I think...I think I want to replace all of my icons with icons of ANIMATED THINGS THAT BRING ME JOY. I don't know if I will, but that is my current urge.

(Now featuring: the titular character of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, that one anime I went kind of crazy about and still really really want to write fic for...some day.)

I feel a bit weird about this urge because I don't really want to pimp Naruto to anyone on my current flist, because directing people through the quagmire of terrible animation and bad pacing that is the first HUNDRED EPISODES while also making sure they obtain knowledge of plot and character details is a Herculanean task only undertaken by mad people or ryokophoenix. (Which is sad, because Shippuuden is made of sheer unadulterated okay, occasionally-adulterated-by-residual-pacing-issues AWESOME and I love all the characters into little tiny pieces, especially my three favourites.) But I WILL whole-heartedly recommend my other icon sources like Death Note and Ouran and AVATAAAAR and of course the abovementioned Haruhi show.

Right -- I am about to do some notetaking, walk to the shopping centre and back, and then do some more notetaking, but after that I may have some free time, so, here's an interesting meme that I stole from bravecows:

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it*. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

The thing about me is that I often don't mind talking about personal aspects of myself, but it never occurs to me to do so. So this is probably a good meme. Have at! If I find a question too weird or personal then I'll tell you so, but you should be fine to ask me anything at all.

*Or, you know, talk about it in a comment. Some of these answers aren't very long!

- Tattoo! Well. I know what I want and where I want it but I won't ever get it on that place because doctors shouldn't have visible tattoos. Maybe someday I'll get one someplace less visible, but to me that rather spoils the whole thing.

- Learn to actually draw (I am hampered in this -- and in learning a lot of things -- because the perfectionist part of me hates producing anything of poor quality).

- Mumble mumble learn the trumpet & play in a band/orchestra. I love trumpets! It would be easy because I've already played euph! All I'd need to do would be to adjust my embouchure and get used to playing from a treble clef. However, it is the least neighbour-friendly instrument ever with the possible exception of drums, so, uh, no.

- I don't know. Write a novel. (I'm starting to realise that my attention span is even more of a handicap here than I'd thought.)

What do you want and where?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

I want and death shall have no dominion on the inside of my left wrist.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Oh, I did know that! :D *smacks head*

I am also on the lookout for something I really like in French -- some sentiment that resonates or something that just sounds wonderful -- to go on the other wrist*. Or maybe just Shakespeare (probably Tempest).

*you know, theoretically. not that it would actually happen. I bet there is something in La Peste that would work, if I had the skills to read the French version.

I'll probably be making another La Peste quotes post later this week ... I was going to do a short one tonight but thought I might be boring people with my endless La Peste babble XD

I don't know if any of it is fragmentable enough, though! There are a lot of sentiments that I think would be appropriate but they tend to be a bit longer than "and death shall have no dominion".

Having one wrist inked, I find it problematic to consider a different message on the other wrist, for fear that they'll be read to go together. I try to imagine reading it: for the joy it brings look up? for the joy it brings if not now? Yikes. But if you had something long like Ji, that might actually be helpful.

...

Sorry, I'll go now.

That is true, actually. Hmm. French would avoid that problem :D

Well, if ever there was a tattoo I would not object to my doctor having...

I'm just saying.

Sends a positive message!

That would be the best tattoo EVER.
