I am posting some memes and you can't stop me!!

:O

From [livejournal.com profile] enough_space

Comment if you'd like a color. Then list ten things that you like/love which are that color.


1. Uchiha Sasuke's purple fucking assbow. No wait, that's something I hate. ...OR IS IT. Eh, all I know is that it sure does make him look pregnant.
2. Chrome's... hair? Mist is purple, isn't it? Or is that cloud?
3. Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. Coolness personified.
4. Blueberry pie. MMM DELICIOUS.
5. Visited links. The web's way of letting you know "HEY YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN HERE, STUPID."
6. Sunsets. There is nothing else in this world so epic-feeling as a sunset.
7. My cell phone. It's an LG CU515 and is pretty damn simple as far as phones go, but I love it.
8. GameCube! Not Nintendo's best console, but certainly not a bad one. I have a lot of fond memories of playing SSB Melee and Naruto GNT on my old Gamecube.
9. Firefox has some awesome purple-themed personas; here's one I'm using right now.
10. Dorayaki! Yeah, I know they call it red bean paste but it's totally purple, stfu. XD

That took some doing to get it up to ten, but I made it!

And I got tagged by [livejournal.com profile] irtiolre to do that meme that everyone and their grandma has already done before me.

The Meme:

♠ If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new question.
♠ Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
Haha that's not going to happen. XD BUT ANYWAY.


#01 What song are you currently addicted to?
30 Seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens. This is the song that's currently quoted in my layout and oh my god it is fucking amazing.

#02 What books are you currently reading?
Just finishing up Good Book by David Plotz, and before that it was the first two books in The Hunger Games series. Before that was The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, which is now one of my all-time favorites. I've been reading a lot of amazing books lately. Don't know what I'll try next, though.

#03 What was the last movie you saw?
How to Train Your Dragon, which was incredibly good. Like, Pixar good. I saw it twice, I loved it so much. *_* And tonight I'm seeing Kick-Ass, which I've been looking forward to.

#04 ZOMBIES OR ROBOTS:
Robots, man. Zombies are boring.

#05 Cats or dogs?
Cats. They're less work and I am a lazy person. XD

#06 What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
IT'S KHR, GUYS. IN CASE YOU DIDN'T GUESS.

#07 What's your favorite character/band member/actor etc?
Probably Gokudera, right now.

#08 What side of the bed do you sleep on?
I don't have a preferred side that I know of...? Maybe I sleep on the left side slightly more than the right, I dunno. I've never really thought about it.

#09 What was the last thing you bought?
A Snickers bar from a vending machine. Cuz I was hungry and apparently when you're hungry you're supposed to grab one of those? ???

#10 Would you rather date a good singer, or a good cook?
A good cook. I have no idea why someone would list "good singer" as one of their pros for dating someone. WHO EVEN CARES idk. But cooking, that's different. I'd love to date someone who was a really good cook and could maybe teach me (because I? Am not a good cook XD).

#11 If you could only listen to one band or singer for the rest of your life who would it be?
Um... it's a tossup between Radiohead and Third Eye Blind. Radiohead would allow for more variety, but I think I might go with 3EB just because their music is generally less depressing.

#12 What do you do to change your mood?
Read or listen to music, I guess.

#13 What was the last meal you ate?
Spinach alfredo pasta; leftovers from last night. Tasty.

#14 Do you want to learn another language?
I really need to learn Spanish one of these days. Not only does half my family speak it and I can't (which is embarrassing), but I've also got someone coming up to me at least once every other week and talking to me in Spanish because they assume I can speak it, which is also embarrassing because then I have to explain that I can't. XD It's definitely on my list of things to do within the next few years.

#15 Five things you can't live without.
Food, water, shelter, family, Internet.

#16 Find the closest book currently sitting near you and flip to page 54. What is the first sentence of the second paragraph?
This brings us to the end of Exodus. Like I said, I'm reading Good Book by David Plotz, which is basically one guy's random musings as he works his way through the Hebrew bible. So.

#17 What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
I hope you feel better. :(

#18 What are you looking forward to?
Summer, doing summery things. Certain movies coming out. The series finale of Lost. The next chapter of KHR. All sorts of random things.

#19 What is playing out of your speakers, right now?
Nothing? Before that it was the two Youtube videos that I linked in this post. And before that, it was nothing once again! EXCITING.

Lastly, I took this meme because everyone was doing it.

i've always wanted to tell you


Haha. Well, that was fun.

