1. Use fanfiction.net's Search Story By Summary and look up your name in either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.
2. If there are any Mary Sues that share your name, pick the worst-sounding ones and post the summary.
For Harry Potter, I only found one, and it's in German. However, it does sound mightily Mary Sue-ish, so here it is:
What the hell is an Itako?
I got nothin' ^_~

(from a TCR taping report which can be found here)
ZOMG!!! *faints*
This is exactly how I want people to react to RPF/RPS being written about them.
And it made me love Stephen even more... if that's even possible :3
€dit: Addon (from said forum thread, again concerning the fact Stephen knows about fanfic and RPS):
Er... guuuuuhhhhhh.... *thud*
€dit #2: Reading all those taping reports makes me a bit sad. I wonder whether TDS and/or TCR will run long enough for me to have even the slightest, most theoretical chance to go see a taping? Well, I doubt it, but one can dream, right?
Stephen does Q&A, my hand SHOOTS up. He calls on my first! I really didn’t have much of a question prepared... but I said , "Between Colboard, JSX, and OSCLA.... Aren’t you SCARED?!" At first, he didn’t know what I was talking about and goes, "Is that part of the united nations....?" Then he goes "OH the colboard, the colbernation message board. I read that once.... NEVER AGAIN." I was LMAO. Then he goes, "Yes, I am scared! Oh yeah. I love Fanfiction...." We all look at each other like OMG then he adds, "Me and Jon... NEVER DID IT..." then nodded his head yes.
ZOMG!!! *faints*

Oh, he's known about it for a while. Part of the fandom lore (which I've never seen a link to, so it might be in a locked LJ post or something) goes that someone asked him about it before, and he responded by quoting part of a fic.
Er... guuuuuhhhhhh.... *thud*

Stephen barely heard the question. "Yes! Two NC-17s!"
"You're...cheering for porn," Jon observed with a healthy amount of concern.
Hell... that sounds so much like me, it's not even funny O_O;;;
(BTW, said fic is here)
... if only I were be able to write such stuff... mentally, I mean... it's not like there's a lack of bunn... Argh, dammit >:O

Woah *wipes eyes*
Jon and that puppy, that easily hit my Top ten of Cutest Things ever.
*blows nose*
Anyway.
I'm back on Max after my six-day experiment of "Is it possible to rely solely on your laptop?". Well, it worked perfectly, I'm fuckin' proud of Kan-chan, but it seems like Max is pouting. He's acting up like mad. Firefox made him crash violently and right now, he refuses to talk to my digicam. Eek O_O
Got myself a CMS to manage my site collective.
Bro recommened Etomite sinc eit's effective and not as huge and difficult as some of the others.
Tried it and it's brilliant!
Importing my pre-made layout was a matter of minutes and it seems like my HTML knowledge stopped getting in the way, too ;)
Now it's day two after the storm and we still got no streetlamps.
And it's only situations like this that makes you realize just how dark the night itself can be if there's no electricity around.
... storm? No lights? Darkbess? Nowhere to go? Nothing to do?
Argh.
*twoe ars pop up in the corner of the room*
Oh noes!!
*fights off bunny*
BTW, mum's making rabbit tomorrow T_T

I don't quite know how to put this, but someone actually wrote a fic about the Rice thingy that happened on both TDS and TCR last night. Don't read it. This is so very yucky but yet another proof that on the intarwebs, everything's possible O_O;;;
However, there's also those two drabbles which are both very, very cute. Stephen singing a lullaby for Jon? OMGawww <3 <3 <3
*is being whacked on the head by muse*
Ow. Yeah, I know!
*lets herself be dragged away*

