I’m under orders. Blame luinmir.
luinmir.Comment to this entry and:
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on yours.
Also, why is Boz Scaggs cooler than you? Well, there’s his voice, and his funky good music. There’s his poetic imagery in his lyrics. But all that’s icing.
Boz Scaggs is cooler than you because he rhymes “Buddha” with “computer.”
Damn, I bet you wish you’d thought of that first.

Date: 2006-07-06 08:54 am (UTC)1. (I'll respond with something random about you.) I think I read a mention of you in one of my mom’s O magazines a while back.
2. (I'll challenge you to try something.) If you like old school games, I challenge you to beat Super Mario RPG for the SNES. An awesome, awesome game.
3. (I'll pick a color that I associate with you.) Soft pink and a really warm yellow. In loops.
4. (I'll tell you something I like about you.) Your openness.
5. (I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.) I remember it so clearly. I was at the prince’s ball, where the men murmured soft invitations to the ladies, who batted their eyelashes and flitted like butterflies in their bright dresses. But all was for naught with me. I remained to the side, bored at the flock of noblemen surrounding me and promising me jewels and riches—and then, a trumpeting fanfare sounded. We all turned, and there you were, framed in the light of the setting sun, your gown alight like the stars, your mask a fascinating hint at your magnificent features. Our eyes met, and I knew I had found a friend …
… Hey, this is the internet. I can make up whatever shit I want.
6. (I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.) A Maine coon cat.
7. (I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.) Does your icon mean anything special?
8. (If I do this for you, you must post this on yours.) Unless you already have, of course.

3. (I'll pick a color that I associate with you.) Violet.
4. (I'll tell you something I like about you.) That you have sentient bugs in your science fiction stories. Because that means you WRITE science fiction.
5. (I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.) Waiting in line at Japan Night. I was discussing Terry Pratchett with some friends, and you overheard me and introduced yourself.
6. (I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.) A gila monster. No, I don’t know why.
7. (I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.) So … tell me more about your writing endeavors.
8. (If I do this for you, you must post this on yours.) You asked for it.
Okay, so I'll do it to you, too.
Date: 2006-07-06 03:45 am (UTC)2. I challenge you to draw something in anime style.
3. You're purple. Definately purple. Like eggplant purple.
4. I like your wit. It's like Liz's. Only politer.
5. My first memory of you would be that funny look you gave me when we met.
6. To me, you would have to be... a meat-eating stork.
7. Are you gay? I mean, seriously. I'm not just talking for Sigourney Weaver, here, too.
8. I would do this, too. But it would be on DeviantArt.
I'm kidding about #7, too ;)

Re: Okay, so I'll do it to you, too.
Date: 2006-07-06 08:58 am (UTC)I kid, as well.
Also, a meat-eating stork would be awesome. With, like sabre teeth.

7. (I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.) Are you?

Date: 2006-07-06 03:55 am (UTC)2. I challenge you to go a whole day without turning on your i-pod.
3. Purple, and not just becuase Emily said so too, but because it really is your color.
4. I like your big brown "bambi" eyes. You should wear your contacts more often.
5. I remember sitting at convocation and wondering about that "person to our left" that will one day cure cancer.
6. An owl. You have the big eyes and you keep late hours.
7. Why can't you wipe up the water off the counter after you wash your face/chest?! WHY I ask you??? It would take such little effort and keep me from getting little water-marks on the legs of my pants. But nooo... (And your sis is with me on this. Just ask her)
8. I have nowhere to post this. I have no need for a livejournal cuz most of the interesting stuff I do during the school year you comment on anyway.
~Love Liz

Date: 2006-07-06 09:00 am (UTC)Keep looking! Statistically, that person has GOT to be to our left at SOME point.
1. (I'll respond with something random about you.) I wouldn’t be surprised if you quit art history and became a coroner.
2. (I'll challenge you to try something.) I challenge you to watch Sideways! HAHAHAHAHA!
3. (I'll pick a color that I associate with you.) Olive green. Yup, yup. Definitely. And black. Black too. Crap! It’s snowing!
4. (I'll tell you something I like about you.) I like the doodles you make when you’re in class. They’re interesting and different from anything in my head.
5. (I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.) We were in that Anthropology and Folklore FIG group together, and you were wearing a shirt that had Delirium on it. I thought it was a band. I tried to strike up a conversation, but we got shuffled away from each other and then met up again later.
6. (I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.) A vulk.
7. (I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.) Say … does the carpet match the curtains? *ducks projectiles and flees*
8. (If I do this for you, you must post this on yours.) Remember how you had a deviantArt account? Or are you just not interesting during the summer?

