Veth's Journal

I guess at some point I probably ought to greet my new friends from the Pokémon friending meme. Hey there, all four of you! I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. :D Or something.

Apparently this meme is going around. Or was. Whatever, I'm always slow at these things anyway.

Leave me a comment and I will give you a letter. Then, write 10 things that you love starting with that letter. Post the list in your journal. Give out letters to your commenters in return.

I wasn't actually tagged, so I can't write a list myself. But uh. Y'all can feel free to give me a letter if you want. :B

Edit: deathlyh7212007 gave me the letter ( H. )

I have too many fandoms that start with H but GOSH DANG IT they are all amazing so I had to put them in.

You know, I've never really held my childhood sacred. So when people do things like Rule 34 Pokémon or whatever, that doesn't bother me. But finding out that Abraham Lincoln thought blacks were inferior to whites? That's really depressing. D:

Also, I know I'm really late to the party with this like with everything else, but new fandom: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Go, watch. It's short - only three acts - and really awesome. Great music, great acting, heck, it's Joss Whedon. You really don't need any other reason to see it.

And now I'll do a meme.

(Stolen from athousandwinds, who I found... man, I don't even remember.)

List 12 characters from different fandoms first. (No cheating!) Then answer the questions under the cut.

1. Szayel Aporro Granz (Bleach)
2. The Joker (The Dark Knight)
3. Darth Maul (Star Wars)
4. Mello (Death Note)
5. Rock Lee (Naruto)
6. Lloyd Asplund (Code Geass)
7. Rick Murray (Degrassi)
8. Kirby (Kirby)
9. Desmond Hume (Lost)
10. Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)
11. Phoenix Wright (Phoenix Wright)
12. Hal "Otacon" Emmerich (Metal Gear Solid)

( The questions under the cut )

Be warned: I've found a community (fandom_memes) full of these things, so don't be surprised if you get spammed by them over the next while.

A little context here: I'm in school posting on LJ while my friends kill each other in Brawl. Life is sweet. :D

So, what I did during the past month or so: Was emo, wasn't emo, got into more fandoms (Code Geass is AWESOME), got into more webcomics (Order of the Stick is AWESOME). Also, finally watched Quantum Leap for the first time. Where has that show been all my life? (And where has Scott Bakula been all my life? Mmm.)

For those of you who are geeks and wear clothing, I've found some great online stores: ThinkGeek and mental_floss. mental_floss has a smaller collection mainly involving famous dead people, while ThinkGeek has more general geek fare, including popular culture and memes. They're both worth checking out.

( Those slashy Death Note things I mentioned )

Well, off to catch up on friends-only entries.

P.S. DEREK STEPHEN PRINCE IS GOING TO BE AT OTACON (I don't even play Metal Gear Solid...) OTAKON!! Not that I have any sort of way to get to Otakon ever, but...DEREK STEPHEN PRINCE *fangirls*
