What American accent do you have?
Created by Xavier on Memegen.net

Northeastern.
You're probably from somewhere near New York City, possibly north Jersey, or Connecticut or Rhode Island. If you are from New York City you may be one of the types who people never believe when you say you're from New York.

If you are not from here, you are probably one of the following:
(a) A Philadelphian who can't stand the way other Philadelphians say "on";
(b) A Yat from New Orleans; or
(c) Someone from England, Australia, or New Zealand, in which case why are you doing this quiz in the first place?

Take this quiz now - it's easy!

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Current Mood: exhausted

Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV"). The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required!
Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ so that the holiday joy will spread.

THEN...

Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part...
If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes one person's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - do it.
You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf - to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not - it's your call. There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

1. A Spuffy fic featuring Buffy and Spike being sickeningly domestic, added bonus if Xander whines about the fact that Spike is being so good even he can't complain.

2. A happy Leo/Ainsley fic. Possibly with some political drama.

3. A video camera to take on the cruise in February with me. Lending welcome, I promise to return it.

4. An MSR fic, with an actual X-File in the plot. Can also feature DRR if you feel so inclined.

5. The boxed set of CD's from 'Broadway - The American Musical'.

6. Make a charitable donation, preferably to a food bank or homeless shelter.

7. A rental apartment in the NYC area, with a bedroom. I'm working on it, but having a few extra sets of eyes on my side never hurt anything. Must accept cats.

8. If you have kids, or nieces, nephews, little siblings, cousins...Whatever. Some kids around that you know. Play a board game with them. Consider it a mutual gift, to them and to me.

9. If anyone can find an 80's cartoon show called Wildfire (youtube, old VHS tapes...wherever you happen to find it) I would love to have copies. For reference, it was about a girl who was half-fairy, half-human who had a magical horse. Seriously, I'll be thrilled if you can pull this one off. I'm starting to think the whole thing was a figment of my imagination.

nomdiplume is my hero!!! http://www.wildfirecartoon.tk/

10. I'd ask for world peace, but that's a lot to expect from one of you. I'd ask for my brother to come home safe, because that was all I really wanted, but we got lucky and he made it home before Christmas. All of my family and friends are relatively safe, happy, and healthy (with fingers crossed for Mom)...So, I don't think I have anything else to wish for. Although, if anyone knows of a hair color that is really, really good at covering gray hairs and is not tested on animals I would be interested to know what it is. The one I currently use keeps washing out, even with color-safe shampoo.

I'm screening comments on this, and anyone who needs contact info can e-mail me at Willow25.Stories@gmail.com.

Happy Holidays!

Current Mood: contemplative

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.

2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.

3. Include these instructions, and share the love.

I bring you a double header. First, The White Stripes in concert, VA, Summer 2007.

Second, Animals in Costumes! Above, my Dad's dog. Below,

Not much is going on in the World of Me at the moment, but I just wanted to say hey.

Hey! *waves*

So, kazzy_cee posted yesterday in her journal about the jobs we wish we had, and I am turning it into a meme-ish thing, because I am like that.

What job, real or imagined would you love to have? You don't have to be qualified necessarily, but you have to love it. Post yours in comments here, or in your own LJ.

1) Club Owner. I love music, and I love planning parties. This way, I could plan a party every week, and still get holidays off, and there would always be great music.

2) Caterer/Party Planner. I'd have to plan the parties other people wanted, which could be a bummer, and I'd no doubt have to work holidays. But, it would still be awesome.

3) Author. Yeah, I'm technically one now, as many of you have read things I've written, but it would be better to get paid for it.

4) Historian. You can get paid for studying history? o_O How cool is that?

5) Figure Skater. Which makes no sense, since I am actually scared of being on the ice and cannot skate at all. But I still think it would be awesome.

6) Hairdresser. I love to cut and color people's hair; my own has certainly taken the brunt of the abuse over the years.

Current Mood: curious

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a completely made up, fictional memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.

Current Mood: accomplished

Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Diff'rent Strokes and the National Basketball Association.

2) Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the world was upside down before, and now it's right side up? Barcelona

10) -- I've been meaning to tell you - that book you gave me? It's pretty good.

Civilization has ended. Zombies, plague, alien invasion, global warming, ice age, end of oil, death of the bumble bees, whatever. Society as we know it is over. Everyone is back to small groups struggling to stay alive. You are alone when a group of people find you. Why should they let you join up with them? List your helpful attributes, and no fair saying, "I have none, I'm zombie bait." Boo! Think.

1) I can cut hair.
2) I can shear sheep (and other animals).
3) I can make string or yarn from fibrous materials without using electricity.
4) I can use a loom, although not very well.
5) I can sew.
6) I can churn butter.
7) I can make maple syrup from maple trees.
8) I can teach english reading and writing.
9) I have OCD, so I can organize things.
10) I'm good with kids and animals.
11) I can clean just about anything.
12) I can hold my liquor (helpful for standing guard on holidays).
13) I know how to drive a small tractor.
14) I am easily amused, so I will not be likely to go stir crazy and try to break out or hurt anyone else.

Anything else?

I can probably think of another 50 books I am surprised aren't on this list. ~~How is 'The Complete Works of Shakespeare' the only poetry on the list?~~ A better question is, how did I not notice the Sylvia Plath until my fourth read of the list? Who is the 'they' mentioned in the introduction who printed these books, and why didn't they print 'Tom Jones' and other early, genre-creating novels. There is a lot of intellectually and popularly renouned science fiction and fantasy, for adults, yet barely any in these genres are represented.

In short, the list itself confuses me, which was not the point of the meme, I'm sure.

Here are the top 250 movies on IMDb. Bold the ones you've seen.

( Movies )

I think that's 109 that I've seen, but I may have miscounted.

I know I promised another shot to guess one of these, but I've been busy with other things for a couple of days, and I figured I'd just go ahead and put the answers out there. Here are the unguessed:

2) Right. Well, I have to - I have to go now, Duane, because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth. - Annie Hall

4) I have a headache in my entire body. - Seems Like Old Times

5) Let me explain it to you. Mitchell's the man. I'm the idiot. You're the screw-up. And we're all losers. Welcome to music town. -Empire Records

10) I'm an adult. I want to have fun. I want to go to Liverpool and discover the Beatles. - Peggy Sue Got Married

12) "He's three years old, gentle as a kitten, and likes dogs." I wonder whether Mark means that he eats dogs or is fond of them? -Bringing Up Baby

13) Ahh, a bear in his natural habitat - a Studebaker. - The Muppet Movie

This Movie Meme has been making the rounds of my flist, and since I can't think of anything interesting to say, I've decided to do this.

Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
Post them here for everyone to guess.
Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
