In an effort to stay awake...

[deathpixie]

One of those memes that people like since it's hearing stuff about themselves. *grins* Gakked from at least a third of my friendslist.

The rules
1. Reply and I’ll write something about you.
2. I will then tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I will say something that only makes sense to you and me.
4. I will tell you my first memory of you.
5. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
6. I’ll then tell you something that I’ve always wondered about you.
7. Post this in your own journal. (If you so wish.)

Been at work nearly four hours already. Wow, that actually has gone quite quickly. But getting up at 5am still sucks monkey balls. I think the nights are much better to deal with. Still, only two at a time.

Oh, and I realised. I'm working Friday and Saturday (penalty rates for Saturday) and then nights Sunday and Monday. With Monday being a public holiday, so penalty rates for the entire first night shift. That's 12 hours of Sunday rates, plus another 7 on the Monday. Looks like I'll have the visa paid off next pay with that lot coming through...

*snickers* My downstairs neighbour knocked on the door yesterday to tell me they were having a party Sunday night so as to not disturb me. Which was nice of him. He was a little startled when I said it'd be fine as long as they were done by 6am since that's when I get home and promptly pass out. ;)

Comments

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

Ohh, me me!

[deathpixie]

1. Something... You have a big personality, which means meeting you in person was a surprise since you were so little.

2. Song/movie... "She's Rare" - Paul Kelly.

3. In joke... Wodonga accent!

4. First memory... Establishing that Indi was a different person from Indy online. And the fact Tap could use your ID at Dexcon, if you want IP memories. ;)

5. Animal... A ring-tailed possum, which is far cuter than the Northern 'Sphere possums and they run around a lot and are equal parts shy and bold. And cute.

6. Wondered... How did you stumble onto Subreality and the message boards? Since that's where I know you from.

[philf.livejournal.com]

In joke... Wodonga accent!
Not so in-jokey - I know that one as well ;)

[deathpixie]

Well, you know all my in-jokes. Comes of those ungodly long pub sessions. ;)

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

I stumbled onto Subreality through fanfic. They mentioned this board that they posted to (I've got no idea who it was now) and I was all "Hmm, might as well check it out." And then promptly got hooked. XD

All rightie then.

[redhawk.livejournal.com]

Hit me.

Redhawk

Re: All rightie then.

[deathpixie]

1. Something... You've changed a lot from the person I saw on the Scratching Post and Rant and Rave boards. I like this Redhawk much more. ;)

2. Song/movie... "Would You Be My Friend" - Paul Kelly. Dunno what's with the brain stuck on Paul right now...

3. In joke... WCDR - you got the last letter wrong in yours. *grins*

4. First memory... The hotel lobby at Dexcon. Cue the obligatory 'my God, he's HUGE' remarks. That and 'Thank God we've got people where they're supposed to be' - it was that sort of day for me. ;)

5. Animal... A bear. Probably a grizzly. *grins* Can be very growly and grumpy, but also rather sweet.

6. Wondered... If comfort/expense/etc wasn't a factor, where would you most like to travel in the world.

Re: All rightie then.

[redhawk.livejournal.com]

Don't know the song, but this does not surprise me in the slightest.

Where would I go if cash and comfort wasn't an issue? Shit, I'd go _everywhere_. World tour time!

But assuming that I had to limit it?

*ponders*

I only speak English, so that lops a WHOLE LOT OF THE WORLD out right there. I don't want to be Idiot Tourist Boy.

The UK or Oz sound good to me. :)

:: pings on meme ::

And your neigbour must indeed have blinked at that hour limit. ;)

[deathpixie]

*grins* I think my neighbours are getting used to seeing me leaving/returning at weird hours. I have to go past their front door on my way in/out.

***


1. Something... You and Alison are forever inextricably entwined in my head.

2. Song/movie... "Tiny Star" by Matt Banks. Since you loved it so much and I love to pimp obscure music. ;)

3. In joke... Uff, nothing springs to mind... Attack of the killer plot bunnies that ended up swallowing Illyana/Lauren too?

4. First memory... That first log with Amanda and Alison. It's all in the timing.

5. Animal... Really don't want to repeat what everyone else has said, but cat. There's a lot that's cat-like about you.

6. Wondered... What got you into tai chi? I don't think I've asked.

[meallanmouse.livejournal.com]

5. Actually, I think you were the first to say cat, specifically. Thought someone else did later on.

6. I've always wanted to do a Martial Art, but had to find something that was no contact because of my arm being in such bad shape - which meant Aikido, the first choice, was right out. And then RW pointing out a place to me, us walking through the door and me falling in love with it the second afterwards.

