Memes, baby!

Gacked from edeainf:

In my first blog (Virtual Parchment)
I posted 173 entires.
I don’t know how many comments I recieved.

In my current blog (Bit of Ivory)
I’ve posted 267 entries (almost 200 double-posted in LJ)
I’ve recieved 595 comments.

In my Live Journal,
I’ve posted 197 entries
I’ve posted 449 comments and received 622.

My first blog post (Virtual Parchment, February 26, 2002): Saying that I decided to create a blog after Teri and RJA and other HoS Y!G people did.

My first Bit of Ivory post (December 2, 2002): Purely testing my new Moveable Type system.

My first LJ post (March 24, 2003): Trying to convince myself that I hadn’t sold out, and that I was only doing it to comment, and that I would double-post everything from my blog. Which is pretty much true.

Two years ago: (Nov 4, 2001) I had no blog or LJ. I had just started posting to the Harry Potter and the Heir of Slytherin thread at the Harry Potter Connection forums. I was eagerly looking forward to seeing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone on opening day. I was taking tap dancing and Editing for Publication in college, and dealing with roommate woes.

18 months ago: (May 4, 2002) No blog entry on that particular day, but I was suffering from broadband withdrawal symptoms and working at the BYU library. Had just started beta-reading Ancient Prophecy for Raven Snape.

A year ago: (Virtual Parchment- Nov 4, 2002) “Guess what I’m holding in my hot little hand? PICTURES!!! Now I have to get them scanned. Dad, if I was to send them home with Lisa and Laura, could you figure out a way to get them scanned and onto a CD-R? Please? Who’s your favorite daughter, after all? :)” (These pictures would be of our HP costumes from Halloween.)

6 months ago: (Blog and LJ, link is to blog, May 3, 2003, since I didn’t have an entry for the 4th) Strangely enough, I was doing a very similar meme, except this one when back 20 years rather than 2. :D

3 months ago: (Aug 4, 2003) Posted want-ads trying to repel the Albus plot bunny (didn’t work, obviously) and soliciting beta readers for my SQ contest entry. Finally got my college diploma.

1 month ago: (Oct 4, 2003) Rambling post about BYU football. Redesigned my LJ.

yesterday: Weekend update, squeeing about my apple pie.

Gacked from connielane, most recently:

Hidden ’cause it’s really long.

Last kiss: Never. *sigh* Unless you count my grandpa kissing me a couple of weeks ago.

Last good cry: June 21, 2003.

Last movie seen: Pirates of the Caribbean

Last cuss word uttered: Do you want *real* cuss word or fake one? ‘Cause I said “Oh my heck” this morning, but “Damn” a couple of weeks ago when I was quoting a movie line (“You damn saxy man!”, Bloody Mary, South Pacific. In reference to the new stockboy at Deseret Book who is not only really cute and a return missionary, but whose last name is–I kid you not–Saxey. Did not say this to his face, though).

Last beverage drank: Water.

Last food consumed: Fun-size Payday bar.

Last crush: James. Still ongoing, sadly. Also Orlando Bloom. :P

Last phone call: Just had a conversation with my brother.

Last time showered: ‘Bout 11 this morning.

Last shoes worn: My white tennis-type shoes.

Last cd played: Soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean

Last item bought: 2 months’ extra userpics. Or a raspberry milkshake at the movies on Friday night.

Last downloaded: “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon from iTunes.

Last annoyance: My uncle spilling pop on my newly-laundered sleeve last night.

Last disappointment: My new Heyer book arriving and containing a copy of one I’d already read and owned. :P

Last soda drank: A caffeine-free Pepsi a couple of days ago.

Last thing written: Aside from memes and blog posts, part of my latest plot bunny.

Last word spoken: “Birdie,” when my silly parakeet was chirping at me.

Last sleep: Last night from about 12:30 to 10:00 a.m.

Last IM: Y!M with Pam and Second_Batgirl today.

Last weird encounter: A strange customer in Deseret Book yesterday.

Last ice cream eaten: Sunday– vanilla with my apple pie.

Last time amused: While watching M*A*S*H*

Last time wanting to die: Hmm. Can’t think of one recently.

Last time in love: See “last crush” above.

Last time hugged: My almost-two cousin last night.

Last underwear worn: Umm. . .what I’m wearing now. :D

Last bra worn: Ditto.

Last shirt worn: Yesterday my white Deseret Book shirt, then my new green sweater. Today my new mustard/tan sweater.

Last time dancing: Too long. April, when my social dance class went to the Murray Arts Center.

Last poster looked at: RotK teaser poster on my wall. :D

Last show attended: What defines show? I’ll say The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Last webpage visited: LJ’s store to buy more userpics. :D

And now off to re-upload all my icons I’ve had to delete over the months. :D

    And you have 16? Yes? Attachment went through? Not bad…16 chapters in 18 months.
