If you read this, even if we don't speak often, please leave a comment to this post with a memory you have of you and me. It can be anything you want - good or bad. Once you've left a comment, post this little paragraph on your journal and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you. Any 'verse, point in canon or random encounter between you and me is welcome.

People successfully guessed 8 out of the 10 OTP's I described in the meme post, but I figured I'd list the two missed answers here for those wondering. I decided to end it now mainly because I knew there was no way anyone currently on my f-list would recognize those last two fandoms.

7. Nextdoor neighbors who save the world via rock & roll and the internet - Lan/Mayl, Mega Man Battle Network. The "rock & roll" bit was a subtle hint that any true Mega Man fan would get instantly, but that still made for a vague description. j2kfan2003 took the guess and came up with Sam/Syd from Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad, which... actually kind of works. But wasn't what I intended. XD

9. "Where were you when the brains were handed out?" - Sonic/Sally, the SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon. j2kfan2003 guessed Conner/Kira from PRDT here, and I had to lol at how well that actually fit, and we all know Kira got that general gist across two dozen times across the season, but that's not something she ever actually said, at least not word-for-word.

These two and Otoya/Maya from Kamen Rider Kiva were the three I mentioned that were canon (Sonic and Sally kissed in the finale; Lan and Mayl got married and had a son in the sixth game's epilogue). As mentioned, this surprised me, because I previously thought I preferred canon pairings for the most part. I guess my preferences have changed over the last year or two.

First set of answers, with post formatting shamelessly stolen from niav. :P

( Top Five Blue Sentai Rangers )

( Top Five Blue Power Rangers )

( Top Five Antihero Kamen Riders )

Oh, and now I finally understand why Masahiko was wearing eyeliner in the Amazon arc of Kamen Rider Decade; it's a ref to the original Kamen Rider Amazon, where humans brainwashed by the Geddon were inexplicably wearing makeup afterwards. Of course, that has its own inherent problems. :( No idea on the baseball theme though; Igadevil assumes it has something to do with Masahiko's Dad.

Speaking of Decade and Igadevil, he ripped and uploaded Gackt's "The Next Decade" single and the All Riders vs. Daishocker OST (the latter's tracknames have spoilers for the movie). Get 'em here.

Shinkenger's 2nd album, meanwhile, is available here and includes full versions of Shinkenoh, Daikaioh, and Shinkengold's themes. Thankfully this album is translated (I still can't find translations of the first album's tracknames), but unfortunately, the ID3 tags include both romanicized and translated English, meaning they're friggin HUGE. If you plan on using any sort of blog/mood/Twitter/Facebook/IRC banner display for what song you're playing, you'd probably better slim those tags down first.

In other news, guess what got picked up by Canada’s Alliance Releasing for international release?

EDIT: lol. "(DragonRanger) what's he doing making a documentary about John Hughes when he never even finished the one about PR fans"

At first I wasn't gonna do either of these, but then I went "Eh, what the hey." Snagged both from an inordinate number of people on my f-list who I won't bother naming cause I forgot who all did it.

Meme A: Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.

Meme B: 1. Pick up to 10 OTPs.
2. Describe them in less than (mostly) 15 words.
3. Have your flist guess the OTP.

This one was actually difficult to do as far as modern toku goes, because I don't really have any personal OTP's within the last two years. It's funny though; I thought I had a personal preference towards canonical pairings, but only three of the ten below are canon.

1. Violins, vampires, and bad 80's fashion - Otoya/Maya, Kamen Rider Kiva - guessed by shigeki_jkp
2. Dangerous hugs + pizza-loving brainiac alien - Katie/Trip, Power Rangers Time Force - guessed by y2jdingo
3. Sex With All Teammates (OT5) - Jack/Sky/Bridge/Z/Syd, Power Rangers S.P.D. - guessed by y2jdingo
4. A girl apprentice and her trumpeter sensei - Akira/Ibuki, Kamen Rider Hibiki - guessed by scifisentai
5. Manchester U + pop rock - Conner/Kira, Power Rangers Dino Thunder - guessed by jtrevizo_1013
6. "Even if you're a vampire, I'll never give up on you." - Chip/Vida, Power Rangers Mystic Force - guessed by y2jdingo and shurimon
7. Nextdoor neighbors who save the world via rock & roll and the internet
8. A wolf monster and a horse monster - Takumi/Kiba, Kamen Rider 555 - guessed by thegirlwriter
9. "Where were you when the brains were handed out?"
10. Two air pirates who prefer silver to gold (OT3) - Vyse/Aika/Fina, Skies of Arcadia - guessed by angel_negra

Leave me a comment and I will reply with why I like you. If I don't know you, I'll either make something up or tell you why I like your LiveJournal. You must pay for the privilege by posting a message like this one on your LiveJournal.

I'm totally digging that "make something up" suggestion. I may even do that if I know you. XD

I'VE BEEN MEMED (tagged by angel_negra)

01. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
02. Do this everyday for eight days without fail.
03. Tag eight of your friends to do the same.

I hate tagging (primarily because I'm too lazy to check and see who on my f-list/circle has already been tagged). If you want to do this, go for it.

( Day one )

( Day two )

( Day three )

( Day four )

( Day five )

( Day six )

( Day seven )

( Day eight )

AND THUS ENDS THE EIGHT DAYS MEME

niav popped up with this one, and I found it interesting enough to try. I just have to hope it's not going to cause me to lose friends. XD

(Let's also hope I actually reply to everyone this time; that last meme killed me)

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

Been tagged for a meme. By three different people; holy crap! (csichick_2, purplestripe66, and wild_force71)

Firstly: People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.

Secondly: Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.

I'll tag amazonstorm, arytra, ate, chounette, cmar_wingnut, dj_rocca, shoujokakumei, and tptigger. I believe those are people who haven't already been tagged by others on my f-list.

Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are flukes; I just passed through them during a roadtrip to Disneyland when I was four years old, without actually stopping to visit the local areas. Texas is an exception because I was actually born there. It's a similar story for Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, as I only passed through them on a trip to New York four years ago. Same goes for South Carolina and Georgia three years ago when I went to visit Florida.

The world map is actually incomplete, as I went on three cruise ships with the family in the mid-90's (back when we actually had money), and I forget the ports of call for all but the first. I'll have to ask Dad if he remembers. Probably wouldn't do much good to add them though, since the map's so friggin' small you can't see any of the tiny Caribbean islands I actually went to. -_-

EDIT: The first ship went to Puerto Rico (though I've been there several times besides that as my Dad lived there for a while), Martinique, Barbados, Saint Martin/Sint Maarten, and the US Virgin Islands. Second ship was Mexico (Cancún specifically), Cayman Islands, and Jamaica. The third was just the Bahamas. For some odd reason, Saint Martin isn't an option on this map.

Following the lead of shurimon, kikos_ai, and amazonstorm:

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!