Date: 2006-07-07 04:02 am (UTC)2. (I'll challenge you to try something.) Learn some metalwork! I know you want to ...

4. (I'll tell you something I like about you.) That you aren't afraid to be yourself.
5. (I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.) When you rescued me from that horrible kayaking accident in the Yukon. Thanks again for that, by the way. (Isn't the internet fun?)
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. (I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.) Um ... are you willing to eat things that are bright blue?
8. (If I do this for you, you must post this on yours.) You don't HAVE to ...
no subject
Date: 2006-07-07 07:40 am (UTC)Bright orange - maybe so - It's actually one I made myself so it's pretty special to me
And yes, you were in quite a pickle that day. You were just lucky I brought enough rope...and the live chicken came in rather handy too.
And bright blue? I have before, so I don't see why not.

Date: 2006-07-13 09:59 pm (UTC)1. (I'll respond with something random about you.) Your character sketches are original and creative, and lots of fun, too.
2. (I'll challenge you to try something.) Um … oh, I know! Include some sign language in your stories!
3. (I'll pick a color that I associate with you.) A natural green with gold flecks.
4. (I'll tell you something I like about you.) Your introspection and the way you deliberate on many angles before reaching any conclusions.
5. (I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.) I had just arrived on the space station to continue my research on xenoanthropological cultures in a heterogeneous setting. I ordered some hot Earl Grey tea from the bartender in the restaurant and then, behind me, I heard you and the chief engineer ranting in disgust over the installation of the so-called “universal translators.” As I recall, you seemed not to buy into their supposed miracle fix-alls for linguistics … and that induced me to strike up a conversation.
6. (I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.) An Arctic fox.
7. (I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.) Why do you say your cat is Republican?
8. (If I do this for you, you must post this on yours.) I am bossy.

Date: 2006-07-14 01:02 am (UTC)2. In the Rainbow Room, following the showdown between boho-klepto-gambler otter Bridges and a mute carp-clam hacker, after he's slashed her remote control sai to pieces, he drops his three swords and begins to ask her in sign language who she is, what she wants, why she does what she does, whether she's really happy in the relationship she's in or not.
This is the first time she doesn't have to use her sight and hearing-sharing mindlink with her girlfriend and intercoms to talk to people through, the first really private conversation she can have with anyone in years, because for all of her fighting and case winning prowess, her beloved sightless angler doesn't speak sign language.
Bridges then discovers that a lawyer's judgement doesn't necessarily turn itself off when she leaves the courtoom, and that while there's nothing wrong with being mute, there can be some real disadvantages to being unable to really talk back.
3. ^.^
4. Thank you. Not everyone appreciates that.
5. Heheh. I'm no Dr. Polaski, but technological progress actually benefits from having its limits pointed out to it when they're being voiced reasonably and taken seriously, and the complex nuances linguistics are typically regretfully easy to gloss over/oversimplify in the minds of people who haven't really looked at them.
6. That's a first, and it intrigues me. May I ask why?
7. Well, for one thing, she loves to hunt. She doesn't like other cats or different animals coming into our yard, and her territoriality remind me of some Americans' attitude toward immigrants. She's always trying to go on other yards to mark the trees on them also, and her expansionist policy reminds us of the current administration also. She has a tendency to pick fights even when she has no chance of winning just on general principle. She eats almost exclusively meat even though I won't touch the stuff, and showing off how picky she is is important enough to waste food in a way in which I don't think I'd like to let myself do so. She's very attached to her creature comforts and doesn't like to share all that much, especially with people who she feels haven't earned what she's earned.
8. We'll see. :>

Date: 2006-07-14 06:13 am (UTC)I'm not sure why an Arctic Fox sprang to mind. Your dignity resembles that of a canine's ~ a bit friendlier than a feline's ~ but not in a big ostentatious dog way ~ not like a wolf. Neither are you something small and ineffective; rather, you're small and graceful and elegant, but still something to be reckoned with. And while you said you like reptiles, too, I see you as warm-blooded.
Actually, it just sprang to mind, and then I had to figure out why afterward.
Also, your definition of a Republican cat makes mucho sense. :D

3. (I'll pick a color that I associate with you.) Bright turquoise
4. (I'll tell you something I like about you.) Your wonderful comedic timing and dry delivery.
5. (I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.) You were in a plastic bin or something with a little pink bow glued to your head. We brought you a musical doll and a duck.
6. (I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.) A sabre-toothed kangaroo.
7. (I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.) If a train going at 60 miles an hour leaves Cleveland at 4:20 …
8. (If I do this for you, you must post this on yours.) So get one!
