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.

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.).
