Skunks Den

First putting a close to the last thing like this I did, here are the movie quotes that no-one got and their source. . .

2)"After Centuries of men looking at my tits instead of my eyes and pinching my ass instead of shaking my hand, I now have the divine right to stare at a man's backside with vulgar, cheap appreciation if I want to!" P.S. I Love You
~~3) "My last girlfriend was a feminist, vegan punk who broke up with me because she thought I was too angry."~~ Saw
8) "How's about a .357? That'll go through the seat, her, the dashboard... Shit, it'll go through the entire engine before it even knows it hit anything. It'll end up in some pedestrian three blocks away." Nick of Time
~~9) "Listen, I've had my share of bad times with men, okay? Some are assholes, Elliot is not. If we don't cultivate the good ones, there aren't going to be any."~~ Exit to Eden
~~13) "No mother, you just murdered me. Take that to your goddamn therapy."~~ Nightmare on Elm Street 4
~~19) "You two-timing son of a bitch! He's a woman! "~~Victor Victoria

Now for my random thingie of the unspecified time frame. . .

Pilfered from puffinmuffin because I'm a geek for these sorts of things.

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands [fannish etc.] that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

Instructions: Write down the names of 12 characters. After you’ve written them all down, then read and answer the questions hidden behind the cut.

No fair peeking at the questions behind the cut until you’ve jotted down all 12 characters.

1 Pavi Largo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavi_Largo#Pavi_Largo)
2 Edge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Copeland) (I am refering to the character Edge, not the actor/athlete who plays him)
3 J.C. (http://artblock-go.smackjeeves.com/)
4 Whitney (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2128831/)
5 Ash (http://www.misfile.com/?menu=characters&character=ash)
6 Jaina Proudmoore (http://www.wowwiki.com/Jaina_Proudmoore)
7 Antoinne Teardrop (Werewolf: The Apocalypse Metastory No online info available)
8 James Raynor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Raynor)
9 Shikamaru Nara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikamaru_Nara)
10 Thursday Next (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thursday_Next)
11 Terri Snow (Shanda The Panda No online info available)
12 Agent Clarice Starling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarice_Starling)

Have you ever read a Six (Jaina Proudmoore)/Eleven (Terri Snow) fic? Do you want to?
Never Read one, could be interesting.

Do you think Four (Whitney) is hot? How hot?
Oh yeah Whitney is super hot, big sexy kitty with a latina fire.

What would happen if Twelve (Agent Clarice Starling) got Eight (James Raynor) pregnant?
First of all they would have to be in the Parralel Universe from S2 Ep 6 of Red Dwarf, but the other way around, I could almost see those two hitting it off if they met, but I would feel sorry for anyone who would date their daughter if they had one.

Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine (Shikamaru Nara)?
I don't even know what rec means.

Would Two (Edge) and Six (Jaina Proudmoore) make a good couple?
Absolutely, Edge is attracted to power and Jaina is an archmage and the ruler of the Alliance force in Kalimdore

Five/Nine (Ash/Shikamaru Nara) or Five/Ten? (Ash/Thursday Next) Why?
Ash/Thursday simply because Ash definitely is not so altered by his change in situation to be dating a guy.

What would happen if Seven (Antoinne Teardrop) walked in on Two (Edge) and Twelve (Agent Clarice Starling) having sex?
Antoinne being a man of composure would probably leave quietl, not that Edge minds an audience (live sex celebration on TV anyone?) but not sure what Clarice would think of the situation.

Make up a summary for a Three/Ten (J.C./Thursday Next) fic.
Mychael decides he has had it with living the lie pretending to be gay so he tries to leave Girls Only and J.C. is deputized to help Thursday bring him back.

Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff? (Pavi Largo/James Raynor)
I would hope not, if Fluff means what I think it does Pavi has no place in it.

Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve (Antoinne Teardrop/Agent Clarice Starling) hurt/comfort fic.
I could totally see this story happening as Antoinne helps Clarice journey to her own Chimeric dream realm to stop the lambs from screaming once and forever. "Save the Lambs"

What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four (Whitney) to deflower One? (Pavi Largo)
Considering what Pavi tends to do to the women he hooks up with, that would be very bad, but tehn I doubt he's ever seen a woman the size and spirit of Whitney. It would likely a be a powerstruggle.

Does anyone on your friends list read Seven (Antoinne Teardrop) slash?
I really doubt it.

Does anyone on your friends list read Three (J.C.) het?
J.C. het? LOL. Figures one of only 2 gay chars on my list get this question.

Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven (Terri Snow)?
No but I'm tempted to commission someone to draw her.

Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five? (Edge/Whitney/Ash)
Unlikely since as far as I know only one person on my list even likes Edge, and he doesn't read Misfile, and Whitney isn't his thing either.

What might Ten (Thursday Next) scream at a moment of great passion?
Bollocks!

If you wrote a song-fic about Eight (James Raynor), which song would you choose?
"Unforgiven II" by Metallica, the story of his lost love interest with Karrigan.

If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic (Pavi Largo/Jaina Proudmoore/Agent Clarice Starling), what would the warnings be?
Blood, Rape, mature language, gunplay

What might be a good pick-up line for Two (Edge) to use on Ten (Thursday Next)?
Hey, wanna take a little trip to my book, Do you happen to have a purple bikini?

When was the last time you read a fic about Five? (Ash)
Never.

What is Six’s (Jaina Proudmoore) super-sekrit kink?
Hot Orc-sex, there is a reason other than honor that she defied her father and upheld the ceasation of hostilities with the Horde.

Would Eleven (Terri Snow) shag Nine (Shikamaru Nara) Drunk or sober?
Neither drunk or sober, but she might ask him to introduce her to Ino.

If Three (J.C.) and Seven (Antoinne Teardrop) get together, who tops?
I think J.C. would have to let Antoinne top, something J.C. would be unused to but I think Antoinne is not someone J.C could intimidate.

"One (Pavi Largo) and Nine (Shikamaru Nara) are in a happy relationship until Nine (Shikamaru) suddenly runs off with Four (Whitney). One (Pavi), broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven (Terri Snow) and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve( Agent Clarice Starling), then follows the wise advice of Five(Ash) and finds true love with Three(J.C.).” What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
This one just makes my head hurt.

How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon? (Antoinne Teardrop/James Raynor)
I would feel like Blizzard really is as cracked as everyone keeps saying.

1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb, and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. No Googling/using IMDb search functions.

I did this a few years ago on a smaller scale so please forgive me if I duplicate movies, in fact two quotes are duplicates but they are both such excelent quotes.

Sexy Ladies

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 10:16:02 GMT

Stolen from forrent

1. Compose a list of YOUR top ten sexiest famous people.
2. Collect one picture of each person.
3. Post them in your journal.

01 Queen Latifah: A fine figured woman, who was well presented in particular in the movie Chicago with it's gratuitous use of corsets and burlesque themes.

02 Nicky Blonski: Star of Hairspray. After seeing this movie I had to run home to check wikipedia and see if the thoughts I was having were legal.

03 Vicky Guererro: Eddie Guerrero was a lucky man to have this lovely woman as his wife. I do hope her storyline quitting on raw doesn't mean that I won't be seeing her (and her gorgeous taste in shoes) on WWE anymore.

04 Michel Pfeiffer: Yes she isn't a plus size in any sense of the word, yes she is old enough to be my mother but damn it Michel Pfeiffer proved in Stardust she can still look incredible and she now has the maturity to pull off class with her sex appeal.

05 Dina Meyer: An ongoing debate was she hotter as Dizzy Florez or as Detective Allison Kerry, either way the audience wins.

06 Kirstie Alley: Kirstie might have finished higher but her weight yo-yo's so much she actually passes through both ends of my preference zone.

