As seen on mijan

I'm going to omit the ones that include personal info. That's most of them, actually.

3. YOUR RAP NAME (first initial of first name and first three or four letters of your last name):
G-Rhe. Pronounced "G-Ray," it sounds cool. Pronounced like it's actually pronounced in my name, "G-Reh," sounds dumb.

4. YOUR GAMER TAG (a favourite colour, and a favourite animal)
Purple Monkey (Dishwasher).

9. SUPERHERO NAME: ("The", your favourite colour and the automobile your dad drives)
The Blue Rav4 EV. It's electric! He even got the charger modded so he could take it with him and plug it into a regular outlet. And he has solar panels in the back yard (he mostly charges the car at home, the portable charger is for if he's going an unusually long way).

10. YOUR ACTION HERO NAME (first name of the main character in the last film you watched, last food you ate)
Joe Black Bean Soup and Cornbread. It would've been Joe Sushi if I'd done this before dinner. I also had this awesome eggplant dish. It was just half an eggplant, cooked in some delicious miso sauce. The movie was Idiocracy. I liked it. Especially how with a lot of the stuff in the future, I thought "yeah, it's pretty much like that now."

At least it wasn't Joe Dirt.

stanharding did this and I thought it was cool so I'm going to copy him.

If my life were a series of books a la Harry Potter:

• Gillian Rhett and the Heiroglyphic Stamps - Elementary school. I was totally into ancient Egypt and I had these stamps...


• Gillian Rhett and the Total Lack of Motivation - Junior high. Deepest pit in hell.


• Gillian Rhett and the Blue Hair Dye - In high school, I dyed my hair blue. It's on my driver's license photo.


• Gillian Rhett and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich - uni year 1. Mmm, dining commons food.


• Gillian Rhett and the Roommates from Hades - year 2


• Gillian Rhett and the Double Major - year 3 - declared my anthro major


• Gillian Rhett and the Five Subject Notebook - year 4 - upper division p-chem!


• Gillian Rhett and the Monkey's Blood - year 5/1st job, doing monkey genetics


• Gillian Rhett and the Awesome Database - 2nd job, in which I built an awesome database which we're still using today.

Having been quasi-tagged by wormlover (I don't think you're allowed to tag everyone who reads it...), here's a meme wherein I post five quirky habits I have.

1. My cat and I have a rigid morning routine. Get up, pet the cat for a bit (because she waits outside my bedroom door in the morning), pee, flush the toilet (cat must watch the toilet flush and gets upset if I try to shut the lid) wash hands, brush teeth, explain to cat that I have to take a shower now, get cat out of shower, have a shower (in which I must, in this exact order, wash hair, wash body, wash face), blowdry hair, get dressed.

2. Um... I'm already getting stuck. Does being too busy to eat count? I think it counts. How about "hardly eat anything all day then have a humongous dinner to make up for it?" I don't know if these are quirky enough or if everybody does these.

3. I am hyper-organized at work. I love making folders in my computer and organizing everything. Today I made some new folders for the conference I'm going to and for stuff I was cleaning out of my e-mail attachments folder. It was awesome.

4. I don't do my laundry often enough. I've got a big pile of it right now. And I hardly ever fold pajamas or underwear. I just leave it in the clean laundry basket and dig it out as I need it.

5. One more! I drink water out of a giant bottle. I get these 1 gallon bottles of water from Trader Joe's and I refill them with filtered water from home and I bring them to work.

Meme from holly_toadstool and KLM: Which countries I've visited (blue) and which countries I'd like to visit (white).

( my map )

( and a survey meme )

( Family Guy Quiz )

Hardly surprising.

In my defense, my co-workers spent about half an hour looking at Something Awful.

So here you go.
( Seven deadly sins meme )

( and the countdown meme )

And now that all the worry is over, I'm going to inflict some meme crap on you.

( first, that hearts quiz that's been going around )

and then there's another thing but first:
Holy crap, I have to see this movie Kingdom of Heaven. Look how hot the cast is! Liam Neeson, Jeremy Irons, David Thewlis, overrated-but-nonetheless-hot Orlando Bloom. And... and... Alexander Siddig! For those of you who aren't Trekkie nerds, he was Dr. Bashir on DS9! I had such a thing for him! I read Bashir/Dax fanfics! I hadn't really discovered slash at that point, or else it would've been Bashir/Garak. Or Gul Dukat. Because Cardassians are hawt. Anyway. You know where I'll be, uh, whenver that movie comes out.

Now here's the meme.
