a++ would smuggle into space again

I have just made a discovery I can only describe as "baffling."

In sixth grade (...presumably), I drew four strips of a comic entitled "Tipper" about the adventures of President Gore and his wife.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

I would post them, but they are totally indecipherable to anyone who isn't me, and even then I'm having some trouble. For example, the last one is three panels of a voting booth--

PANEL ONE
(NADER, in a mask, steps into a voting booth.)
NADER: Shh, don't be afraid. Just step out quietly.

PANEL TWO
(Lieberman approaches the booth.)
LIEBERMAN: You were right!
NADER FROM BOOTH: WHAT IS IT? WHO'S DETRACTING FROM MY MOMENT OF TRIUMPH?

PANEL THREE
NARRATION: The deciding vote.
LIEBERMAN FROM BOOTH: NADER?!

Now this is fine, except for that I'm only guessing it's Nader in the first panel -- he could be a secret service agent or something -- the word "detracting" is totally illegible, and Lieberman is identifiable only by his tiny, malformed Jewish star. I apparently thought art was something that happened to other people.

Seriously, though, why would anyone draw a comic about Tipper Gore?

That pass a note meme? But as y'all know, anon is always welcome over here, nice or otherwise.

And while I'm being a dumbass in the grand internet tradition, the meme with the rules "lol you can't tell anyone the questions unless they're doing it too pressure pressure HAHAH." There were other rules, but I forgot them. ( thirty answers. )

I would do that "where characters come from" même, but I'm sure everybody's seen Juilliard in half a dozen movies before, Ji has shamed me with her literary references (oh god felix comes from pulp fiction and stereotypes ji screw you), and nobody really cares. So I will just say that I think Josh came from the fluffy pink lagoon and leave it at that.

Today I discovered that one can watch ( three separate episodes of Coupling and not get bored. )

Also, courtesy of newredshoes, there's this other meme where you can turn your subject lines into cat macros. The beauty of this is that all my subject lines are song lyrics and quotes. I present to you the best three cat macros, ever:

( Josh Ritter is a kitten? )

A crack theory, for those of you who rock and have read Abhorsen and Young Wizards:

Ranna = Filif
Mosrael = Dairine
Kibeth = Ponch (= Disreputable Dog)
Dyrim = Sker'ret
Belgaer = Nita
Saraneth = Kit
Astarael = Darryl
Yrael = Roshaun
Orannis = THE LONE POWER, YOU IDIOT.

IT IS SCARY HOW APT THIS IS. FOR REALS.

Tell me why the meaning of life is sunflowers.

Itemised musings on mostly related topics:

1) When rereading Beauty in hopes of reinspiring oneself to continue writing the fairytale one has been working on, it is considered unseemly to develop a crush on the Beast. I am deeply ashamed.

2) Also, it's a very bad sign that when I reached this passage: "Well, go on," he said gruffly, with a wave of one arm. "I know you are longing to escape. I shan't follow you." I thought Alden!

3) Even if it totally is Alden.

4) But Beauty's reminding me very much of Lily. Really. *g* Sharp temper + obsession with knowing things + practicality.

5) Which means that I apparently now ship Alden/Lily.

6) Ok, I'm disturbed.

7) It is very very amusing to me that I was reading a story about Beauty and the Beast with my hair up in a bun and wearing a skirt in what I think of as my "desperate attempt to be Belle" style while walking down the street and reading and waving absently to cashiers and the like.

8) Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel, by the first sentence, looks to be very good and I am so happy I got it out of the library.

9) Gordo's Burritos are some of the most wonderful gifts of the world.

10) Today looks almost as good as yesterday, and it is only almost as good because nothing could top yesterday.

Feeling very, very spammy today. Updated my profile, with some references and explanations.

I know a grand total of one person who fits all those criteria. It's me. I love that. I finally have a definition of myself that I recognize. And it's in what I geek about.
