This is my life

In your own space, resurrect an old meme. Have fun with it! Which is the goofiest meme you can think of? Put on your party hat and be silly!!

Oh my GOSH you guys!!!!! I did so many of these back in the day! I have 151 things tagged meme on this journal (which includes my LJ that was ported over back when I came to Dreamwidth) so feel free to trawl that for ideas.

I love these a lot, so I'm gonna have to force myself to NOT put 150 of them in here. But, I can't help myself, so here are a bunch of my favorites! Feel free to play any of these in the comments, or steal them for your own journal or whatever.

What Kind of Dungeons and Dragons Character Would You Be? This is super long! It's over 100 questions! But fun, and as I play dnd I do think about this from time to time.
( I've always considered myself a bard, but the meme is probably right when it says Neutral Good Human Sorcerer )
( WIP Names Meme )
( WIP Meme (as I writer, there are LOTS of these, and I think we should resurrect all of them!) )
( Another writing one, this one transplanted from tumblr (20 questions for people to ask about) )
( Top Five )
( 5 Ingredient Fics (Hey, I made this one up myself!) )
( A learning more about you meme )
( Oh, a shipping meme! )
( Another getting to know you meme )
( OH! A fun random character meme that's good for getting your brain thinking creatively )

I Am A: Neutral Good Human Wizard/Rogue (3rd/3rd Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength-12
Dexterity-12
Constitution-13
Intelligence-19
Wisdom-15
Charisma-17

Alignment:
Neutral Good A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against order. However, neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.
Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.
Primary Class:
Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells, everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar- a small, magical, animal companion that serves her. With a high Intelligence, wizards are capable of casting very high levels of spells.
Secondary Class:
Rogues have little in common with each other. While some - maybe even the majority - are stealthy thieves, many serve as scouts, spies, investigators, diplomats, and simple thugs. Rogues are versatile, adaptable, and skilled at getting what others don't want them to get. While not equal to a fighter in combat, a rogue knows how to hit where it hurts, and a sneak attack can dish out a lot of damage. Rogues also seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to avoiding danger. Experienced rogues develop nearly magical powers and skills as they master the arts of stealth, evasion, and sneak attacks. In addition, while not capable of casting spells on their own, a rogue can sometimes 'fake it' well enough to cast spells from scrolls, activate wands, and use just about any other magic item.

ETA: Pretty sure the rogue part should've been a bard, but that wasn't an option (sad). I'm a jack of all trades and a musician, and bard is pretty much me.

In honor of my return to DW, a meme!

( Cut for the 'how YOU doin' meme. )

When you see this, share 3 random lines from 3 WIPs. And I'm going to take "lines" to mean "paragraphs" because that's how I roll.

Ah, what the hell. Two Supernatural epics and that one RPF I said I was gonna do.

1. "And I didn't realize Sam was Sammy."

Dean laughs, the tension leaving him in a rush and he picks up another box to go digging for coffee mugs. "Big brother's prerogative."

He pulls out a pair of mugs, glancing at Dave with a grin. The look of relief on his face is comical, and Dean would chafe at being thought of as Sam's boyfriend except he's chafing at the fact that the dude thinks anyone who had Dean at home would bother to cheat on him.

2. "What's up?" Misha asks, and Jensen looks over at him, too tired to try and figure out what he's talking about. Misha wrinkles his forehead in his "I'm concerned" face and says, "You've been moping all day. Something on your mind?"

Jensen frowns and Misha puts his hands up. "Okay, not moping, fine, if you don't want to talk about it."

Jensen rolls his eyes. Honestly, Misha is the worst.

3. Cas nods. "You don't need to drink or eat, either, but I imagine those habits will be harder to break."

Sam sets the beer down, sighing. There's no point in drinking if he's not even going to get a buzz.

"I, on the other hand," Cas says with a sudden, huge grin that makes him look younger than Kevin, "am what Dean calls 'a lightweight.'"

In your own space, talk about your creative process - from what inspires you to what motivates you to how you manage to break through blocks. Does your process change depending on the type of creating you're doing?

( Cut for length. What, me blather on? I can't believe it! )

In case you want to play along!
