Interesting! I've also read them all except for Making Money (still haven't gotten round to it) and the Science ones. The illustrated ones are great! I love Nanny Ogg's Cookbook and The Last Hero is pure awesome (and now available in bookshop in a smaller and supercheap version, hah.)
1. I friended you at the Westeros Friending Meme. I already thought you were kind of endearing in your sorting app and when you asked me about the Greek Gods, I went "Yeah, I'd like to friend this guy". 2. Colin Firth, Mr Darcy and Elizabeth, Harry the Heir, Sweden and Neil Patrick Harris. 3. You're a really sweet kid! And you like the Netherlands and I like Sweden so that fits XD Aww, I don't know, you have this je ne sais quoi. 4. When we talked about Astrid Lindgren and the Brothers Lionheart. And just generally when we talk about Greek Myth or Mr Darcy XD 5. I'm not sure, I think you have a boyfriend? (Am I making this up?) Tell me what you like about him, or if you don't, what you'd like in your ideal guy. 6.
( ... )
Nah I don't have a boy friend, you're probably thinking about Wilhelm, which is just a crush.
As for my ideal guy... Mr Darcy :p just kidding. I always seem to like guys who're rather similar to me, but who're more confident, impulsive, and extrovert so I guess that's it. We'd need to have the same humour, and a few common intrests at least. I also prefer cute guys rather than studs. Since it's my ideal guy he'd have to want family and kids too.
I love how you call me kid when I'm only one year younger than you :P
1. I think it was because you seemed really mature in fanmoot and because you liked Cat and so many other characters people didn't talk about. Also, you make pretty drawings. I suppose I'm glad I friended you early on when you had like one person on your LJ, you probably wouldn't have friended me if you had so many awesome people on your LJ like you have now. :P 2. Cat, that odd tennis dude, hufflepuff, Ran's board (sorry XD) and America (don't ask about that one) 3. The lucid and insightful way you talk about life. Your humor. And the fact that you made me more aware of certain issues in life. 4. Okay, I have a lot of memories of you (including that asoiaf character/Greek Gods post) but the one that is really random was the time you talked about some chapters in jaimexbrienne and you said this:
Okay, up front. I looooooooooooooooooooooove the White Book scene. Love. I lobster love it. With big happy clappy claws, oh just *cling*Not only did I totally agree, the way you wrote it made me laugh really hard. I love you and your quirky writing
( ... )
1. I WOULD TOTALLY WANT TO FRIEND YOU NAO D: If I didn't have you friended I'd probably just girlcrush on you from afar and go *sigh* lots :P
2. Hahah, Ran's, oh thats okay XD
4. LOL, well lobster love I guess is an allusion to that show Friends so I guess that lessens the cool factor, but I suppose no one needs to know >.>
5. It doesn't bother me but there's no way it hasn't affected my life in a very definitive way. Growing up you don't really belong in either group, but then again you at least partly belong in both, it's just a unique experience I think. I was a kid in the 90's and in the 90's, especially early 90's, everything was about how everyone is a special unique snowflake and we all deserve blue ribbons for all our -isms and stuff XD so that's a big difference than if I had been growing up in an earlier time period. But I think it led to my sensitivity to things like exoticization and otherification, things like token minority and model minority status. I remember in college I was at one point deathly afraid that
( ... )
4. Oh LOL. I kinda like Friends but I've only seen five episodes so I didn't know.
5. This so reminds me of Captain Planet. Hmm, hmm, I can see that. I mean, I think I was too late for the period of minorities-are-kewl, but I could see it in the cartoons I saw (they played reruns way after these cartoons were made) and the criticism people had on the superficial "tolerant" attitude a lot of Dutch people had.

Mwahahaha... ha? If you ever want recs, just poke me or something. >:D
I looooove the Arthurian and Greek Myth icons. Hahaha. Shakespeare ones rule, too. He DOES hate your emo poetry.
I like that your LJ layout has a R&J theme to it, btw.

Muchas gracias! :D
Hee, I love how the painting was based on the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet. I love that movie so much. R&J haters to the left!

Seriously. :D I had such a crush on Benvolio when I was 14. >:D
That painting is so pretty!

The 1968 movie version? He was so pretty. (But Benvolio is cool in general. I just love Mercutio and his awesomeness even more)

You don't like chickpeas? I'm not a big veggie/legume/whatever person in general, but I like chickpeas OK, and hummus, of course.
And, heh, I'll play the meme again, if you don't mind.

He's all yours, babe. XD
:DDD *squishes him tight* LOL, thank you! and for all the other awesome things you associate me with!
And the historical characters we've sorted into asoiaf houses.
Oh, yes, that time! That's still probably my favorite westerosorting thread of all time!
5. How did you get into Terry Pratchett? Or Greek Myth. Either is fine.I'll answer both ( ... )
