Grudges, wank, news, mortal enemies, evil bunnies and WoW geekery (with meme).

[misscam]

Figures after doing a post on fandom grudges I spot this. And of course I know who both those two are. Ah, CSI fandom. You totally want us to get drunk in the wankshelter bar, don't you?

Holy Odin's eye, VictoriaBitter returns! OMG. Blast from wanky, wanky LotR past. I was vaguely around for some of this, though it's not the LotR wank I remember the best.

Headline spotted at manticoran's: Swiss Acidentally Invade Liechtenstein. Bwhahahaha.

maureenlycaon pointed me to this cat with 26 toes. Kinda weirdly cute.

Meanwhile, Norway's digging itself out of snow (pictures). Kinda mad, innit? We had to get snow off our roof in 1994, I remember, or it would've caved on us. Now the weather has turned mild, so the snow has kinda turned to this white mush. Today, it rained. Definitely spring in the air, oh yes.

So did you know Wkipedia now has a mortal enemy of sorts- Conservapedia? According to itself, it's Conservapedia is a much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and anti-American (...) You will much prefer using Conservapedia compared to Wikipedia if you want concise answers free of "political correctness". It certainly doesn't take long to spot a certain bias on there.

It reminds me how much people who sneer "political correctness" at any sort of use of tact or consideration in society make me want to don a Viking helmet and be very incorrect and violent, though. Argh.

Have plotbunny of doom from thread about fanfic pet peeves and wrote two pages on Like Fireflies, a dark Doctor/Rose thing, though it mainly is a Rose story. Even got a summary of sorts - Little Red Riding Hood. Big bad time in the clothes of grandma TARDIS. Maybe a prince, just without a kingdom. Certainly ever after. But this isn't a fairytale. This is a price to pay. Haven't sat down to seriously write in a long time. Gonna need a beta too - maybe at the end of this week already.

WoW update: Been lvl 70 for over a week now. Have flying mount. lotus79 have hit 40 and mount, which pleased us both muchly. Huzzah! And because I am a geek, I have pictures. Me and one of my pets. (I have a similar one in green as well. If you can guess/spot/reason what I've named them after, I will give you a geek cookie.) Me (on flying mount) and bro. He's a paladin dwarf and quite widdle little-brotherly cute, if you ask me. Me and Saz. We should totally get a picture of our two characters, lotus79, and make terribly geeky icons.

Finally, a meme: Post a comment asking me for my top five list of anything. Food, songs, venomous snakes, fanfics, smells, TV-shows-I-pretend-not-to-watch-but-totally-do, chocolates... And so on. I'll reply and ask the same of you. You can post the meme in your LJ if you want even more lists.

Ah, CSI fandom. You totally want us to get drunk in the wankshelter bar, don't you?

When I saw that post, I wondered if it was some sort of response to that... apparently not, eh?

And... What are your top five smells?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Lot of backstory there, really. But what doesn't have a backstory in CSI fandom these days, huh?

1. Lavender.
2. Vanilla.
3. Pine.
4. The smell after rain.
5. Newly baked bread.

Top five animal-shaped slippers.

[wiccagirl24.livejournal.com]

Wow, that Conservapedia is... something. I was amused to find that they call their submissions rules "comandments." I was not surprised to find that the words wicca, wiccan and witch have no entries. There was one for pagan, though:

A pagan is someone who beleives in false gods. The First Commandment is, Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
Most pagans are ancient, like the Greeks and Romans, but there are also modern pagans like witches and Muslims, who do not beleive in Jesus.

Muslims are pagans? The only qualification for being a pagan is to belive in anything other than the christian god? Interesting.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Someone seems to be ignorant of the fact that Christian God and Islam God is the same one. Granted, a lot of differences in interpretation exist between the two, but it's the same God. The Qu'ran says so outright, even.

Atheism has an entry, though. OHNOES THE UNBELIEVERS. What's worst of a pagan and an atheist, one wonders.

[neongreenleaf.livejournal.com]

I thought the rule of thumb was to take all Wiki entries with a grain of slat, sometimes a large one?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Apparently, that only counts for every wiki but that one.

[evilstorm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Conservapaedia? Pisses me off for so many reasons, one of which is that I'm a wikignome and goddamnit we work hard to make good entries, fuck'em all.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*pats*

Have a cookie, gnome. I think you do good.

The accusations of being "liberal" thrown at websites by American right-wingers amuse me for two reasons. 1) In many parts of Europe, "liberal" has a quite different meaning and is actually to the right in politics. 2) Liberal compared to what? To the right-winged conservatives in the US? That is a bit like complaining everyone is so far below you when you're on top of a mountain, dude.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

It certainly doesn't take long to spot a certain bias on there.

So... if I were to write a paper that includes faith in every other sentence would that make me more religious than that article?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You should try. Maybe you'll become all saintly.

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

It reminds me how much people who sneer "political correctness" at any sort of use of tact or consideration in society make me want to don a Viking helmet and be very incorrect and violent, though. Argh.