07 Mia Tyler: the rest of the world can keep their fixation on Liv but I think Mia is Steven Tylers hot daughter, who knew his genes could produce this?

08 Jennifer Hudson: haven't seen much with her but I would definitely like to see more, talent and an awesome body.

09 Kari Byron: As well as being pretty cute she is smart and nerdy which adds to her appeal.

10 Christina Hendricks: I'm going to be honest I came across her picture while I was looking through celebs but she looks pretty fine and she was in Firefly which many people are encouraging me to watch the rest of.

Video files

Wed, 20 May 2009 18:48:52 GMT

Does anyone out there make your own video files from a webcam? If so what program do you use to record and would you be willing to lay out a simple step by step of how to do this?

I have recently come into use of a webcam and would like to be able to create some video files with it.

EDIT: Actually I think I have the problem sorted out, using captureflux a great freeware.

The two sweetest words in the english language

Tue, 05 May 2009 00:12:24 GMT

Non Cancerous.

My mother got the results back today from the biposy on the tumor that was removed from her abdomen last week. It turns out that it was a fibrous tumor, and completely non cancerous. It was not anything to be concerned about in the future.

She is feeling good enough that she will be traveling about 12 hours to go to May Crown in a couple weeks. Such a relief to get that news.

Mon, 04 May 2009 20:43:30 GMT

So yeah, still not sure what to do with myself of late, no work to go to because I'm on vacation, still concerned about my mom, although she is home and doing better. Still working out details with my sister about what is being done with that flight from Edmonton to Vancouver that we booked. Thinking I should do some cleaning around the house but zero motivation to do so.

Spent the morning doing some creative stuff so that was okay, but still. *shrugs*

Travel Interruptus

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 17:39:55 GMT

Today was supposed to be the day I set out on my grand British vacation. I was supposed to be flying to Vancouver tonight to meet up with my parents and sister, who were driving down from where my parents live.

Unfortunately on Friday that plan entirely went south. My mother is in the hospital with what may or may not be cancer, we won't know until they do a biopsy on the mass in her abdomen.

On the other hand I am still planing to make it to AFF, so see folks there. On a local note I have nowhere that I need to be for the next couple of weeks as I had already arranged the time off work, so I am available for getting together and hanging out.

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 19:11:18 GMT

So yeah, again it's been a while since I updated anything here.

Don't really even know what to post.

I found out not too long ago that I am going to be losing my job in August, why, because they can hire a dozen Filipinos for the price of one Canadian.

To answer the question people are sure to ask, I don't know for sure what I am going to do for work, I am thinking of applying at a 311 call centre which is city services, I may end up having to take EI for a short while because August is when the job market is at it's busiest with students looking for something over the summer before going back in September.

At least I have my trip to England the end of this month to look forward, and arriving back just in time for AFF in Seattle before flying back to Edmonton, and back to work.

I am not going to say anything about updating this more often because everytime I do that I end up jinxing myself.

As a side note I should update my RL icon here, that is a few years out of date.

Update

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:59:11 GMT

Wow, been too long since I updated this thing, but this time I can say with a fair degree of certainty that is going to change.

Work: I am, as it happens, updating this journal from work. I started work at Atco I-tek the call center for Atco-Gas and Atco Electric as well as a few other companies. I was trained (along with laios) to take calls for Atco Gas. I enjoyed this very much except for the occasional shift that had me starting at or before 8AM. On Tuesday I was advised that the position I had applied for had accepted me. This constituted a promotion to the Afterhours department. Later hours, which is more conducive to my normal schedule, better pay, and it can be quite qiet, a lot of downtime when there aren't any widespread outages for Atco Electric. Also they are much more open about internet usage during downtime, meaning I can update my LJ from my work terminal.

Family: For the last year or two my mother has had increasing health concerns, mostly around her body rejecting more and more foods, starting with a sort of celiac disease. Later her body started to reject both "good" and "bad" fats. They recently found out what was causing it, and since her Gall Bladder was removed last Tuesday she has been doing very well and her weight should stabilize (she has lost about 80 pounds in 8 months)

Not much else to say right now, hello again everyone, and thanks for reading.