[icewing.livejournal.com]

Anything to help you stay awake ;)

[deathpixie]

*grins* Well, a tad delayed, bit still in the cause of keeping me awake, so yay! ;)

1. Something... You have the rare gift of making people feel instantly comfortable, even when they turn up on your doorstep out of the blue and stressed. ;)

2. Song/movie... The Moulin Rouge soundtrack, since I remember copying it onto tape for you for your car once....

3. In joke... Oberon's friend the black belt.

4. First memory... *hrms* Calling you IceBloke from the very start in chat, I think...

5. Animal... Another bear-person, but a polar bear this time, a good-tempered happy one.

6. Wondered... Why law?

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

Please can you do me but you are NOT ALLOWED to do the sunshine song. So ner.

[deathpixie]

*grins* I don't even have to mention the Song now - you do that all by yourself. ;)

1. Something... You rock.

2. Song/movie... "Let Me Be Your Dirty Fucking Whore" - MGF.

3. In joke... Is there one we haven't shared with everyone else? Um... You Am I and why the ex is especially a bastard. ;)

4. First memory... Spencer St Station, the Skybus and perfect timing. Recognising someone I'd never seen before and had no description of or talked to much online before. ;)

5. Animal... I think I'm going to agree with Matt's panda here. *grins*

6. Wondered... Who would be the other's best Travelling Companion in the old-fashioned sense of the word? Me for you or you for me? ;)

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

In the old fashioned sense, I think you'd make the better companion, than I because you would be good to go out and make arrangements happen and be all organised, while I be all lady-like and feeble.

On the other hand, now-days, I would be able to make you enjoy some of the travel more, and am pretty good at being company. ;)

[deathpixie]

No developing consumption on me tho'. ;)

[nute.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'm game.

[deathpixie]

1. Something... We get on best when I remember not to let you press my buttons. Sometimes I forget. And you do it so very well.

2. Song/movie... "The Last Boy Scout" - there's something very Bruce Willis about you, to me.

3. In joke... You already used the Spank one... "The man has no nerve endings!"

4. First memory... *snickers* I remember meeting you and thinking "Okay, not so much of an arsehole as I thought he was..."

5. Animal... I'd say pit-bull, but you aren't blindly loyal like I find most dogs. Probably a badger - can be bad-tempered and scary, but also has its own charm.

6. Wondered... If Seraph can't get to the States, would you ever consider emigrating yourself?

[nute.livejournal.com]

6: Probably, yeah. But she can, so there.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

*flails about madly* Me! Ooh ooh! ME!

.. I feel like being back in grade school trying to get the teacher to let me answer questions.

[deathpixie]

1. Something... See, with your reply I have this image of you in pigtails and a school uniform, waving your hand desperately in the air to answer a question... It's definitely too early.

2. Song/movie... War Games - computer geeks saving the world!

3. In joke... Can't go past Salad! With Gravy! And management lobotomies.

4. First memory... See, I know I met you in the hotel lobby at Dexcon, since that's how I met all the ficcers I know, just about. But yeah, remembering this strange person telling me I looked like Sandy Duncan and me going "Who?" And then being amused it's the Peter Pan actress since my Mum remmbers that movie and was a fan...

5. Animal... something small and frenetic and zipping around a lot, will launch itself at you if it feels threatened, will sometimes curl up and hide. Ooh, I know, a mongoose. Will take on a cobra, as a matter of course.

6. Wondered... Are you ever going to log that pre-cog stuff with Amanda and Angie? With the knowing and the not telling? I haven't liked to ask again since I've got that nagging issue.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

6. Yes. I'm trying to find the right time, actually. Not sure when we want to set it, since nothing really overt's come up that makes it feel like it fits. Maybe after end of Buy Now Pay Later?

[deathpixie]

*grins* Actually, that might work... Email me?

[greenet.livejournal.com]

Memememe!

[deathpixie]

1. Something... SassKitty! I don't IM you enough.

2. Song/movie... "It's So Quiet" by Bjork. Especially with the screaming bit in the middle. You're all quiet and apparently shy and then next thing a person knows, there's a Sass in their lap. ;)

3. In joke... The evils of pub food on the unaccustomed system.

4. First memory... Same as Dex's at the airport. And then the bus trip back to his apartment and the gradual horizontal movement. And the purple hair, of course. :)

5. Animal... C'mon, SassKitty? Gotta be a cat, tho' I'm thinking one of those purebreed types, all elegant and slim.

6. Wondered... Once you finish school, what next?

[dexfarkin.livejournal.com]

I am bored and have had drinks. I will be memed.

[deathpixie]

1. Something... If I'm to be thought of as being someone's thrall, hey, there could be a lot worse people to be considered a minion to. *grins*

2. Song/movie... "I Will Not Go Quietly (Duffy's Song) - The Whitlams/ He Died With A Falafel In His Hand.

3. In joke... "That's so wrong!... Let's do it!"

4. First memory... 'Oh fuck, I'm in Canada to meet a bunch of people I know online, I must be insane, where's this Dex person I don't really get on with... Oh, that must be him. Hmm, shorter than I'd pictured.'

