NO, MEME, NO!

[thez]

YES. I could not resist.

Writing a paper, doin' a meme.

Comment and I shall:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Associate you with a character/pairing.
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
8. In return, you must post this in your LJ


The world would be a better place if I had the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' new EP, "IS IS". God I love repetition (when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are doing it).

OK. Can't resist. ^_^

1. I think you friended me first, because at the time I didn't know you very well and would have been intimidated by your distant awesomeness. Clearly I friended you back because I wanted to rub up against that awesomeness.

2. THE SAINTED TURTLES OF PORTLAND!!!

3. It's kind of hard to put into words. It like a joie de vivre. Even though you have so many responsibilities and even burdens on your back, it's like there's something tapping at the inside of your skull ready to BREAK OUT AND ROCK ON.

Plus you raise children that do \m/ from a very early age.

4. Two words: Flash doujinshi.

5. Aside from the obvious (Ebba), I associate you with TSURIAN/NEPHRITE. BECAUSE YOU MADE THAT COMMENT TO MEEJ, AND MEEJ TOLD ME AND I DIED.

6. Which do you prefer doing: drawing or photography?

7. It's very close, because that Alton Brown one is teh sex, but my ultimate favorite is THE ONE YOU ARE USING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT IS CUTER THAN 90 KITTENS.

[chaosblue.livejournal.com]

Oooh, photography, but not by much. Also, <3!

[foofasaurus.livejournal.com]

NOW IS THE TIME ON SPROCKETS WHEN YOU RETURN THE FAVOR. Huzzah.

[thez.livejournal.com]

DO YOU WANT TO TOUCH MY MONKEY??

1. Obviously it was because I had chatted with you. Before we spoke in chat I would have thought, "Yeah, what, who?" because you had a multiple name thing going on and it confused me. XD Then we chatted and I learned that you were a paragon of cuteness. Then I REALLY got to know you and learned that you are a paragon of cuteness with special evil sauce.

2. Heroes, obviously. Also, archery, because I saw a picture of you with a bow and arrow once! I think! Or I imagined I did, but it doesn't matter because the mental connection is there now. Also: good coffee. ALSO: whenever I'm walking around in the 115 degree heat I think about how much you would hate it.

3. I like that we can just talk and talk and not get bored, I like that you're opinionated and spitfire-y (I can't believe I just used that word), I like that we get crazy excited over the same dorky things, and I like that you wave to people when you're driving. To name a few. <3

4. COMPUTER CIDER that pops out of your computer when you post on time!

5. Games: HanakoxMisaoxBinshou OT3 XD Fandom: ANY PAIRING EVER TO INVOVE NOAH (BUT NOT CLAIRE), above all our OT3 OF CRACK.

6. Have you ever actually practiced archery or was that just a fever dream?

7.

[foofasaurus.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, it wasn't a fever dream. (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a327/hearsawho/arrowskillyou.jpg)

HanakoxMisaoxBinshou OT3

Is it wrong of me that I went, "Who wears the pants in that relationship?"

6. Archery is, in fact, one of my hobbies. XD Target-shooting only, though, as opposed to hunting.

[thez.livejournal.com]

HA HA HA, THAT IS THE PICTURE YAY! That is so cool. ♥

Also, no, it's not wrong. I figure it's either Hanako or Misao at least. XD

[peppermintberry.livejournal.com]

Why hello there meme goodness!

[thez.livejournal.com]

1. Because you are The Ru and I have known you forever and a day, and I wanted to know a little bit more!

2. Botany, and the movie "Twister". No, seriously. XD Mostly because of Aria.

3. You are perpetually nice and kind, and like me drama just slides off you like teflon, which makes me feel like you are a comrade in non-arms. You have really great enthusiasm for just about everything, and also you are a fellow science geek. <3

4. KEY LIME PIE. Something about key lime pie. Look, most of our old old OLD chat encounters were so long ago that it's all faded together into a vague soup of "RU", so you get key lime pie! Damnit, now I want some key lime pie. I ALSO REMEMBER YOUR OLD WEBSITE WITH THE STARRY BACKGROUND IF THAT COUNTS.

5. RuchielxZaafiel forbidden OTP XD

6. Have you lived in NC your entire life, and do you ever think you'll move?

7. even though I've never seen the movie. It's animated and pretty, ok?

[peppermintberry.livejournal.com]

Mmm, key lime pie. I need to resurrect my plans to make a key lime-chocolate confection.

OMG THAT WEBSITE. I had totally forgotten about that. Possibly because I've tried to block my old HTML adventures out of my mind. XD I am once again reminded that I need to really look into learning serious HTML at some point so I can do some spiffy things with it.

