I have a lot of fandom-type people on my friends list. Not as many as political-type people, though, and there's a significant overlap between the two groups. So here's a meme that's been going around on the fandom end of things, and I'm doing you all a disservice by bringing it into the political realm.
Translation: It's the Pairing List Meme, which essentially works if you have a lot of fandom-based icons and write or read strange fanfic pairings, like Sirius Black/George Bush. Given the subject matter of most of my icons, it works surprisingly well. So:
Make a list of all the characters in your icons. (Although you may have more than one icon of a single character, they only go on the list once.) Alphabetize it. Take the first two people on the list; that's your first pairing. Second two people; second pairing. Etc.*
( Cut for those of you who don't want to hurt your brains. )
E-cookies to anyone who so much as writes a paragraph of any of these.
*Process note: Alphabetized by first name where applicable. Certain characters, like the guy from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Judea, omitted because they don't have names. Marinetti the Cat is in there but I'm not, because it paired me with Sergei Nechaev and I so don't want to go there. Also, I needed an even number.
