[collective huge sigh of relief for LJ being back]

[in_the_blue]

First, I got this from voxmaille:

I. Reply to this post, because I would like to say a couple of words about you.
II. I will also tell you what song reminds me of you when I hear it.
III. I will also tell you what celebrity/public person you remind me of, either personality-wise or looks-wise.
IV. I will also give ONE WORD that I associate with you when I think of you.
V. We all could use a boost now and then, so steal this for your journal and make someone else's day as well.

Let's see what happens because... just because I don't have enough other stuff to do. I'm not sure I'll make anyone's day, but I'll do my best.

What did everyone do during the LJ downtime? I wrote bios for some of my RP characters. I finished my beta reading. I was housebound because of a lovely ice storm that had all the roads closed. I watched football with Mitch and played with the cats. I braved the sheer sheet of ice that is the front path out of our house to go feed the stray cat who's been living in our garage since before Thanksgiving, and went and filled the bird feeders too. We've had a flock of Varied Thrushes hanging about all winter and they're very beautiful.

And now that LJ is back, it's one of those cases of "I can't live without you! Oh, you're back again, are you?" So I'm off to clean up and do a few things I've been wanting to do but didn't have the energy for lately. And seeing as how tomorrow is a holiday and we all have the day off before Mitch leaves for his two-week extravaganza... did I mention he's going to Majorca? Damn. Of all the places I don't get to go.

Mary Shelley came to mind for a few reasons. First, she was a woman doing things in a man's world when she wrote Frankenstein. She did it on a challenge, you know, and received the information for it from a dream she had. She also did things that men at the time said couldn't be done (a woman writing a compelling horror story).

So since you gave yourself the December writing challenge...

[erised1810.livejournal.com]

P{hugglesnuggle} your'e too kind.
to be very very honest, the gift fic challenge consisted of finishing a lot of wips (one of whichI started two years ago) and combining little snippets into fics. it gave me more soties-to-possibly-continue. adn it isn't all the unpublished stuffI have :).; i stil have one huge marauders-story that I should finally clean up further and show the world. I had SO!MUCH1FUN WRITING THAT-ONE. LOOK BACK IN MY LJ IF YOU'RE BORED SOME TIME. BACK IN JANUARY 2004 i WROTE ABOUT WHAT i WAS WRITING. THOSE WERE RALLY REALL YGOOD DAYS.
THE SIRIUS-WRITING DAYS IN MY LIFE HAVE BEEN GOOD IN GENERALL. i SHOD FINAL YGETTO POSTING ROUDNS OF SHOWIGN WHAT i GAVE THE OTHERS.
BUTHIS REALLY MADE M YDAY. ADN OF CORSE iHAVE FRANKENSTEIN OR ELSE i'D PROBABL YGO NUTS (/ECLECTIC DORK)

Tell Mitch to watch out for those whelks. I hear they can be a bit funny in Majorca.

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

Aye-aye. Is it vindictive pleasure that I have in knowing it's a working meeting and he won't have time to dip into the Mediterranean?

[h311ybean]

*replies to meme* ^_^

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

I. A couple of words for you: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!

II.What song reminds me of you when I hear it: Easy - Time After Time, Cyndi Lauper.

III. Your celebrity doppelganger: Nick Hexum is too obvious, so I pick Vivien Leigh. Fiddle-dee-dee! A complex person who could be mistaken for what she wasn't... but only once. Then they knew better.

IV. Your one word: Creative!

My turn!

[h311ybean]

I. A couple of words for you: diolch yn fawr :)

You probably don't know that much about me, but I'll bite. : Make my day!

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

Sure, give me the difficult task, o woman I know none too well! I'll be sure to return the favor. :) Let's see what we come up with here.

I. A couple of words about you: You were my second-ever reviewer for my very first piece at the Sugar Quill. I don't know if I ever said thank you for taking the time to review a new author but I say it now: thank you!

II. What song reminds me of you when I hear it: I don't know if it reminded me of you before, but it will now: Clannad, Sirius.

III. Your celebrity doppelganger: We must go with Arachne for the obvious weaving connection.

IV. Your one word: Biscuits. ("In the Kitchen" was the first thing of yours I ever read.)

Meme reply and comment

[sunny-daylee.livejournal.com]

Ah, pesky downtimes. I was all set with a post that night, but the dran LJ was down and I've forgotten it by now. Go fig.