And to answer your question, actually, I was born in NY, and lived there until I was about 4 or so. Then my family and I moved down to NC, and except for a change of cities, I've lived here ever since. To be honest, I'm not really sure I'll ever move. I'm one of those types that once I settle into a routine or a place or something, I'm all "Okay, I'm settled now, and things are working, so there's no reason for me to go changing it all up. It is FINE. Do not mess with a good thing!". I guess I'm something of homebody, in that respect. I feel that everything I need is right here.

Except for a Friendly's. I'd love to have a Friendly's in the vicinity. And a LUSH store. But other than that, I'm good right where I am. ^_^;

[thez.livejournal.com]

...

I NEED a key lime/chocolate confection. NEED.

[shortcakegreen.livejournal.com]

Hit me!

[thez.livejournal.com]

1. Because I met you at Otakon and discovered that you are, in fact, a total doll! Since I can't bask in your presence every day, LJ will have to do (BUT OTAKON APPROACHES, EEEE!)

2. Well, Otakon. XD The Red Elvises. Ghostbusters. SOFT SERVE DILDOS.

3. I love talking to you both online and off. You seem very comfortable in your own skin. You are small and cute, but deceptively so, so when you curse it's even cuter. Or scary. Depending.

4. Well, THE SOFT SERVE DILDO. Also spelunking. This sounds dirty. Plus wandering all over your town and the Mexican restaurant that sucked and the Vietnamese restaurant that was awesome (my first time at a Vietnamese restaurant, by the by!), and watching Ghostbusters movies and cartoons until I flat out Ghostbuster-ed you out, and wandering through historic (your town here) and OMFG THERE WAS A RIVER, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THOSE HERE. That whole trip was a blast. I will not even start on the online memories.

5. DEVONA. DEVONA DEVONA DEVONA.

6. What's so great about those Mary Russell books? I have a hard time believing they don't suck balls, but you generally have pretty good taste. I'm so confused, PLZ EXPLAIN.

7. heh heh heh

<3 <3 <3!

[thez.livejournal.com]

1. You know, I think I knew you more from the forums and chat than from RPGs at the time. At any rate, I said "THAT THERE'S A FEMME FATALE, I WANT HER ON MY FLIST" and then BAM. Flist'd. HAHA naughty.

2. Tori Amos, Jane Austen, and all things related to Classical studies!

3. YOU ARE SMRT and funny and a constant joy, and I think you would be a delight on a night on the town and I am secretly biding my time until I can abduct you and take you away to have martinis at the Icon (a swank little bar in PHX).

4. Most amusing: you telling me that your sister didn't know who Jane Austen was and that you kicked her ass, therefore educating her through osmosis with your foot.

5. See Alysa's re: Games. XD

6. When and how did you become obsessed with Ewan?

7. I've never seen that episode and don't know the context for that scene, so it appears particularly hilarious to me. DID HOUSE HURT HIS HAND SMACKING BITCHES??

I could have sworn you had a stapler-in-the-jello icon, which surely would have been my favorite if it was there.

[metonymy.livejournal.com]

6. I think it started with Moulin Rouge, and then it was sort of dormant for a while, although I did see him as Obi-Wan in the SW prequels. And then freshman year of college I started chatting with scriblix who is a HUGE fangirl, and she made me start watching more stuff and picspammed me and I sort of died of Squee. Also she and thieving_gypsy got me to watch Velvet Goldmine, which has Ewan wearing leather pants... and then dropping the leather pants. >:D

7. House is off his Vicodin because of a bet that he's addicted and can't do it, and to cope with the pain from his leg he SMASHES HIS HAND with a heavy object on his desk. Wilson examines it and goes "dude y u broke ur hand?" And somebody made that icon. XD

I DID have a stapler-in-jello icon, but I deleted it at some point. Woe!

And AHAHAHAHA OMG Hanako/Misao/Binshou is like the most adorable thing to ever be invented. Squee.

[thez.livejournal.com]

...

I need to watch "Velvet Goldmine" even more than I need a key lime/chocolate confection.

Well, maybe equally as much.

Ideally both at the same time.

[thez.livejournal.com]

1. You're another person I've just known forever, and when I saw that you had an LJ I jumped on it like not-white on wild rice!

