a) It happened some time after hanging out with the 15th friend we have in common... b) Your middle finger. ;) c) My favorite thing about you is that you've always, always been super nice and friendly and attentive to me, in a way that not too many others can sustain. d) I remember buckstar's garage sale: when you showed up, you immediately gave me shit for some random Fandangan reason... but you did it with a smile. That's classy! e) How come we don't hang out more? f) I like your "whee" one the most (although "fierce" also looks like you're having fun :) g) I think you're actually off the hook for re-posting this. ;)
a) Gosh, I don't remember! Was it because we lived so close to each other? b) Massage! c) I like how you remind yourself and others from time to time that this journal is for you first and foremost. I think that's a great healthy thing to keep in mind. d) I remember you coming to the aid of your neighbors when someone died, and in particular being nice and helpful to the little girl that lived there. I don't remember the particulars per se, but I was struck by your immediate willingness to help. e) Why do you put up with Marsha? f) Happycat is a classic (although I must admit, I like the shy one too) g) In return, you must post this in your LJ :)
a) Because I've known you on and off for, what, 13 years? b) Courtney Love. *ducks* c) I like that you've always been non-nonsense and haven't suffered foolishness very lightly. d) I remember you at an IRC party in Pacifica, shortly before someone tried to use a flaming shot to burn down my living room. e) What does Taia mean, anyway? f) Believe it or not, the "Kitty" one cracks me up every time. Poor kitty! g) In return, you must post this in your LJ
Very awesome. =) It must be 13 years now. Thanks for reminding me that I've been on IRC too long. ;) And Pacifica... I missed flaming shot by a few minutes. I got to see the blisters, though. Unfortunately, not much of that night remains in my memory; lots of sloppy drunk fragments of OttoPilot, though.
And the nick... Taia is an alternate (bastardized?) spelling of Queen Tiye, Akhenaten's mother; Tutankhamun's grandmother. EVERYONE knows and wants to use Isis, Cleopatra, Nefertiti as nicks. I just chose another.
Kitty is one of my oldest digital pictures. I took that one, borrowing my brother's Sony Mavica (3.5" floppy!) one afternoon back in like 2000. Cutest picture of Kitty I've got. =)
a) I've known you longer than I've known Ruth, even! I knew you back when we was in college, yo. b) FUD. c) You've pretty much always seemed intensely (and a little intimidatingly) solid in your convictions and knowledge. You're smart, but funny. You remind me of me, when I was younger. ;) d) For some reason, an internet "wedding" comes to mind. e) How'd you get into the fierce world of competitive dogs? f) I like the Bison pic the best -- it's like he's picketing something. g) In return, you must post this in your LJ
a) At the time, we lived in the same town, and I think Andrea talked you up a bit to me too. b) Pugs, and now Alameda! c) You own your vulnerabilities without shame, more than anyone I have ever known. Your self-discovery is amazing to watch, and I'm rooting you on. d) So many to choose from, but: you and I simultaneously cracking up the first time we watched Drinking Out Of Cups. :D e) I'll get back to you on that. f) Your latest B&W is fantastic. :) g) In return, you DID post this in your LJ. Good job!
