OMG, it’s been a while, involving pneumonia flattening Dave, MID APRIL SNOW, and fun with gentian violet… haven’t even taken many pictures yet. Anyway, bizarrogirl had this, and it seemed like a good way to make sure my typepad account was still working. (also, you don’t *have* to post it in your own journal, if you don’t want…I’m not much of a rules stickler.)
Comment and I’ll:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, a sexual position, etc. (Or, not)
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.
Comment!
I need an excuse to post! do me! do me!
Jeanne:
1. Because of Digs, initially…
2. I assume they mean “random:” The dirty statue on your capital building
3. Your cooking ability, and your internet cooking coaching skills.
4. You talking to Amy when I was being induced. Just such a weird, cool thing.
5. Alton Brown
6. What crossroads have you come to in life that has had the most impact on your life? Or, what would your last meal be?
7. No userpic, but the image in my head of you almost always reverts to a pic on Digs, that you took in your rearview or vanity mirror.
For Brooke:
1. Again, I think it started with Digs….
2. The turquoise color of your sign
3. That you are so totally down to earth.
4. The stories of growing up in a Manhattan high rise… I LOVE those.
5. Eloise. See above.
6. If you couldn’t live anyplace you have lived, where would you live?
7. The one with the camera.
Oh, random. I thought it was just a fan-fic thing, that would match the “pairing” question…
Do me! Do me!
me please!
Me too!
For Yam:
1. Digs, again!
2. Coolmax.
3. Your commitment to your family, school, and church is so evident, and yet it isn’t… condescending. (Having a hard time putting it into words, so I hope that THAT isn’t condescending!)
4. Wedding with Fire.
5. I feel like you should be a video game character, but I don’t play video games! You should definitely be animated or CGI, though.
6. If you couldn’t live where you do, where would you?
7. Miss Honeybee. My sister had one, too.
For Amity:
For Yam:
1. You tripped over me on the internet!
2. Sugar Pumpkin
3. Your ability to see beauty every day.
4. A going away party (I think?) before you went to Venezuela, where we were at your farm.
5. Laura Ingalls Wilder
6. When can we get together? (Seriously!)
7. Hmm, they are all good (photos in general, not userpics…)esp the recent gardening ones.
Annemarie:
1. Project Goals in the convent, represent!
2. Cupcake
3. Being on the same page, esp wrt motherhood… I wish you were closer!
4. IKEA! (Ingrid actually lost a shoe at Target a few weeks ago, and I thought of you then — there, though, someone found it and turned it in.)
5. God,this one is the hardest… Ayun Halliday? But she’s an author.
6. Did you guys survive the storm okay? And when are you coming to Maine again?
7. Anything with the girls included. 🙂
6. If you couldn’t live anyplace you have lived, where would you live?
I fantasize about living in the Northwest (specifically Portland), I can see myself living temporarily in Atlanta, I imagine myself in Milwakee and know that I would enjoy living in Austin.
I would live in Victoria! If you made me choose somewhere that was actually far away I would be stumped I think. I’ve visited lots of places that would be lovely to live in, but I really just want to live where my peoples are. (Unless they live in a snowy terror-land, I hate snow so bad, although if Dr. Breana ever snuck me in her bags to antarctica I SO wouldn’t complain or at least not for long.) If I could drag them all with me and BC was still forbidden (Vancouver is always my favourite.), maybe Florida. FIL could grow all the bizarre citrus trees he wanted, without having to coddle them through the winter. Although maybe that would take all the fun out of it.
For gretchen!
1. Digs, natch. Although this journal particularly had me hooked from the extended dance remix version of your rant about the OMM. I still think of her occasionally; I have this lovely kitsch-tacular garlic box she made me for a package exchange one time. I hope her asthmatic cigarette child is doing okay.
2. Golden horseshoe commemorative keychain.
3. Hallowe’en wedding. High five!
4. Mucus microscope.
5. Henry Rollins. I mean, associate with, not “think you look like.” Although we haven’t met, so I guess you could have a giant neck that you photoshop out of every picture. But it all seems so unlikely.
6. So, homeschooling?
7. You don’t have userpics exactly. But I keep going back to look at the fatkitty portraits. So. Damn. Fat. Heart heart heart!
Storm was a non issue here, just a little windy and rainy. I imagine that it was worse up there. ILs in Portland lost power for 1.5 days.
We are coming up to ME for SIL’s wedding July 28th. Mark your calendar, we will probably be up for a week!!!
[[[[“5. Henry Rollins. I mean, associate with, not “think you look like.” Although we haven’t met, so I guess you could have a giant neck that you photoshop out of every picture. But it all seems so unlikely.”]]]]
Not to mention altering all of Ingrid’s pics too. I am certain that Rollins neck is a dominant trait.
Now I have to go look up Ayun Halliday…
