Date: 2003-11-11 09:33 pm (UTC)RossiBicycles! Because that's the name of the custom-frame bike shop down the street from my place in Montreal. And it's fitting. :)
2. Am I loveable?
Of course. Incredibly so.
3. How long have you known me?
Hum. At least three years, since that's when I was at Dexcon. Four years?
4. When and how did we first meet?
Online, in the 'cafe prolly. IRL, at Dexcon.
5. What was your first impression?
That I'd better stop boasting about how I don't have trouble with accents, because I hardly understood a single word you said when we were left in the lobby one time. *sheepish* Seriously, that you were very upbeat and friendly. And talkative, since I don't think you noticed I couldn't follow. *G*
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
Yes, and thankfully it's easier to communicate on the internet. ;) I also like you a bit better (not that I didn't then), which is strange because I don't really know you any better than I did before. I've just got a soft spot for Rossis (Rossies?), I guess.
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
Oh... Pass. I have no clue.
8. Do you think I'll get married?
Er... No? I don't think you're the marrying sort. A permanent companion is another story, though. :)
9. What makes me happy?
Phone calls from friends. Unexpected letters/packages. *Seeing* friends. Travelling. Karate? I'm guessing.
10. What makes me sad?
When no one replies to things like this? :)
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
None, really.
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
Nothing! I like my Rossi the way she is. Though perhaps I'd make that wanderlust lead her in my direction. :)
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
Yes, which is ironic considering I don't know you that well.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
Physically? Three years ago. Online, we traded a few emails last night/afternoon.
15. What makes me, me?
That's a tough question. I don't even think it can be answered, what makes a person who they are. But some unique Rossi qualities: the only public servant I know, the love of bicycles, the using of a Mac, the wanderlust, and the being just so darned huggable from halfway around the world. :)
16. Would you make a move on me?
Nah.
17. Describe me in one word.
Rossi. :)
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
Seeing we were never that close to begin with, and we rarely ever talk...
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
Yes, actually. Much to your horror, I'm sure. ;)
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
No, but I do think of you every time I see a travelling program. :)

Date: 2003-11-12 04:24 am (UTC)Groovy Soul Mama, because you are.
2. Am I loveable?
Yep. Hard to love, maybe, because you don't let a lot of people inside, but once you let them in...
3. How long have you known me?
Gyah. Since 1999 I think.
4. When and how did we first meet?
Online, somewhere. Probably #subcafe.
5. What was your first impression?
Ooooooh! Australian!
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
Yes, but there's so much more to you than that. ^_^
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
I think coffee and nuts, or maybe a deep woodsy fruity sherbert.
8. Do you think I'll get married?
Why not? And it's going to be to some faboo guy who supports all your endeavors and hobbies, shares some of them with you, and can keep up with you in all matters.
9. What makes me happy?
Being with friends, the satisfaction of physical exertion to a useful end, getting phone calls/packages from friends, feedback.
10. What makes me sad?
Being alone, thinking about things you could be doing if you weren't at PERIN.
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
All the songs on the Rossi CD you sent me, but I really dig "I Go Off" by Diana ah Naid right now.
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
That you're too far away from me to hug you often.
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
One of my best.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
The end of your Walkabout.
15. What makes me, me?
A fierce determination, a gentle heart, a kick-ass attitude.
16. Would you make a move on me?
I tried, I tried!
17. Describe me in one word.
Wonderful.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
Staying the same, but always strong.
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
Yep.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
Only when you post more than two times a day, to be frank.

Date: 2003-11-12 04:51 am (UTC)*grins* Rossi Quiz
Date: 2003-11-12 04:26 am (UTC)Well, the first, Roz. We're Australian, mate. Do we need a reason to drop letters and add others to a name? *grins*
And the second, RossiSis. Because if I had ever had an older sister, I would have wanted her to be just like you.
2. Am I loveable?
Of course. :) You just don't always know that you are.
3. How long have you known me? Forever? :) Maybe four years now? I knew you for awhile online before I met you in person.