thefridayfive1. Favorite cereal and why?
Oh, I like most of them. I consider myself a Kellogg's-o-holic ;)
However, altely, I discovered coconut muesli. And that stuff is bloody CRACK, I tell ya XD
2. What is the best thing about summer?
Sitting outside with my family, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Actually, if that didn't exist, I could very well do without summer as such...
3. Would you rather have a slurpee or a milkshake?
I think a slurpeee is similar to the stuff we call slush amd the Italians call granita, right?
Well, if that's the case, it's a draw. I like both. However, if it's really hot out, I'd prefer a slurpee/slush/granita. Unless it makes my circulation go haywire again like the one I had in Milano O_O;;;
4. If you could be a member of any band/musical group, past or present, what band would it be and why?
None. I prefer being a rabid fangirl. And I wouldn't wanna destroy any band with my musical incompetence ^_~
5. Who is your idol? What are they famous for?
Good one!
Well, as much as I love all of my Metal guys, I really have to go with someone else.
Someone who influenced my way of thinking and perceiving the world in a unique way, mainly because he got me at the right time (when I was 16 and searching for a way to look at all the things that were going on around me).
Someone who shaped my mind and aesthetic perceptions, who told me a lot about language and its use.
Someone who made me understand that nothing is as it seems.
Someone who told me the truth about the entertainment industry and also taught me a lot of things about history, politics, poetry, humour and - last but not least - the Vienna accent ;)
Someone who sparked my interest in psychology and made me understand that it's important to look behind the obvious things if you really want to understand what something - or indeed, someone - is all about.
Someone who was already dead when all of this happened, but still managed to have his say in turning me into the person I am today.
Someone who'd better be remembered, and I'd prefer him not to be remembered for his single number one hit in the US, but for being a brilliant artist and a victim of today's world.
Falco (1957 - 1998)
RIP. I love you.
Okay, so.
I'm being chased by a very persistent bunny. I think the beginnigs of that reach back some months (actually, it's nearly a year) but on Saturday, it was suddenly fully there.
Slash bunny, of course. Of the kind that almost prevents you from thinking about anything else.
Now, that alone isn't that bad. But geez... It's relating to something that doesn't even have its own fandom, for god's sake!!
*wipes sweat off forehead*
Uh... help? O_O

Today, I showed mum the beginning of an episode of Qi. What? She asked for it! And then, she was upset about not getting anything. Er... the hell was she expecting??
She laughed about the buzzers, though ;)
Ah crap, only eight episodes left ;_;
BTW, I noticed that one episode of The Daily Show is only about 175 MB in size. That amount of data takes me about an hour to download. Which means that I'll be able to follow the show with a delay of one day only. Hail to BT :D
I really wanted to watch the joint Daily Show/Colbert Report episode from November 7, the thing they called Midterm Midtacular (*lol*).
That file was a bit bigger but I eventually got it. The show was really interesting and cool.
And that conversation in the middle... Well, I'll put it like this: If Jon/Stephen slash (Which idiot started calling that Stewbert, anyway? *is appalled*) hadn't existed before November 7, that skit certainly would've created it ALL ^_~
Heh.
Jon's such a beast. But he's so bloody charming as well. And he's got such a goofy, silly laugh. That man is just gorgeous *dreamy eyes*
On the other hand, Stephen Colbert is ten times more beast than Jon could ever be. So that one RPS fic where Stephen was abusing Jon really made quite a lot of sense, actually O_o

Gods. I'm so bloody tired *yawn*
Why? Because I spent half the night watching Boffle clips on blasted YouTube.
Somehow, that series feels mightily deja vu-ish.
The way they do their stuff is so similar of the Pythons, it almost made me squeal with delight.
*is currently trying to grab some whole eps*
Damn, I'm just so sleepy *clutches tea cup*
Anyway.
Some Fry and/or Laurie related fic recs fer ya.
(Slash only. Please read - and mind - the ratings. You've been warned.)
Physical comedy
A nice short-ish piece in six parts.
Arsegravy
OMG, smutty humour! This one is made of pure awesome!
See Evil
The general idea of this one almost made my head explode. It's just so shockingly brilliant *0*
Coming up later: Some actual Boffle sketches via YouTube... provided I haven't fallen asleep by then *sigh*

Last weekend, yamasagi gave me a Stargate Atlantis bunny. And I had no idea what to do with it.
I mean, I don't know any SG-A writers to pass it to and I'm not exactly confident enough to try it myself.
Well, the problem just got somehow solved cuzyamasagi sent me a snippet. He started writing something O_O
On a furry note, I renamed my cat (ex-Nagisa). So now I present
Jiro!
yamasagi hasn't quite settled on a new name for TCFKAM (The Cat Formerly Known As Miyuki) but I hope he stays with the one he just told me via Skype. Well, I guess I'm gonna keep you updated on that ^_^
PS: Aaaand it's decided:
Tenchi!
(As in "Tenchi Muyo", the name means "Heaven and Earth" :D)

Earlier than expected, but this entry just WANTED to be written like, RIGHT NOW.
( Contains slashy stuff, please click to read ^^ )
PPS: And I forgot something else: One of my first attempts at real writing was a series of fantasy stories based on a Game Boy rendition of Final Fantasy. And it featured Q. Holy crap, that character really influenced me a lot back then. I actually remember QMuse attacking me almost every night to make the stuff even more dramatic and more heartbreaking. Strange guy. Why of course, he was MY muse ;)
PPPS: John de Lancie is not only hot. He's funny, too ^___^

