When you see this, post a poem in your journal.

Sure, why not.


Where the Sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

(Shel Silverstein)

If you had me alone, locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you have me do?

edit: all comments screened now, duh.

1. You can ONLY answer Yes or No.

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages or comments you and asks. -- and believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming nothing is exactly as it seems.

Interests meme, last seen on [livejournal.com profile] estaratshirai. Sure, sounds fun; I think my interests (and of course, flist) have changed some since the last time I did this. Pick five of my interests and I'll see if I have anything apposite to say about them. Hee.

Okay I am an idiot. Never mind then.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Sunday I gave [livejournal.com profile] the_misha a kidney (1000 points). Last Thursday I caught a purse-snatcher who stole [livejournal.com profile] rebelfilms's purse (30 points). In March I bought porn for [livejournal.com profile] estaratshirai (-10 points). In January I put money in [livejournal.com profile] blueeyesblazing's expired parking meter (14 points). In April I set [livejournal.com profile] tiggrrl's puppy on fire (-66 points).

Overall, I've been nice (968 points). For Christmas I deserve a Lego set!

Sincerely,
starlightforest

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:


*is horrified by setting a puppy on fire* That should be worth a lot more minus. Maybe we're talking "by accident". But why is buying someone pr0n a minus? Was it not to your taste, [livejournal.com profile] estaratshirai? :P

What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist er, since "friending me" would make more sense? Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the picture of me you have in your head? Post this in your own journal and see how you have surprised people!

R2 = Qui-Gon with Yoda a close third? That's some satisfying results, that is.

Reincarnation Placement Exam )

Ha ha, really? Well, the black cloak is pretty cool; just so long as I don't get set upon by some bloody great snake.

That quiz was really amusing and well-written, actually. I recommend it.

Apparently I got the wireless mouse I am using right now. Wow, was it that long ago?

7/3/06
No posts. On 7/5/06 I was applying for jobs in Ontario.

7/3/05
No posts. On 7/1/05 I posted a link to a cool APOD picture and talked about my net worth. (That post is filtered to a small subset; sorry if you can't see it.) After the big spend-fest that was moving to Canada and back in 2006 and having no job for eight months that year, it's taken me three years to recover to the same point. Almost exactly three years, in fact; last month I again crossed the same threshold mentioned in that post.

7/3/04
Burbling about American and Canadian citizenship tests.

7/3/03
No posts. On 7/2/03 a boring sooper seekrit message to [livejournal.com profile] tyrsalvia about some CDs I left at her house.

7/2/02
No posts. I started this journal in April 2002 but the posting is pretty spotty until December 2002. There aren't any posts at all July-September.
arethinn: Bastian from the Neverending Story with book, text "can't talk, dorking" (geeky (bastian dorking))
I watch zippity-doo-bugger-all television these days, so I had to make up the difference with book fandoms. This is one of those "pick x answers without looking at the questions; ready, set, go!" types of memes.

1. Hitchhiker's Guide, 2. MST3K, 3. Red Dwarf, 4. Harry Potter, 5. Star Trek, 6. Space Ghost

The idea is to go here: http://longboredsurfer.com/charts.php, and for every year you were in high school, pick your favorite then and now, and also the worst one.

Whoops, I mised out worst. Ah well; this is already kinda too long.

1991 )


1992 )


1993 )


1994 )


1995 )

So there you have it. Note the trend of continual decrease in the currency of my knowlege about pop music. It didn't stop there, which is why I just don't get most of Weird Al's last two albums.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Read more... )

5.5 out of 20. Yay! I suck!

I gave a gift to someone else who posted one of these (shh, you know who you are), so I figure it's okay to post, even if I feel kind of funny about it.

Yay, another silly songlist meme. la de frickin' da )
arethinn: glowing green spiral (lol (laugh with roar))
[livejournal.com profile] solarbird posted some wacky stuff that someone in the Idaho state legislature said. I don't want political debate -- I just want to point out the excellent line:

"Divorce is just terrible," Rep. Dick Harwood, R-St. Maries, said. "It's one of Satan's best tools to kill America."

This is up there with the idea that someone "hates freedom", and I thus I wish to release it gently into the meme wilds.

Put your playlist on shuffle/randomize/whatever. Pick off the top ten and add "in my pants" (like with fortune cookies, "in bed", "with an AK-47", "with fish"...).

1. The Wellbeing in my pants (Miguel Graca)

2. Humility in my pants (Covenant)

3. West on Sunset in my pants (Lasswell)

4. Gothic People in my pants (Libetina)
um... more than one of them? [livejournal.com profile] enotsola rather fills this bill, thanks. in fact nobody else I've ever had "in my pants" could really be described as gothic.

5. Bleed in my pants (Razorblade Monalisa)
not usually. I mark my menstrual cycles on the calendar and am never surprised.

6. The Bad Touch in my pants (Bloodhound Gang)
this needs no embellishment.

7. The Devil Went Down to Georgia in my pants (Charlie Daniels Band)
um... he was looking to make a deal?

8. Wicked in my pants (Switchblade Symphony)

9. Granada Deep 2 in my pants (Dylan Drazen)

10. The Other Side of the Line in my pants (Starecase)
