I know it's asking a WHOLE LOT but

I'm tired and hungry and I have things to clean and write. I'm going to post about my amazing fucking adventures over spring break when I get a chance, but right now you can have some memey shit.

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

and

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick three of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts. [note: plz to be specifying that you'd like icon tagged]
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

grace_in_spades wanted me to explain:

The eyes in the icon belong to Danny Elfman. The lyrics are from the song "Insanity" (note: video could be considered a little creepy), from their 1994 album "Boingo." (The album is not nearly as silly as the name implies. In fact, it's fairly dark.)
I use this icon to denote the following:
--Something pertains to Danny Elfman or someone he's had professional contact with
--I feel subversive and/or wicked
--REDHEADS ROWR

This is from a fifteenth-century mural in Segovia, Spain. I did not take the picture myself, just cropped it and sharpened it a bit. I don't know why the child's eyes are so dark. Perhaps Segovia had an infestation of the "Village of the Damned" kids.
I use this icon to denote the following:
--Children are evil
--Something spooky is going on
--I want to make you slightly uncomfortable

The lyrics come from the Groovie Ghoulies' song "Zombie Crush". The picture is from some movie poster, but I don't remember which one. :(
I use this icon to denote the following:
--Something involves zombies, mad science, or body parts being futzed with
--I am secretly in love with you
--Shut the fuck up

Also: What does the phrase "writing with neurological ink" mean to you?

What does your brain predict for how this whole damn political year is gonna shake down? We've got New York politix gone to bosh (thank you Eliot not-Ness); the black vs. woman factor; and the generational shift re: McCain (1937), HRC (1947), and Obama (1961)? Will there be rioting in the streets of Denver? A brokered convention? Will the talking heads on the idiot box actually select our leader? And what, what, what would the bastard lovechild of Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings, and Abraham Lincoln have to say about it in this, the approaching bicentennial of both the Railsplitter and Charles Darwin? (Yes, I know it's a three-way and can't actually produce offspring and also the parallel years of fertility don't match up. We're playing with historical ether here.)

From least likely to most likely

--Barack Obama will win and immediately set about unleashing the iron fist hidden in that strong-yet-gentle (and sensitive) hand, turning America into a crushing dictatorship of hope and understanding.
--Barack Obama will be assassinated. Conspiracy theories pop up immediately surrounding his death. There is mild unrest and many protests, but the basic governmental structure of the government keeps on chugging along.
--John McCain will get the presidental nomination and choose some formerly reasonably well-known has-been Hollywood dude to run as his running mate.
--Hillary Clinton will either be vice president or lose to the Republicans, and no matter what she does she will act miffed but not uncouth, proceed to attempt to run politics from the background, and be constantly rebuffed.
--The other Republican candidates will fade away. One will become a frequent guest star on a televangelism show.
--Ron Paul will be the newest Independent joke.

Lovely icon . . . did you know that song already, or had I told it to you? Just to stick it to the Nasties, long dead though they may be, I'm having Chinese for dinner tonight. A Jew eating barbaric Asian food -- nothing could be finer.

McCain's considering the governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, for his veep. I dunno. The dude has one of those weird pumpkin-colored "tans" you get from taking dye pills rather than tanning the honest way (in a nap-and-bake oven at the mall). Do we really want a TV anchorman in the number-two slot?

Looks like we get to do another vote here in Michigan, so get ready for that (cough*Obama*cough).
