Date: 2008-10-19 08:22 am (UTC)am over my feud with LJ
Date: 2008-10-21 06:03 pm (UTC)You friended me. And I friend back. Unless we went to high school together and I disliked you. Did we, secretly? Maybe you were That Creepy Guy, and have since undergone major surgery and gotten a personality and our entire interaction is an elaborate plan to get me back for that time I was snotty to you in AP Psych or something. If so, goo effort!
b) Associate you with something -- a fandom, song, colour, photo, etc.
Why 'photo'? That's kind of a weird one. Wonderwall then. You do love that one. Five. Tea. Pralines. And Austen. And kind of a lot of other things.
c) Tell you something I like about you.
Hm. Does one go for something striking and unusual or a sturdy, classic compliment? Well, have a few middling ones. Telling you stupid, random things that I thought or that happened to me makes them amusing, gives things I would have just forgotten about or never happened to mention to anyone shape and context. I don't tell you something you said was really funny or exactly right in that startling 'oh, yes, of course' way near as much as I might because it would just be repetitive to tell you so every time it happened. I like that you tell me when you think I'm wrong or being lazy, that you call me on things, but are clear/articulate in your reasoning and sensibilities and never /entirely/ inflexible in the face of argument.
d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
Er, how about our tragical-magical watching of Battlefield? That was rather For the Books in terms of Tales of Great Befuddlement. Or all the times I screwed up and was late/could not find the major London landmark in question and didn't have a phone to properly call you and made you wait b/c I'm an ass? That's a lame one to balance the lameness of my dying all over your couch in your Memory.
e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you
Who would win in a physical fight: Gene or the Brig? In a context for your love, platonic or otherwise? In the event of a zombie apocalypse?
f) Tell you my favorite userpic from your list
in no order: Hip to my Jive, Salieri, Ainley!chin, not awash with ambiguity, three and jo
g) In return, you need to post this on your own LJ.
OR ON MINE I GUESS.
Re: am over my feud with LJ
Date: 2008-10-21 08:54 pm (UTC)and did you ever read the shoebox_project from which 'are you are are you not hip to my jive comes?" i think we may have talked about it and you said no. it's god. many such classic moments.
also one assumes you associate me with... photos of me. astonishing.
Re: am over my feud with LJ
Date: 2008-10-21 11:58 pm (UTC)anyway. didn't come back to say that or that miss congeniality was awesome (though it was). just that your answer to c makes me feel a bit like sally at the end of 'when harry met sally'. "i love that you get cold when its 71 degrees out". if i hadn't already said yes, that probably would have done it, though i feel that you must be thinking about someone else with the articulate arguing because i thought my thing was more a but complete failure to explain anything properly.
to deviate from that point again: your brig vs. gene question reminds me that i was hit by a LoM/vintage who/new who crossover tastic idea at work today which i probably won't get done before i enter the fanfic embargo that is nanowrimo. in which sam is the master and delgado is the master and is caught by manchester CID and has to be sprung by three only to return a bi later to unfobwatch sam. i can't figure out how to write them talking to each other when both are the master though. oh the magic of television. it makes things so easy.
Re: am over my feud with LJ
Date: 2008-10-22 02:54 pm (UTC)Goosnake: *forms a turtle*
Doctor: *awkward golf claps, smiling with some strain b/c he's seen the turtle one at least 6 times before, but he made the mistake of expressing too much enthusiasm the first time, and now the Master thinks it's his favorite, and it's an earth animal, so why wouldn't it be? and so does it *all the time.*
But you don't actually do the 'it's just great' thing terribly much, or to the exclusion of pointing out specific /reasons/ why it's great, or specific things that are perfect--and really, what's that but the whole substance of an argument for whatever it is?
I /love/ that idea and do really want it written, but frankly if the Master can get caught and kept by CID Manchester without extenuating circumstances like Timelord Krptonite on the premessis, he deserves to be left there by Three. People with names like 'sticky fingers jo' worm their way out of Phylis's tender mercies: surely the Master can waltz out. He had better be severely wounded, for his sake, lest I loose the tattered remains of my respect for him.

Date: 2008-10-19 11:24 am (UTC)a) Tell you why I friended you.
Because you friended me and I was like hello there new person!
b) Associate you with something -- a fandom, song, colour, photo, etc.
Vore fic. Sorry. you introduced me to that Epic Sad, reap the associative consequences. Also foodie things.
c) Tell you something I like about you.
That air of collected post-college having of an interesting life that makes me not fear for the bleak university-less future/realize that I don't have to hide from turning 25 like it's Logan's Run and instead of dying they just hit me with a ray gun that makes me into my mother?
d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
Having to beta Three/Brig. O_O
e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you
I'm never /quite/ clear: do you have some RL writing job? I suspect yes, something journalisticy or food-related or something.
f) Tell you my favorite userpic from your list
Tanning's Night Music, beating Robing of the Bride and Five's o_O face by the slimmest of margins.
g) In return, you need to post this on your own LJ.
Not necessary, but you already have, so moot point.

