lumy12I have to do this meme since I kinda accidentally commented on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fialleril's post ^_^ and you know I can't upset the Meme Gods. Comment away!
Leave me a comment and
1. I'll tell you why I added you to my flist.
2. I'll tell you what I most associate with you.
3. I'll tell you what I like about you.
4. I'll state a favorite memory of you. ((whoops, I left the "newbie" part in here when I copied this - ha! I don't think 3+ years of LJness is that much of a newbie. Be careful when you copy/paste, yo!))
5. I will tell you about a character or a pairing that is similar to you.
6. I'll ask you a question about you that I've always wanted to know.(or that I just pull out of my ass, really)
7. I'll tell you which of your user pics I like the best.
8. In return, post this meme on your journal.
I reserve the right to give you answers that suck.
And I'll be slow (heh, no one's responding yet anyway) because my bro's here and we're getting pizza and stuff. Whee pizza! He usually works Saturdays but he's off tonight, yay! (He really should have told me so I didn't go wake him up earlier. Ha!)

Date: 2008-05-04 04:35 pm (UTC)1) I believe I added you in the mass adding of omg!ls peeps. Er - "mass" meaning 5 or 6, probably :)
2) Siri Tachi.
3) You're sweet and fun and something about you makes me feel protective like you're a little sister of sorts. But maybe I just have issues. Heh.
4) That one AIM convo we had a couple months ago when you told me stuff I didn't know and it made me feel a little better about my own stupid whining. (heh, if you can remember that without me revealing any more details!!)
5) Siri Tachi! Hehe, honestly I don't have a good reason for this, except that I knew nothing about Siri when I started playing (I still don't know that much, canonically) but you seemed passionate about her and now I just link the two of you in my head :)
6) We have several fandoms in common, but I know you have others I'm not into. Of those (the ones I'm not into), which is your current favorite and what makes it awesome?
7)
This one just made me LOL. I WAS SO PISSED OFF THAT THIS GOT SPOILED FOR ME. Seriously, people need to NOT be posting with spoilery icons the weekend something comes out. Using them to comment on a post containing spoilers is okay, because the person who wishes to not be spoiled should know to stay away from that, but posting it where it shows up on your f-list is not cool. Anyway, I learned my lesson for Book 7!
no subject
Date: 2008-05-04 08:29 pm (UTC)4 - Yeah, I remember that one. That was a good convo.
6 - As of right now, Supernatural. I love the show to little pieces. It's such an ensemble show, as every little person in it make it better, you know? Plus the fandom itself, while often wanky, has some AMAZING contributors, which makes it fun to be a part of. Also? Another fandom that inspired me to write fic? Must be a good one.
7 - I KNOW, RIGHT?! The same thing happened to me, which is why I snatched that icon up when I found it. I don't often use it, but it does make me laugh.

Date: 2008-05-04 04:56 pm (UTC)1) I actually don't remember the conversation that led up to it, but I remember asking if I could add you because I was sure we'd get along great. Famous last words!
2) Probably our mutual dislike of Dormekin. *snicker*
3) You selflessly put aside your queasiness and wrote me the BEST CHRISTMAS FIC EVAR!
Even though you later guilt tripped me about it. LOL - Queen of Guilt Trips!You put up with my whining on a regular basis. You share in the Hayden/Anakin love. You don't think I'm a freak (okay maybe you do but you pretend not to, heee!)4) See the first part of #3! The whole build up to that was just awesome. The way you completely misled me for like 2 months prior, and then made me wait all during the posting period to just about the very end. Such sweet foreplay that was. LOL
5) I'll say Anakin, as you seem to have his fiery passionate temper. But you're not really whiny, so it's not a perfect fit. And I've never seen you, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're probably not as hot as he is either ;)
6) Did you go to college/graduate/get a degree (in what?)?
(kinda cheating on that I guess but hey, you're cheating by not reposting this meme. So we're even!)
7)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I knew I wanted this one so I thankfully was able to skim over the icky A/O ones quickly to get to it!

