She also knows the premiere is sold out. My mum is a bigger Harry Potter fangirl than me. One of these days I'm going to discover she wanders about at Mugglenet or something similar. Scary.

- Okay, now I'm gonna have toilet fright thanks to this story. WTF? Having a lizard bite me in the bum is not my idea of a lovely bathroom experience. Cute lizard, though.

- Must remember to feed the fish.

- I have over seven years of fanfic-writing written about 145 fics. Whoa.

- It's not actually possible to turn off an alarm clock by will alone.

Half my flist seems to be doing this, so.... Meme!

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want- good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

Or since I've had a few new friends of late: Tell me something about yourself you think I should know and then ask me something you think you should know about me.

Finally, coutesy of iseeyoucam:

The first thing that came to my mind when I read this meme is...

Checking my mailbox and finding out that a certain generous ( and definitely not so evil) Norwegian brunette had got me an LJ paid account!

So, no memory you should be mortified about :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Heh. Was my pleasure. Didn't cost me too much and made someone's day, y'know?

[falena]

About that lizard... If I could hold my breath for half an hour I'd certainly find better things to do than navigate the sewer system (Sean Bean's bathtub comes to mind...)

And a memory of you... hmm, I remember when it was rabbithole day or something like that and you posted a poem waxing lyrical on how much you loved George Bush :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Maybe it was the only way to escape. Poor widdle lizard.

Oh yes. I freaked more than one person out with that one. That was fun. Must do it again some day.

OMG HIII! AND BYEEE! <3

[reenjalas.livejournal.com]

Google is a wonderful thing, isn't it? (http://www.cndb.com/actor.html?name=Eccleston%2C+Christopher)

First thing I remember of you is.... Hmm... Oooh! You ogling football players and wishing, I think, that they'd still have those skimpy pants on. And that they'd play without shirts, if memory serves me right. Arghlebarglebraaagh.

I think you should know my first name, which is Ella, after the singer Ella Fitzgerald. You should also know that my middle name, it's horrible, yes, I know! is Elvistiina. My parents don't remember the reason why they gave me such a terrible name. I mean, honestly! Elvis! And Tiina! I know for certain that I'm the only one in Finland with Elvistiina in her name. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Am very frantic now as I write this, as I AM FINALLY GOING TO SEE "CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY" WHICH HAS JOHNNY DEPP AND CHOCOLATE IN IT!!1111!!

Yes, I KNOW I'm crazy, thank you very much.

Anyhow. Off to the movies with me. Whee!

Re: OMG HIII! AND BYEEE! <3

[misscam.livejournal.com]

BWHAHA! See, that's very helpful.

Sounds like something I would say that, even if I can't remember quite that occasion. Me and football ogling...

You poor child.

But enjoy the movie. It's great.

It's just a bad idea all around to get between anyone and soul food. Take my collard greens away and I'd risk sniper fire to protest too.

Since I am new to these here flist parts, I'll go for the second meme option. Um, my mom's boyfriend is Norwegian? Yeah, that'll work. Question about you...hmm, but what are your thoughts on yaoi?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I've written slash twice. It's not my favourite thing to read, but I have some favourites. I'm not too fond of the habit of feminizing one male in the pair-up, though.

General "yay, whatever floats your boat", me thinks.

For chocolate, I would risk a tank.

[anitchka.livejournal.com]

There's a CSI ship nicknamed "Norwasian"??? Dear me.

What ship is that a nickname for? Greg/somebody, I presume.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Greg/Archie.

Norwegian/Asian, see?

[adoraheatherly.livejournal.com]

Bush is damn lucky that he didn't do something like that down here. We lynch people for far lesser offenses than denying us our beloved soul food.

Hmmm, a memory...I have lots of them. This conversation from February 2, 2005 comes to mind for some reason:

[adoraheatherly.livejournal.com]

adoralyna: "Pretend he's someone else. Lie back and think of Norway."
adoralyna: *cracks up*
misscam: *sniggers* I hope she wasn't suggesting I should pretend he was Norway
misscam: I love my country... but not *that* way
adoralyna: that would be a new fetish
misscam: "Is the guy a fugly dick? Lie back and think of your country. It's a much better shag."
adoralyna: *chuckles*
adoralyna: my country would be a crappy shag
adoralyna: like a fat, lazy, stupid redneck who thinks hes a porn star and comes much too quickly
misscam: Mine would be pretty hard, due to all the mountains
misscam: and slim, shapewise
adoralyna: yes, yours definitely has washboard abs
adoralyna: and lasting power
misscam: and big rocks
adoralyna: very big boulders, yes
adoralyna: *snicker*
misscam: *washes brain*
adoralyna: mine has the impressive size but no clue what to do with it
misscam: ah, like one of those guys who think size does it, not skill
misscam: and goes in-and-out without variation
adoralyna: oh yes
adoralyna: my patriotism knows no bounds

[adoraheatherly.livejournal.com]