Re: Meme reply and comment

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

The downtime put a crimp in my "I've posted every day for over a year!" thing. It's kind of a relief, though.

Here you go on the meme:

I. Without you, there would be no RP and no Bebop. I shudder to think of that!

II. What song reminds me of you when I hear it: Why, Cats on Mars, of course.

III. Your celebrity doppelganger: Anne Hathaway.

IV. Your one word: Kitties.

Re: Meme reply and comment

[sunny-daylee.livejournal.com]

(I have no Wocky picture anymore 'cause my account expired, but just go ahead and imagine the Gryffindor Cat picture here)

I. I have to tell you how thankful I am that you created Dogstar (though I'm not there anymore). You have no idea how much it helped with my writing and just how thankful I am for it.

II. The one song that reminds me of you: Tank, just 'cause Spike kicks major SpaceButt! and so do you.

III. Your celebrity clone...well, I'd just have to say that every time I see Annie Lenox (sp?) I think of you.

IV. Your one word: Green Paint (I know, that's two words)

Re: Meme reply and comment

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

Green paint - every time I go to work I think of you! Heh!

Re: Meme reply and comment

[sunny-daylee.livejournal.com]

Could it be that faceprint I put on your west wall? Screwed up the feng shui, but don't tell your friend that.

Hee

*points at post and replies*

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

I. A couple of words about you: Hey, youngster! I'm glad you friended my journal.

II. What song reminds me of you when I hear it: Sheryl Crow - Soak Up the Sun [dunno why, but there you have it]

III. Your celebrity doppelganger: [Ponder, ponder, this is hard for the people I don't know well! I give a disclaimer here, I can only go based on what I know about you, which isn't much, but I get the image of what I get from you from your LJ and your comments in mine.] Since you're so Anne-centric, I have to pick Megan Follows.

IV. Your one word: Seeking.

[proudofthefish.livejournal.com]

ice storm that had all the roads closed

We got our two new Arabian horses just before the ice storms hit here. Spent several days walking them around their new home (coral) to get them use to the fence, lay of the ground, etc. There is nothing more pathetic then watching a 30 something woman in big yellow Wellingtons try and walk on ice while leading a horse who is not sure of his footing either.

On that note let me see if I can think of some things to say on your account:

1. I'm replying

2. Fraser theme song. Your the only Pacific coast person I know! "Goodnight Seatle"

3. Mrs. Figg. Does she count? Could it be the Kneazles that keep showing up on your door?

4. Friendly...very. After all, I am a stranger to you, yet you take the time to include me in your life. Maybe friendly is not good enough a word...harmonious perhaps? Gracious?

5. I'll steal, but I'll bet you a pound of cat chow that your the only one who answers. :D

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

I'll answer you here.

I. A couple of words about you: You have been nothing but on my side. Thank you.

II. What song reminds me of you when I hear it: Crowded House - "Something So Strong"

III. Your celebrity doppelganger: I'll keep with the HP theme: Amelia Bones.

IV. Your one word: Supportive.

Re: Catches up on Friends List....

On Emoticons: *_* Are they really that weird? (*grin*)

On Misty: nyyoooooooo...kay. ;; (<-- sweatdrops) My best guy friend from several years ago swore up and down when we were in high school that I'm her.

Her, or Melfina.

;___; (<-- cries)


I. A couple of words about you: You seriously kick so much ass.

II. Song reminds me of you: I was just listening to it recently, but "Black Sun" by Dead Can Dance. It's only a couple of lines, really, (I can't understand what else he's saying in the song ;;; )

III. Celebrity: Spike? If I think about what I think when reading you, definitely, but um...

As far as image goes, here's a tidbit: the first time I saw your profile page, and the picture of you where all one can see is your hair, I didn't know it was you. I absolutely thought it was Neil Gaiman. ^^ (abbreviated anime smiley)

IV. One word: Awesome.

Re: Catches up on Friends List....

[lostinapapercup.livejournal.com]

Just butting in...

You people keep making me die.

When I first saw that picture, I thought she had such Neil Gaiman hair going on there.
