(no subject)

Let's see -- back hurts like hell and I left my advil at home. Finished the project my bosses had me working on last time I worked the library, and I haven't seen them since then, so I have nothing new to work on. Bored out of my mind, as there is only so much email and LJ I can read. I am hungry, but I have no money until I get paid on Tuesday. I'm currently trying to figure out if I can drive home, fix food, eat it, and drive back in the amount of time I have allocated as a dinner break. I think I've come to the conclusion that no one will notice if I get back a little late. Didn't get nearly as much cleaning as I would have liked to get done this week, but at least I did make some progress. And I really don't want to go to work tomorrow. This concludes the whinefest.

Took me forever to come up with some of these, and I'm sure as soon as I post it I'll think of a bunch of other important ones that I forgot, but here goes. It's the "what fictional characters would you have a one night stand/tortured affair/life partnership with" meme:

One night stands:

10) Thursday Next -- Jasper Fforde The Eyre Affair and others
9) Annwn -- the Mabinogion
8) Melinda Wolfe -- Pamela Dean Tam Lin
7) Sherlock Holmes -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
6) Katchoo -- Terry Moore Strangers in Paradise
5) Gojyo -- "Gensoumaden Saiyuki" (anime)
4) Death -- as portrayed by Terry Pratchett
3) Death -- as portrayed by Neil Gaiman
2) Lucien LaCroix -- "Forever Knight" (tv show)
1) *Captain* Jack Sparrow -- "Pirates of the Caribbean" (movie)

I find it interesting that my life partners and one night stands were both pretty equally split male/female, but my tortured affairs were all male but one.
