Today's another 'Rez-wraps-things-up' day. You have been warned. Don't worry, I'll cut things to spare your f-list space.
Number first, we were tagged about a billion years ago to do this meme, as the Agents, and we're just now getting around to it. What? We are busy people.
( Rez Does A Survey )
( Flip Does A Survey )
Second off, I'm concluding the movie-quotes meme as people have generally stopped guessing. The ones that were missed were mostly the more obscure ones, although I was surprised at a few..
( The ones that didn't get guessed: )
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) yami_to_hikari and festegurl92101 both got six right, so congratulations! You both win a mini-ficlet in the fandom of your choice! Hopefully you both know generally what fandoms I can write, so leave me a comment and let me know what you'd like. *pokes toward the comment box*
And finally, I'd like to introduce the newest occupant of RC 1020, Winston, probably the smallest and most harmless Dalek in existence.
( Pictures under here! )
Winston likes to explore, I've discovered, so if you see him around HQ don't panic, and please don't step on him.
*checks around* All right, I think that's it.. Rez, out. *click-fzzt!*

Because I'm even sheepier than all you sheeps out there (and because I like to make up words):
1. Pick 25 of your favorite movies.
2. Then pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
3. Post the quotes in your journal.
4. Have those on your friends list guess what the movie is. No googling!
5. Either strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified, or place the guesser's user name directly after the quote.
( Here be quotes! (And a bit of language, so look out.) )
And since I like the idea, I will award a mini-ficlet of your choice to whoever guesses the most. (Is it kind of sad that I had trouble coming up with 25 of these? ..I need to watch more movies.)

- If you lace Rez from the inside to the outside, the fit will be snugger around your big toe.
- About 100 people choke to death on Rez each year.
- In 1982 Time Magazine named Rez its 'Man of the Year'.
- Rez can usually be found in nests built in the webs of large spiders!
- The colour of Rez is no indication of her spiciness, but size usually is.
- Rez became extinct in England in 1486.
- If you chew gum while peeling Rez then it will stop you from crying.
- Rez kept at the window will keep vampires at bay.
- If you put a drop of liquor on Rez, she will go mad and sting herself to death!
- Japan provides over thirty percent of the world's Rez supply.
*baaah*
Still.. pretty amusing. Mwee.

Snaffled from boz4pm:
The first 10 people to comment on this post get to request a drabble– 100 words – on a subject/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for.
-HP
-Tamora Pierce (better with Tortall, but I can write CoM if I strain)
-Discworld
-Good Omens
-Hitchhiker's Guide
..and I think that's plenty to choose from.
And now I have a question to ask of the Almighty Friends List. Here is my situation. The guitar, which everyone knows is the love of my life, is coming with me to college. Which means that for all intents and purposes it is officially mine.
The problem? This means that it needs a name, and I am totally stuck for one. So. Suggestions? Inspirations? Places I can look? Things to avoid at all costs? Those who help will be bribed rewarded, possibly with icons, possibly with cookies, possibly with madsnuggles. Which everyone knows are the bestest.

Was tagged by nscangal. So.
Write a little paragraph about your name, why you chose it, what it means to you, etc.
Well, it really ought to have a hyphen in it. Whisk-y Business. It's a pun, see. Because of the Whisk.
The Whisk is kind of starting to take over my brain. I got the real-life Whisk two years ago for my birthday. It's just over three feet long and really freaking impressive. I had a bit of a whisk penchant- I wouldn't say 'obsession' really, but I rather liked them- before that, but that was the point at which it exploded. Now the Whisk shows up in almost everything I do.. it hasn't shown up in my novel or the sequels I'm planning in my head yet, but I figure it's only a matter of time.
When I started writing my PPC agents, I gave the Whisk-wielding job to Flip, as agent!Rez had most of my personal traits and I was attempting to make Flip more interesting. (That's also how the unstable-character-blip thing arose.) Then when I got this LJ account to put my PPC stuff on, I needed a creative username. Badfic missions are a pretty risky business, and we were using the Whisk, hence 'whisk-y business.'
And I could tell a bunch of stories about the name Rez. I can't remember how I came up with the name, but I used it for my PPC alias because I had recently cut the name out of a fanfic that I was changing to an original story and it was flapping around loose in my head. (The fanfic was a Hitchhiker's Guide one, but it only had a few tangential references to the books, so I cut them out and changed a bunch of things- which was a lot harder than I thought it would be- and it eventually became my NaNo novel. Rez was the main character's towel. You may snicker now.)
What would you change your name to, if you were changing it?
Hm, I dunno. My LJ username, I think, was going to just be 'rez' but it was already taken, IIRC. Later I gave agent!Rez a last name, Montrose, which has absolutely no meaning behind it save that it sounds nifty. So I suppose I could use that. 'Rez Montrose' is my name on other sites- deviantART, the NaNoWriMo site, and I'm debating changing my Pit name to that as well. But I like whiskybusiness.
What is your favorite username? Why?
I'm a fan of names with puns or obscure fandom references in them. chelonianmobile is one of my favorites. I'm also quite fond of ones with multiple meanings.. I had a friend who used 'Pendragon' on AIM for a while, setting my all-time record with three. (He was an artist, hence 'pen,' a dragon sign in the Chinese zodiac, and we had some kind of in-joke linking him with King Arthur that I can't remember now.)
Now, tag five other unfortunates whose usernames you would like to hear about:
Oh, mostly everyone's done this already. yattara, I want to hear about yours, since I haven't yet, and.. anyone else who hasn't done this yet and wants to. I'm always the last one to get around to memes. Ragh.