Date: 2008-05-05 03:23 am (UTC)Did you go to college/graduate/get a degree (in what?)?
Several times in fact! I first went to Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, right out of high school. I was a journalism major. I'll spare you the details, but I wasn't happy with that, changed majors several times (SHOULD have stayed with the History major since history has always been my first love!) and eventually didn't finish.
I lived in Iowa for 6 years before moving back home to New York. Eventually, I went to Mercy College and finished up a bachelors degree in accounting with an emphasis in tax (believe it or not!). I worked for a number of years at a sugar refinery after that as a Raw Sugar Clerk, which involved a lot of accounting FUNCTIONS, but for which they REFUSED to give me the title of Raw Sugar ACCOUNTANT, even after that person LEFT the job and a lot of his work moved down to my desk. Again, I'll spare you the details, but things came to a head, I got annoyed, and left for a REAL accounting position with an internet start up company. They failed in under a year, and I took my current job with the law firm as an administrative assistant.
Didn't expect to stay there long at all, maybe a year since I didn't want to have two short term jobs on my resume. I ended up falling completely in LOVE with what I'm doing (despite the crazy firm owner!).
I decided I wanted to understand some of what I was doing at the law firm better, so I enrolled in the paralegal program at Westchester Community College and got an Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies, and was the Curriculum Award winner for having a perfect 4.0 (pats self on back!).
One reason for the paralegal degree was to see if I have the aptitude for law, since I'm NOW considering law school. Did you know that??
Oh you're bad! In Wendy-land, you're only allowed to not re-post if the OP gives you express permission not to! Shame on you! :P
Well, you did say I'm like Anakin, and he IS a bit of a rebel, marrying despite the rules against it and all that!
The whole build up to that was just awesome. The way you completely misled me for like 2 months prior, and then made me wait all during the posting period to just about the very end. Such sweet foreplay that was. LOL
Not sure how to feel about you discussing ME and foreplay in the same comment! LOL. But yeah, you have NO IDEA how hard it was to not whine to you about how much trouble I was having writing my mistletoe fic AFTER both the Dormekins had been posted since I'd told you I was writing one of those!!! I'm soooo glad you enjoyed your gift too! :)
And I've never seen you, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're probably not as hot as he is either ;)
Nor as tall!!

Date: 2008-05-04 05:24 pm (UTC)2) Lucius Malfoy. I can't see him without thinking of you anymore!
3) Your endearing fangirly obsessiveness, and your appreciation/response to my comments (even if I don't always have something intelligent to say!)
4) Mutual fangirly squeeing on AIM when we were both... um... a bit hot'n'bothered. *snicker*
5) I'm gonna go with Hermione, for your brains and your passion - but it can be AU!Hermione so you don't have to end up with Ron ;)
6) I know you don't read fanfiction, but I don't know why. Did you used to and something turned you off of it, or is there another reason? Spill!
7)
I do love me some broody!Anakin. I just want to hug'n'pet'n'comfort him in this icon.
no subject
Date: 2008-05-04 07:46 pm (UTC)2) *lol* I knew you were going to say that :D
3) I always appreciate your comments.
4) Hot'n'bothered is good :D
5) I'm trying hard to see this as a compliment *LOL* So I'm going with AU!Hermione who not only didn't hook up with Ron, but also wasn't that annoying, did not fight for elf-rights but got one of her own instead, or had to cram for weeks to achieve top grades ;)(I really can't stand Hermione *g*)
6) There is no way that I'll answer this questions and you won't be pissed off at me. Everyone who ever asked me that question and got an answer (and you know I have this compulsion to be honest) was majorly pissed off at me afterwards.
7) I never knew you liked that icon! To be honest, I mostly forget about it. I will use it more often in your honour now! :D

Date: 2008-05-04 05:56 pm (UTC)My bug guy was just asking me yesterday if I ever had scorpions here. I told him no, but I did when I lived at 19th/T-bird. Did you know most cats are immune to scorpion venom? I wish I'd known that when I lived at that apartment, I wouldn't have freaked out about Pants' & Bailey's fascination with them! (yes, I used to only have 2 cats!)
1) Cuz you're Becca's mom! I think I met you before you started your LJ though? Yeah? So I already knew you were cool enough to add. I think.
2) Oddly enough - Wendy from Peter Pan!
3) You're warm, positive, fun-loving, and the definition of young at heart!
4) I have lots of nice memories since I know you IRL! Watching Firefly... oh, I'll go with that tree trimming party at your house, that was pretty fun. What were we drinking? Eggnog with rum or something? YUM. I'm gonna cheat and say another one, though - I'm still amused remembering how I had to let Becca call you during our SW marathon that one time, because you weren't sure if I was a psycho back then. LOL Now you know that I AMMMMMM!
5) Yoda! For you are... well, okay, you're not short and wrinkly and green. And you're nowhere near as old, either. But you're wise and we "younglings" seek your counsel!
6) What made you move down here to
TatooineArizona?7)
I love your kitty ones, of course, but this one is just too funny.