4. When and how did we first meet? *grins* At DexCon in Canada. Which was always a point of amusement considering we both live in Australia. I think I met you in the hotel foyer...not entirely sure if you saw me first or I saw you.
5. What was your first impression?
Can't really remember, actually. Mostly just that it was very cool to finally meet you in person.
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
Why yes, I do still think it's very cool to meet you in person. *grins*
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
Hmm...nah, you don't want to be an ice cream flavour. You want to be chocolate, mate. Chocolate has all the fun. ;)
8. Do you think I'll get married?
I think if you want to get married, then one day you will.
9. What makes me happy?
Fresh Vegetables. :) Various other things.
10. What makes me sad?
Feeling like you're being taken for granted.
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
Street Cafe
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
If you changed anything, you wouldn't be you. I'd maybe show you how to like yourself a little more. But the fundamental you stuff, why would anyone want to change that?
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
Yup.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
Last long weekend. Was that last month? God, times flies.
15. What makes me, me?
You. *grins* There's just a Rossiness about you that doesn't fit well into words. It's the entire package of thoughts and emotions and you being you. No one else could be Rossi.
16. Would you make a move on me?
No.
17. Describe me in one word.
Friend.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
Staying the same, I'd say. We don't have as much time to talk as we used to but I know I could pick up the phone and talk to you and it'd be like no time has passed.
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
Dude, we have talked abou anything. *grins* For like, five hours even.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
Well, we do e-mail each other at work most days, so that'd be a yes. :)
no subject
Date: 2003-11-12 04:41 am (UTC)This is so not my department. Trix. I dunno. because you're blonde and socute. :D
2. Am I loveable?
Daily.
3. How long have you known me?
It must be three or four years now, yeh?
4. When and how did we first meet?
funnily enough, I think this might have been at the airport in toronto. was it? or was it at the bar? nooo. I think, the hotel lobby.
...do you remember? it's all a blur...
5. What was your first impression?
I think, if it was in the hotel, you were wearing pixie wings. I believe I was a little bit intimidated - simply because meeting new people is like that - and then I thought, "oh! pretty!"
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
certainly I still think you're pretty, though my impression is a *little* less shallow now.
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
For some reason, I think you'd be sweet cherries and cream frozen yogurt.
8. Do you think I'll get married?
I think that, in some ways, you're married to travel currently. is there room for another spouse in your life? sure. but travelling right now certainly has your vows. which isn't a bad thing.
9. What makes me happy?
Baths. clear skies. australian music. the whitlams, but only some songs, because some whitlams songs are to slit your wrists over. *grin* biking. hostels. pubbing. backrubs.
10. What makes me sad?
injustice. winter.
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
it's probably mel's fault, but the whitlams! also barenaked ladies, "when doves cry." also everything on that aussie music pusher's sample bag cd, which I don't know the names of because I don't have a track listing. *giggle*
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
this is selfish, but your location.
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
undoubtedly.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
it must have been last summer. No. Earlier than that. Jesus, a year ago? over a year ago.
has it really been that long?
15. What makes me, me?
this is a hard question! you're you because you're no one else. because you stand up to people, but not in that bad way. because you're always there for other people. you eat vegemite on toast and I bet you make great stir fry.
16. Would you make a move on me?
you mean I haven't already?
17. Describe me in one word.
scrumptious.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
we haven't talked much lately, and that sucks, so I guess it's staying the same?
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
without a doubt. you're one of the best listeners I know, and you always, always make a body feel like you actually care what someone's saying.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
I would have to say probably yes, though my mind is invariably blank lately. --*grin* just kidding. of course.
no subject
Date: 2003-11-12 06:04 am (UTC)Death Pixie. Because it's the first thing I saw when you shared your karate picture. The short haircut, impish grin made me think "How adorable" and then I saw the escrima sticks. Heh.
2. Am I loveable?
As in "cuddly loveable like a stuffed wombat", I don't know if I'd go that far. But as in able-to-be-loved, definitely.
3. How long have you known me?
Gosh, since... about '98? '99?