misscam: you mean you wouldn't do your country?
adoralyna: no, I'd have to lie back and pretend it was Orlando
misscam: *cracks up*
misscam: America must be so hurt
adoralyna: good! maybe it'll learn some humility and ASK a woman what she wants instead of charging in with its big gun and discharging all over the place
misscam: oh, that lovely mental image...
misscam: I guess the US needs to learn to clean up its semen and not leave it on the carpet
adoralyna: yeah, I don't want to sleep in the wet spot it leaves behind
misscam: It's probably one of those people who cum early, anyway and the fun's over before it began
adoralyna: yes, the US has always been a bit...hasty HROOM
misscam: oh yes. It blews it horn far too often
adoralyna: and in inappropriate places!
misscam: like up the ass
adoralyna: or in my ear
misscam: bad, bad aim
misscam: in short, the US is a Bad Shag
adoralyna: and certainly doesn't stay to cuddle. "wham, bam, I'm off to bible study!"
adoralyna: and a slut to boot! The US certainly has its fingers in everyone's pie
misscam: and not very crafty fingers, either
adoralyna: big, clumsy fingers
adoralyna: that can never find your weapon of mass arousal
misscam: honestly, how hard is it to find the clitoris, hmm?
adoralyna: it shouldn't be....
misscam: oh, it thinks everyone is aroused by the mere sight
misscam: since it's so divinely big and all
misscam: duh
adoralyna: *giggles*
adoralyna: this is definitely postworthy
misscam: we're both sick and disturbed
misscam: really, now I'm forever going to ponder which countries are good shags and which are not
adoralyna: we're sick but imaginative
misscam: we do get into some seriously weird conversations sometimes
adoralyna: but its not a bad thing
misscam: does take one's mind of the general crap of the world, now doesn't it?
adoralyna: I certainly feel better
misscam: a little humour does wonders. - Though I could have done without the "me-shagging-Norway" mental image
adoralyna: should give you interesting dreams though
misscam: if I get dreams about shagging Norway, I'm hunting someone down to smack, that's for sure
adoralyna: you can smack me, I'm used to it. my country thrives on pain
misscam: Actually, I was thinking of the girl who said "lie back and think of Norway" originally and got this whole thing started
misscam: hmm, so your country is into BDSM?
adoralyna: yes, its a bit on the sadistic side. loves meting out unjust punishment for its own pleasure
misscam: probably wears leather and likes to whip people
adoralyna: but doesnt do it properly. leaves scars
misscam: probably just a wannabe BDSMer
adoralyna: yes, one of those trendy fuckers
misscam: Hip with a whip
misscam: or so it likes to think
adoralyna: *laugh*
misscam: *ponders what Australia would be*
misscam: probably a rough fuck, that
adoralyna: I would think so
adoralyna: hot and sweaty
misscam: and very different

LJ evidently counts all of the HTML markup as extra characters and made me split it up.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

We're seriously disturbed, you know that, right?

I'd forgotten that one. And now all those lovely mental images are returning at full force. I can't believe I dragged Australia into it too. It's a big 'What shag would your country be?' meme bait as well.

On the bright side, pass this convo on to Bush and he's sure to have a coronary.

[git-the-goddess.livejournal.com]

So can your 'What shag would your country be?' meme bait can be considered a weapon of Bush destruction?

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

::dies::

[git-the-goddess.livejournal.com]

My first LJ fatality! I'm so happy!

[armeniel.livejournal.com]

I have lots of memories of you ^^ I think you've made me really want to go to Norway more than once by describing its weather or something that's happened there, I can't remember anything specific though (but that's just because I have a bad memory :P).

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling. Oh yes.

[erhothwen.livejournal.com]

I remember for one particular meme, you asked me what about Texas I liked. And I ended up going overboard and analytical. :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Can happen to best patriots of us ;)

[highwindpav.livejournal.com]

That things with Bush...geeeez. Very likely not his fault, but he doesn't have to make it worse by acting like an uninformed doof.

And Norwasian? Is that pairing popular enough for a 'ship name? Why does everything have to have 'ship names? Especially dumb ones made by the head on collisions of words?

...bah, sorry, my brain is fried, I can't remember anything. Oh, yeah, now I do, I remember thinking your Yggdrasil tattoo looked cool and wishing I could get a better look at it.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Because everyone else is doing it and it doesn't feel like a ship without it? I dunno, really. I've given up on figuring out certain things.

:) Webcam is a bit blurry, alas, so can't show it off too well.

[unendingreverie.livejournal.com]

Norwasian. Greg/Archie, right? It's pretty hawt, actually.

Did you ever catch my lovely CSI G/Sr spoiler?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not sure... Did it come from YTDAW? I read most of the spoilers there.

And yes, you're right.

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

Hah. Bush= idiot.

[munchkin62.livejournal.com]

In response to le memory meme:
One of my favorite memories of Cam is one of my favorite terms: "Smeg". Oh how I love this word, even used it once (just came to mind when I hit my head).

[misscam.livejournal.com]

All hail Red Dwarf.

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

I'll vote Cam for now! (Although I'm not American and have no means of getting there... but since when did that stop anybody?)

You'll sure be the prettiest President ever. And considering the average age of past presidents, practically a baby genius. :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Flatterer :P

I certainly couldnt be much dumber than some of them, sheesh.

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

How else am I going to get the job of Chief Kicker of Sues? :P

----

I fear greatly for anything that manages to be more dumber than them.

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Just read over that. "More dumber"? 0_o

English speak me good now.

[limegreen-sloth.livejournal.com]

I've lurked for a long time, but as my memory is shot I think you should know that when I first discovered the internet at age 14, I was in the Ian Thorpe fandom. I even wrote multi-chaptered Mary Sue self-inserts that usually centred around me covering the Olympics as a sports journalist and yeah.

What is your most embarrassing memory of fandom?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. Well, we all gotta start somewhere.

Hmmm. Tricky question. I think probably back in my first fandom, being stupid enough to share a chat I'd had with someone else with someone I thought a friend, who shared it with a friend of hers, who shared it with a friend who was the person the chat had been about. Oy.

Learned a lesson there, let me tell you.

[mademoisellenon.livejournal.com]

The line about "screams from the family toilet" slayed me. The toilet came to life and...boom...there was much screamage.

Yeaaaah, cute. The urban myth about an alligator in the toilet much?

[krazykat.livejournal.com]

I remember lovely snarks in which the Shrub was dissed and dismissed. Actually I have quite a few memories of them.

I also remember you giving me a title - that was fun