Job Search

Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:26:38 GMT

Been a busy week for me.

Monday I had to go for a skills assessment for Telus.

Tuesday I had another skills assessment, this time booked for Manpower on behalf of Atco (The Gas Company, the only Gas Company).

Went back Wed to Have an intake interview with a Manpower rep, and retaking a portion of the assessment I had performed poorly on due to insufficient instructions.

This morning I get a call back from Telus Scheduling me to come in for an interview next Thursday. Likewise I have an interview with an Atco supervisor to be booked sometime before Oct. 16th.

Strangely despite having only 4 hours sleep, I can't get back to sleep.

Enough is Enough, It's time for a Change.

Those of course are the words of the late great Owen Hart, but it still applies in my current situation.

For quite some time I have been extremely dissatisfied in my job. The commute is too far, the systems too unreliable. Every call I get seems too be a complex situation which takes far longer to resolve than the "allowable" average. The upshot of all this I guess is that today I quit my job at Convergys. There are people there I will miss, and even the work itself I think I will miss, and I have my doubts that I am through with call center work, but we will see what happens in the next week or so. I have to reassemble a new resume, my old one is a couple years out of date.

I laugh at 16 out of 70 common fears... and fear 8

Some of these I had to ask myself, people really fear these?

This is a combination of the regular meme which I am stealing from a bunch of people and the reverse of it which I am stealing from firesplace

*blows the dust off this thing*

Hi ho, everyone It's been a while since I posted anything of consequence.

Still at Convergys, coming up on 3 years now. I've decided it's time to get off my ass there and start some upward mobility with the company. I missed the most recent application for Escalation Consultant by one day recently, but a lot of people are speculating that another round of applications will be taken soon.

Had a great time at Quad War with my folks beginning of the month, even though there was a huge wasp and hornet problem on site. Got to see some friends I haven't seen in a long time, also got to try a really tasty beer brewed by one of said friends. My parents are supposed to be bringing me a case next time they come through, it'll cost about $17 for a dozen, which puts it less expensive (and better tasting) than most commercially brewed beers. There are a few people here in town that I can't wait to share it with.

Not really much else to say, Finally got a character upto level 40 in WoW, which means, it's mountin' time! Since my character is a Blood Elf, the default mount is a Hawkstrider, which strikingly resembles a Chocobo. So now I get to run around humming the Chocobo Song all the time, fun.

Birthday List

Wed, 29 Aug 2007 22:06:13 GMT

Somebody asked me to make one of these so here it is.

What I want for my birthday (Sept 19.)

Wireless Keyboard
Wireless Mouse
Saw I and Saw II (The multi-DVD OMG it's got everything versions)
If anyone can find a copy of WWE Backlash 2004 that would be awesome.

Anyone looking for something a little on the cheaper side I always welcome people willing to feed my addiction and buying me packs of any of the three Collectible Card Games, that I play, Raw Deal (WWE based), World of Warcraft (based of the MMO of the same name) or Vampire: The Eternal Struggle (Based of the RPG Vampire: the Masquerade). These can be purchased at most card, comic or hobbey shops, but the best places I find are Thunderground Comics in St. Albert, West Edmonton Coin and Stamp in WEM upper level by the casino, and All Star Collectibles in Capilano Mall.

And if you are the kind of person who liked to buy gift certificates may I suggest Best Buy (Good deals on DVD's), Sears (I could always use new pants), or La Senza (I rarely wear masculine underwear).

This will be cross posted on both my LJ and FA, and may appear on my facebook in a modified form as my facebook is kept free of references to my crossdressing.

Maybe mine should ahve been a sheep.

ARE YOU PONDERING WHAT I AM PONDERING?

Memerific

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 19:05:10 GMT

1. Honestly, what colour is your shirt?
Flesh coloured.

2. Honestly, whats on your mind?
My next post I'm going to make after this, laundry, cleaning my room, other things I should be doing instead of pointless Meme's OL.

