Letter-meme via lienne.

Comment on this post and I will give you a letter.

Think of 5 fictional characters whose names start with that letter and post their names and your comments on those characters in your LJ.

My letter was X

1) BtVS's Alexander "Xander" Harris: I may have had a slight crush on him in Season 1. I like that he was pretty consistently Xanderish throughout, eventhough he got a bit too squishy in Season 7.
2) X-Men's Prof. Charles Xavier: I don't think I have a preference between the cartoon version and the movie version (although the cartoon version's shair was awesome). While I see his side of the Epic Argument he has going with Magneto, occasionally I side with Mags.
3) Discworld's Agnes X. Nit: She's just sorta awesome. Perdita's more awesome.
4) Star Wars' Exar Kun: He's kick-ass, even if I only know about him through Darth Maul fics.
5) BtVS's Xin Rong: Got snuffed by Spike, but put up a good fight and her death was a bit upsetting because it made her break the stone-cold slayer façade.

Characters 1-4 were sans google (and #3 and #4 totally counts, yo).

Icon Meme via fallen_iceangel:

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between 50 and 75 icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over 75 icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than 10, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, what significance does it have.

I have only 15 icons :(

1) - I love Bunny, and you can always use a *face!palm* icon.

2) - Raaaage icon, because rants are unavoidable. Also, the Pearls Before Swine crocodiles are amusing and adorable.

3) - Because it's true. (And I felt I needed a Heroes icon, what with the new season being back and all.)

Brain: Male or Female?

Your Brain is 47% Female, 53% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female You are both sensitive and savvy Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

What Gender Is Your Brain?

ETA: "This Is Me" Meme

you are mediumseagreen #3CB371

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days. Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it. Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.
