Snow outside! Lots of it! And yet, I'm glad that some of it melted today. As nice as it was to sit by the fireplace yesterday, I like getting out instead of being stuck indoors the whole time. Also, my younger cousin was watching the movie adaptation of Ella Enchanted recently, and oh my God, were they TRYING to make it as awful as possible? I have nothing against Anne Hathaway, but that book was one of my favorites, and it saddens me that none of its clever writing and likable characters -- and yes, even-handed subversions -- made it through at all intact.

In the spirit of procrastination, I have two memes:

a) 1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.
2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.
5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.

And b) The TV Tropes meme. Give me three fannish tropes from any fandom I know listed on the site, and I'll give you my thoughts on it. If you want to know about certain ships/characters, please ask a specific question!

HAHAHA. =P I told you it was predictable?

1. I may have mentioned this, but it's all Alyssa's fault? Well, ish - she flailed about it a lot, and I thought it was pretty cool - you summon things by shooting yourself in the head? Awesome! - and then Kayla went and got into it too, and finally I was just like "ARGH I WILL GO BUY IT NOW INSTEAD OF WAITING TO BORROW" because it sounded cool.

AAAAND that was Persona 3, and I ended up buying Persona 4, since they didn't have 3. And I adored it, obviously.
On the other hand, I'm really not so into P3. I finally did borrow it, but I got spoiled by P4's game mechanics and the characters - with the exception of a few - don't really click with me. Maybe because EVERYONE has an angsty, angsty past? On the other hand, P4's cast is a lot more realistic? I guess. Sure, they have their problems, but it's not like "My little sister died in a fire at our orphanage and I couldn't save her D: D: D:" It's more "My parents and everybody around me have been pressuring me to do this my whole life, and I don't want to, but I don't have the courage to say anything/run away on my own."
I'll shut up now instead of going super tl;dr on you. Basic points: I like the gameplay, the plots are interesting enough, I adore the characters, and it's all Alyssa's fault, in the end.

2. I strongly dislike this question. XD But if I could only bring one book ever, it would probably be The Grey King, from the Dark is Rising Sequence. I'm not entirely sure WHY - it's just what came to mind first, and I like rereading it. Plus, it was always my favorite.

3. P-proud of? Um. I can think of the OPPOSITE really easy - see cat!drama - but I dunno. XD I'm proud of finishing Persona 4 AND NaNo in the same month? But that seems like a silly thing. XD

4. Er.... I've... never really thought about that? I can't say that I have one. I mean, occasionally I'll be annoyed, or some days I just won't want to talk to people, buuuut... usually I internalize it? Or at least the second one. If I don't want to talk to people, that's generally my own fault - I'm just not in the mood. As for the first, I dunno, I guess I just kind of don't mind much.

5. The sky only appears blue because of the refraction of light waves in the atmosphere - since the sky is really just transparent atmosphere up-close, I'd say not really. And as for the pot of gold, I really don't know, but I wish the kids would just leave Lucky alone. :( They're such pests. And I still think the Trix rabbit should just be allowed to have some, geez.

Okay. :)
