Adde parvum parvo magnus acervus erit

More memage...we'll see when the saturation point hits. I first encountered it through sanj, and have adopted wavyarms's edits, and then made a minor edit of my own.

Who are you?
If we've met, when and how did we meet?
What event or place would you like to go to with me?
Would you kiss me?
Describe me in one word.
What was your first impression?
How has your impression of me changed? (Did it?)
What reminds you of me?
If you could give me anything what would it be?
If you could give me one book what would it be?
When's the last time you saw me?
Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
What do you think the future holds for me in the next 10 years that I don't expect?
What have I gotten absolutely right? Could be an event, a life philosophy, a piece of advice, a joke, anything.
What have I said/done that made you laugh the hardest?
Are you going to put this on your blog and see what I say about you?

Also, I was toying with an LJ haiku generator and produced this gem:
rule and then it
continued to rule and
then it ruled some

I leave you with that.

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Seventh Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	High
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	High
Level 2 (Lustful)	High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	Moderate
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	Very Low
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	Very Low
Level 7 (Violent)	Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	Very Low

Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test

Weird. I'd have expected far more in the heresy, less in the "Virtuous Nonbelievers", and...violent?

...Well, okay, I did play GTA Vice City tonight. And I did run over pedestrians right, left, and center. But the way they bounce off the hood is just so satisfying!

The following are six statements about myself and my identical twin stealthmuffin. Three are true. Three are false. Can you guess which? (Note: a false statement is entirely false.)

1. We had the same combined score on the SATs.
2. We had matching Star Trek: TNG costumes.
3. One of us GMed the first game the other ever played.
4. Ours is the fourth generation in our family to go to college.
5. One of us had a crush on Captain Haddock, and one on Tintin.
6. When we were nine, both of us were rushed to the hospital within weeks of each other (one proved to be a false alarm).

stealthmuffin is posting a completely different list of six true and false statements. Double your twin-quizzy fun!

My laptop is...contrary.
Occasionally, power flow to the keyboard will just stop dead. Apparently all it needs is either a) time to rest, or b)a good whack.

Anyway. Here's the entry I was writing when it died, died, died.

I've been fairly anxious about posting this meme, because it is, in effect, asking for stuff. And I dislike the idea of begging, or *strongly hinting*...

...but, really, I love the feeling of being able to act on someone else's wishlist. (2h2o, you will have some cds to claim!) And so I want to see more of them. With tangible or intangible wishes, with stuff I can help with and stuff I can't...

Anyway. Here is the wishlist meme! ( Read more... )

Ten years ago, I;
had a crush on my Biology teacher, who looked like Christopher Reeve
was trying to think of smart college entrance essays
hung plaid curtains in my dorm windows

Five years ago, I;
learned the fine art of cleaning up cat yak
made some new friends from Connecticut in Somerville
was struggling with my first professional, real job

One year ago, I;
led my players into the town of Clepsis, full of crime, temples, sorcery, and ditz elementals
made a silk tulle tutu for an actress's 3-year-old so she could look like her mom
was starting to tell people that I was interested in graduate study

So far this year, I;
have not shied away from my decision to pursue graduate study (tho the application's still not in)
have walked on the seashore at night while the moon rose, holding hands and looking for turtles
learned to use my grandmother's loom

Yesterday, I;
gave platelets at seven in the morning while reading a Thomas Covenant book
started my first official day of work as a Harvard Staff Assistant (III) (helping with tenure committees)
went to bed after DaMan, which is extremely rare

Today, I;
finished my paper by getting up at five and working through lunch, but didn't have to work on it during work hours
set up four final packages for four promotions to professor
will be going to sleep early surrounded by Law & Order and Zim and Oob while Mike goes to poker night
(and will also call my younger sib, I got your message!)

Tomorrow, I will;
wreak screaming underground doom on my players
figure out how and when twin and I will be going home for Christmas
try to define my new job responsibilities

In one year, I hope I;
am working through midterms at divinity school
have finished quilts for sibling and cousin
sleep in on weekend mornings among flannel sheets in a big bed next to DaMan and DaOob

In five years, I;
will have started to save for a house
will be working on my dissertation (no reason to delay it!)
will see my younger sib more than once a year for two days


No more Red Bull and gin for me, thanks, I'm jiggly. (Or is that Gigli?)

--I reopened my file with John Leonard Temps yesterday, and they had a job for me today. Sadly, I'm too quick with data entry; my work was over by three. Well, it means more contracts in the future, right?

--Sent out four more applications to Hahvahd jobs. Hooking up with Spherion on Thursday, but ultimately, the purpose of this year is to break things and kill people do something interesting or make money. So Hahvahd does not need to be any part of that.

--Thanks for the name suggestions! The characters will be put together tonight, whilst DaMan putters or composes or plays on the GameCube.

--( And now I get a cricket bat! )

Sure, why not?
(Update on the job thing coming on Tuesday...)

Part of being on Livejournal.com is inevitably gaining a number of LJ buddies. Unfortunately, as time wears on, it's easy to forget where all of them came from. Post this in your journal and have your friends respond with how they recall first 'meeting' you.

It would probably be fairer to ask about people's earliest memories of me, since I've found it nigh impossible to remember actual initial meetings. Daring folks are also welcome to note their first impressions of me.

Easy meme! Composed by 2h2o!

What kind of geek are you? This Simple and Fun LJ Quiz is a simple and fun way to let all your geek friends know more about you - and if you're not a geek, you can ridicule the rest of us.

1) If you were a Smurf, your name would be:
Stitchy Smurf (also Bitchy Smurf, once a month).
2) If you were a Star Wars character, your name would be:
Jedi Master Mrs. Windu.
3) If you were a Super Hero, your special power would be:
Obfuscation!
4) If you were an Iron Chef, your cuisine type would be:
Anti-Muffin Chef!
5) If you were a theme ingredient on Iron Chef, you would be:
Mango. Mostly to hear Kaga say my name over and over.
6) If you were junk food, you would be:
A variety of Peep. Probably blue. With some disturbing not-meant-for-marshmallow flavor.
7a) If you were a D&D character, your race would be:
Dwarf. Duh.
7b) and your class would be:
Cleric. Not sure what level yet, though.
7c) and your prestige class would be:
I spit on your prestige class! Foo! Or, really, I don't have a smartass answer to this one.
8) If your life inspired a Sci-Fi Channel Original Series, it would be called:
"The Angst Files"
9) At what age did you realize that you were a geek?
Twelve. Wanted to buy Dragon Magazines, but didn't understand the game. Before, I was "smart kid", but that's different from geek.

Right. I'm sleepy and bored, so the remaining costumes must wait till after this pointless-yet-fun little meme.

( same old lyrics meme )

There are two memes going around right now, and I like them both:

1. Post a memory you have of me in the comments section. Yay, memory!

2. Post a memory of me that never happened! Surreal, silly, serious, funkagroovalicious...

And also, here is a toy that's pretty cool. My results are:

I couldn’t even see the illustrations, from the cheap to the 'rents. So much for that detailed entry about my lustful, debauched orgy of Peeps and Pokemon. Pokemon: The First Movie maps disturbingly well onto Rocky Horror. Not that I got all the panes are the same tendency that scorned Snow Crash? Or is this pedantic irritation? Or does the book down to do with my tank top unzipped, sipping Drambuie to put it into some organized form. You see, there was this guy I used to date--no, not any of the Great Goddess flourished in all lands…” and the

Whoa. Combine that with my platelet-loss and it's a fun evening.
