I think this will be the last version. XD Maybe if other people find places for improvement, we can even get a whole new, different meme?

The list of contributors is: me, lunapome, laylah, ratzeo, puella_nerdii, maho_kiwi, niwatorimegami, and das_dingsi (IJ). In this version, the latest modifications are in bold.

( The questions )

For those who want it, here's an alternate version of the sex meme, hopefully more interesting and free of damaging assumptions. Co-written by me, lunapome, laylah, ratzeo, puella_nerdii, and maho_kiwi.

Please share as you see fit. If there are any glaring errors or problems, feel free to comment and I'll fix them.

Enjoy!

( The questions )

For those of you who, like me, need a spot of brightness in your day, I'm doing the "why I like you" meme here.

shadawyn and mimerki both posted this meme, and it seems like a good idea: list 6 things that have recently made you happy.

So I'm taking a moment away from the deadline crunch in order to remind myself of things that have been good lately.

1. Last night I got to hang out at lunapome and music_enforcer's apartment, where they carved pumpkins and ratzeo and zinjadu and I ate candy.

2. The deadline I mentioned is because of a new responsibility at work, which furthers my goal of participating in recruiting and admissions. (Vague, I know; I'm just not sure how much I should blather about such matters on an unlocked post.) It's a little intimidating, but I'm glad to learn; plus, I'm pleased that my supervisors trust me with taking this on.

3. I have been eating so much chocolate lately because of Halloween. XD

4. shadawyn will be running her game this Saturday, and ratzeo will be running his on Sunday.

5. The end of Daylight Saving Time! I love getting to sleep in. 8D

6. Uh, this? I don't know, it amuses me.

Comment here and I will tell you what I think of you, honestly, no lies.

I should have the time to answer this while I'm at work, because I think it'll be a slow day. Also, it's one of the last days of my boss's vacation, so I'm doing it now before she comes back and I feel guilty. ^^;

My weekend was fun and relaxing, but oh, too short.

Karaoke last night was fun. Today is my last day of work before I go home. Things are looking good.

And now, a meme, ganked from jennifergearing:

( for 2007 )

One of the people in the office I work at is a fantastic baker (not to mention a very sweet woman). Today, for our receptionist's birthday, she baked a chocolate peppermint cake. :D~~ She also asked me when my birthday was (most people don't know since it happens over winter break and I'm not at work then), and then what my preferences for desserts are.

I think I might be getting a treat for my birthday. :o This probably shouldn't make me so happy, except that this woman's desserts really are that delicious. :D Plus it's really cool that I merit a birthday treat, since I am a student employee and not a "real" co-worker. ^^;

Also, a meme, ganked from everyone else:

( I should have known I'm a freak )

I've been at work for an hour, but I keep staring out the window and checking weather sites for updates about the evening storm that (supposedly) will bring a fresh batch of snow tonight. Here's hoping it holds off until I get home.

Of course, that means that I haven't been getting much actual work done because I can't concentrate. So what better solution was there but to do a meme?

( Me? Restless? Nah )

Am writing first philosophy paper for the quarter. Have not written philosophy papers in almost two years. Augh augh augh.

When speaking of a hypothetical situation in which a nation denies women the right to vote, would it be wrong to give the hypothetical nation the name "Wimmin Suxx0rs"? Y/N.

( And now, a meme )

750 words in the space of an hour and a half. I hope the rest of the paper goes this quickly. *crosses fingers*

This one is actually pretty darn accurate.

These meme results kind of weird me out:
