8. Peacock – Your Princess Enjoys This!

9. Monty Python – Every Sperm is Sacred

10. Whitetail – Pinkie Pie Fighting is Magic Stage

1. Bring on the Dancing Horses (Extended Mix) – Echo and the Bunnymen

I have no idea what this means for the story other than that the opening credits are probably going to be very arty and involve zombie horses somehow.

2. I Wanna Hold Your Hand – The Beatles

I figure this means the scene involves the hero ripping a zombie’s hand off. This suggests it’s your more campy/humorous sort of zombie film. 

3. The Middle – Jimmy Eat World

Continuing with the camp theme.. I really want this to be the song the heroine sings to her girlfriend while they’re running from zombies, as a sort of encouragement/we can get through this thing. (Yes, I have randomly decided this is a musical. With lesbians. Shut up.)

4. Never Gonna Happen – Lily Allen

The song the girlfriend sings to the heroine after she gets bitten to convince the heroine to shoot her. It’s about not really loving the person you just fucked; the girlfriend wants to make the heroine hate her so that the heroine doesn’t feel sad. 

5. Whatever Happened to Saturday Night by The Rocky Horror Picture Show (25th Anniversary Cast)

In which the survivors throw a WILD PARTY to celebrate still being alive despite the apocalypse… and outside the zombies gather.

6. Dumb, by Nirvana

Okay look at the lyrics for this song it actually works really well as a love song between the heroine and her NEW GIRLFRIEND, where the heroine is trying to reject the new girlfriend and the new girlfriend is Not Taking It. “I’m not like them” “but I can pretend” “The sun is gone” “but I have a light” “the day is done” “But I’m having fun” “I think I’m dumb” “Maybe just happy” “I think I’m happy”

and then they kiss

7. Should I Stay or Should I Go, the Clash

… Okay this is a brilliant final stand song JUST SAYING

8. A Letter to Elise, the Cure

We’ve survived it all and it’s time for ROMANTIC ANGST about how both the heroine and New Girlfriend are way too broken to sustain a relationship. New girlfriend = Elise, of course. 

9. Don’t You (Forget About Me), Simple Minds

…again, this is really obviously applicable to discovering a bite mark. “Just… please don’t forget about me once I die.”

10. Fur Elise, Trans Siberian Orchestra

…I swear they did that on purpose. 

1: Fall from Grace – Stevie Nicks

Interesting.

2: Inside Out – Phil Collins

…interesting.

3: Just Another Story – Phil Collins

No.

4: Tainted Love – Soft Cell

Yes. (First I ran to you/Now I run from you…)

5: Vienna – Billy Joel

“Vienna” here means (I think) “place you can go when you are an Independent Adult who has an Independent Adult Life”. Seeing as how my parents are probably dead by this point…

6: Ice Dragons – Noe Venable

…okay?

7: Driving Me Crazy – Phil Collins

The song that plays over my final stand is Phil Collins doing a stalker song? Who wrote this soundtrack? (Oh, right, random chance.)

8: Sometimes a Fantasy – Billy Joel

The title would suggest a dying delirium or that the former minds of zombies are trapped within dream-worlds while their bodies go about their brain-eating business. The lyrics…just don’t fit.

9: Bad Loser – Fleetwood Mac

From the zombies’ point of view?

10: Wake Up Call – Phil Collins

Also from the zombies’ point of view (sort of like this), and a nicely twisted interpretation that I will probably think of whenever I hear the song from now on.

(Phil Collins’s solo work only comprises about 11% of my shuffle playlist. One of them should be Genesis instead, and there should have been more from the bunch of artists for whom I don’t have most of the discography, not just “Tainted Love” and “Ice Dragons”.)

What American accent do you have?

What American accent do you have?

My Result: The Inland North(89%)

You may think you speak “Standard English straight out of the dictionary” but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like “Are you from Wisconsin?” or “Are you from Chicago?” Chances are you call carbonated drinks “pop.”

 

carryonmywaywardlullaby:

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: The Midland
 
83%

“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

The Northeast

 
Apparently, this is the accent you get when you spend a little less than half your life in NY and a little less than half your life in Minnesota and the rest in the south. 

 

ziggystardyke:

Bizarrely, if you’re English and you speak with a perfect southern, Queen’s English accent, this quiz says that you sound like you’re from the Northeast:

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

Right. Sure. 

 

champagneflavoredstars:

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: The Midland
 
85%

“You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

 

karlimeaghan:

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: North Central
 
86%

“North Central” is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw “Fargo” you probably didn’t think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

(makes sense, since I am Canadian, lol)

 

ravenskyewalker:

Strange, I got Inland North, despite being a lifelong West inhabitant (mid-northern California, Bay Area). I’ve never been asked if I’m from Wisconsin or Chicago, but have been asked if I’m English (I picked up a trace of it from Mom, who picked it up from her grandfather) or Irish (simply due to looks on that one; I don’t sound it at all).

 

justice-turtle:

I got Inland North too, but my accent’s actually Standard American – what this quiz calls “Midland”. Mainly it means that people don’t ask me if I’m from a particular area but they do ask me where I’m from a lot, because I never sound like I’m “from around here”.

This is what happens when you have one parent who spent their childhood in the Deep South and the Southwest, one from the Pacific Northwest who spent their young adulthood in Boston, and they met and got married in California and then moved to Indiana to have kids. I think the only major region NOT represented is Tornado Alley.

88% Boston. “You definitely have a Boston accent, even if you think you don’t.”

While my dad is from Massachusetts, all that means is that I’ve had enough exposure to Bostonians from family-reunion-type things to know they sound foreign.

(Next one’s 75% Midland, though.)