5. Animal... Octopus. Or a moray eel. ;)

6. Wondered... Is there anything you'd refuse to tell me if I asked, since you usually answer any question I have?

[ion-duck.livejournal.com]

Try me...

[deathpixie]

1. Something... YOu're insane, but in a good way. A little bit of surreality in what could be a highly mundane life. I wish you'd use cut tags with those damn quizzes in your LJ, tho'. ;)

2. Song/movie... Weird Al's Jedi song - "My, my this here Anakin guy..."

3. In joke... We jumpstarted Seraph with a vacum cleaner.

4. First memory... Subreality RRs, and wondering just what the hell I was supposed to do with what you'd just posted.

5. Animal... The Ion Duck, of course!

6. Wondered... If you could ever post a serious reply to an RR. ;)

[ion-duck.livejournal.com]

6. Wondered... If you could ever post a serious reply to an RR. ;)

The RRs... no. (The closest I came was my addition to the current reboot the newbies started.) But Subreality stories... yes. To this day I particular fond of the 'Me, Myself and I' set.

Part of it is that I find my truly dark storytelling style doesn't mesh well when I try to work with others. I generally have a VERY well defined idea of where a serious story is going to end up... and co-writers keep trying to keep all the characters happy or at least alive. Occasionally, if the plead their case well enough, I acquiese. Though even my comedies (like my still being revised novella Planet Nowhere) have a satisfying but not really happy endings. An amalgamation of sorts between the completely absurd and the bittersweet.

[technophobia.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is true. I love hearing things about myself. I am a sheep. Baa.

[deathpixie]

1. Something... One of the few fanficcers I've met who is actually taller than I thought.

2. Song/movie... 'Play that Funky Music', the Johnny and the Demons version.

3. In joke... Postcard from Canada and the Wrogn Damn Name.

4. First memory... Those emails and /msgs during a particularly difficult time in your personsal life several years ago. Me being the anti-relationship counsellor. ;)

5. Animal... A puppy. Probably a Lab, all lanky and growing into its size. Boundless affection.

6. Wondered... Plans for Sam and/or Doug upcoming?

[seraangel.livejournal.com]

Me! Me! *grins*

[deathpixie]

1. Something... You're my RaphieSis. Nothing will change that.

2. Song/movie... "Gabriel" by Luka Bloom.

3. In joke... Writing under the influence of fairy floss and why it's a Bad Thing. ;)

4. First memory... Reading Subreality RRs and realising there was another Australian in this crazy community. And wanting to 'meet' you.

5. Animal... Koala. No, go with me here. All cute and fuzzy and beloved by many, but when roused extremely fierce. Sometimes inclined to be on the lazy side, like with writing. ;) You don't pee on people that much tho'.

6. Wondered... If you're going to beat me for saying you're a koala.

[seraangel.livejournal.com]

1. And you're my RossiSis. *hugs*


2. I love that song. Glad you sent it to me. It's the song I listen to when I need a pick me up.

5 & 6. *snickers* Nah, it's an apt description, and made me laugh like hell at the peeing bit. ;) And yes, can definitely be on the lazy side. I seriously need to start poking myself more with the writing thing.

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

And one more for the road!

[deathpixie]

1. Something... There have been many times I've wanted to go over there and kick certain males arses from one end of town to the other for being jerks to you.

2. Song/movie... "Any Day Now" Bif Naked

3. In joke... Chili breakfast.

4. First memory... Breakfast at that place in Alburqurque.

5. Animal... Desert fox - lean and fierce sometimes, but also loyal and affectionate. Impressions of speed.

6. Wondered... What's your favourite movie?

[azzinita.livejournal.com]

6. Hmmmmmm.

It's difficult because I have a different favrotie depending on what mood I'm in. Right now I adore Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but that could change very soon.

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

Me!

[deathpixie]

1. Something... The first XP person I started talking to regularly that I hadn't known already. Making new friends is a good thing.

2. Song/movie... "Easy Like Sunday Morning" - it's in my head as a Brighton song. :)

3. In joke... String on the big toe - did you get your parcel yet?

4. First memory... Being pinged and asked if Amanda and Angelo would get on.

5. Animal... *hrmms* Tricky, since I have little in the way of a mental picture of you that doesn't involve your characters... A gecko, darting around, sometimes hiding for a while or going quiet, then popping out again. And I like geckoes - they're very cute.

6. Wondered... Have you ever seen Firefly at all?

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

I did get the parcel! *dances*

Sascha says I'm a hawk. I'm not entirely sure why.

I've seen the first three episodes, and I have the rest of the DVDs with every intention of watching them, um... sometime. *grins*