Awww zombies aren't boring! They're cute! :C I like how they shamble about aimlessly! before taking a pistol to their head and blowing it off lolololololol

AND THIRD EYE BLIND! I'm sad to say I only know semi-charmed life but by god was that a freakin' awesome song!

GIMME A COLOUR ANYWAY! :D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
But they're all the same, all they do is moan and groan and bleed and try to eat people. XD

THIRD EYE BLIND IS POSSIBLY MY FAVORITE BAND EVER. Because I am obligated to, have some Youtube links: Motorcycle Drive By, Tattoo of the Sun, God of Wine, and A Bonfire. Those are just a few of my favorites, because if I listed them all WE WOULD BE HERE ALL DAY, OKAY.

And as for colors, how about red?

[identity profile] chibikaya.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
But that's why they're cute! Robots are so... unfeeling. Okay it's not much of a reason when compared with zombies but still. XD There's some distinction there! /FAIL

Ooooh! :D I like God of Win especially! And haha I know that feeling, it's the same with me for RHCP or FOB or Queen. XD

Okay red it is! :D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey! Hey! Robots are hilarious. :|

Heh, I think we would probably be in the same boat for RHCP. They're one of my favorites too.

*anticipates!*

[identity profile] escherichiacola.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. Coolness personified.

Oh yes.

And HTTYD was so much ❤

Been hesitant to see Kick-Ass because I'm not a fan of the comic (or Mark Millar) but I might as well break down and go.


[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I really hope HTTYD wins the animated film award at the Oscars next year. Because unless Toy Story 3 turns out to be THE BEST MOVIE EVER SOMEHOW (which I can't imagine how that could happen, although it does look funny), it really deserves it.

I haven't read the comic, but I've been wanting to see the movie ever since the trailers started popping up on Youtube. It just looks awesome. XD

[identity profile] rikasaurus.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
SSBM is the best thing to happen to the Gamecube. That, and Mario Kart Double Dash XD

OH YEAH I HAD NO IDEA KHR WAS YOUR MAIN FANDOM :OOOOO

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
The GameCube had a pretty decent lineup, actually. SSBM, Paper Mario, the original Animal Crossing, Wave Race Blue Storm, Metroid Prime, RE4... really, not bad. Not a huge fan of Double Dash, though. But that's mostly because I'm a loyalist to Mario Kart 64. XD

I KNOW, IT'S KIND OF OUT OF THE BLUE. SINCE I SO RARELY TALK ABOUT IT. XD

[identity profile] rikasaurus.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah I forgot about Animal Crossing. I never played it, but I do hear it's a great game. And, yeah, Mario Kart 64 will always be awesome XD

IT'S JUST SO SHOCKING :O

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasted so many hours because of the addictiveness of that game. XD Indeed. If I had to make a list of my top ten... or maybe twenty video games of all time, I'm pretty sure that would make the list.

I'M SURE I MUST HAVE MENTIONED IT ONCE OR TWICE, THOUGH.

[identity profile] ojuzu.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Being a good cook isn't hard, though! :D You just have to find a good set of cookbooks and figure out the standard shorthand (e.g. "add beans" means "drain & rinse beans, then add", "bake 12-16 minutes" means "start checking them at ten", and "mince" means "1/16th-of-an-inch pieces, only ever applicable to garlic").

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I know in theory it shouldn't be difficult as long as you follow the recipe, but in practice it just takes me forever to make even the simplest things, and I have to be really meticulous and even then I usually make really stupid mistakes. And I must have some sort of mental block or something, because even when I do cook something and it turns out all right, I'll try to make it again a week or two later and I'll have forgotten everything and it's like I have to start the learning process all over again. XD

IN SHORT I AM A COOKING FAILURE.

[identity profile] ojuzu.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, I tend to be really slow at cooking myself. WHY DOES IT TAKE AN HOUR AND A HALF TO MAKE DINNER. ;_;

What kind of mistakes? *curious*

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly burning things and the like. Last time I tried to make stir fry I nearly killed myself by overheating the cooking oil. It started bubbling and making popping noises and I was like AHHH AHHH NOOOOO. And I accidentally let things overboil a lot. And I have burned rice more than once (unfortunately we don't have a rice cooker), which is embarrassing because I am half Puerto Rican and rice and beans is what we do. SUPPOSEDLY.

