Bleargh. Christmas was kind of fun, if very exhausting, and now I have nothing to do. Except enjoy having a real keyboard, which is nice because while my new iTouch (!) is SUPER SHINY, it is also a bitch to type on. :[ And my oven is broken. But! Everything else is okay. I have a closet full of new clothes. And you guys are awesome. Even Especially those of you I just met over at the KHR friending meme and haven't gotten a chance to know yet. So! The Five Questions meme. Ask me five questions, I'll answer them, and if you want I'll ask you another five back. My favourite getting-to-know-you exercise. :D
Also, I'm kind of burned out on all the stuff I'm writing right now, and the plot bunnies I'm getting are for series I'm not actually very familiar with. (Stuff like Naruto and Bleach, I mean, where I read like a fourth of it and stopped and everything I know from after that is through fandom osmosis.) Sooooo . . . does anyone have any ideas/requests they don't mind if I mess around with? I can't promise that I'll end up writing all or even any of them (I'm notoriously slow at writing, besides) but I would love to see some of the plots/fics you want to read but don't feel like trying to write. You know, stuff like 'an epic Severitus about Harry becoming an awesome magical engineer and having buckets of UST with Theodore Nott' or 'genderbent Squalo/Yamamoto'.
Fandoms: Anything you know I'm familiar with, though it would be nice if they weren't super-long or if they were (like Harry Potter) the kind where you can really get away with just making shit up and slapping an 'AU' label on it. Again, I can't promise I'll actually do anything -- but I want to see what kind of things you guys have kicking around your heads, and maybe get something to scribble around with.

I've only actually finished two, which were pretty good: Remote and Liar Game. I've been meaning to watch Nobuto wo Produce, Koshonin, and the rest of Boss.
3. I'm in the U.S., too. :P
4. People mixing up words that sound similar. Imply =/= infer, dammit! (BTW, the plural of octopus is not octopi. It's octopuses, because the Greek plural is too complicated and you shouldn't be using a Latin ending on a Greek word.)
5. I'm a vegetarian, and I love to cook. ♥ I can't wait for summer and fresh vegetables!

Date: 2009-12-29 07:00 pm (UTC)@2: hmmm i haven't heard of those other doramas I'll have to go check them out. BUT about liar game: do you feel you have to think a lot while you're watching it? I was asked this questions and at first I was like 'no' but then after I thought about it, I realized it does make my brain work.
@4: Oh there's a word for that. I always think of that one clown from A Midsummer's Night Dream when this problem pops up.
P.S. God... I know nothing about Latin or Greek.. can I borrow your brain?
@5: A vegetarian? I respect that.. many of my friends have tried going that route but fail. (I'm sorry but I will always be a meat-eater).

Haha, all I really know about Latin and Greek is that you're not supposed to use them in the same word. Like, you can't say 'Geo Incognita' because geo=Greek and incognita=Latin. And octopus is derived from Greek, so you can't use the Latin plural -i on it. Or something. /grammar geek
I've been a vegetarian most of my life, so even if I could make myself eat meat my body probably couldn't handle it. :P When I was a kid I just thought dead animals = icky and it seems to have stuck.
