Memes

This is like, a double meme.

1)

Concrit. Stop by if you think I'm doing anything wrong you've wanted to talk to me about for pointed_spoon, _to_the_bone, underwater_owl or not_a_wizard.

If you're rational/nice about it I might even listen!

2)

The Question Game. Any question, personal, happy, embarassing, sexual, pointless, whatever. Comments screened and anony-enabled so no need to be embarassed.

This is how painfully bored I am.

*lesigh*

I need an emoticon for the Arched Eyebrow of Doom (tm)

I don't get screening. I never comment on things that are screened, because I ALWAYS feel like the first person to comment.

That said.

And I'm brain-dead and curious.

Why'd you start RPing Random? And where does his user name come from? Okay, two questions, but...see comment on brain-deadedness.

[knights-say-nih.livejournal.com]

Heh. Interesting questions.

Well, the gist of it is that I was introduced to Milliways through Adiva. I chose Random because I was absolutely in love with the character, much more than I ever cared about Corwin. My first choice was someone who was already claimed, though I can't remember who now... But the minute I saw that Random was free I lunged for him.

His username comes from an amusing twist of fate coupled with total incompetance. When I started Milliways I had no idea how to RP. Nor what on Earth livejournal was. So when it said 'type in username' I just sort of blinked at it. And thought it meant my name. So I typed in an old pseudo I'd used a while back from when I used to be into fanfiction.

It was only AFTER Random was accepted that I realized it was going to pop up absolutely everywhere. And then I swore fluently but it was too late. It's not a case of Mary Sue-dom where I named my character after myself.... I just honestly didn't know what I was doing.

On the other hand, I half like it. When I first adopted it it was, I think, in brutal honesty, because of a Harry Potter fic called 'Underwater Light' that got imprinted in my mind, though I didn't realize it at the time.

Now I just say 'It's something random' and shrug it off with a grin. Such is life.

You know, I always have the utmost respect for people who start RPing in Milliways and manage to get it to work.

And...that background amuses me. I always thought it was something deep and meaningful that I never got, but that makes much more sense. And suits him, now.

It's why my AIM and Gmail have it, even though I had them long before I was on Milliways. There's probably even some old, bad fanfiction published under it God knows where.


And Christ, I'm amazed I survived. Thankfully Adiva walked me through most of it, and by then I'd been in chat for a couple of weeks and knew enough people to be able to jump in..... though to my trauma my initial entrance post went untagged.

And then so did the tag I gave to the first person I got up the courage to bother... my first thread was with Hannibal Lecter. My second was with Asmodean. Then Duo Maxwell. Then Garion and Yrael. And from there I don't remember.

Auspicious beginnings, huh? I don't think it actually helped all that much. I was new and much too eager to impress. Probably hurt my quality with anxious gimmicks and stuff, you know?

I still make a point of tagging entrance posts that haven't been touched yet.

*nods* I don't remember him much, just the icon. I sadly have a thing against picture icons, though. *looks rueful* Bad habit, I know.

And that's not a BAD thing, really.

I just snipped it in. It was the Magician card and I had no idea of what picture I had for him. It was about a month before I got David Wenham. And now I don't think I could picture him as anyone else.

I spent a long time searching though. Including looking at Steve McQueen.

God defend me from trying to find PBs for people...It took me over a year to settle with Eva Green for Delia.

And I think David is perfect, even though I still have an impulse to call him 'Diver Dan'. Random in my head speaks a lot faster then Diver Dan does, Dan has this slow, sardonic drawl happening.

[knights-say-nih.livejournal.com]

David took me a few months, and I'm glad I've never seen that show. I have to admit, Carl from Van Helsing has his voice a little more than any other... though not so fluty-femine... gah. I'm not making sense. And I'm annoyed because LJ ate the tag I put here last night.

Jack was a different story. I saw the pb on a research project about ballet and looked at him and went 'oh WOW he'd make a great Jack Frost' without even having wanted to app the character. Then the next day I was working on icons.

Rasputin as Dworkin... I think that was Madb's doing, though I don't really remember how.
