here, i can do memes too.

As [livejournal.com profile] cereta says, let's distract one another on a Monday:

Go here and choose the following ...
1. One that makes you automatically think of me.
2. One that you think I should TOTALLY use more often.
3. One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it.

Bunches of them. I'll go with:


One that you think I should TOTALLY use more often.

Yeah, I know, you do use it, but it's my favorite.

One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it.

Heh. The tiny text (which I would have made clearer, had I made the icon) says "[70%] how you look, [20%] how you sound, [10%] what you say" -- and the picture is Eddie Izzard pretending to sing The Star-Spangled Banner. It's a bit of his routine about how few Americans seem to know all the words to our national anthem, but that's okay, because as long as you look good and sound like you know what you're doing, you can more or less convince anyone. :-D

When we had both just arrived at Oxford, my friend [livejournal.com profile] servalan decided it would be a good idea to start up a fanfic society there -- which she named the Oxford University Folklore and Fan Fiction Society, or OU3FS. At the very first meeting, however, someone -- I think it was [livejournal.com profile] foulds -- pointed out that as an unofficial society without approval from the relevant office, etc. etc., we couldn't actually use the name of Oxford University. So [livejournal.com profile] cannons_at_dawn pulled out a pink highlighter and crossed out the U, making our new name OU3FS, or O>U<3FS, as it's sometimes spelled. This became our society's logo, on account of there's also a joke to be made with "non-U" (they're still a little hung up, in Britain, on U vs. non-U, the idea that class distinction is reflected in dialect, and whether you say "napkin" or "serviette" and whether you pronounce "scone" to rhyme with "hone" or with "gone", etc.).
