No internet bravado answers allowed:

A friend of the family invites you out to dinner.

You go to a sushi restaurant.

The waiters recognize the reservation, because they've scheduled the dinner weeks in advance. The friend of the family paid close to triple the standard rate to ensure you and they got the seat they wanted, special treatment for the whole night, and a flexible time-slot for that choice table.

You don't know what's planned, just that it's a special occasion. All you've seen is the details of the extent and expense of the reservation, not what is to be served.

They bring out a plate of fugu.

Regardless of whether 'you don't like fish', and focusing more on the measures someone is taking to make your night a special one, and the potentially lethal nature of the dish if the slightest mistake has been made...Do you eat?

The instructions for this meme are extremely simple.

1) Copy and paste the list below in plain text.
2) Bold each of the foods that you've had.
3) Make some plans to try some of the ones you haven't.
4) There are no tagging requirements for this. Anyone who's watching you can pop up their own lists if they feel like it without their names being called out.
5) Feel free to call out names anyway, just to see who'd got some developed tastes and who doesn't.

Rules:
Go to www.urbandictionary.com and type in your answers to the following questions.
Post a definition it gives you.
Tag 3 people.

I'm not tagging three people though. I'm just tagging any watchers that feel like doing it.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

1.) Your name?
2.) Your age?
3.) One of your friends?
4.) What should you be doing?
5.) Favorite color?
6.) Birthplace?
7.) Month of your birth?
8.) Last person you talked to?
9.) One of your nicknames?

>>>>>>>>>>>>

1.) Your name?

This is a difficult name to define because it defies many boundaries of human perception, let alone various languages. One of the closest translations that experts give is God or many other variations of that general idea.

2.) Your age?

25 - The age at which one can finally rent a car in the United States without being charged enormous amounts of money and without having to sign thousands of papers for that matter.


3.) One of your friends?

Amethystine - isn't defined yet

4.) What should you be doing?

Studying - An excuse you give your friends when you want to stay home alone and masturbate. Also known as 'reading' 'cleaning your room' or writing a term paper.

5.) Favorite color?

Black and gold - A drink consisting of 1oz Jagermeister and 1oz Goldshlager. (also known as a starry night) This shot is taken either in celebration of a win or preparation of a basketball game played by the Rams of Virginia Commonwealth University.

A small diner at the corner of Harrison St. and Grace St. has renamed the shot known as a Starry Night, a Black n Gold, is honor of the Virginia Commonwealth University Basketball teams and the many die hard fans who pass through their doors looking for a celebratory drink.

6.) Birthplace?

Tampa - The most badass town in the Nation. Girls are fine as shit, nice neighborhoods, one of the best nightlifes with channelside ybor and downtown. Beaches all around, sunny all the time- cant beat it. New York doesnt have shit on Tampa.

7.) Month of your birth?

May - Named after the title character of the eponymous film, a May is a woman who is initially somewhat attractive to men yet who frightens them away with a strange quietness that is interpreted as belying a deeply disturbed and dangerous nature.

8.) Last person you talked to?

Melissa - Melissa is a Greek name.
In Greek, it means "honey bee."
In Persian, it means "red rose."
The feminine version of "Melisseus", legendary "King of Crete."
In mythology, it is the name of a princess of Crete who was changed into a bee after she learned to collect honey.

9.) One of your nicknames?

Mew - Cat-Like and sweet Pink Pokemon.

Sound that cat Make.

Furry happiness Sound.

BangaaDragoon popped this little question up, and asked the watchers that answered it to pass it on. It's cute, short, and simple.

Which one do you want to happen?
1. Become your fursona IRL?
2. Stay human and have your fursona(s) be friends with you in IRL?
3. (The sane answer) None of the above and not have fursonas living IRL?

I'd certainly go with option 1, and I'd encourage people who feel like trying an anthro form for themselves to give it a whirl. So I'll say both option 1, and the latter half of option 2.

Please do feel free to pop up a journal of your own to keep it going . It's likely an old-hat vision, but there's nothing wrong with letting new watchers to your account know how you feel.

Got a second chapter with hir in the works!

I put in the submission description that I really wasn't sure if 'A Treasure Worth the While' would have any follow-up chapters. When a few people mentioned ideas for some my comment usually was 'If there's a second chapter it'd likely be well into the future, and Thaarin would be killed.'