2) Aoi or Nao (but don't ask me to tell them apart. lol - I know, I know, I've offended your fangirly senses now with that comment!)
3) You're fun and YOU MADE ME ICONS and you're delightfully fangirly!
4) We haven't known each other long, but that kinda makes this question easier! Having a laugh at Nam's expense. That's always fun! (heeee, poor Nam)
5) Tigger, because you seem quite bouncy to me! LOL
6) How did you meet Neesha and how long have you guys been BFFs? (or close enough to BFFs)
7)
I have a soft spot for NOM NOM icons!

Date: 2008-05-04 06:41 pm (UTC)1) I could see how passionate you were about Star Wars! And your fic lured me in, so I friended you with
2) I have a corny answer and just a... sort of bizarre answer - I'll go with the bizarre one: "Petals" by Hole. I'm still loving this song and you're to blame!
3) What's not to like? You're so open-minded and enthusiastic and sweet and generous and you let me turn you to the Dark Side of Palpakin love. BWAHAHAHAHA!
4) That weekend when you read and COMMENTED on every single fic of mine ever posted. Seriously, that made me feel so good, I can't even tell you! You rock!
5) Someone from Lost comes to mind, but I don't know how far you've gotten in that and I refuse to spoil anything for you. I'll go with a pairing for you - Anakin/Padme. I really feel like the anti-A/P-ers could read your stuff and find themselves converted! (hopefully YOU have a better ending than they do though :\ heh)
6) The one I want to ask is a bit too personal for this meme... I'll have to ask you on AIM some time when I'm thinking of it. How about a fandomy question: WHEN ARE YOU GONNA FINISH THAT P/P FIC YOU TAUNT ME WITH? (actually, there are TWO P/Ps. This could count for either of them!)
7)
Heeeee! That's awesome! I also, of course, love your Ani/Palpy ones, some of which we have in common so I excluded those when choosing an icon for this answer.

3) Your analness! Seriously, making a chart to figure out how prompts were assigned = WIN. And you're such a good commenter - I'm a sucker for a good commenter! It's also funny how easily you get perturbed about female things.
Like the fact that I'm sitting here in my underwear right now. HAHAHAHAHA4) Your little comment war with
5) Thomas Andrews (from Titanic). ^_^
6) Why did you choose Machi for TM?
7)
I have no idea who they are but the icon is cute!

3) Your love for the underappreciated characters! And you write so beautifully about them I can easily turn your fic into my personal fanon. I also love that it's YOUR FRIKKIN' BIRTHDAY and you just made a request post! How awesome! Speaking of birthdays, your icon post for MY birthday was also made of win.
4) The back-and-forth that one week, like you said in your answer :) Alas, I can't promise to ever be able to do that again, thanks to work making me too scared to venture onto the internets there now!
5) Your opposition to violence/war and your passion for redemption makes me think Luke Skywalker is a good fit for you. But without the whininess :)
6) What do you hope to do when you're done with school? (I feel like I should know this already but I fail!)
7)
I could have chosen an Anakin one, but this one is just so you. I love your Kitster obsession!

3) You're a spaz! You're sweet and fun and you let me taunt you with shiny Mace icons!
4) Yeah, the Nam/cookie thing was pretty hilarious. Poor Nammy-Nam.
5) Artoo! Adorable, with attitude! ;)
6) Um... why thighs? (I hope you don't answer that in the Gazette meme that I still have to read. Remind me! I wanted to watch that video too but I keep forgetting to do so when I'm not like... watching a ballgame or multitasking)
7)
We already discussed this in the other meme! Hee!

Date: 2008-05-06 01:20 am (UTC)1) Amber told me to!
2) Computer geekery? Heh, I wish you were Friday when my desktop decided to blow up and I didn't know what to do to it besides a "recovery" - which should be called something else because it FUCKING ERASED EVERYTHING. (yes it told me it was going to, but still - I didn't know how else to fix it! Bwah) Ahem. Anyway. Yeah, you're a computer nerd, yayz.
3) You're adorably sweet! Esp. the way you spoil Amber! And you let me stay in your house for 2 weeks and you took all that time off work and everything. So awesome!
4) Can I just say the whole trip? Or is that cheating cuz it's all Ambery too? Puking in your toilet was fun. Hee!
5) Ferus Olin. But only Amber's version (I don't really know the canon version anyway) - because she models him after you. Which apparently means you DO like buttsex! You're just in denial!
6) When are you guys gonna come visit me on Tatooine?
7)
Dilbert FTW!