(I thought hah-rrible vs. hoh-rrible was an American vs. Canadian thing. When people ask me if I’m an immigrant, I respond “it was a long prah-cess getting here”, which indicates both “yes” and “from America” without explicitly saying either. (Though I admit not everyone picks up on the second part.))

Who wants to take part in a little experiment for me?

I want to see how people measure up to the Kinsey scale, it’s a rating for sexuality.

http://vistriai.com/kinseyscaletest/

Fill in these (okay maybe somewhat weird) questions and add your result? 

 

doktorivan2:

X nonsexual *<*

 

rosekanaya:

X also

what a surprise

 

chrc:

2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual.

No surprise here.

 

wigmund:

0 Exclusively Heterosexual

 

hypotheticalwoman:

I got an F. Possibly because I am asexual but haven’t always been, and I still find people aesthetically hot.

 

kiwitank:

5Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual.

 

chandeluresinsicily:

Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual.

 

p much

 

luce-felice:

X – Nonsexual

 

thewatersglow:

5.

 

swedenmark:

X-Nonsexual

 

felkasmiejesiezajerkoniakiem:

f

i’m gonna CRY

 

losttimessix:

X-Nonsexual

 

pure—insanity:

3: Equally heterosexual and homosexual.

 

thedoeeyedmonster:

X – Nonsexual

 

shorthairednymph:

F – The test failed to match you to a Kinsey Type profile. Either you answered some questions wrong, or you are a very unusual person.

 

audio-distortion:

3 Equally heterosexual and homosexual.

 

johanirae:

2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual. Hmmmm.

 

justice-turtle:

F.

I’d be more surprised if the test had managed to categorize me, given that I can’t even categorize me. *g* Transgender man bordering on genderfluid, mostly asexual (demisexual or gray-ace), romantically/sometimes-sexually into men to the point that when I need a single word I identify as gay, but enough into women romantically that I can’t swear that’ll never overlap with the demisexuality, even though my experiences with sexual attraction have always been with men.

X.

(I’m so ace, I bought an asexuality ring even though I didn’t know about them at the time and can never be bothered to wear jewellery that doesn’t have some purpose or meaning. (Okay, so that was probably bad impulse control in the face of cheap shinies rather than some subconscious psychic link.))

It didn’t complain of contradiction when I answered “true” to both “I can’t decide which I find more attractive” and “I find women more attractive than men”. (I can’t even decide whether I can’t decide.) Why those are even both there, I don’t know.

Why is it relevant whether I’m submissive? I was tempted for a moment to go through all the permutations to see if there’s any combination where the answer changes depending on submissiveness, but then I realised there’s 2^13 combinations (if I figured right) and that’s way too much work for a whim. (It did not change with the combination I had.)

Bionic Physiology and Micro-Oxygen Manipulation.

I judge the “micro” part on scientific grounds, but manipulating atoms of oxygen is POSSIBLY THE COOLEST POWER EVER. Certainly the most versatile, up there with shapeshifting (I am incorrigibily fond of shapeshifting), and definitely so much more useful than ferromagnetic metals. MAKE WAY MAGNETO, I’M COMIN’ THROUGH.

(Although the bionic physiology could be a problem if I was straight-up fighting Magneto. Still and all, I’d rather like to be a cyborg, especially if whoever did it could fix some of my health issues and make me look more masculine. :D)

Inhuman Nature (I laughed aloud when I saw this; it’s just so perfect) and Enhanced Chakram Skill (…okay, sure).

brin-bellway

I don’t know why some of the people above are wondering about people not taking typing classes. I never took typing classes. Why would I need to? Touch-typing is just a thing that happens sometime during the 10+ years of ‘puting. I put no actual effort towards learning it.

I would pickpocket a bunch of people, cook, complain about being a Grey Warden, count how much money I have, cook some more, take a nap and have some nightmares, run screaming from a mirror or two…

and frolick in the woods

that is an elfy thing to do, right?  MERRILL SAID SO

…apparently I just spontaneously turned into Thor.

Well then.

I would probably spend my entire day being bros with the Avengers and drinking coffee and eating all the food and flying around and making it rain.

Yep.

Pretty much.

There would probably be some seduction of various people involved in there too.

Photosynthesising somewhere in Russia.

(It does raise a lot of issues, though. Can one really be said to have “woken up” if one has no brain to wake up with? Do I magically retain my mind despite having nowhere to keep it? If so, is this going to be an and-I-must-scream thing, or more of a restful break from life as a biped? This makes a big difference in my reaction, you know.)

(I have never been to Russia. I did not take the picture myself; someone kindly donated it to Wikimedia. For some reason I can’t find the original copy on there.)

“It was all our own fault,” Marilla said resignedly.

“Mario stopped and looked in the shop window.”

“Nevertheless, young Woolsthorpe persevered in his studies of natural philosophy in the way a gentleman should, by digging into any suspicious-looking burial mounds he could find in the neighbourhood, filling up his lizard press with as many rare species as he could collect, and drying samples of any flowers he could find before they became extinct.”

–Snuff, by Terry Pratchett

…you know, if you look at it a certain way that’s actually pretty accurate.

“Would you rather X boy or Y boy?”

“What? Oh, don’t mind me, I’m just here studying the mating habits of Homo sapiens. Seeing as how sapience complicates everything it touches, humans’ sex lives are even more interesting than those of ducks. Speaking of ducks, did you know duck penises…”

(I haven’t actually had this exchange, but I could. The beginning question is one I have heard, just not directed at me. Turns out in that group it was strictly volunteers taking part in the highly-euphemistic sex discussions.)

(I did actually read about duck genitalia. You can read it if you want. Beware of animal rape. The TMI should be obvious.)