2. Pigeons. Finger Eleven and Moxy Fruvous. COONSKIN CAPS.

3. Well, you just seem so damn loving and understanding. You're not perfect of course, but these qualities seem so consistent in you. I also like your curiosity about the natual world. Like Ru, I dub thee "science geek". ♥

4. I remember you writing as Daisy and general chat craziness, and your awesome poetry site. I remember that, at Otakon, my camera went off on its own and I ended up with a picture of a payphone at a really weird angle, and you took that weird-ass random picture and turned it into an awesome page layout for me! My html skills were not good enough to use it at the time. Maybe they are now? I still have it on my computer.

5. Well, yeah, Avita. And Daisy. XD

6. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR TAIDAI? Or what do you HOPE it holds? Let's say, next 10 years-ish.

7.

[capuu.livejournal.com]

What the-

[thez.livejournal.com]

I AM MAGIC.

1. See Taimi's! I DOGGED YOUR STEPS TO LJ, YOU ELUSIVE LITTLE RECLUSE, YOU.

2. A metric fuckton of anime and games that are still obscure to me. Also: Prismacolors. Always.

3. Reclusive though you are, you can still really get into people's heads. Something about your observational skills here. You have a real skill for appreciating beauty (all kinds of beauty) and articulating it. You are wise and unconventional!

4. We were at Otakon, sitting by the fountain-thing, and I gave you a piece of Pez and you CHUCKED IT INTO THE FOUNTAIN. D: OH THE PAIN. But I also remember you giving me a mariachi hat and hilarious Shitennou doujinshi, so we're even. (AND MARACAS)

5. Belial beats down all comers.

6. WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW? Er, no, I mean: Are you stil writing in any way, shape or form?

7. For so many reasons.

[capuu.livejournal.com]

1. They'll laugh me out of the recluse club I just know it. ;.;

2. Prismacolors! It is good to be thought of along side my GOD.

4. That was indeed a joyous moment! I think the hat was/is from irksnapple, because I remember being in a Floridian thrift/antique store with her, she picking it up and both of us going "Z!!". That hat wouldn't have survived my fucked-up Greyhounding back to VA later, so I hope it staid with Irk before righteously crowning your brow.

Bean show still needs pigtails.

6. I still write, though not as often. My writing's always been a two stage process, notebook-to-keyboard, so rly I'm keeping whatever manages to leak in its paper stage, in that patented reclusive fashion.

[thez.livejournal.com]

Well then I'll have to squee at Irk as well when I see you guys at Otakon!

I was going to squee at her anyway, but now there will be extra squee-ing.

I really can't think of a more appropriate word that "squee".

[lordlazarus.livejournal.com]

Answer me!

also, you owe me answers to my other interview too.

[thez.livejournal.com]

1. I met you in LA, and decided that our LA interactions were simply not enough!

2. Blaxploitation films! And Russ Meyer films!

3. You have a rare ability to be snarky and sarcastic without being a total downer. I've never had a bad time hanging out with your, or thought "Oh, will you just shut up about (blank) already??"

4. Well, we were driving back to Phoenix (theoretically) from the Petrified Forest, and I unknowingly took the wrong turn in Show Low. You said, "Isn't the sun on the wrong side?" potentially saving us hours of driving in the wrong direction, and I told you to shut up. LOOK, IT'S A TREASURED MEMORY FOR ME. I LAUGH EVERY TIME I THINK OF IT.

5. Coffy.

6. What's your ideal date? (I require an actual answer here, not just sarcasm!)

7. I love PBF.

[lordlazarus.livejournal.com]

Aww, why thank you. And haha, I had forgotten all about the "sun is on the wrong side" comment.

As for a perfect date, we would go to a museum of some sort (art, natural history, those would be nice). Movies are nice and all, but on date, I think it is much better to allow as much time as possible for conversation.Then we would go somewhere for dinner (nothing extremely fancy, extra points if he pays). We would finish with coffee and a nice long walk.

[pixle.livejournal.com]

Hit me baby one more time!

[thez.livejournal.com]

1. I'm pretty sure we met in chat, and when I joined LJ and saw that you had one I said "PIXLE, YAY!" Because I loved you in chat!

2. Anything and everything Nintendo.

3. You are a very genuine and friendly person, very easy going, and you have a great sense of humor! Your sense of humor is usually the first thing that comes to mind when I think of you!

4. I used to call you "Le Pix" as an anagram for Pixle, and you said, "NO, that's masculine," and I said "Is 'Lez Pix' acceptable?" and you agreed!

5. Even though I don't play in MS (YET), Sailor Fireruby.

6. Since you are, SO FAR, the only person I know from Quebec, I am curious as to your opinions on the whole Quebec separatist phenomenon. If you don't want such a political opinion posted on the 'net, you could just e-mail me instead. XD

7. GAHAHAHAHAHA.
