brandi should wrap herself in bubble wrap

Please, help reduce my school-related stress!

Comment below and I will tell you which of your characters that I've played against are my favorites and why I love them. Then repost this in your own journal.

+ Pick 20 of your favorite movies.
+ Go to imdb.com 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.
+ Using google is right out.

Comments are screened, for now, to allow for more people to have the chance to guess. Bonus points if you can name who said the quote (or one or more of the names in multi-person quotes).

( Les quotes! )

( Character height meme-thing that everyone else is doing. )

Snagging a page from Kate's book (which, really, we had the same idea, she just posted it first xD) and reposting the unguessed lyrics from the song lyrics meme, possibly with a clue or two thrown in.

( The poor, unloved, unguessed. )

1. 30 songs! iTunes! Shuffle!
--- addendums: no audiobooks, memos, playcount must be greater than 1, no repeat artists
2. First line!
3. Guess! (Title and artist, plzkthnx)
4. No Google!
5. Whoever gets the most gets ... something.

... except I did 50 because I can't follow rules, either. >>

( Lyrics. )

So, memes! (Which have been stolen from just about everybody and their mother, apparently.)

Be sure to specify which meme you're requesting for each character!

A. Give me one of my characters, past or present, and I'll answer the following questions for them:
1. Does your character believe in true love or soul mates? Love at first sight?
2. Are they or have they ever been in love?
3. What are their general feelings about sex?
4. How do they feel about sex without love?
5. What about sex before marriage?
6. What counts as cheating and is cheating forgivable?
7. Have they or would they ever cheat?
8. Are they a virgin?
9. First partner? Most recent?
10. What sort of experience do they have with sex?
11. Do they have any fetishes or fantasies?
12. How comfortable are they with their body?
13. With their partner's body?
14. Who gave them "The Talk"?
15. Do they have any special skills?
16. Post-sex habits? Weird habits? Anything else?


B. Give me one of my characters (and one of yours, for #3), and I'll show you ...
5 icons that I feel best represent them
4 icons I don't use often enough
3 icons that best represent my character's feelings towards yours
2 icons that are my favorites
1 icon that doesn't really fit the character, but I can't live without.

(Even if I've already done this one for a character, if you want I'll do #3 for your character, anyway)

Since Wolfie likened this to the testimonials that GJ had ...

Leave me a testimonial! A little blurb for my profile for this journal. I swear, whatever you write, I will put it up.

And I'll link to this post in my userinfo, too. :)

Cross your fingers that I don't

a.) go insane
b.) kill a patron
c.) scream
d.) all of the above

tonight.



In case I survive and don't go to jail, a meme (which will be answered tomorrow or something):

Name me one of my characters, and I'll tell you the inspiration(s) behind their initial conception, whether they be real-life people or fictional characters.

Say something nice about a) a character of mine, b) a log of mine, or c) my writing/RPing style. Don't have to do all three, and it doesn't have to be long, but be kind with the intent of making me smile! Post in your journal, and I'll do the same for you and yours.

I feel like meme-ing it up lately. So I dug through my journal and found a meme I haven't done in a while. :D

Name one of my characters and one of yours. I'll show you three icons displaying expressions that my character frequently makes (or MADE) when interacting with yours, and explain why.

The more recent the character, the more likely I'll respond because, well. They're more fresh in my mind. GJ characters are out, since I can't even reference their journals.

The name your character's bits meme! Go here, fill in your character's name and gender, and paste the results.

( Awww, look. My characters are in their very own pornos. )

The Rated-R Meme. Comment with a character of mine, and I'll give you three random bits of trivia about their sexual practices, preferences, experiences, fantasies, kinks, or something along those lines. Feel free to mention multiple characters or a character multiple times. Present games only, please!

Quotes from 50 different movies. Blah blah, don't cheat, blah blah, guess however many you want.

I don't know if I ever did this one, so! I'm gonna steal it from Khushi:

You give me a pairing and color, and I'll give you a sentence (or 2.. or 3..).

Go to the baby names section of parenting.com and find out what sort of description they put under the characters' names.

( Current characters. )

( Prospective characters. )

Added bonus:

Brandi (which is only listed as "a variation of Brandy" >O)
Dutch, "Distilled wine"
The beauty-pageant/cocktail waitress name Brandy hit its peak in the 1980s and has been heading downhill ever since. If you love this name, why not try Brandon, and give her the option of a more serious side when she gets older?

... WTF?! WHO WOULD NAME THEIR DAUGHTER BRANDON?! (Plus, that's my ex-boyfriend's name, which automatically makes me >O about it.)

I AM A FINE GIRL, DAMMIT.