Time to step up the creation of newvinland! Viking ass-kicking would be so refreshing.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Social Democratic Repuplic of New Vinland planning goes on, have no fear.

We've just taken a slight vacation since Bush seems to manage to ruin quite a bit on his own without us stepping in.

[boz4pm.livejournal.com]

*stares in AWE at the LOTR wank* That's just... wow. I just knew LOTR had to have had it's days of wanktacular wankery, and that's just amazingly so. Just this one part as an example: Bit of Earth

Okay, I ask for your top five football players (either on the basis of skill or smexiness - the choice is yours).

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. You can spend a whole day reading all that wank and still boggle.

1. Morten Gamst Pedersen.
2. Fredrik Ljungberg.
3. Fernardo Torres.
4. Kristoffer Hærstad.
5. Nuno Gomez.

That's the sex talking.

[canadian-kazz.livejournal.com]

I'm ticked off at that site too. It's absurd! Their minds are as closed as a water-tight seal. You can have faith and not be a Christian, for crying out loud.

*hobbles off to the wankshelter*

While I'm here, misscam, give me your top five fave. animals.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

What would you like to drink?

1. Cat.
2. Moose.
3. Taipan.
4. Shark.
5. Squirrel.

[littlezink.livejournal.com]

Yes, because only conservatives are acting in the best interest of America. Glad to be set straight on that....

The sad part is that while I consider myself conservative, it appears more and more that I am apparently a godless, liberal, gay-lovin' heathen. Who knew?

Top 5 cartoons.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Well, you could be a Norwegian conservative. Our conervatives have a gay deputy leader, who's married to high-up in finance - and have the city council leader of our capital, who's married to another man who's a priest. Also, they like environmental issues and cuddle kittens.

That the kind of conservative you feel like being?

1. Animaniacs.
2. Pinky and the Brain. (No, I will not count them as one. Shut up.)
3. A cartoon whose name I don't remember about animals being forced to move because a road is being built in their forest.
4. Daffy Duck
5. Trollz, for pure WTF factor.

[cincoflex.livejournal.com]

heh, I was more interested in the wank a few pages LATER, myself. Tempted to make popcorn and just read through the blistered posts . . .

Top Five hairstyles for women, please!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Remember to get a few drinks as well. And yeah, I just picked the post where it started, really.

I shall pick top five hairstyles I like, as I fail at hairstyle fashion.

1. Uneven level of the cut - hair's shorter on top and longer further down.
2. Mini-pigtails in the hair.
3. French-braided.
4. Curly.
5. Put up loosly by a clip.

[grimorie.livejournal.com]

Here via friends' friends.

Little Red Riding Hood. Big bad time in the clothes of grandma TARDIS. Maybe a prince, just without a kingdom. Certainly ever after. But this isn't a fairytale. This is a price to pay.

Oh, this sounds like a lovely premise, there isn't enough dark Rose stories...

[misscam.livejournal.com]

*waves*

Heh, thanks. I think quite a few felt the series went too dark/depressing at the end of series two and didn't want it in their fanfic. Maybe. How one defines "dark" certainly varies. It's not necessarily the same as angst, you know?

*stops self from rambling on*

[herbgurl82.livejournal.com]

Holy Odin's eye, VictoriaBitter returns! OMG. Blast from wanky, wanky LotR past. I was vaguely around for some of this, though it's not the LotR wank I remember the best.

Oh my dear lord. *gets out popcorn and coke, and settles in a nice comfy chair for impending wank-fest*
Someone should totally write up a drinking game based on this whole wank.
(I wish I hadn't given up Bailey's for Lent, or I would do it...)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It would be a game that would get everyone pissed faster than Bush can say "Axis of eeeeeevil".

Which would probably make it a huge hit, mind you.

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

I missed you, misscam!

And yay for fiction writing.

Top Five Colors?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I was gone...?

1. Blue.
2. Northern lights green.
3. Silver.
4. Purple.
5. Tan.

Top five cutest thing kittens do.

[lotus79.livejournal.com]

Oh look, tis me!

We should totally get a picture of our two characters, lotus79, and make terribly geeky icons.

We so should, heh. Oh, and I found the warhorse ability--I swear it wasn't there before! I think maybe I needed to log out for it to register or something. So I have two mounts now. :P And looks like I get epic mount free too when the time comes, whee!

Top five WoW abilities, babe. Yours, or buffs you get from others. :D

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It's you!

We'll do it this weekend. Go kill something somewhere and get pictures. Wheee. Then we can decide which of your mounts look the best, too.

The epic mount is free, but has a quest you have to do, though. Involves going into an instance and killing some stuff. But big sis will be there to help you ;)

Hahaha.

[ashiya.livejournal.com]

I missed your wank round-ups. *hugs*

And Conservapedia? Hilarious. XD

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Awwww :) I think.

They certainly seem to have gotten noticed, I'll give them that.

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

Am steadfastly refusing to click and mock the Conservapedia. There is not enough alcohol in the WORLD to make that okay.

