Bandolero by Day

I used to think that I could never possibly tire of reading about gamma ray bursts. I was somewhat mistaken.

HOMEWORK BREAK MEME. Lo, I have summed up ten "fandoms" in ten sentences. CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THEY ARE? I can't. And I thought I was bad at the lyric meme.

If anyone can guess number four, I will let you bear my children.

1. Reincarnated with better hair.

2. Meat jello and prehensile genitalia. - Babylon 5 (metonymy)

3. The gods of our enemies are all melty and flakey. - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (rotsman)

4. It's like Pokemon, but with symbiotic arm bands and psychedelic fog.

5. The neediest narrator in the history of the first-person viewpoint.

6. Dad left home and replaced me with a lizard. :( - Heroes (hearsawho)

7. The genderless blobs are always the first to go.

8. Single-handedly introducing heraldry to Generation Y. - Harry Potter (rotsman)

9. The best way to understand ancient texts is to really, really, REALLY invest yourself in them. - Fushigi Yuugi (rotsman)

10. For those who like their musicals within musicals to POP (and also BANG and KABOOM). - The Producers (urrah)

Saturday I was supposed to go to the RenFest with weyrcat and company, but instead I slept and slept and slept like I didn't sleep all last week, and it felt GOOD. And since I wasn't driving home from the next county over Saturday night (Arizona counties being larger than most states, which is only a slight exaggeration) I decided instead to hang out with my parents, because they're cool and I have to make up for all those teenaged years when I thought they were uncool.

So we went to the local AA potluck and got to hear a man with 50 years of sobriety talk about his experiences before and in the program. This may not sound particularly interesting to most of you, but it was, in fact, awesome. The man talked about his time as a fighter pilot in WWII and showing up at Pearl Harbor on December tenth and growing up with a father who worked as a bootlegger during prohibition and used awesome turns of phrase like "I had the world by the coattails on a downhill drag" and "I'm here because I'm not all there" and just... LOADS of awesome. I laughed so hard my chewing gum fell out of my mouth.

I feel really fortunate that I get to hear speakers like this every couple of months. If my parents weren't in AA or didn't want me to attend meetings and get-togethers with them there are so many amazing stories that I just never would have heard.

Then today I finished all of this week's anthropology homework instead of waiting until thirty minutes before class like I usually do. 10 points for me.

Also, I feel that I should note that, even though it hasn't opened yet, Three Wishes (and consequently Fushigi Yuugi) has eaten parts of my brain.

ETA: I don't know why the hell this made me laugh as hard as it did, but, well... yeah. (I can't see dogs.)

Just the one.

Well, there are others, but they are infidels who will die by my mighty fist, or perhaps I'll just make faces at them. At any rate, I have interview answers! You see, I was waiting for all and sundry to FORGET about them, and... well, no. I had no such nefarious plans. I never have plans, let alone nefarious ones.

Anyway, interview meme, and so forth, you can still request questions if you want some, much Pez to nobara and skyfrog for their questions, respectively. <3 It's heart-shaped Pez.