Y'know, there are some things that remain.
Things you've gotten used to over the years, that you've become attached to and you don't think you'd even WANT to replace them with something else.
But once in a while, it still happens.
Today, it happened to me.
Or rather, foobar2000 happened to me.
I think I tried the thing once, but back then, I only had a half-hearted, not-so-interested look at it.
But since bro uses it and seems to like it a lot, I thought I'd give it another try.
Well, I guess that was a good idea.
If you like WinAmp and the stuff it does, you'll adore this guy. I do.
It's also not complicated to use, at least if you're used to WInAmp. And it's customizable as hell. Of course, I immediately inverted the colours to have write song titles on black backgound.
The look is simple, but that's a good thing. I never liked all of that skin stuff inWinAmp. No offense towards you skin creators out there, though, I know it's hard work and there are a lot of great-looking WinAmp dresses out there, it's just not my cup of tea!
I like this feature where you can have multiple playlists and skip between them like in any configurations dialogue.
And foobar's shuffle feature seems a lot more intelligent that WinAmp's. I mean, I don't listen to randomized music that often, but when I've tried it, I've usually been severely disappointed cuz with WinAmp, the same tracks appeared again and again, even if the playlist had 1000 titles.
Like WinAmp, you can set up foobar to minimize to the system tray. But the latter is able to display a pop up containing the track title once a new song starts playing. Neato ^_^
The file icons look incredibly cool as well.
Uninstalling WinAmp felt REALLY strange, since it's one of the programs I've been using since I know how to use a computer. Most other things have changed over time, but music player-wise, it's always been the orange bolt of lightning. Okay, I occasionally had a look at other stuff (like MusicMatch Jukebox which I still use to tag multiple files cuz I haven't found a similar powerful feature anywhere else), but none of that lasted.
Anywho, I don't think I'll regret this and I already put a copy of foobar2000 on my USB stick to install it on Kan-chan. Cuz foobar rocks \m/
The only problem is that this thing requires a music library that's at least somewhat organized and tagged. Unfortunately, this only holds true for like, one third of my stuff. Well, I'm bored anyway and our 'net connection seems to know it's Sunday, so I guess there's something to do XD
€dit: I just read a House slash story and the ENglish in there sounded REALLY strange. I looked up the writer and found out she's German. Well, thank you =_=

I was sick of that old WIndows 2000 look on Kan-chan. Max already has Flyakite OSX, so I looked for something else.
And, surprise surprise, I found Window Blinds!
When I got that up and running and discovered it's taking up less than 2 MB of RAM (having only 256 MB does make you REALLY paranoid about this O_o), I grabbed a handful of skins and tested them.
What I wanted was one that had white fonts on black background.
Well, I soon got hooked on Dark Aqua XP. The only thing I modified is the standard wallpaper, which is a water drop. I changed that to one of my fave House pics and re-loaded the skin. Perfect!
Some pics? Here you go!
( Screenshots, beware: 1024x768!!! )
I really need to take a good pic of Kan-chan himself running thatnew skin. Because he's black on the outside as well and the combination of that and the black OS looks almost too awesome :D
Apart from that, I'm reading some House fanfiction. Nice...

Damn, I stayed up far too late last night. But that's what happens when I start reading something cool.
The whole affair turned into a night shift of epic proportions ("... more... Coke..." *stumbles into cellar*). Me, stopping before everything's been read? No way X_X
Unfortunately, when I had finished reading, I knew there was no way to just go to sleep like that. Not what with all the stuff that's been going on in part 8 *squeals like mad*
And then, it's full moon, and there were at least two thunderstorms last night.
In short: I hardly slept at all.
I feel like having been crushed byStyx a truck. Ahem.
So, what's new?
Thanks torennuian I now have a gmail account that makes sense: jessybxx@googlemail.com ^_^
And I still haven't posted about Max on my German blog. At all. But I just can't bring myself to do so. Geez, I'm so bloody fed up with that thing, it's not funny anymore >:|

I feel like having been crushed by
So, what's new?
Thanks to
rennuian I now have a gmail account that makes sense: jessybxx@googlemail.com ^_^And I still haven't posted about Max on my German blog. At all. But I just can't bring myself to do so. Geez, I'm so bloody fed up with that thing, it's not funny anymore >:|

