If you're nice to me, I'll tell you the three that I missed.

All right, I admit that I'm curious.

Feel free to use "anonymous", but please tell me about me in my Johari window.

And please don't pick some attribute just to be polite. I'd like to know what my warts are. So please also use my Nohari window. Thank you.

(I will be checking up on my results from time to time.)

Ganked from ailsaek:

These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing's users (as of ["]today["]). As usual, bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn't finish, and strike through what you couldn't stand. The numbers after each one are the number of LT users who used the tag of that book.
( I told you guys I'm a slow reader; many of you will be appalled at what I have not read. )

It's been a while, so I ganked this meme from taura_g. Before looking under the cut, guess which Firefly/Serenity character I am.

( No, no, guess first. Then click. )

I basically agree with the rankings, but not necessarily the questions or weight.

Now, I really have to get back to work.

Another fun meme brought to you by rfreebern

I'm certain that Thag has reduced my overall level by an appreciable amount.

"The American Film Institute has released an updated 100 best films listing. Bold those you've seen, strike out those you couldn't make it through, italicize the ten *you'd* have put in the top 10."
( 100 lines about 100 films )

Of course, some movies I'd put in the Top 10 aren't even on the AFI Top 100 list, like Yellow Submarine.

Ganked most recently from plaidsheep, the tripping and stumbling down memory lane, "High School Madness!", starring Peorgie Tirebiter:

Questions which were not on this meme but should have been:

"Did you buy a class ring?" (My answer: no. I didn't want to remember high school. I do wear my college ring.)

"Where in your class did you graduate?" (My answer: #3 out of more than 300; #1 was a senior-year import son of two college professors, and #2 was another asocial recluse.)

As I wait for a coworker to commit an interface I need to do my real work, here's a meme I got from ailsaek. You fill in each question with the first word that pops into your head that begins with the same letter as your first name.

Your Name: Mark
Famous Artist/Musician/Band: Morphine
3 letter word: met
Street name: Main
Color: mauve
Vehicle: Mercury [1]
TV Show: Miami Vice [2]
State/City: Maine [3]
Boy Name: Mark
Girl Name: Marcia
Alcoholic drink: meade
Occupation: manager
Flower: morning glory [1]
Celebrity: Mike Marshall [4]
Food: meat
Something found in a kitchen: mom [5]
Reason for Being Late: moping [1]
Something You Throw Away: mail
Cartoon Character: Mighty Mouse [6]
Something You Shout: Merde!

[1] My brain jammed on these, insisting on a word that didn't start with 'M'
[2] The fascinating thing about this is that I didn't have a television when this series was on the air.
[3] This was, no doubt, influenced by the "Main Street" reference; otherwise, I'm certain I'd've thought of "Massachusetts" first.
[4] Mike Marshall? I mean, okay, I probably saw him pitch for the Montreal Expos when I was a kid, but I haven't thought of him at all in years.
[5] This actually refers to tamidon, my kids' mom, not my own mom. She gets called "mom" so often around the house, my brain has apparently attached her image to this name.
[6] I find it fascinating that I came up with this before "Mickey Mouse".

What I like about this one, besides the cutting edge visuals, are the proto-surf guitars and the saxophone.

I'm pro-choice on everything; reproductive freedom and medical freedom are not exceptions.

It is not possible to consider abortion to be a criminal act unless the woman receiving the procedure is opposed to it. The only other way is by invoking lame superstition.

And lame superstition makes for bad public policy.