4. When and how did we first meet?
Online, through the Scratching Post MB, I think. Before you started on chat. IRL, Dexcon 3.
5. What was your first impression?
Online? "Who's this wacko who apparently runs a bike shop?" - because that's what your email address said.
IRL? "Good christ, she's got the wings, that HAS to be Rossi."
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
Nah, I know you don't run a bike shop. :)
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
Um... Rain Forest Crunch, because it's the most eco-friendly veggie-type thing I can think of?
8. Do you think I'll get married?
Australia's a liberal country, why not?
9. What makes me happy?
Feeling like you've worked for something and earned it, not just had it given to you. Physical exertion. A night at the pub after a long week of work. Friends nearby.
10. What makes me sad?
Red wine. A bed that's too big for one person.
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
"Tubthumping", Chumbawamba.
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
Location, location, location. Get you stateside and more conveniently accessible.
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
Indubitably.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
At the Mongolian BBQ, while you and the pregnant Yeti were on the walkabout. You'd grown your hair out (it was about a year ago, now) and it looked pretty good, I recall.
15. What makes me, me?
Tenacity.
16. Would you make a move on me?
What, like an armbar takedown? Sure.
(Watch Matt dodge the question like he's all One With The Matrix and shit.)
17. Describe me in one word.
Survivor.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
Stronger, actually.
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
Listen until you felt the need to thwack me for being repetitive, whiny, or annoying, sure.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
About 50% of the time, yeah.

Date: 2003-11-12 09:32 am (UTC)RossiJoRossiJoRossifuckitJO!
Because that's what I call you a lot.
2. Am I loveable?
Well, yes. Especially when you do little gloating dances.
3. How long have you known me?
Um. Known of you for a loooong time. In person so I actually cared (heh) almost 4 years.
4. When and how did we first meet?
December 99? Something like that. At the bus station at Stanley St. I was carrying The Bag Of Doom, and you were wearing, I think, a red dwarf t-shirt, and I was looking confused, and you came up and said "Mel?"
5. What was your first impression?
Oh thank christ someone's here to meet me. Also. Woo! Someone who drinks what I drink (at the time, strongbow white).
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
Oh, thank goodness there's Jo to talk to. Also, Woo! Redwine! So, really, quite remarkably similar.
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
Uuhm. I hate this kind of question. Possibly pistachio because looking at you in general and vaguely, one wouldn't think that you would be green, but you are.
8. Do you think I'll get married?
Why would you wanna go and ruin a life happily lived in sin that way?
9. What makes me happy?
Doing things. Doing things a lot. Like. Seeing music happen, going to the pub, climbing things (that's something that makes you crazy happy), talking to people (that's a big one) seeing movies, doing karate practise, dancing, riding, stuff. Even if that thing is curling up with a good book. You're the most doing things person I know.
10. What makes me sad?
Mostly yourself. You big silly.
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
That goddamned sunshine song. Goddamnit.
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
Possibly your location. Or your hair colour. Heh heh heh. Other than that, the stuff that I think isn't right about you, you gotta change yourself.
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
Dude. I love you maaaaate.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
Aaah. I was in Melbourne on... um. 17th September? Is that the day I left?
15. What makes me, me?
Oh dear gods, don't make me think! Um. I hate you for this, by the by. YOu are you because you are all. Thinky and you are ... Okay, you're you because you cheer me up by being you. So ner.
16. Would you make a move on me?
Hee hee hee.
Well. If only there were a tingle. *giggles*
17. Describe me in one word.
inimitable
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
This is actually a surprisingly difficult question. I"ve moved away, so it's harder, but then, we've talked so much in the bit before I moved, and. I say more or less the same with added phone bills.
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
You have, so yes. You even listen to me talk about boybands, yo.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
Easily.
no subject
Date: 2003-11-12 10:13 am (UTC)Joannium. Like an element, because while you express yourself in many different ways and behave slightly differently depending on the other "elements" you are with, you are always quintessentially you.
2. Am I loveable?
Yes. In your own way you are loveable even during the times when I most wanted to strangle you. :)
3. How long have you known me?
Known you? Since the walkabout. Known of you? I have read some of your writing before I got into fanfic, thanks to Dex. So maybe 5 or so years.