Well... it was good. Of course, 20th Century Fox/Blue Sky Studios is no Pixar and never will be. The CGI was extraordinary, though (OMG, the water and the fur, they looked fantastic!). Unfortunately, some aspects of the movie looked more like Disney than Disney itself does these days. That includes them managing to break one of my major "rules that make CGI movies good": Do what you want, but for god's sake, DON'T MAKE 'EM SING! And why did it have to be vultures of all animals? I love vultures! They're cool and silent and... they're just not supposed to like, break into song during any scene in any movie *sobs* The story was a bit weak, but the parts about Scrat (y'know, the unfortunate guy from the trailers chasing its acorn) were hilarous, especially the final one.
What I liked was the dub. Yes, there are times when I'm all for thenm, especially when one of my fave voice actors gets an absolutely unusual role. I didn't know of that before so I kept grinning like a loon during the scenes that had him in it. It was Fast Tony, BTW, that armadillo trying to sell crap to the other animals. I know the original voice was done by Jay Leno, but here, it was done by a guynamed Lutz Mackensy, who is also the main voice actor for Rowan Atkinson (says the girl owning the Rowan fanlisting ^_~). As I said, this was somewhat surprising as he usually does characters that are a bit more quiet (like that redhead from CSI Miami mum likes, forgot the name). But he SO ruled screaming around and speaking really fast <3
Now am I weird? I love to watch US/UK stuff in the original version, but on the other hand I adore dubs as well. Guess I'm one of these people who really profit from the invention of the DVD, what with it having varuious audio tracks XD
Of course, there were a couple of trailers as well:
Cars Looks too Disney for me. Also, I've rarely seen a trailer that was this boring. Need to see/read more before I cand ecide for or against watching it.
Asterix Why are they doing an animated movie again? The last one (1994) was a bloody disaster! Might have a look at it, though, as it looked quite okay.
Over the Hedge Dreamworks? Must see!
Sieben Zwerge 2 German comedy thing. Never watched the first one, so I'm not too sure. Looked a bit like something I might like to avoid. On the other hand, it has a lot of cool comedians starring. I guess I gotta grab the first part to check.
Mum and I watched the movie without bro cuz he didn't like the first one and decided against trying part two. Before the thing started, both of us were sitting in our chairs, arguing about something. But it was the joking, not-so-serious kind of argument that's pretty typical for our family. So at one point, mum was like, "Ah, I wish I would've taken your brother with me instead of you, at least he doesn't keep contradicting me". I said "Yeah, might be because he just sits there, being silent all the bloody time", and then, we just started giggling ourselves silly. Suddenly, mum looked like she had just noticed something and next, she was like, "Look, we're just laughing all the time. So I guess with you, it's more fun after all".
I liked that. It was one of those rare times where I didn't feel like the prototypical black sheep =)
Weird fact: When we came home, mum and I were both using Sid speech (I guess he has that s-thingy in the original version too, right?). We're such freaks. Bro was this close to running away from us ;)
PS: I read a really cute fanfic today <3 Actually, I read it twice and I doubt that's been the last time ^^

First thing first:
Tanjoubi omedetou, Rockfic!
Watched the UK movie of Max Headroom last night.
OMFGthisthingisbloodyfuckingamazing!!! The whole style of it (retro-tech <3) and the way it was written just rules so fuckin' much *squeals*
And... I'm not saying that I like Matt Frewer but... I kinda like him O_O
Anyway. If the US series is only half as good as this, it's... pretty good ;) I hope they didn't change too many aspects apart from most of the cast XD
I wish I could give it to bro. He reads cyberpunk novels and I think he might like this as well. But then, it seems like he doesn't want to try to watch stuff that's in English.
Hun said that he watched Max Headroom back then and didn't like it. And I don't blame him. From what I've researched, they might have done something to the series that they already did with some others, among them the classic Star Trek episodes. It looks like they didn't understand that series when it came to Germany and thought it was some weird kids' thing, and so they refelected that in the dub. That included simplifications, the adding of stupid jokes and the like. And I suspect it was the same with the people who worked on the German version of Max.
Either that or it's just another thing where hunny's and my taste just differ like hell ^_^;;;
Today was teh clothes shopping day for me and mum. Was pretty fun.
And I actually managed to grab three *gasp* pairs of pants (Okay, that's mainly cuz two of them are exactly the same, only in different colours) and a cuddly jacket. Mum got a pair of shirts and a pair of pants. She kept bitching about how it's damn difficult for short people like her to find anything. She's 162 cm (5'3"), BTW, so she needs short sizes. But I don't think that's bad, tall people have a lot more trouble when it comes to clothes. Right,rdyfrde *pats* I had a tall friend once and her main problem were shoes cuz her size was 10.5 or even 11 when she was only like, twelve years old or so back then O_O
I'm Tobi-sized (172 cm/ 5'6") so I'm just on the border between the regular and long sizes. And I'm not that much of a fat bastard either, even though certain people tend to suggest that >:|
Tonight, it's Ice Age 2. Finally. I know, we're usually the last people to see any movie that's out, but better late than never.
And then... Would you random preople please stop requesting my contact details on Skype? I neihter talk to nor chat with anybody whom I don't know!
