Ok, another meme tonight, this time from

ana_grrl (can you tell I should be studying? Updating *3* times in *1* day!)

Anyways, she chose 3 interests and icons and asked me to explain them so here goes.
Interests:
China
Well as many of you know, I lived there for almost a year. But even before that I was interested, I remember in grade 10 or something we had to write a list of places we'd like to see, and someone asked me why I'd want to go to China, and I was like, Dude! They have a massive *wall*.

Genetics
Well, in high school, I loved how it was explained (in really simplistic terms); it made you realize the power resting in your blood. I loved it so much, I tried to major in it (totally didn't work out, but I actually associate myself more closely with being a geneticist/scientist than I do with being a programmer (which is my current career goal).

Melanie Marcus
For those non-QaF fans on my list, Melanie was a lesbian on Queer as Folk. I mostly included her name in my interests because I put all the main casts names there, but beyond that I loved her a lot (I actually have a bit of a crush on her :). She's probably the second or third most abused character in QaF fics or at least B/J fics, with Mikey being the first, and Ethan possibly being the second). She was just a spunky character, who maybe spoke without thinking sometimes, but was all in all a great character (also, really *really* hot). :D

Geek porn, hmmm. Well, I will say it's one of the first SGA icons I ever got, and I probably picked it, because at the time I was a huge Carson/Rodney shipper, and it had both of them in it. I also love it, because really? I'm in the SGA fandom for the geeks, the military types are nice, but they aren't usually the ones I fall for.

Ah, Kinky. I love this icon, and hardly have a chance to use it. My friend Natalie made this during exams in second year. She could never remember the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats, so she scanned the unsaturated picture from the text book and added the Kinky! to remind her (because that's how they always talk about it in class, "unsaturated is kinky!") I then made it into an icon because science!kink is all that is fun. :D

This icon kind of has the same story as the geek porn. Also because I think sometimes Sheppard thinks of some missions that way. He's a military guy, and while he's geeky, I'm sure it's a bit weird to suddenly have to protect all the brains.

So, to continue the tradition, if you'd like me to choose some interests/icons for you, comment.

Also, this reminds me of a meme I did at least 2 years ago and enjoyed, so shall do again.

Comment here (make sure you specify which meme, or both if you'd like), and I'll choose one (or more) of your interests and draw you a picture about them.

Disclaimer: I suck so bad at drawing that they shall be no where near works of art, but instead things that are fun to point and laugh at.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Dude, hit me with some interests/icons. And I would love a drawing, yay!

Cool,
Interests: 4815162342 aka evil numbers, jj's fucked up plots, and michael shanks' bitchiness (it was really hard to just choose 3!)

Icons:

The pic will come soon, I have to leave for an exam now :(

Done and done. I put them in my latest lj post.

And take your time with the pic. Good luck on the exam!

So, done in MS Paint, using all of my amazing artistic skillz:

This pic incorporates your interests, john/atlantis = otp, starting sentences with also, and using 'like whoa' constantly.

Also, as sad as this is, I'm oddly proud of how Atlantis turned out. :P

OMG AWESOME!!

ALSO, yes, the city of Atlantis looks amazing. Yay for Paint Airbrush.

Yay! I'm glad, it takes a special kind of lack of skills to make a picture like that. :D

I wish John didn't suck so much though, I had to erase part of him, because originally he had a hump on his back, and boobs :S

because originally he had a hump on his back, and boobs :S
Hey, it's Pegasus! Boobs happen. :D:D

That made me laugh, really *hard* :D

and I was like, Dude! They have a massive *wall*.

Hee!

I also love the story of the kinky icon! Also, yeah, sometimes I bet Sheppard thinks of it as geeksitting!

The wall *was* pretty awesome, I was going to post some pictures, but they're all on my dead HD that I haven't revived yet :(

And ya gotta love the science jokes.

Love the wall comment. Good reason to go to China.

Pick some interests and some icons (for both). This could be amusing.

OK, interests: Canada, naio ssaion, witchcraft

icons:

And now for your picture:

I tried to incorporate a couple different images, obviously the main theme is classical witchcraft, with the witch throwing, Canada, X-files fanfic, and a Dead Zone (not from the show, but still) into her potion :P

Why yes, I *am* an amazing artist :P

The book *did* say X-files fanfic, but it got really blurred in the saving :S

Either way, I love the picture. It made me giggle...profusely.

I'm actually pretty proud of that pic, it's pretty artsy for me :P

Also, I've finally gotten around to working on my Something There vid, and I added that manip I was talking to you about at the end :P

So I'm feeling completely retarded. I was trying to do the meme and I cannot figure out how to get the userpics in the entry. How did you do that?

You have to use the tag <*img src="link to pic"*> (except without the *s).

To get the link for your user pic, right click on it, and choose "Copy image location" or something like that. Or you can go to the properties sheet, it's there too.

And don't worry, you aren't the first person to ask that about this meme. :P
