melilot brandybuck: being nerdy never looked so good

that's the commercial i just made up for myself. i'll have to work on finding someone to actually make it. but anyway.
my friend (who is a couple years older than i am, which i'm only mentioning lest you think she's younger when you get to the end of this) sent me a link on fb to a quiz determining what literary city you should live in (cuz oh my goodness there has been a quiz explosion on fb in the last two weeks). i got king's landing from 'game of thrones,' which of course i've never read. so this was my response to her:
"apparently King's Landing from 'Game of Thrones,' but since I haven't read it, I'm going to protest and choose my own. I think I'll go with Bucklebury, Buckland. Bucklanders have a bit more spunk than your ordinary Shire hobbits, and while the Old Forest may be a bit creepy, I like trees, which seem to be more prevalent to the east of Hobbiton.
Because yes, I am that nerdy."

her response was:
"Melilot, if you are "that nerdy," I want to be just like you when I grow up. You are full of awesome ideas!!!"
i rock. :)

That IS pretty nerdy. :) Are you gonna check out Game of Thrones now? (Somehow I doubt it.;)

Seriously, what's with the explosion of quizzes on there lately? Not sure if it was the same one, but on one of them I got that I should live in Hogsmeade. That seemed appropriate.

I also got Darth Vader, Harry, Effie from the Hunger Games, Winston from New Girl, and Penny on Big Bang Theory. I should apparently live in the 80s. But I disagree with that one -- the questions seemed to just determine when your childhood was, not which era you should actually live in. I'm either 22, 19 or 25 years old "mentally." Oh, and my fortune cookie fortune? Fame. That's interesting.

lol chelleybutton i should have known you'd have taken all those quizzes! i haven't seen you sharing any but i've seen all those sorts of quizzes shared by others. it's funny you're both darth vader AND harry, legendary antagonist and protagonist! but they're both strong, brave characters… and yet you're both Winston and Penny, characters who are kind of "different" from the rest of the cast… :-D hilarious

i don't get the "fame" fortune cookie fortune

Yeah, the fortune cookie fortune said, based on what I chose to eat for my chinese food meal, that fame is in my future. (*eye roll*) And I think when you write it all out like that, it fits me perfectly. I'm full of contradictions. :/ And extremes, sigh. I also got Snow White from Once Upon a Time and Jasmine for Disney princesses. Not sure how I forgot to put those in my list. :) Oh, and I was sure I'd get Chandler on the Friends quiz, but I got Mike (Paul Rudd's character). That quiz seemed super random to me. Thoughts on any of those? Haha.

Snow White and Jasmine are considered "innocent" but feisty, confident characters, I think. Isn't that you? :-D

And now for something completely me… I don't remember a Mike character on "Friends" or who Paul Rudd is.

Also true to me, I googled it. :-)

Turns out, I never saw any episode of Phoebe dating Mike. I was never an avid "Friends" watcher. Anyway, I recognise Paul Rudd as that guy who's in a lot of chick flicks like "13 going on 30" oh no wait i just goggled THAT and that was Mark Ruffalo :-(

Hmph. I'm going to bed.

I heard Game of Thrones is pretty disgusting in morality. I loved your response :-D