And how about your top five women on television right now?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not even if I tempt with the aquavit?

Right now? Oi. That's harder than five all time favourites. (I took it to mean TV shows that are currently airing - in Norway, as the case will be.)

1. Bailey. Made of awesome.
2. The TARDIS.
3&4. Catherine & Sara (I refuse to rank them, as fandom does enough of that.)
5. Anne Kat Hærland.

Top five fanfics you wish someone would write.

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

Five things you'd really love to learn?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

1. Kung fu.
2. Knitting. (Don't laugh.)
3. Ballroom dancing.
4. Old Norse.
5. Purring.

Tope five weather alerts.

[ericasj.livejournal.com]

Ooooh I think someone got what she deserved, and I think you know who I'm referring to. *grins*

Top five...errrr anything I can think of, it's been asked. Hmph.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I might just have the tiniest inkling, yes. You know, just a wee one.

I shall top five you anyway. Top five stupid fandom statements.

[chem-nerd.livejournal.com]

Why did I click? Why do I ALWAYS click? Conservapedia is SCARY! If anyone needs me, I'll be in the wankshelter. I've got poptarts...

I do find it somewhat amusing that I'm actually a devout Christian, and the crap-for-brains behind conservapedia would probably label me pagan, heretic, or worse. And no bias, my ass! As a friend of mine in high school used to say, they're so bi-assed, they've got two butts!

Top five worst books you've ever read?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Mmm, pop-tarts.

There's conservatives and there's right-wing fucknuttery, if you ask me. I know plenty of nice conservatives in Norway. I disagree with them, but they don't make me want to get sharp objects.

Oooooi. Let me think about that one for a little while. Meanwhile, you can do top five great Latin names for plants/animals/chemicals/etc.

[git-the-goddess.livejournal.com]

*looks at Conservapedia*

Wait... abortion causes breast cancer? *blinks*
"It is undisputed that having a baby protects against breast cancer, and thus early termination of pregnancy must increase the risk of cancer for the mother compared to carrying that same pregnancy to birth."
Wow, and here I got my kitten fixed so she'd have less chance of cancer, and a better life! If only I'd known!

Also, men must be dying from breast cancer like flies!

Then there's what they say about my country:
"New Zealand is part of Oceania.

The early New Zealand population survived by growing bananas, coconuts, yams and taro, and also by raising dogs and pigs. "

Bananas? Coconuts? They aint native plants! And would those be the pigs introduced by europeans?

Um... Top five cutest things?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to picture Maori running banana plants and having a hard time not giggling.

1. Kittens.
2. Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.
3. Gummy Bears.
4. Blue-tongued lizards.
5. Cats.

[aervir.livejournal.com]

Top five comics, please!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Err.

The only two comics I read are Sandman and Donald Duck.

[anybodybutsara.livejournal.com]

CSI wank has gotten sooo boring now...I just don't have the energy...

Frankly, at this point all I stay for is the fanfics I enjoy and the spoilers...

The rest of the idiocy?...I couldn't care less...[YAWN]

Besides...I have my Denny/Izzie clips to keep me happy now...The entire romance from begining to end...All for me...Yay!...

MissCam,
Your 5 favourite Grey's Anatomy quotes, please...

ABS;)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

1. Bailey: I may be forty-seven weeks pregnant. I may be on bed rest. I may not be able to see my own feet. But I AM Dr. Bailey. I hear every thing. I know every thing. I’m watching each and every one of you. And I will return.
2. Meredith: And you and Burke are in?
Cristina: Switzerland. It's very neutral there and they make very nice watches.
3. Cristina: What are you doing?
Meredith: Sitting here with my penis.
4. Derek: No trout for you.
5. Bailey: Do you have a problem?
Izzie: No.
Bailey: Do you have a mocha latte?
Izzie: No.
Bailey: Then go away.

[falena]

Top five things/habits you can't stand in people you have to spend big chunks of time with.

This might be a totally disinterested question. Or not. :P

I saw a feature in the news on internet addiction the other. They kept mentioning this WoW game as one of the main causes, without actually explainining what it stands for or what it is (because Italian journalists like to keep people wondering like that). I kept laughing, thinking of you and lotus, while my family was pestering me to know what this was all about, since I am the resident internet addict here.

I actually had something meaningful to say about fandom grudges, but I forgot. Having the attention span of boiled cabbage sucks.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

WoW. It IS hideously addictive. Which is why you should totally come and play with me and Saz. We're both on the same European server, Burning Blade.

And oooow. I've based this mostly on people've worked with who have annoyed me.

1. No sense of humour.
2. Chauvinism.
3. Bad smell.
4. Very loud voice.
5. No sense of humour.

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Oh holy crap, those are names I recognize. For some reason, this bit made me LOL and LOL and LOL:

Okay, I know that there are people here who ship other ships than the main ones that are shipped on this site. Fine. People can ship who they want. My question is, can those people PROMOTE those other ships? At the expense of the main ship? Make digs/subtle put downs at one half of the main ship?

I kind of want a kitty that has 26 toes =\
