misscamI was having troubles sleeping, so I made a little meme and here it is. You can do it if you like nad post it in your own journal if you'd like that.
1. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
2. If you could ensure one thing about me never changes, what would that be?
3. The day pigs fly and hell freezes over, I...:
4. If I'd had a past life, who or what would I have been and what caused you to pick that in particular?
5. In the Agatha Christie version of my life, who ended up killing me, how was it done and what was his/her/their motive? Or alternatively, who did I kill, how did I do it and what was my motive?
(Obviously, question three is about what you'd never, ever see me doing and in question five the murder should be Christie-style.)
And then a meme I filled out that's been wandering around my friends list.
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says.

10. Did you dream last night?
Not that I can remember.
11. When did you last laugh?
Yesterday evening.
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Various art, pictures from Australia, a movie poster, a cartoon about the Mars landing
13. Seen anything weird lately?
Yupyup. Saw a car do a manoeuvre that shouldn't be physically possible in this world.

19. Do you like to dance?
No great fan of it, no.
20. George Bush: is he a power-crazy nut case or someone who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?
I pick option number one, your honour.
21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
Rita or Alexandra.
22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
Magnus - or if I do marry a Scot; Ian.
23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
I already have lived abroad. Would I do it again for a certain preiod of time? Sure.
Onto another subject...
I tend to get a steady trinkle of feedback, mostly for OFUM. Which is nice enough, feedback should always be appreciated. But why oh why must some of them use the exclamation point at the end of every sentence! AND SOMETIMES CAPITALISE A WHOLE REVIEW! I'm not deaf, y'know. Shouting is not required. And for the love of Freya, don't talk about 'ur fic'. Ur fic would be fanfic about the Babylonian city of Ur. Don't make me hurt you...
Hmm, perhaps there should be some kind of OFUM-seminar on the art of reviewing?
I do get some fun reviews, like this one I got on Nocturne:Why? Why? Why? Was writing a huge OFUM Student slash not satisfying enough?!?! I love your work, but why? why? why? is it to spite all the Legolas MarySue's? Did
you crack? Please tell me why!
I'm not sure if she means the 'did you crack?' as in 'did you go bonkers?', 'did you do crack?' or 'did you collapse under strain?' but it amused me more than anything else. I guess I'm evil like that.
And MarySue's. Ooooooow... It burnsssss, precioussss. Burnssss! Which reminds me - two most amusing minis I've found this week. I present to you -
Altar and Sarong!
