[meme] THE MAKE-YOUR-OWN MEME

[seventhe]

So I'm going to spend November posting more, probably in lieu of NaNoWriMo, because I just wrote over 7300 words in one day and basically that has proven (to me, anyway) that I'm an awesome writer enough that I don't feel like I need to do NaNo. Also I think I'm going to have two exams. SOOO eff that. I'll see, but posting daily in November is a much better backup plan.

I've seen a lot of 30-day memes going around the Circle/FList - there's one on video games, one on "tell me about yourself", one on religious beliefs, and another kind of random one, just off the top of my head - and I like all of them but wouldn't be able to choose one.

So, because I am dumb, I think I'll have more fun turning it over to you crazy people.

So here's the game:

1. I've got a list from 1-30 here, for the 30 days in November I'll be blogging.


2. Leave a comment with a topic you'd like to see me cover. Anything is fair game, and I mean it: things you don't know about me. Fandom opinions. My real feelings on X/Z. Rants on grad school. Talking about my job. Makeup Batman's beauty tips. My thoughts on religion. Pretty much anything that's a fair blog topic - just make sure it's something I can do something with.


3. I'll update the list as people come up with stuff, in the order it's commented. There'll be one master list; comments on DW and LJ both count. Anybody can comment - use OpenID on my DW, or do it anonymously.


4. Since I'm actually not arrogant enough to think 30 people will comment with great ideas (despite what you may think...!), yeah, you can definitely leave more than one suggestion. Just do me a favor and space them out a bit - wait until somebody else comments, so that I'm not doing Drakon for seven days in a row? letting someone monopolize the blog.


5. The list will stay up until it's full.


6. Come 01 November, I'll start with the first topic and then move on through. If I miss a day (like for Thanksgiving maybe) I'll post two the next. The end!

You have an ereader, right? How about a post on that, and your thoughts on people's weird aversion to them? (I mean, I've been told that even my mother, who can't read print books anymore, is horrible and wrong for having an ereader. For some reason.)

[seventhe]

This is an even better suggestion as I continue to owe you some thoughts on my Kindle anyway! >.> WHAT

[renay]

Someone stole my suggestion of Caturday. *darkly*

Predictably, I wish for you to talk about books! In any way at all! Maybe a specific series that someone still needs to read? >.>

[seventhe]

...are we referencing a series of books that ended up covered in melted chocolate? >.>

[justira]

Why are you in fandom! How did you get here! Did you learn anything about yourself from/through being in fandom? For example, did you discover any kinks? =D (And, if you feel comfortable sharing, what are they!)

I will come and tell you my answers when this day comes up, if it will help =D

A Day In Sevland: What The World Would Be Like If Sev Were Queen

[crankyoldman]

WHAT YOU WOULD CHANGE ABOUT ACADEMIA.

>.> Not that I don't know a bit, I just like seeing more people talk about it.

[lassarina]

Totally voting for Makeup Batman beauty tips.

Alternately, your favourite FF character(s) and/or ship(s) and why. HONK pictures encouraged. :P

[seventhe]

Have included both, as they are things I was HOPING TO TALK ABOUT. >.>

[yukie]

I am like curious to know the origin of the Sqwhale. If that's too dumb, MAKEUP BATMAN FOR WIN.

[seventhe]

The SQWUALE is an excellent topic for conversation. Really, it could fill a whole week.

[owlmoose]

If this is too srs bzness I can come up with something more fun, but I've often wondered about your thoughts on being a woman in the male-dominated world of science and engineering.

[seventhe]

This is a great one! :P

[siva630]

a comprehensive list of your favourite Final Fantasy fic cliches!

[seventhe]

...I kind of can't wait until I get here.

[shanaqui]

Write about a book/series of books that you think everyone should read.

[seventhe]

OOOOOH, this is a good one >.>

Topics XP

If you won the lottery and could only do 3 things what would you do?

What's your favourite legend / mythology?

If you could meet one character from literature (classical, contemporary, wherever!) who would it be?

Cheers!

Favourite sport to play or that you'd like to play if you had the time, etc.

[renay]

The backstory about five to ten of your icons. >.>

[seventhe]

OH GOSH, LOL.

You're welcome to pick the ones you want, although you'll have to do it on LJ since I am being ridiculously slow at uploading them here.

*WAITS FOR ALL THE COCK JOKES*

[justira]

I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE UPON YOU

but for serious:

Something you're ashamed to have done, and something you're proud to have done.

Also:

Talk about your creative growth/development. How have you changed as a writer since (whenever)? How's the art? The photography? TELL ME THINGS.

[seventhe]

THAT SECOND ONE

OKAY

...I MIGHT BEAT YOUR WORD COUNT >.>

NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP

[justira]

RECCING. Tell me about it! You don't seem to do it much! do you WANT to do it? Why/why not! Rec some things! Or, if not comfortable actually reccing, tell me what you look for in fanwork!

Then compare your answer with owlmoose's >.>

CUE WILD CLAMOURING

Where's the one place in the world that you think everyone should visit, even if it's just once?

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

I don't know if this is the right way to do this, but here we go: Write about your kitties. In detail. What they mean to you, what sorts of antics they get into, why you love them so much, and about each one's personality.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D BEST IDEA EVER

[drakonlily.livejournal.com]

Boobies, talk about the perfect pair, what you love about them, best ways to dress them... all on boobies

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

I like this better than my kitty idea!

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

On being legally blind.

How do you cope with it? When did you first find out? Did it progressively get worse, or was it always like this? Do you have fears that it will get worse as you get older? Does it make you feel kind of special, in a weird way? (like, how many people in their twenties can say that they're legally blind? It's kind of cool)

[perky-teacakes.livejournal.com]

your least favorite words, usage of words, sayings you think are dumb, IDK WORDS MAN WORDS AND WHY THEY CAN SUCK.

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

OH, I SEE I MISSED THE ORIGINAL LJ ENTRY THEN TOO. HURRRRRR I WISH I COULD GET TO LJ AT WORK!

Okay, I will give you something that is less mass-defriend-inducing also:

BEER: EXACTLY WHY IT'S AWESOME

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

And one more essay topic, in caps:

PHOTOGRAPHY: WHY THIS VISUAL ART FORM OVER OTHERS

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

Describe what would happen if THAT GUY got a reality TV show on MTV.

What would THAT GUY do? What would MTV make THAT GUY do? Would he achieve fame? Fade into obscurity? Would there be a whole show full of people LIKE That Guy? Would That Guy become the next Jersey Shore/Guido phenomenon

[jennyclarinet.livejournal.com]

Describe high school. Any or all parts of it. Happy or not happy. Silly or serious. What were you into? Sports? Video games? Music? Actual school work? Boys? Family? Pick some topics about your four years as a high schooler and elaborate!
