What kind of ANGEL are you?

Quiz made by Angela
Go outside for a moment. Go on. Go feel the tender grass under your bare feet. Feel the breeze ruffle your hair. Stare up at the sky and watch the perfect clouds for a moment and realize that grandest of things: summer is here! (Not that that matters, in my case, having graduated from high school. But it doesn't diminish the beauty of life outside, out in the sun.)

Litmus test! BAH! Jhera needs no litmus test! She's my Sue because I say she is!

Although I might as well score her on one, hang on a sec...

I borrowed this from Thraxsbaby, one of Foxbaby's connections. It was originally a Gargoyles test, which she made into a Matrix test, which I am now plugging into Mortal Kombat. It's gonna be a bumpy night, and all that ;^P

Ahh, a nice, comfy borderline Sue *grins*. Not quite as badly annoying as I wanted her to be, but oh well. I should have given her more musical ability, drat it all! :^D

Not much new here, same as ever, cranking the volume under the stress. *Creed's "What If" pounding out of the stereo*. Great, at this rate I'll blow the speakers in no time. Six weeks, just six more weeks and my house is mine again...

Oh, here's that quizzie:

Who Wants A Cookie?

You Found Me Out

Yes, yes, I *did* jump on the bandwagon as far as online journaling goes. I do that from time to time, actually. Hop on the bandwagon, I mean. it's like "oooh, pretty shiny wagon, must see, must catch it before it rolls completely away..."

On the other hand, I tend to take my own position on aforementioned wagon, either hopping off long before everyone else or staying on long after. In plain English, that means I'm a geek. ;^D Also, I've had one or two instances where I refused to be part of something simply because large numbers of people suddenly did it for no apparent reason, and wound up missing out on the fun. I'd rather have the fun, and so, *HOP* here I am ^_^

Thought on electronic music, whilst we're at it:

(To The Tune Of "Yankee Doodle")

DJ Skribble, he sold out by signing with MTV
They stuck a drum set up his a$$,
And then cancelled the series.

Just taking the piss out of all the "undergrounders", don't mind me. =^D As far as I'm concerned, if I like it, it's music and if I don't, it's sh*t. *Smiling sweetly*.

In other news today:

Steph was actually kind enough to link me back ^_^

Ehh, more later, I need to go eat some food.

*Ambles off to go eat some food* ;^D

It Has Begun!

You Can Say That Again, Brother

Wheeeee! *Boing boing boing* ^_^ Screenshots for Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. (I'm finally getting over that horrid name ;^) ) Sonya, Jax, AND Kung Lao (*dancing*) are all back in full swing, and on that one screen I see what I'm sincerely hoping might be 'Leena in one corner. Please, please god, I'll go without meat every night for a week solid without a murmur of complaint if that happens. And I'll cut back on the coffee, and I'll scrub out the downstairs toilet, and I'll keep all the socks turned right side out when I fold them.

And I'll be nice to our boarder's cat.

Oh no, no wait, I won't. :^P Guess that's that then, no more 'Leena. *Siiiiiggghhh*

'Leena. That's my nickname, you know. One of them. I'm also Jheti, J, jessjess and several other diminutives of my given name. ;^D A handful of people know me by alternate characters, like Elrond *gestures at sidebar* and Nangla--a character of mine who dies horribly because she believes in loyalty at the expense of moral truth. --She kills the King of the Realm in order to save his wife and her unborn child, more or less. But through machination, not the warfare native to her Deghed'iin ancestors.

Uhh, yeah, time for beddybye ^^; Me sooooooooo sleepy *ZZZzzzZZZzzzzz* Niteynite :^D

I Am NOT A Commitee!

The Girly Half of the Galaxy's Greatest Couple

Greetings.





Take the Which Star Wars Hero are You? Quiz!

...created by Kenzie.





Heh, I scored second-in-line to be Han. Which means either way you choose to cut this one with your lightsaber, I'm swell :^D

*Preening in that stuck-up-yet-modest manner only Princess Leia can pull off*

Bye then :^)

Oooh, sorry Steph, I'll fix that addy...

Oh The Pain

Achilles' Heel Is Mine, Too

Meaning: my feet are killing me >_< I stood mostly on my left leg yesterday and hurt one of the tendons inside the foot or pinched a nerve or something.

Luckily for me, sitting down in front of the computer takes all the weight off it ;^)

I had rare beef last night, courtesy of the cat lady =^D Roast, not steak, but who's nit-picking? Not I ^_^

You know what else is good? Chai. It's really strong black tea with cinnamon and nutmeg and who knows what-all, with a lot of honey in it--it's got that thick, dries-sticky quality of highly sugary substances. (You know--like when you spill Classic Coke on a countertop and leave it to dry, and it leaves behind that gross residue? Chai's the same way.) You're supposed to pour about half a mug, heat it until it's just shy of thermonuclear (I wanted to say "thermonucleic". Is that a word?), and mix in an equal amount of cold milk. Which is exactly what I do *happy siggggghhhhh* :^)

Bizzare thought: when I'm typing here in my journal or "blog" or whatever, I write the same way I sound speaking, more or less.

Whereas my writing-voices sound completely different. To my inner ear, Mileena sounds like Katherine Hepburn on caffiene--assuming Ms. Hepburn gargled razor blades for a living ;^) Jhera has that flat, twanging Germanic thing going on. A gal I know, we'll call her Thia, has a pronounced German accent and it's almost like that--harder and flatter than the traditional stereotype of a Nordic accent. My rationalization for this being that Jhera's home Realm, Midgard, is not Earth and never was. Her people are human, but not Earthborn. Does that make any sense? Nah, probably not. And as far as her being a valkyrie goes: (In her own words) "'Tis not my place! Verily, I am a mere temp! This is beyond my power."

I found a way to get Himself and Herself back together without them killing each other or jumping one another's bones at the outset =^D

Anyway, I'll cease boring you with mein ficcy and leave you a swell testie instead:







Go Faeries!!
