Have those on your friends list comment with a sentence from one of YOUR OWN fanfics. WITHOUT LOOKING, try to guess which fic of yours the sentence is from. If you fail, the challenger wins a drabble request. Post the drabbles on your journal for those who won, listing who it is for.
Go on, then. With over 300 selections on pounce alone, I'm sure to lose!
RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 5 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 5 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs. (I think this is the warden's addition...) suggest that some other bored souls expose their carefully hidden secrets so that I may poke fun at them mercilessly at a later date. Cheers!)
1. I swear really bad at other drivers on the road who are being stupid. Dark, my husband, Nui, and anyone else ever on the phone with me while I'm in the car or actually in the car with me can attest to this. Usually, it is fairly creative swearing and suggestions of impossible things. I learned it from my mother. On occassion, if someone is being an ass and we are at a stop light for enough time, I will roll down the window and blast Queen or Erasure really loud, preferably something dirty.
2. If within reaching distance of a book more than fifty years old, I have an impulse to gently take it from the shelf, open it, check the binding/sewing, check the copyright, check the cover, the spine, the paper it was printed on, the edition, etc. Often I am oblivious of everything happening around me during these times.
3. I have a huge poster of Jim Morrison hanging over my desk in my office at the library. I oft consult with Jim, referring to him as Ecthelion (as that's the model in my mind for how I write Thel). This carries on the tradition from the old library I was at, where there was a full size skeleton, which I pretended was Ecthelion's actually skeleton, preserved, and used for study by Elrond's students. Yes, yes, fantasy collides with reality at times, but who said work had to be dull? Not in New Gondolin! (I also have the crest wall hanging for Hufflepuff, which hangs on the side of my office that patrons can see. They can't see all my nifty behind the scenes signs, including magnets of cowboy Erestor and come hither Glorfindel...)
4. I have letter magnets on my fridge. Three sets of them. I like to just sit on the floor in front of the fridge at 2am and mess around with them from time to time. Right now, the message says:
Word of the Day
Zeniphilas
Quyvux
On the side of the fridge, it says:
Mark
Luvs
Zhie
Husband put that there within a few days of us moving in, and it's been there all these six years now. Above it is the sign that reads 'Just Married' that hung in the back of the car we drove in during our wedding. That sign has been there since the night we arrived. ^_^
I also have two drawings on the fridge (among other things), one from Maggie of her and I kabuki dancing among blue flowers, and one from Nenni of Nibbles wearing a blue bow on her head.
5. Above my desk here, there is only one picture. It is of Erestor as a fairy, in the nude, with torn blue and purple wings. In his hand, he is holding a single golden flower, and his eyes are closed. It's the original, and I absolutely love it. Hanging with it are two feathered masks: The yellow canary mask that my mother and sister found for me, and the green and blue peacock mask. I have masks for the other members of Birds of a Feather, and meant to hang them on the wall, but I never seem to get around to it. The only other thing on the wall is a silver and grey clock that hasn't worked in years and shows the time as 8:38 and 44 seconds.
Go on, then. With over 300 selections on pounce alone, I'm sure to lose!
