I'm back, and I bring memes....
Meme sheep! )

My week went by quickly, and was in some ways successful.  I'll probably write a bit more about it later on... right now I'm going to get up, make some tea and have a shower!

Nicked from [livejournal.com profile] jesspallas. The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

Procrastinating

I should really be writing my presentation for tomorrow, but never mind... instead I'm browsing The Pier website for bed linen and bathroom products and furniture.  Oh, I wish I had money to make my house look all pretty in September!  Some of the furniture I've got there is still flat pack stuff I've had since I was 10, and I'm getting a bit fed up with it really... oh well.  I still plan on making it look a lot more 'grown-up' when I get back, since I will have a living room as well as a bedroom and so on, and no housemates other than Trev!  I'm really looking forward to it. 

I'm also sitting around in my flat waiting for a guy to come who is interested in playing in my band, which should be interesting.  I wanted to get everyone together at once but it just didn't work out today, so I'll just have to find a different time when we're all free.  C'est la vie!

Also, in the spirit of procrastination )

First line from each month

I did this last year, with the first sentence from each month of the year - this time I'm putting the last sentence of each month too, because it's more interesting that way!

January:
'I thought that maybe it would be a tad egotistical of me to do this, but it seems everyone else is, so why not?'

'I'm so excited! YAY!'
That was about Berlin, heh

February:
'February: Write my hp_springsmut fic and also springtimegen fic.'

'And apart from having to get off the bus halfway home so my housemate could vomit, it was all fantastic! So hooray :)'
Oh Emily... that was a good night!!

March:
'Ich hab entscheidet, dass ich naechtes Jahr ein LJ auf Deutsch schreiben werde (auch dieses, natuerlich!).'
Obviously, that should be 'Ich hab entschieden...' At least I've learned one thing here! (although I still get it wrong half the time...)

'Anyway, saw this as an opportunity to pimp my recs journal, which will shortly have some brand new recs on it!! So go here: mk_recs'

April:
'Anyone who knows what those three letters mean may be interested in my news... so, anybody?'

'So, tell me something about yourself, or ask me something about me, or both! Comments are screened :)'

May:
'So. I'm really rather unprepared for exams.'

'Icon is me, tonight. No Trev. :('

June:
'I've been offered the possibility of a really great job over the summer.'

'I'm going to sleep now, because I feel like someone has hit me with a sledgehammer.'
I seem to have spent the whole of May and June in bed. Haha.

July:
'I need to:

Sort out my Flist (by which I mean, purge communities/journals that I routinely skip over. I love each and every one of you but my interests are changing and some of us just don't match anymore :( )'

'I've joined spoil_me_dh and its_a_fake... yes, I caved....'

August:
'In exciting news, I didn't get on TV!'

'Maybe they've learned that, when making prank calls, introducing yourself is not a good idea?!? Hmm....W'
I have no idea what the W is there for...

September:
'Just so you all know... I'm alive, and in Berlin :)'

'My flat is all nice and pretty now though, so as soon as I have net access I'll post some pictures :)'
I only posted one entry in September!! So these are both from the same (very short) post.

October:
'Sooo... Germany. I feel like I've been on a five week Fresher's week.'

'So I think the 11th is going to be parent-phoning day... I'm just hoping I actually know the date by then.'

November:
'AAAAGH. So I sent an email to the woman who organises our grants on Friday, asking if there was any news etc.'
And this is the last you will hear of money things for a LONG LONG time, I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear!

'Agh, the complicatedness of long distance relationships!!'

December:
'I really should talk about Live 07.'

~

Obviously, there isn't a last line for December yet... heh.

stolen from [livejournal.com profile] tree_and_leaf

So, mk-tortie, your LiveJournal reveals...



You are... 6% unique
(blame, for example, your interest in truemmerliteratur)
and 21% herdlike
(partly because you, like everyone else, enjoy winter).
When it comes to friends you are popular. In terms of the way you relate to people, you are keen to please.

Your writing style (based on a recent public entry) is conventional.

Your overall weirdness is: 36

(The average level of weirdness is: 27.
You are weirder than 77% of other LJers.)

Find out what your weirdness level is!


How amusing!

Long meme I did about a year ago. Interesting what's changed!

(Click here to post your own answers for this meme.)

I miss somebody right now.  (Trev - he's gone out with his friends and I haven't seen him all week. But I get to see him tomorrow! Yay!) I don't watch much TV these days.  (Even though I have freeview.. silly!) I own lots of books.  (Kind of a necessity at uni :))
× I wear glasses or contact lenses. × I love to play video games. × I've tried marijuana.
× I've watched porn movies. × I have been the psycho-ex in a past relationship. I believe honesty is usually the best policy.
I curse sometimes. × I have changed a lot mentally over the last year. × I carry my knife/razor everywhere with me.
it goes on... )

I'm being laughed at for this...

You're a LiveJournal Junkie!

Well, maybe you don't live or die for LiveJournal, but it's what gets you up in the morning.

Guilty of reloading your friends page over and over throughout the day? Thought so.

Quick, get some fresh air - before you become a full fledged addict!

Because I'm a music meme whore...

gakked from someone on the [livejournal.com profile] yuletide f-list.

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 15 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

1 Smoke lingers round your fingers...
2 Once in every show, there comes a song like this...
3 3 little birds sat on my window, and they told me I don't need to worry... guessed as Corrinne Bailey Rae ~ Put Your Records On by [livejournal.com profile] bexwivspex
4 Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak...
5 Come down the same worn paths again - do you fly, do you?...
6 First the good news: it's gonna feel very nice...
7 I look at you walk, see the love there that's sleeping...
8 You and your friends, in boxes of ten... guessed as The Feeling ~Rose by [livejournal.com profile] bexwivspex
9 Hand in glove, the sun shines out of her behind...
10 Mrs.... will you... make me tea?...
11 The way we lie, it's better off this way...
12 There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea...
13 Autumn leaves under frozen soles, hungry hands turning soft and old...
14 Put the lights on the tree (put them on the tree, put them on the tree)...
15 A-Louie Louie, oh no, I really gotta go...

Just to give some clues - there are two by the same artist there, four where the title is in the first line (and therefore listed!), one from a musical, one from a film, one is one of my favourite songs ever (and makes me cry), and one is festive (no points for guessing which!)

Um... if you can think of something you want from me, I'll give it to you if you guess right?  (As in drabble, icon... just re-reading that sentence I realise it could mean something more, hehe!)  Also, I waited til the last one had finished to put the music I was listening to for this post, so no clues from there!

[livejournal.com profile] sunnysmile is another friend from the Neighbours board
[livejournal.com profile] tinnidawg friended my recs journal, but I don't ever read that flist, so she(?) ended up as a friend of both my journals!

[livejournal.com profile] winniewoo is another friend from the Neighbours boards, and always has lots to say in her journal :) She's been a good friend!