I said that then and meant it then because aside from teasing the readers with more content about Zachary being stuck inside the diamond egg I couldn't really think of what more I either wanted to do with him or even could do with him. His situation was fairly tied up (har har). The only follow-up story element I could think of would be for Thaarin to get what shi wanted by leading an assault on the human lords of the world and winning handily. Maybe sometime later by shear plot-hole coincidence shi'd be overcome and killed. That way Thaarin would have gotten what shi wanted, and then shi'd be given what alot of the readers probably felt shi had coming.

I decided that was both boring and clumsy though. And my subconcious apparently agreed with me. A few nights ago I had a dream that tossed a new idea into my mind.

So Thaarin will be back for a second chapter hopefully in a week's time, maybe even over the weekend. What'll happen? It'll be a TF-story, for the most part. But I'd be remiss to abandon my theme of the story containing unexpected elements and challenging myself. I'm very happy that people enjoyed Zachary's transformation into a metal golem/talisman. Since metal was a TF medium that I hadn't seen used often I'm glad people said I did so well with it.

So far I've seen one other person utilize the 'Rooting' concept I got going with the first chapter (in a story on Yiffstar titled 'Service in Steel'). With this piece though I'm going to aim to please the male/gay audience a bit more than the first chapter did. I got compliments on the story from plenty of openly gay members, but they told me most of the hermaphrodite content they didn't care about or found detracting. So with a TF-theme I've not seen anyone use before I'll try to please that particular demographic.

Leasara (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/leasara/) offered up a short and sweet meme in her journal, and I took the bait for it just for kicks.

Simple version: 8 questions were offered. If you commented, she'd answer them regarding what she knew or thought about them pertaining to the commenter.

Here's the questions:

1- I'll answer with something random about you.
2- I'll dare you to try something
3- I'll say a color I associate with you.
4- I'll tell you something I like about you.
5- I'll tell you something I always remember about you / a first memory about you.
6- I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7- I'll ask you something I always wanted to ask you.
8- If I do this for you, you must put this in your journal.


And here's what she gave me when I popped up my interest.

1- I'll answer with something random about you.
Surprise! You're a pokemorph!
2- I'll dare you to try something
Your profile says you're a writer (under type of artist), and your gallery is full of nifty arts, so I dare you to post some of your writing!
3- I'll say a color I associate with you.
I'll go with Canary Yellow
4- I'll tell you something I like about you.
Your apparent ability to deflect bolts of energy.
5- I'll tell you something I always remember about you / a first memory about you.
I'd like to say I remember when you watched me, but my memory isn't that good, so remember that time you replied to my journal? That was a lot of fun.
6- I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
Actually, a gecko. That's what Mews always remind me of.
7- I'll ask you something I always wanted to ask you.
Which of my stories is your favorite?
8- If I do this for you, you must put this in your journal.
I mean, c'mon. Fair is fair, after all.

Fair is indeed fair. If anyone who's watching me does reply I'll give it a go myself.

It's a watershed moment for me, I actually made a youtube video that I think is a cut-above most of the other wastes of time that get submitted there.

Admittedly there are already a ton of videos covering the subject, but the majority of them are either incomplete, meant to show people being stupid, or otherwise half-assed and with little explanation.

The subject: Taking something sharp and heavy, and knocking the top off a bottle of champagne, sparkling wine, or old-style bottled beer. It's called 'sabrage' (sabreing).

A buddy of mine on AIM asked for a little info about how to do it, and rather than give him an in-thorough explanation that could possibly end up getting him injured by mistake I went ahead and wrote up a full tutorial in Power Point, and then did a demonstration that I popped up on youtube for others.

Pop me a comment or a note, and I'll email you the Power Point if you like. The video can be found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PThoPdxUIkA

5-star ratings, favs, and pleasant comments are appreciated :) And give it a try yourself. It's a cool party trick if you have the preparation done in advance.

Note: Meme started by him, not me. So I'm just copying and pasting :P But this should prove interesting.

>>>>>>>>>

There is at least one person on your watch list that wants to fuck the hell out of you.

So lets play the Fuck or Pass game.

The rules are simple.

If you want to fuck the person who posts this, send him or her a reply saying only "Id Fuck You." But you have to post this in your journal in exchange.
same with the pass just say pass

And marvel at the replies.

Yea I know a meme journal game... eh I got in to this as I was only curious.
