5000 posts in 6 years

jebbypalCan anyone believe it's been 6 years (as of May 5)? Or that I've made 5000 posts? Okay, well, yes, a lot of those were beck from when I did news posts as a way to avoid thinking about hell lab and all, but still. 5000. Given that those of you that have been with me for much of that time haven't hit 5000, I don't know if I like what that says about me, but ah well.
This post has gone through a lot of drafts because I couldn't figure out the approach to take (and thanks, flist, for all the suggestions /sarcasm :P). I don't want to be mopey, I don't want to leave people out, and I want this to be fun. So it's going to be a catchall post! (In which I may hit the figure limit for the first time in a non-fanfic post). Also, hattip to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
halcyon_shfit for the idea.
First, random lines from every post made on or around this day in the last six years: You know what, the past via Memes is MUCH more fun.
Please feel free to participate in as many as you like:
Meme 1

Meme 2
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. -- I'm not tagging. Play along at your own pleasure.
We Don't Live Here Anymore - Jakob Dylan
Actually heard this album in Barnes and Noble yesterday, knew it was Jakob Dylan, but assumed it was Wallflowers. So far my love for this is very centered around the sound and haven't gotten to the point of analyzing lyrics. Jakob's voice always hits my sound kink, I love the arrangement, and this is one of the songs on the album that Neko Case's backing vocals really shine. Definitely recommend the album Women and Country to any Wallflower fans.
Stupid Thing - Nickel
Sound kink for the win! If everything Nickel did sounded like this, they would be my favorite band ever. Also, awesome lyrics that epitomizes the danger of drunk dialing, or any after relationship act.
Swing Life Away - Rise Against
If you haven't heard any version of this, you must. Try to find the acoustic version. I heard this on a random audio session on a local radio station and fell in love. Was rather surprised when I bought an album and discovered that they are rather very hard rock. Appeal to Reason is the album of their's that I prefer as it's bit more commercial and less on the metal side. However, the acoustic version of this song really lets the vocals of the singer shine, and it also captures a piece of Americana similar to John Mellencamp. Love it.
Kiss Kiss - Hint
This hits my almost swing kink button. Love the song, very fast paced, reminscent of Panic at the Disco but without the esoteric lyrics. I will find the fandom that this fits and convince someone to vid to this (or to I Want it To Feel Like Love)
Busted - Matchbox 20
This song has been one of my sound kinks since I got the album way back in the 90s. One of the very few songs where Rob Thomas's voice has the perfect scratchy deepness, absolute love of the lyrics (which I always wanted to see made into a Brimstone vid for some reason)
I dreamed that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
In my head I heard the sound
Like fifteen strangers dancing
Fuck Your Fear - The Walkabouts
throaty sound kink, with gritty arrangement, and desperate lyrics. 'Nuff said.
I Want All of You; Medicate Myself - The Verve Pipe
It's almost impossible for me to separate these songs. I Want All of You is lovely, desperate love song that almost crosses the line to stalkery without going the Death Cab for Cutie safety line, while Medicate Myself is classic problem addiction song. Both feature the classic scratchy vocals of Verve Pipe that I can never get enough of. I don't think I'll ever overplay these two songs.
And my responses the first time around
Meme 3
Interview Me
So, if you are so inclined, this would be the place where you can feel free to ask me 3-5 questions about myself, my opinions, my writing, my icons, or whatever. I'll answer to the best of my ability --- depending on the subject matter, the response posts will be under a general flist lock (ie, I don't talk about work in public posts, etc).
Meme 4
Who on LJ/DW do you ship me with? Bonus points for outlining the ridiculous AU fic that you would write about us.
Meme 5 -
Give me a character from any fandom, tv show, movie, book you know that I know and I will tell you:
a. My favorite thing about that character.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
f. Their ship from hell.
g. Their song.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
i. The last bad dream they had.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.
Meme 6 - Time Stamp Meme
Basically, give me a time before or after any fic I've written, and I'll write at least 100 words on it. Fics here, but look at tags as the round up post hasn't been updated in a while.
Meme 7 - Icon Meme
Ask me about one of my icons...
Meme 8 - Fake Memory Meme
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.
When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your b
log and besurprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY rememberabout you.
Past results=hilarious