4. When and how did we first meet?
Dexcon4
5. What was your first impression?
I think you know the answer to this.
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
No, but I honestly couldn't answer yes to that question concerning anyone. If you don't change your opinions of people as you get to know them, you either are really lucking in your first opinion or very blind.
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
Rocky Road. Why? Grim Irony?
8. Do you think I'll get married?
I think you could if you made it a priority in your life, otherwise I doubt it.
9. What makes me happy?
Doing things you are good at, reminders of how much we all love you and taking time for yourself with out feeling guilty about it.
10. What makes me sad?
Thinking you have missed out on something, feeling you failed or let someone down.
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
"Nobody's Heart", by The Elders are Listening 2
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
I can't change you, and I don't think it's up to me to judge you either. You are Rossi and I will always respect that. Sure there are things that would make it easier for me to relate to you, but that is just as much me as it is you, so I can't answer this question, if that makes sense.
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
No. While I consider you a friend, I don't have a good friend I haven't known for less than 10 years, so if you lived in Canada and I had known you for a while, then it would be a possibility. It would take a number of heart to heart's and I would like it to happen, but not at this moment.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
Last November.
15. What makes me, me?
Ummm... You make you, you.
16. Would you make a move on me?
Again?
17. Describe me in one word.
Growing
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
I would say there is less illusion between us and perhaps as we deal with what we learned we grow stronger friends. But that is just my side of the question.
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
Yes. I trust you to be discreet and honest.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
I would say yes, most of the time.

Date: 2003-11-12 10:43 am (UTC)The Lone Aussie -- because while I've met Aussie's before, you've been the only one I've met that was solo. Aussie's travel in packs, or so I've understood.
2. Am I loveable?
I think so. Was I drunk when I met you or drunk on myself?
3. How long have you known me?
I have no idea -- I know you wrote to me once about a round robin in 2000...but I heard of you before then.
4. When and how did we first meet?
We met at a karaoke bar last September/October/November. I was in my black robe with pink trim.
5. What was your first impression?
"Just one?"
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
I know that next time, you'll bring the others.
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
You'd be an earthy crunch -- vanilla with granola. Because you're earthy.
8. Do you think I'll get married?
Marriage for everyone!
9. What makes me happy?
I don't know, but whatever the answer, it should be me.
10. What makes me sad?
...the kicking of puppies?
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
I didn't think I had one, and this worries me, but I saw that question, thought of you, and REM's "End of the World" popped up. Explain yourself and you hidden weapons of mass destruction.
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
Hemisphere.
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
I adore Aussies and I wish I knew you all better.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
Last S/O/N. I don't remember which month it was.
15. What makes me, me?
I know you're earthy. And you said you'd make me a CD of...I forget. Was it OMD? No, Crowded House! And I'll take you up on that offer if it's still on the table...
16. Would you make a move on me?
Strictly dickly over here.
17. Describe me in one word.
Again, earthy.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
Seeing as I have gone from "knowing of you" to "meeting you"...we've gotten better.
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
You'd probably glaze over after a while. Most do. No worries.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
I read my livejournal friendslist a few times a day, so I do by default.
no subject
Date: 2003-11-12 04:15 pm (UTC)Rossiwithgravy. Because gravy is -never- not funny.
2. Am I loveable?
Probably. :) Everyone is capable of being loved - I just don't know you personally well enough to say if you are loveable by ME.
3. How long have you known me?
Known of you? Since.. 1999? Known you in person, since.. Dexcon 3, I believe. Known you as someone I activly would seek conversation with - since two Dexcon's ago.
4. When and how did we first meet?
I think it was Dexcon 3, but I am not sure. The Dexcons kind of blur together now.
5. What was your first impression?
Oh my god, its Sandy Duncan, only bad-ass.
No, really, that's pretty much what I thought. :)
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
Well, I still think you kind of look like Sandy Duncan, but I'm American and insane, so that can probably be discounted.
