Any of your characters can ask any of mine any question they want to etc. etc., in OOC fun! It can be anything, even if they'd never ask or are too shy/scared/uncertain to do it IC.

feel free to take them if you like. Code is in textarea. Click pics for bigger images.

Request, request, request! You can request any pairing(s) so long as I play one of them. Which means AU, history, game, or crack is totally acceptable, as well as pre-established lines. If there's a prompt you want that's taken, give me a good reason and I'll do it again.

Alright, eleven or so weeks in, and it's fall break. Which is Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun off, but I normally get Fri/Sat/Sun off anyway, so I took Wednesday too. Whatever, I spent most of my time studying and making flashcards. And browsing yarn, but that's a given.

Anyway, Thursday nights are bar review night and I got to go, dragged as DD again, but lmao apparently I'm "a crap driver". I'm sorry you wanted to go to a bar in downtown Saint Paul and expect me to get on I-94 when I've never driven on such a highway. Okay that guy was driving REALLY close, but we didn't hit! Whatever, you were drunk and exaggerating anyway. I took a cab home with Dave and the other guys, which turned into law school political discussion. Hilarious!

One of the bouncers (because we ended up at three different bars) at the last club had trouble finding the date on my ID, so I had to talk my way into it and he finally found it and loudly was like "ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY FREE SHOTS!" and then the guys I was with (there were two other girls but we'll get to that later) started cheering and made me take a shot. I have never done so and it was whiskey (good stuff, apparently?) but ugh I think I still taste it.

Anyway, so I'm standing there with Dave leaning on me, he's telling me how he's trying to get Gemma and John together, but John is way too shy to make a move and yeah, so this crowd passes by and I smile, because, well that's what you DO. Smile at strangers? IDK, but this girl stopped and was like "That was really nice!" and started talking to me and then asked me to dance and Dave was giggling and spilling his drink and then I pulled a Have You Met Ted, with this other guy (who was trying to scam on Gemma too, and our job was to keep him distracted) and was like "Have you met Ben?" and she talked to him for like a second and then went back to hitting on me XD

Ben and Dave were like "This is unfair, why can't WE get a girl to do that."

Must be my animal magnetism.

but she also was talking to me about some of the bars and like "I don't like Billy's, too full of preppy jerks, oh, like them!" she says as she points over to my group of friends. XD Who are kind of that way but lmfao, it was funny. "Well, we're law students so.... XD"

anyway, rambly and stuff, but First Shot of Whiskey and yes.

Dear crocketed:

I don't really know how to tell you this, but you're a pervert. I think I realized it when I quoted Santa with Paris Hilton and I saw you sit on my avocado plant. I'm sure you're open enough to understand that I get turned on by garbage men. I'm returning your ring to you, but I'll keep the results of your blood sample as a memory. You should also know that I get sick when I think of embarrassing rashes.

Greetings to your frog Leonard,
Alter.

Pick a pairing from my fandoms, and come with a location and/or situation, and I will write you between 50 and 250 words about the kiss that happened in that context.

If you're not sure whether I do a fandom or not, ask!

I offered this in May, but the holidays are coming up and I really like to crochet and knit, so I'm going to offer it again. Feel free to pass it around.
( freebies! )

My family trees have been overhauled and updated! A through Fi and Fl through Z.

Check them out and let me know if I've missed anything/made wrong whatevers. I took a bit of liberty with some things, but totally up to changing if unwanted/different wants.

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a completely made up, fictional memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.

Name one of my characters and one of yours. I'll show you three icons displaying expressions that my character frequently makes when interacting with yours, and explain why.