So I joined fanficrants. And I love it to pieces and all, but.. now all the entries on it are absolutely killing my f-list.
Does anyone know how to tweak it so that community entries won't show up on my f-list? Help will be greatly appreciated and probably rewarded with cookies and sparklies.
Because I want to read about you guys, too.

See?
Taken a bit by accident. I was taking a picture of some flowers in a vase and my friend put her glasses amongst them. She didn't realize the implications, nor did I try to explain why suddenly-beglassesed flowers made me go squee.
Also, I made an icon.

I was bored and flipping through a site that explained Elvish names, on which there was also a Sindarin phrasebook. And it translated "Ai!" as "Eek!"
And lo, there arose a mental picture:
Hopefully I will be able to do that shirt next. *yays*

This is just too much fun.
Here are chibi!Agents, in all their messed-up-JPG glory, getting ready to wreak some havoc, Flip with a thingy that vaguely resembles a Whisk and Rez with.. a gigantic pitchfork. Just because it's fun.

My first post for Back to Middle-Earth Month-
A random elfy-girl. Wearing my glasses.
I'm not really sure where she came from, but I'm rather proud of the way she came out. In my head she has kind of a vague backstory- but really, what I'm thinking is, if elves are immortal, and if we go by the popularly accepted fantheory that Middle-Earth = Earth waaaaay back in the day, they'd still be around today. So I got to wondering, what would they think of all the rampant fandom going on? Would they be shocked and horrified? (I would be, if people were writing badfic about me.) Would they just ignore it? I rather think some would be quietly amused and snerk at the silly mortals, like Random J. Elleth here.
..I may do something with this, actually. As I typed it all out, it started to intrigue me. *pokes* Stupid Nuzgul.

Yoinked from boz4pm:
March 2006: Back to Middle-Earth Month
"Miss the golden days of the Lord of the Rings fandom? Get homesick for Middle-Earth?
Then this is for you!
You don't need to sign up anywhere to participate. But if you see this on your friends-page and like the idea, please post this text to your LJ to spread the word.
How to participate:
1. Pick a day of the week (or more than one) on which you resolve to always post something LotR-related in March, and let your friends-list know.
2. Go back and read your favourite chapters from the book, or watch the movies again. Let the beauty of LotR inspire you. And then, share the love.
3. Start your subject line with (B2MEM) when you post, and use a "b2mem" tag. This'll make it easy to spot your B2MEM-entries.
No matter if you just ramble about your undying love for LotR, picspam us, post wallpapers, icons, or write fan fic / create fan art, the plan is to get as many LotR-related entries on our friends-pages as possible throughout March.
Sounds good? We've been there, let's go back again!"
This should be lots of fun. LotR, I admit, is not my main fandom, but I'm quite willing to give this a go. My day will most likely be Friday or Saturday as I'm not generally doing anything productive then. Expect doodlage and random arts-and-crafts, as is my wont. (Actually, I've been thinking about doing a shirt with my name in Elvish..)
On a completely unrelated note, the latest mission is almost done. w00tage.

Sometimes my brain forgets when to stop typing. It's like 'banana.' *pokes brain*
Anywho, yoinked this from boz4pm.
Leave a list of fictional characters in your journal that you would love to get a message from. Your f- and f-of-list's mission, should they choose to accept it, is to write you an in-character "letter" from a character on that list. Then they post their own list in their journal and the process continues!
( My list )
( Also, my pirate name! )

I was tagged by boz4pm, in a manner of speaking, to list five weird habits that I have. So here goes!
1. When I'm nervous, stressed, distracted, or bored to tears, I pull out little strands of my hair and play with the roots. It grosses people out, but I'm getting better about that.
2. I get songs stuck in my head and can't get them un-stuck until I learn the whole song word-for-word. I do this with entire musicals sometimes.
3. At home, I speak a highly strange blend of backwards-speak, Franglais, words with random letters inserted, cursing, and nonsense. So does my Dad, actually. We have entire conversations.
4. I subsist almost entirely on a diet of cheese sandwiches, tomato soup, milk, apple juice, and junk food of various varieties. Sometimes I eat pizza but I always take all the toppings off. It's a miracle I'm still alive, really.
5. I do silly little dances for everything.
You're supposed to tag five people to do this, but I suppose I'm tagging anyone who hasn't done it yet and wants to, as my flist is still pathetically small. Ready, set, go!