As for bad-ass - you bicycle many places. That qualifies in my book as bad-ass. :)
Also, you dressed up as Trinity for Halloween, and that's always awesome.
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
Red Bean Icecream, with little granola-and-brown sugar crunchies. (Its really good, actually.) Not overwhemling sweet, a little unusual, espicially from my perspective as an American, and healther than average.
8. Do you think I'll get married?
I have no idea. ;) I'd say yes, to Phil, after a drunken bender where you both end up in Vegas, but you'd hit me with sticks.
9. What makes me happy?
Beating on my roommate with sticks? Being social. A good vegetarian curry.
10. What makes me sad?
Lack of companionship. The casual disregard many people have for the rest of the world. Keanu Reeves playing John Constantine.
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
Ooh. I may have to think on that one.
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
Does the travel distance and cost between here and Australia count? Because, well, you live too far away.
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
A friend, yes. I'm not sure 10 hours in a car qualifies for 'good' though. :(
14. When's the last time you saw me?
At the Mongolian BBQ place when you and Gerg were on walkabout.
15. What makes me, me?
A lot of things. Bicycling. Writing Constantine well. Giving me the best joke about American food -ever-. Just being you, I guess. It's not something that's easy to put a finger on.
16. Would you make a move on me?
If I were single, and you weren't straight? Probably. But, alas, I am not single, and you are straight, so it shall never come to pass.
17. Describe me in one word.
Tough.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
Staying the same, I think. I'm a really bad judge of that sort of thing.
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
You listened to me babble for 10 hours in a car. Okay, admittedly, some of that was also Nute babble, but hey. ;) I think you're a good listener.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
Twice a week, probably. One of the great joys of Livejournal. Twice a day, I'm not so sure.

Date: 2003-11-12 10:05 pm (UTC)Oh man. Boots, because every time I see Rossi boots, I think of you.
2. Am I loveable?
Yes.
3. How long have you known me?
About a year and a half, now. Since GASP in Wodonga.
4. When and how did we first meet?
Online? A bit before that, in chat at some god-awful hour of the morning.
5. What was your first impression?
I don't remember my first online impression. My first imperson one? I think it went along the lines of 'oh fuck I hope she's as nice as she's *seemed* so far because otherwise I'm fucked and I don't actually know *any* of these people very well and maybe Mum's warnings about going to stay at the house of people I don't know' *long pause* 'Oh dear fuck, she's going to go apeshit over the chicken, isn't she?'
6. Do you still think that way about me now?
No. Now, I think of you as someone cool to hang around with, and as a good friend.
7. If I was an ice cream flavor, which would I be and why?
Green tea. I've got no idea why, but it reminds me of you.
8. Do you think I'll get married?
I don't know. I really don't know.
9. What makes me happy?
Friends, being out doing things, getting to see people you haven't seen for a long time, being on the recieving end of random bits of niceness. Escrima.
10. What makes me sad?
Thinking you've been forgotten about.
11. What song (if any) reminds you of me?
My Friend the Chocolate Cake - I've got a plan.
12. If you could change one thing about me, what would it be?
The insecurity.
13. Do you consider me a good friend?
Yes.
14. When's the last time you saw me?
*grins* Lunchtime.
15. What makes me, me?
Um. It's partly the way you move, the hair, and the fact that there's a real sense of confidence to your movements, even if *you* aren't always that confident.
It's also the little personality things - the gloaty dance, drinking beer in the pub, The Whitlams, ...stuff, really. It's hard to say, since you're a collection of so many little things, all rolled into one. It's really hard to say, i'm afraid.
16. Would you make a move on me?
Um. I don't think so. I value as a friend, and I wouldn't want to mess that up, when I know for a fact that you'd never be interested. So, no, I owuldn't.
17. Describe me in one word.
Strong.
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?
I think a little stronger, but I wouldn't know. I think I know you better now, and I do trust you more.
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?
Yes.
20. Do I cross your mind at least 2 times a day?
*grins* Some days. Some days, not, because I'm busy or frantic about exams or stressed or whatever.
