writer's snark

news page posts announcements periodically, including a sample of recent answers to the LJ Writer's Block "Question of the Day". Today's announcement included some answers to the question "Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why?"
You just know that's going to be good.
Anna Marie Darkholme AKA Rogue Because I love her, because she deserves it more than anyone else I know, and you don't get to know the rest.
I have to admit that sex with Rogue could be pretty amazing. That whole power absorption thing is potentially like the ultimate erotic asphyxiation game.
Polgara the Sorceress from the David Eddings books. She is well aged, infinitely wise, imminently powerful, and gorgeous.
Well aged?
This one is SOOOOO easy. I would date Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a second. My obsession with Donatello is probably not healthy but I dun care.
The proviso is my favorite part of this. Probably not healthy! But I don't care! We're in LOVE, dammit! And if you can't see that all the other problems in this crazy world don't amount to a hill of beans...
I pity you and your "conventional relationships."
I would most like to take Michael Madsen from Reservoir Dogs on a date. Particularly his character, Mr. Blonde. I enjoy his undying cynicism and craziness. In essence, he's sexy.
Oh god. I can't get the image out of my head now of two teenagers in bed, humping away in adolescent frenzy, whispering, "Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie? Or are you gonna bite?"
Edward Scissorhands, because I probably love him more most than other fictional character and possibly more than a good amount of real people.
You know, I have a feeling he could say the same thing about you.
Oh, it's NO CONTEST there! I'd choose Hannibal Lecter from The Silence of the Lambs. He's real smart, perceptive and has a gorgeous pair of eyes. Oh, and he seems to have some interesting recipes.
Shaggy, from Scooby Doo. I've always had a crush on him. How fun would it be to smoke some weed and then investigate haunted houses? BEST DATE EVAR!
OK, you know what? Now my faith in humanity has been restored a little bit.

other crazy things I do
Oct. 9th, 2009 09:41 pmI have recently decided I have found a use for Twitter that makes sense to me: Twitter short stories. Each one is supposed to be completely self-sufficient; have a story arc with a beginning, middle, and an end; characters who motivate and intrigue, with unique voices; compelling plots; and addressing my favorite themes, of hope, loss, faith, love, despair, and redemption.
My goal is to write one a day. I have not been so successful at that, but hey! Goals are important! Please feel free to leave feedback if you are so inclined.

PSA, for those of you who are recent additions to this journal: I post a lot of photographs here. Most of them are pictures of the kids, or some project I'm working on, or are in some way a commentary on my life.
I also keep a photojournal,
pixilator, where I post photos I've taken that I really like or just find interesting or want to share for some other reason, but which don't necessarily bear a lot of relevance to my life. If you like the photos I post here, you might like those, too.
