The best therapy.

Because I'm in a funk of legendary scale, it's time for mindless fun. Memes!

First up, an icon meme! The rules:
1. Reply to this post with "UNICORNS", and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.


[livejournal.com profile] raving_liberal gave me these fine selections:


A video of a scientist using his graphite-core stir rod from Look Around You and an exclamation from Brainiac. You see, the alarmingly prolific artiste you find here (I can't sigh hard enough) is by day a mild-mannered lab slave! Who used to love science! Okay, still kind of loves science, but really wants it to get the fuck away from her day to day life. Either way, I need a science icon.


Kurt has successfully recruited Holly Holiday to sub at Glee Club. I do not remember why I was scrounging around in that episode for images, but I'm sure glad I was, because, well. Look. Kurt! <3


From one of the greatest webcomics in all existence - White Ninja. That guinea pig sure is feeling good about itself.


This is 噛み猫/Bitey Cat. He will bite you. He will be adorable and entice you to pet him and then he will bite you. Actually, he may only do that if you're Sakaki. Seeing as we don't live in Azumanga Daioh, I'm doubting any of you are Sakaki, so you can probably pet him without fear. Except we're not in Azumanga Daioh, so you probably can't find him. Probably. I'm confused now. Um.


Randy likes cooking; I like cooking. Not as much as Randy does, natch, but the quote's still great.

Aaaaand, ganked from [livejournal.com profile] instrumentality, a lyrics meme! The rules are short and sweet - 20 songs, the first lyrics only. Guess 'em. No Google!

01) You can be right and I'll be real, and it still won't be a pain that you will have to feel.
02) Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland, went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line.
03) Lung of love leaves me breathless. Tongue of fool lap me in enmity.
04) It's our time to shine through the down, glorified by what is ours.
05) I got mad at The Cheat for screwing up the jumble caper.
06) I wanna take you so far, but they don't wanna let us out, but they do, they do, they do.
07) She keeps Moet et Chandon in her pretty cabinet. Killer Queen - Queen
08) I got a number on me. I got a number. Won't make it through the high noon sun.
09) I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told. I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles.
10) Maybe we could put your tape back on, rewind until the moment we went wrong.
11) I'm just so tired. Won't you sing me to sleep and fly through my dreams, so I can hitch a ride with you tonight?
12) On the lam from the law, on the steps of the Capitol, you shot a plainclothes cop on the ten o'clock. The Bagman's Gambit - The Decemberists
13) Something's gotta change again, I'm losing, my inspiration's gone.
14) Baby, we can talk all night, but that ain't getting us nowhere. Two Out of Three Ain't Bad - Meat Loaf
15) I'm a stitch away from making it and a scar away from falling apart. The (After) Life of the Party - Fall Out Boy
16) I've been outside, invited in, but I couldn't abide, wouldn't miss it again.
17) Pardon me, want to live in a fantasy quietly, show you everything you'll ever need.
18) Gaze into her killing jar; I'd sometimes stare for hours. The Jetset Life is Gonna Kill You - My Chemical Romance
19) I can't remember when it was good; moments of happiness elude. Maybe I just misunderstood.
20) The sun came up with no conclusions, flowers sleeping in their beds.

15 is a Fall Out Boy song that I like but I can't remember the title either. I wonder if the band remembers it either, their song titles are so arbitrary.

...oh! Afterlife of a Party, or something like that? :3

[identity profile] instrumentality.livejournal.com 2011-08-26 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
i was gonna say, bands like fall out boy and panic should be disallowed from memes like this on the grounds of WHO THE FUCK REMEMBERS THE TITLES TO THEIR SONGS?! ;;

[identity profile] rinnia.livejournal.com 2011-08-26 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You got it! I'm impressed; I wouldn't have known the title. The song, sure, but definitely not the title.

it was my favourite song from that album, and i never had a clue what it was called. i'm just like, "you know, *sings a few lyrics*, that song!"

[identity profile] instrumentality.livejournal.com 2011-08-26 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... wait, is the decemberists song The Bagman's Gambit? Maybe?

[identity profile] rinnia.livejournal.com 2011-08-26 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That is it! And correct on all the other accounts as well, of course.

18 is the only one left not guessed that I know - My Chemical Romance, The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You.

Yep yep! Good song. :)
