Blank Paper:

Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you, They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

I got Luna, boys (as in your own), army, Tennessee, pictures from dream_mancer.
( Words, Words, Words )
That was kinda fun, to see what words Laura associates with me.  Anyone else want to give me words?  Or want words?

1. Go to Google or Yahoo and type in “You know you’re from (your state) when…”
2. Copy & paste into an entry.
3. Bold the ones which apply to you.


( Yep, I'm from TN )

Snagged from spankerella , because I'm bored.

1. My username is ______ because ______.

My username is jo_anne_storm , because it's a pseudonym I came up with in high school.  It is my nickname, my middle name, and a bastardization of part of my maiden name.

2. My name is ______ because ______.

My name is Jo-Anne Storm for the same reason as above.  Jo, to most people. 

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____.

My journal is titled "Blank Paper: God's way of telling us that it's not so easy being God" because it's a wonderful quote and demonstrates exactly why it is so hard to be a writer.

4. My friends page is called ____ because ____.

My friends page is called Friends, because I can't think of anything else witty.

5. My default userpic is ____ because ____.

My default userpic is the one I used with this post, because it is an image that shows up a lot when I do manips.  I don't have the original now (darn hard drive fail!) and can't find it on Getty Images.  But it's in most of them.

The first TEN people to comment to this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing (unless otherwise stated below). In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (If you absolutely can't write, maybe find a creative alternative?)

Fandoms: Buffy, Highlander, Stargate SG1/SGA, CSI (LV/NY), Harry Potter, House, West Wing, Batman (movies/ some comics), Bones, Doctor Who/Torchwood, Veronica Mars . . . (I'm sure that there are more, I just can't think of any right now) and crossovers with any of the fandoms listed.

Will Write: Pretty much anyone/anything.  It's just a drabble, after all.

Characters/Pairings Won't Write: I will not write explicit slash. 


Any takers?



1) Veronica/McKay, communication stone, panic, for brendanm720  -- Done
2) Methos and the StarGate, for kaylashay81 -- Done
3) Avatar, Trudy or Neytiri, for websandwhiskers -- Done
4) Luna, for spankerella -- Done
5) Veronica Mars/Don Flack, for autumnrhythm30 -- Done
6) Brennan and Hermione (Bones/HP), for amazonminkv-- Done!

Stolen from autumnrhythm30 and dream_mancer , because it looked interesting.

The rules:

1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages or comments you and asks—and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.

( Answer yes or no. )

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me.* In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.

Fandoms include SPN, Bones, BtVS, Angel, Dollhouse, The Mentalist, Leverage...  I'm sure that there are others I can write, I just can't think of them right now.  Oh, pretty much anything Vampire related, except for Anne Rice and LKH (been too long since I've read the former, never read enough of the latter to do any good).

Maybe this will get the ol' creative juices flowing again.

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

( Mal Chose 5 of mine. ) 

Anyone else want to pick an icon for me to chatter about?

Stolen from satyrnfive .

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 AND 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.

Go, play.

Borrowed from everyone. Because apparently I don't steal.



How evil are you?


I doubt this surprises anyone.  Though, I find the evil dinosaur in the background funny.

In other news, I tried to watch the season premiere of CSI:NY today.  Several times.  I give up.  I'll just wait a week and watch the DVRed copy.  Unless it got chopped off because of something like some people's had.  If so, I'll download it once I'm somewhere with a decent 'net connection.  The one here sucks.  Even with the DSL, it sucks.

*yawn*  Tired. 

Aquarium tomorrow!  We're leaving at about 8:30 in order to pick up SiL at her friend's house.  That should put us there at about 11-11:30.