3. Honestly, what are you doing right now?
typing this, trying to scratch an itch on my back, drinking water, and counting down the hours until I can have something to eat.

4. Honestly, do you think Britney Spears is attractive?
No, I would break her if I ever had sex with her, which sadly is a point in the favor of having sex with her.

6. Honestly, have you done something bad today?
Yes, I called in sick to work because I have no pants that are clean enough for me to wear to work, but said i have a migraine because the real reason is too complicated.

7. Honestly, do you watch Disney channel?
No television where I live now.

8. Honestly, who is the last person you talked to on the phone?
My Team leader's answering machine. If you mean a real person it would be Jason (The guy who runs the V:TES tourneys locally) yesterday.

9. Honestly, are you jealous of someone right now?
No, not really.

10. Honestly, what makes you mad most of the time?
Stupid little annoyances really get to me. When things don't go my way in a game because of luck. When customers keep interrupting me at work when I am trying to help them, but I have steps I have to take and can't because they won't let me finish.

11. Honestly, do you bite your nails?
never.

12. Honestly, have you had an eating disorder?
I think I may have a slight disorder, not sure what it's called but when I am feeling nervous or unhappy I eat. I also eat lots when I'm happy too, so maybe I just eat too much.

14. Honestly, do you have a deep dark secret?
Not really, most things I am open about with my friends.

15. Honestly, do you have a friend you don't actually like?
Nah, some of my friends get on my nerves sometimes but not to the point that I don't like them.

19. Honestly, do you like anyone?
I like a lot of people, but if you mean LIKE someone then the answer to that is yes.

20. Honestly, does anyone like you?
I am told I make a very good friend although annoying at times again if you mean LIKE me, I think so, but I can't really say for certain.

*Anger Section*

1. What do you do when you're mad?
I hit inanimate objects or pound the flats of my hands against my own head.

2. What's the worst thing you've done when you were mad?
I once struck one of my dearest friends, almost did worse but I regained control.

3. Ever made anyone cry when you were mad?
Yes.

*CRYING SECTION*

1. Did you cry last week?
No.

2. Ever cried yourself to sleep?
Not recently.

3. Do certain songs make you cry?
Sometimes, depends on the song and my mood.

4. What usually makes you cry?
It really depends, it used to be loneliness, now it's really anything emotionally overwhelming, or a really sad moment in certain movies.

*Happy Section*

Where's 1 and 2?
They eloped and ran off together to Cancun.

3. Does being with your friends make you happy?
Most of the time, sometimes I need alone time.

4. Do you believe in yourself?
Not so much, but a lot more than I used to.

5. When people say they think you are good looking/pretty, do you feel happy?
I feel happy, but many times I also feel scheptical, because when a friend says this they often have the ulterior motive of trying to make you feel good, even if they don't strictly mean what they are saying.

Well nothing else to do this Lunch break, I can't eat and I brought food so I don't have to go and acquire something that I can eat later so I think I'll update here.

Wow, so much happened lately, i guess part of it is that I'm feeling all intimidated by what's been going on.

Moved, now in the neighborhood of Jasper Gates, over by silvoxfer not too far from rei_vegan and jiasaykea and shanti_wolf. Still living with werelwolf and kessellyre.

got to take in an Edmonton Rush game not too long ago, that was a lot of fun, and got to meet favorite Edmontonian celebrity Chris Benoit and get an autograph afterward, because he was there hosting the event.

Back at work regularly, trying to earn money to dig myself out of the whole.

The Fast is going poorly, I have failed on every single challenge I took on, except for the fast itself.

I have to go for right now, i may post again, updating about my trip to BC.

Found a rather ammusing political comic, even if some of the smaller nuances escape me on account of it being an American comic. I wanted to share a couple with the folks on my friends list, the first is one that is more for the friends on my list than myself, the second is just one I found really ammusing.
