Another meme, but this is a nice give-something-back-to-your-Friends-list kind of meme. Stolen from the excellent lightningspark.

Hence:

Reply to this post and...

1. I will tell you what song reminds me of you.
2. I will tell you what celebrity/public/fictional person you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.
3. I will give you one word that I associate with you when I think of you.
4. I will tell you what colour(s) I associate with you.

Then steal this for your journal and make someone else's day as well.

Also, the LJ Meme o' D00m:

The Great LiveJournal Outage of 2005 During the outage I regained vision in my right eye. What did you do? Brought to you by geek-foo

LMAO! Couldn’t have got a result any more pertinent. My right eye is weaker than the left, and it hurts/goes blurry if I stare at a computer screen for too long. Bless you LJ, and your brief eye-saving ways.

Yeah I know. Finished the biography thing last night which is what made me think of it.
It's a really long poem, you know. I think for Yeats I'll just do "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven". It's short. ;)

Lipstick. Check. With glitter!

Of course I did, I never pass up free stuff.

I shall be Cliché Beck and recite Sailing to Byzantium. But not the beginning! Just from "consume my heart away" onwards.

Glitter is so gaudy on a grave. But you know what ? He'd probably think it sublime.

Ooh. More poets should do appropriate death poems... well, I'm sure most of them have. This is what I would recite if I visited particular graves. Mwahahahaha:

Tennyson: "Crossing the Bar"
Coleridge: "Human Life: On the Denial of Immortality"
Keats: "When I Have Fears"
Shelley: "Lines"
Wordsworth: Oh, he's not really a death-y writer. It'd have to be a Lucy poem.


Of course Oscar would have adored glitter. It would probably have been his signature rather than the lily. Hee.

Good choices!

Tennyson did write In Memoriam, and it would so be appropriate IF IT DIDN'T GO ON FOREVER.

We should visit Christina Rossetti's grave (wherever on earth she is) because then we'd be spoilt for choice with maudlin poetry.

Wordsworth? I'll recite something at his grave, and it bloody won't be poetry. >:

Poor Oscar. He would have adored glitter. And kitsch stores! And Ikea. He would probably have written an ode to Ikea furniture.

I do know the "Break, break, break" bit of In Memoriam, so we could do that one. And "When I am dead, my dearest" etc. for Christina. Oh! Emily Dickinson. Also spoilt for choice there.

And he definitely wouldn't have written Dorian like Will fecking Self did!

Hey, Becky. Remember that fic we wrote about a year ago? THAT NEARLY KILLED ME? Just reminiscing about old times...

[rebness.livejournal.com]

Heehee. Yeah, I remember that. I remember when I used to write a fair bit of fanfic, but then RP and, you know, work, got in the way of everything. Good times, Anna, good times.

Hey, I wonder where Virginia Woolf is?

I actually got out my Oscar Wilde complete works when I went to bed and there were all the circles I'd drawn around relevant parts of Reading Gaol and even other poems. Oh, Oscar, so good for the inspiration. :::nods:::

Never mind the fanfic. You have an original to work on now!

I dunno, wandering the streets of London buying flowers?
