Strange, I’m leading off with a meme yet again…

Five weird habits meme:
1. My favorite AIM phrase to use is “mon ami”, meaning “my friend” in French even though I don’t know very much French (I hate la francais)..
2. I love giving people nicknames, as they’re usually a good indicator of someone’s personality (even if they are slightly derogatory).
3. I pretend every decision I make is part of a crucial choice in a Final Fantasy style RPG (complete with awesome music).
4. Even if it is a terrible idea, I will go all in on a stone cold bluff (though it usually works at least once).
5. I eat my fries before I eat my burgers. Fries are best eaten when they are steaming (otherwise they become cold and icky).

Funny convo for the day...
D2: I have a wager for you guru Stu.
Stu: Hmmm, what is the wager?
[D2 and guru Stu discuss the wager]
D2: Agreed?
Stu: Okay, so what happens if I win?
D2: Well, I will complete a punishment of your choice.
Stu: And if I lose?
D2: You will complete a punishment of my choice.
Stu: I don't know...
D2: Okay, a few ground rules. No physical harm. Nothing psycologically damaging. If it's questionable, we'll appeal to an outside judge, okay?
Stu: You take all the fun out of things.
D2: Hey, we could remove the limiters if you really want...
Stu: Naw, it's just fine. But what would you make me do?
D2: Probably something like making you sitting through a bad anime.

Quote of the Day:
sarnath mentioned that I should submit the phrase “Dreams can’t buy you a house or provide for your family” to Despair, Inc.. I remember tu_nenay_08 linking me there one time. But, um, if anyone is feeling generous, could you get me this most excellent coffee mug. And I am so buying this shirt for myself.

Links of the Day:
dr_zrfq wanted to let you know about Security Awareness Training. He also provides this link to the 10 Weirdest USB Drives Ever. Number two weirded me out, but number one made me drop to the floor, rolling in laughter at its complete weirdness.
----------------------------------
At the last minute, I took out Cadillac Williams for Willis McGahee. 23 pts for 0 pts. It may cost me. Sadness, especially since I’ve been overly cocky all week and predicting how I would double up my first round playoff opponent. If I lose, people will never let me forget about this.

That was a crazy ending to the Chiefs-Cowboys game.
----------------------------------
The reviews on Narnia have mostly been awesome, although a few of the tougher critics have been giving it B’s. Narnia should be raking it in this holiday season.

And to whom it may concern: C.S. Lewis has become very popular. I know a certain somebody was surprised that someone as “smart” as me hasn’t read The Screwtape Letters yet, but you should see my queue of “must read” books. But since you requested that I should read it, I went ahead and bought a nine dollar paperback copy at Wal Mart. I only ask that you find yourself a copy of Pablo Coehlo’s The Alchemist to read over Christmas break, to return the favor. After all, isn’t the golden rule to do what others do unto you?

Random Jameson described my blog as a mental jigsaw puzzle that requires effort and thinking to put the full image together.

Random LJ question: I want to ask the ljgenie community a question about editing, but right now I'm too stupid to figure out how to do it. I can't figure how to post to the community. Some kind help, please?

What’s your favorite kind of gum?

Comments

[rhapsody-98.livejournal.com]

Spearmint. Although, I am a sucker for anything that has mint in it.

Oh, Andes.... how you own my soul.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

Ah, but whose spearmint reigns supreme? I mean Wrigley's is my favorite by default...

[rhapsody-98.livejournal.com]

Any spearmint will satisfy my craving, but Wrigley's is definately on the top five. Doublemint is, too.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOO, do not mention "refreshing doublemint gum." That stupid twins commercial gets stuck in my head everytime someone mentions it.

[wldntulk2knwwho.livejournal.com]

Interesting convo.... I'll look forward to how the wager turns out.

Favorite gum: Probably some sort of Bubblicious

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

To answer your question, the wager does not have to do with you and Courtney. It is about something that only nerds would wager about. We promised not to tell anyone else for fear of unfairly influencing the random event one way or another.

I hear Lebron's Lemonade Bubbblicious gum is some good.

I went out and saw Narnia tonight with a few friends. I'd say B or B-. It's really nothing special, in my humble opinion.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

I hear the graphics are astounding though...

[fub.livejournal.com]

but right now I'm too stupid to figure out how to do it.
First you join the community (there's a link on the userinfo page). Then, in the 'edit journal'-interface of your favourite client or on the webpage, there's a pulldown list where you can choose in which journal you want to post. Select ljgenie there, and you'll be all set.

[greybeta.livejournal.com]

My stupidity...I clicked friending ljgenie once so I monitored it, but there's another link to click to actually, you know, join the community. Thanks for your help sir.
