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.
If I do this for you, then you must (no pressure, though -me) post this on yours.
These are fun and this time I intend to be truthful and, you know, spend time on my replies. Or mayhaps I'm just a masochist with flashes of sadism for good measure.

Date: 2006-06-05 03:53 am (UTC)Challenge for you: Harp on a positive in your life that's not writing.
Color associated with you: Dark Ivy. (http://www.libertysignshoppe.com/vinyl.gif) Almost black but not quite. There's more than meets the eye.
One thing I like about you: The enthusiasm that comes through when you're excited about something.
First/Clearest Memory Of You: I can't recall our first conversation, but I do remember many after. Hilarious and enlightening conversations. I'm addicted to a number of bands I'd otherwise not care about because of you.
Animal You Remind Me Of: A plush donkey named Eeyore. What, isn't he part of the animal kingdom?
What I've Always Wanted to Ask You: Why don't you come out and address people you're peeved off at for whatever reason?

Date: 2006-06-05 03:56 pm (UTC)Positive in my life that isn't writing...Hmm...I think I'm getting better at this HTML thing...And sometimes I'm photogenic.
Eeyore totally counts. For reals.
I'm a wuss. I don't like hurting people's feelings and I've never been good at confrontation, really.

Date: 2006-06-06 03:27 pm (UTC)Random about you: You're a lot more normal than I thought you'd be. Way to buck the trend of smart kids being quirky beyond measure (IMHO, of course).
Challenge for you: I have nothing, although I do think you'd hesitate reading a comic book for some reason.
Color associated with you: Something bright and vibrant. A warm red,, perhaps.
One thing I like about you:
Your boobs*snort* What *don't* I like, sez I. Your Fran Drescher laugh ranks right up there.First/Clearest Memory Of You: Watching you crochet?knit? in Puff and Pao right before the first bookclub meeting. Taking in the action while sipping tea and chatting was quite soothing.
Animal You Remind Me Of: Hmm. I should pull out my Zoobooks. Oddly enough, a robin. Don't ask me why.
What I've Always Wanted to Ask You: What are you going to do when you're done with Cornell?

Date: 2006-06-06 03:37 pm (UTC)Random about you:I keep forgetting you're in California and thinking you're in NYC somewhere. I'm unsure why the whole time zone difference makes a difference (awkward, that) but maybe it has something to do with chat opportunities.
Challenge for you: Wasabi. Roll. With no water. Yes, I have nothing. I'm not so good with the challenges.
Color associated with you: Something muted. Perhaps a little stormy. Dark Teal? (http://www.libertysignshoppe.com/vinyl.gif)
One thing I like about you: Your smarts shine through, even when you're being reticent. And you think Little Earthquakes is an amazing album (ditto, btw).
First/Clearest Memory Of You: Hard, because of the whole online thing.
Animal You Remind Me Of: Continuing my pilfering of Milne's creations, Piglet.

Date: 2006-06-11 02:54 am (UTC)Challenge for you: I'm not so good with the challenges. How about...share five bad things about FMA. That's meant to be completely open and somewhat ambiguous, btw.
Color associated with you: Forest Green (http://www.libertysignshoppe.com/vinyl.gif). These things, I can't really explain the "whys" of, okay?
One thing I like about you: Your choice of reading material.
First/Clearest Memory Of You: Weird with the whole online thing, but I do recall being thrilled to find another big Coldfire fan (love your Yahoo handle, btw *grin*).
Animal You Remind Me Of:Something quiet yet with purposeful movement. Hmm. A brown mackerel tabby domestic longhair perhaps? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Longhair_Tabby_JaJa.jpg)
And fine, I picked that particular feline because I love the fact that it's lying on a pen. Mightier than the sword, indeed.
What I've Always Wanted to Ask You: Is your hometown really called Niceville?
no subject
Date: 2006-06-11 03:35 am (UTC)1. After a certain point, the anime is completely different from the manga, and I really wish they hadn't done that.
2. A few of the characters have random Japanese names, when the rest of them have European/Western names. That bugs me.
3. Especially early in the series, the main plot gets sidetracked by random "Hey help us do _____!" episodes/chapters, which drives me nuts no matter what series it is. It's not so bad later on though.
4. Anime-only characters. There's a pretty good number of them and I don't really like any of them.
5. Waiting for new manga chapters. They only come out once a month, and recently they haven't been clearing up anything I want more info on. Heheh.
The color you picked is creepy, because that's one of my favorite colors. Heheheh. And same thing with the cat.
XD I was so happy to find another Coldfire fan too. There are too few of us.
And yes, my hometown really is called Niceville. I get that question on a pretty regular basis, along with all of the attending jokes and puns. XD
no subject
Date: 2006-06-11 04:27 am (UTC)And boy am I glad I didn't make the quip about Niceville that I planned on doing. :/
But still...Niceville? Whyohwhy? Heh.
no subject
Date: 2006-06-11 02:13 pm (UTC)lol, I have no idea why they named this place Niceville. I suppose it's better than the original name, which was 'Boggy', but it's still weird. Some of the kids in my highschool band started responding to the "Is it nice there?" question with "Actually, it started as a prison colony." It's not true, but we had to have some fun with it. XD

Date: 2006-06-11 03:27 am (UTC)Challenge for you: Watch two episodes of "Sex and the City". Yes, I'm evil incarnate.
Color associated with you: No color comes to mind when I think of you. Perhaps black would be appropriate.
One thing I like about you: You come across as confident in your journal, if not completely secure in your skin. I admire the personal conviction even if it's not focused at the moment.
First/Clearest Memory Of You: Reading an issue recap of Ariel comics and being intrigued.
Animal You Remind Me Of: A mole. Something about living underground. It's all vague.
What I've Always Wanted to Ask You: What do you do in your free time?
no subject
Date: 2006-06-11 04:32 am (UTC)Mostly read the SA Forums, read Wikipedia, comics, assorted books that I'm reading at the time. So yeah, mostly a lot of reading. Sometimes listening to music, chatting on AIM, and writing in my LJ.

Date: 2006-06-05 03:09 pm (UTC)If you can.
Ooh a dare!

Date: 2006-06-11 04:03 am (UTC)Random about you: I often think of you as a fellow gimp, although hopefully your injury won't have you limping as often as mine makes me. Solidarity's a lovely thing.
Challenge for you: Make a list of ten things that you like about yourself and keep in it your jacket pocket. Laminate it if you wish, and pull it out and ruminate on it when you have a couple of free minutes on your hand.
Color associated with you: Vivid Blue (http://www.libertysignshoppe.com/vinyl.gif). I think the tone suits: it's bright but not overwhelming. And it's simply nifty, don't you think?
One thing I like about you: Your humor and your occasional wackiness.
First/Clearest Memory Of You: The online thing makes this hard, but I do recall being thrilled that you liked BSG.
Animal You Remind Me Of: A meerkat? The more I ponder the choice the more I think it fits. Again, don't ask.
What I've Always Wanted to Ask You: Where were your born? What's your hometown?
no subject
Date: 2006-06-17 04:06 pm (UTC)I was born in Rotherham. Arse end of the universe.
