For once it's all about you. Oh, and I guess me too.

[constance]

Straight from the lj of amelia_eve:

If you comment...

1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.

You can specify which you want answered. Otherwise I'll pick two or three at random. And you should post this in your lj, if you feel like it, but far be it from me to insist or anything.

1, 6 and 7, pleez.

1. something random I like about you: I love reading your posts when you're furious about something. Your voice is always articulate and funny and worth reading, but when you're angry, there's a certain je ne sais quoi--a hyperclarity, maybe--that intensifies everything.

6. an appropriate quote: Oh, I'm bad at stuff like this. Let's see, though... here's a Doctor Who one: Anybody remotely interesting is mad in some way or another.

7. something that I've always wanted to know: are all your opinions truly as unequivocal and strongly-felt as they come across in your writing?

[tofty.livejournal.com]

D'oh! Sorry for crappy html.

[laurelwood.livejournal.com]

Well, of course I'm going to clamor for this, with the "pick at random" option for optimum fun!

[venivincere]

I love your icon. The eyebrows remind me vaguely of my grandma.

1. something random I like about you: I like that I feel as though we've been pals for years, hanging out with each other so often that we finish each other's sentences and understand each other's quirks. Relatedly, I like that you're the sort of person who inspires this feeling in probably about 85% of your friendslist.

3. something we should do together: so many things to choose from! But we should definitely have a picnic lunch.

5. clearest visual memory: you in your Dumbledore mask.

[tinderblast.livejournal.com]

How interesting.

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you: your posts always make me laugh, always.

2. movie that reminds me of you: you can probably guess this one. :D

5. my clearest memory of you: You know, I remember you best for those long-ago fannish conversations you had with S! You and she seemed to spark each other off in the most interesting ways.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Random me, baby!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you: I like reading your posts about what you like about writing, both doing it yourself and reading it--mostly because our approaches to both are so very, very different. And that when you're writing about them, you can get me to understand where you're coming from, and sympathize.

3. something we should do together: have a CKR film festival! You could educate me!

4. something I've always wondered about you: Do you mind living in such a landlocked state? Maybe it's this particular icon, but you strike me as being a bit of a water-sprite sort.

1. something random I like about you: I like that you look like the absolute nicest person ever to walk the face of the earth. Maybe it's your eyes? Your beard? I don't know, but it's really true.

2. a film/song that reminds me of you: Rubber Johnny, with its Aphex Twin background.

5. my first memory of you: you weren't even around! On my second day at work or something like that, T. took my employee number for a discount, and when I gave it to her, she said, Hey, you must be from New Orleans--I'm dating a guy whose SS# has the same prefix. So before I ever met you, I knew you were a NO person, and I felt especially disposed to like you.

ME ME ME

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you: I like that you don't actually ever call attention to the tireless fandom work you do--you're one of those salt-of-the-fandom-earth people who quietly keeps things running.

3. something we should do together: I totally, totally want to be in your book club. Still.

7. something that I've always wondered about you: what does your voice sound like?

[leestone.livejournal.com]

I am resisting the urge to greedily demand all seven. B-)

your wish is my command! :D

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you. I like that you aren't afraid to speak your mind.

2. a movie that reminds me of you: Almost Famous is the obvious first choice. But SO MANY OTHERS.

3. something we should do together: Wouldn't it be nice to live in the same city, one day?

4. something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me). WSPDJ rules! ♥♥♥

5. my first memory of you: talking about Harry/Snape on Deadjournal, in such a way that I instantly wished we were friends.

6. a quote that is somehow appropriate to you: My beloved, let's get down to business. --Public Enemy

7. something that I've always wondered about you: why you don't act more often.

[amelia-eve.livejournal.com]

Share and share alike.

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you: your taste in music! Almost all the current music you mention is stuff I already like or want to listen to.

2. a movie that reminds me of you: Snow White, of course.

7. something that I've always wondered about you: What is your apartment like?

[soliloquia.livejournal.com]

There should be an emoticon that shows a full set of teeth, signifying at once a big bright grin and a voracious urge. I want to know 4 in particular, choose as you see fit for the rest.

1. something random I like about you: I love the way you speak/write English--it's so delightfully lyrical.

5. My clearest memory of you: this isn't a memory at all, it's more like a fantasy! But it's based on something you once said to me. I dream of meeting you for the first time at a party, where you are talking earnestly of mushrooms, and I am instantly enamoured.

4. something that make sense to us two (though it could also souble as an appropriate quote!): I confess I feel deeply troubled when I consider how unusually delicate and insubstantial the moon is. The moon, as everyone knows, is usually made in Hamburg, and they make a complete hash of it. I’m surprised that the English don’t do something about it. The moon is manufactured by a lame cooper, and it’s obvious the idiot has no idea what it should be made of. The materials he uses are tarred rope and linseed oil. That’s why there’s such a terrible stink all over the earth, which makes us stop our noses up. Nikolai Gogol

1. something random I like about you: Hahahahaha, I love every phone post you've ever made, drunk or sober. I love them so much that I can no longer read anything you've written without hearing it in your voice, in my head.

2. movie that reminds me of you: Boondock Saints!

3. something we should do together: I'd like to talk get together with you and leestone to talk about Battlestar Galactica, actually. I mean, for real.

[venivincere]

Whee hoo. I'm all about the random. :-D

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you: your Joshie posts--you can tell from the way you write about him how much you love him and worry for him, even the funny ones.

3. something we should do together: I'm thinking unrepentantly escapist--seeing a Noel Coward play and having dinner together on a whirlwind day trip to NYC. My treat!

4. an appropriate quote:
I have kept hidden in the instep arch
Of an old cedar at the waterside
A broken drinking goblet like the Grail
Under a spell so strong the wrong ones can't find it,
So can't get saved, as Saint Mark says they mustn't.
(I stole the goblet from the children's playouse.)
Here are your waters and your watering place.
Drink and be whole again beyond confusion.

[submarine.livejournal.com]

Me! Pick me!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you: You have the prettiest eyes, and the happiest smile. Is that two things? I think they're related, though.

2. a movie that reminds me of you: Fight Club :D

5. my first memory of you: I think it was some flamewar! And you and Aja and Anna kept posting little monkey smileys. I didn't get it exactly, but I did think it was funny, and I remember thinking, so who is this thessamunga?

[proteinscollide.livejournal.com]

I don't mind which ones you answer. =)

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you: You appear so rarely on LJ, these days, that your mere presence on my friendspage or as a commenter is pretty much likely to make my day. I mean, you could totally make a post about vomiting gummy bears and my second thought would be O_o, but my first thought would be SQ! *_*

3. something we should do together: you know, I think we might write well together--I mean, it seems as though our styles might mix well--so I'd really like to test this theory one day!

5. my first memory of you: DIARYLAND OMG - you and Trin are both writers I associate really strongly with Diaryland, even though it's been years since you last posted in that journal (as far as I know).

[bowdlerized.livejournal.com]

meeee! :*

[tofty.livejournal.com]

1. something random I like about you: I like that even though you claim to be in a constant state of whirl, your manner is grounded and calm. I think it's an interesting contradiction.

3. Something we should do together: I've taken you to Sonic, so I'd like to do the NYC equivalent with you. A New York pizza, maybe!

6. an appropriate quote: We cleared a space for him to sleep in, and we let the silence that's our trademark make its presence felt. Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of this; it'll put color in your cheeks. -- The Mountain Goats