Date: 2008-10-19 02:44 pm (UTC)c) Heh. Thanks. That actually makes me feel better myself.
d) Er. Heh. Sorry. ^_^
e) I'm paid to be a technical writer, but I'm also writing restaurant reviews for Austinist.com, and have written comics reviews for Bookforum. I also had a longstanding column-writing gig at Bookslut.com. And then there's the two YA novel projects I have cranking in the background, and I'm also going to be submitting a Who spec script to the Austin Film Festival screenplay competition next year.
Now if only I could learn to get by on 2-4 hours of sleep a night. Not faffing around on the internets might help too...

b) Associate you with something -- a fandom, song, colour, photo, etc.
Blue and that electric green you like so much. The song 'Touched,'
because I got it off your comp and love it to bits.
c) Tell you something I like about you.
Mostly you are my favorite. Even when we don't talk for a long span of time, it's always /easy/ to start right where we left off. I have other favorites as well, but you are infinitely the best person to come to when I'm depressed, when there's something v. complicated that I need tot talk about, or when I'm pleased about something very, very stupid. I think it's because you're clever, but you're also v. patient and able to grasp a whole messy mix of complications, and never, ever make me feel patronized.
d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
Das applebeez? Ponies through the Bennigans? Das Capitalz? 'Have a Dima'? Ghost comma? The time we did not actually form a band with Colin?
e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you
Whatchu gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk?

Hardy and adaptable--not a pussy. Though endowed with one. A study in contradictions, you.
d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
Chickens broth /naturally./
e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you
Why is your one DDR mix strangely addictive and still in my car even though its no longer the same car? WHY?!

Really too many things. A scary amount of things. Roadtrips, scores of songs (ahahah pun--and of that note--), physical abuse, how Xena was important in the Battle of Marathon...
c) Tell you something I like about you.
Your mattress.
d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
You drunkenly crying about 1) the existence of racism, 2) the pope's death, 3) the eventuality of human mortality all. over. me.
e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you
How much would you pay to see Macie Grey (I would wiki the spelling but no, I'm raw like sushi) and Dorian "I'm Cooooomplicated" Grey in a bitchfight? Would it have changed your opinion of me if he /had/ been John Ashcroft?
f) Tell you my favorite userpic from your lista

Our eyes met across a crowded room in EEE, and I knew you were the one--the one--the girl who would engage in embarrassing under-the blanket sexcapades with He Who Heard The Clarion Call under the blankets on the couch when we were all just innocently trying to watch something. You know. That one.
b) Associate you with something -- a fandom, song, colour, photo, etc.
Every time something Latin or Equestrian comes along, it's tagged 'Heather' in my mind.
c) Tell you something I like about you.
All that whispering in my ear, telling me things that I want to hear, because it's true. That's what I like about you. And chorus.
Really let's go with your cleverness mixed with a complete lack of pretension, your political savy and how you're good with animals.
d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
There are many--um. Let's go with that last Church's chicken excursion b/c I'm SO HUNGRY RITE NAO.
e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you

b) Associate you with something -- a fandom, song, colour, photo, etc.
really you get the blanked concept of RPing. Happy birthday?
c) Tell you something I like about you.
Your conversation is snappy and pleasant. Like good tea with lemon. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND GOOD TEA IN ISRAEL? Sorry, got distracted by Woe. Also Willing To Go Off On Tangents With ME: clearly a quality I seek in my associates.
d) Tell you a memory I have of you.
That time we drank absinthe by the Seine and you fell in and drowned but it was cool because the rats bore you aloft on their shoulders and made you their Mottled Rat Queen? Ah, good times. What a Tuesday that was.
e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you
I want your /stats/! Basically I have no idea /what/ you are: you might be like, an octopus in Inner Mongolia with a laptop, a furry fetish, and a job drinking smoothies professionally. I WOULD NOT KNOW, OKAY?
f) Tell you my favorite userpic from your list

d) People will never understand my connection with rats.
e) I am a nineteen year old high school graduate who, while having taken a few college courses, is still figuring out what she wants to be besides a writer. Currently trying to find a job so as to pay for more classes and earn my keep at my parents' - emotional support and helping with pets only goes so far. ;p This is made a bit difficult by physical and psychological problems, which is very annoying. I live in a tiny town in New Jersey.
I am, in fact, an octopus.
f) I use others! Sometimes! On occasion! ...LOOK AT CUTE FIVE.
g) You better :|

Sam squirreling away weapons from you when you're drunk, Rachel's class, ghost comma, the hellish torment that was last studying for finals week.

Psychologically, what's the draw of tentacle porn? this isn't a cheap 'because you're Asian and would know' question, I'm just looking at your icon and wondering