Basically stuff like that. XD

[identity profile] ojuzu.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I used to do that a LOT. I think I solved it by starting to listen to podcasts, so I didn't get engrossed in a book while cooking. >.> Also, keeping a glass of warm-but-not-boiling water next to the stove is a good idea, so if something overboils you can just pour an equivalent of water back in, and it'll stay not-boiling long enough for you to turn the heat down a little.


BTW, I recently found an almost-foolproof (I'm just waiting to goof it up, but I haven't yet) way to cook rice! Put 2 cups of rice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups of water in a two-quart pot, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, heat a second burner at just-hot-enough-to-keep-something-boiling temperature (no idea what this'll be on your stove -- for me it's about 1/3 of the way around the dial) and when the rice boils, move it to that burner for five minutes. (A timer is good.) Then turn it down not quite as low as it will go and cook it for another 20 minutes.

It makes a lot of rice, but you could probably scale it back by half with a smaller pot. I haven't managed to burn rice this way yet, although I think I've overcooked it a few times. ;)

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Re: cooking rice: I will try that! "Foolproof" sounds pretty encouraging, even with the "almost" in front of it. XD One of these days I'll managa it without any mishaps. Anyways, thanks!

PURPLE HAZE <3<3<3

Ahh GameCube. Did you play Zelda? It had like...three no four no five XDD of the games on GameCube. (or ported to it)

Hmm it seems everyone says that How to Train Your Dragon is a good movie. Now I'm curious to see it myself.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Hendrix is a god. |D

OH WOW HOW DID I FORGET ZELDA? Well, I suppose Wind Waker was the only really GameCube Zelda, actually, but I still enjoyed it. And I did have the bonus disk with the four other games (including Ocarina, my all-time favorite game... possibly my all-time favorite anything >_>), so that was nice too. But yeah, I'm a huge Zelda fan.

HtTYD is an amazing movie and I highly recommend it. It's funny (and not in the dumb, pop culture-referencing Shrek way--no offense to Shrek fans XD--but really, actually funny), the characters are great, the animation is incredible, and it's just really well-written. Like I said, I saw it twice, and it was just as good the second time (which is high praise from me; even Up was a little dull the second time around imo). I JUST REALLY LIKED IT, CAN YOU TELL? XD

[identity profile] irtiolre.livejournal.com 2010-04-24 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
He is. <3

FFFF YOU HAD THE BONUS DISK?! ;A; LUCKY PERSON. Omg, did you hear of the new Zelda coming out? There hasn't really been many details but STILL. IT'S BEEN TOO LONNNNG 8'D

Oh good. I thought it was going to be like Shrek (glad to see that someone else thought Shrek was not that wonderful). NOW I MUST SEE IT. :O

[identity profile] ekmisao.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Cloud is violet, mist is indigo. ^^v

Color please. ^^

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, close enough. XD

Orange?

[identity profile] charpieinuse.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm so in love with How To Train Your Dragon. I'm pretty sure I've seen it at least six times.

I totally hear you on the Spanish thing. About 11/12th of my family speaks it and I pretty much don't. Not to mention I live in an area where 1/2 of the people you meet speak it.

Color please?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
It is so good. I adore it. <3

Sob, yeah, that just about sums up my experience. XD

And I'll go with yellow, since I'm apparently going in Roy G. Biv order here.

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I am not one for mpreg but for some reason the thought of pregnant Sasuke is hot...and scary.
omg that Jimi Hendrix live *__* IT LOOKS SO EASY FOR HIM
Funny how blueberries are purple...

Kings and Queens is all kinds of soaring epic sauce, I love it.

I want a color! I think I'm going to steal the second one too XD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, mpreg weirds me out, but I do confess to having read at least one SasuNaru (or I guess it was more NaruSasu, actually) mpreg fic that I kinda liked. I forget what it was now... oh well, whatever. XD ANYWAY, THOSE CLOTHES MAKE HIM LOOK FAT IS BASICALLY WHAT I'M SAYING.

I KNOW RIGHT? It's like he just taps his fingers, and magic happens with that guitar.

I guess 'purpleberry' doesn't have as much of a ring to it?

That song just makes me want to take off and fly and save the fucking world. *_*

And you get green! HAVE FUN. |D

[identity profile] aroundight.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what you're talking about "How to Disappear Completely" is uplifting!

I might refer to blueberries as purpleberries forever. 8D



I want a color!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-21 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
SO UPLIFTING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING. XD

Lol, it does have accuracy going for it if nothing else.

As for colors, let's go with blue.
