Circle of friends meme-thing

[deathpixie]

This one comes from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], one of the new people I met at [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s wake. It was really fitting, I thought, that I'd come away from that with new people I wanted to stay in touch with, at least via LJ. So very Kielle, I think.

Any way, USCJ (as opposed to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] who is UKCJ) has this meme up. Considering how many of my friends list I've actually met, it works. Although, online together memories also work.

Leave one memory of you and me together. It doesn't matter if I know you a little or a lot, anything you remember! Next, post this in your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.

Peeling you off the Brooklyn Bridge, which you were trying to climb.

[deathpixie]

*laughs* But there were nice big rough stones!

You, me and philf, in that pub in Enfield Town after a walk around the old church and sitting outside the civic centre discussing Neil Gaimen and Sandman and Constantine. You know, that lunch that lasted for 8 hours when we were talking about anything and everything. <3

[deathpixie]

*grins* The first of many eight hour long sessions with Phil to come...

[cocoajava.livejournal.com]

USCJ! *laughs* I like that.

Well, guess it would have to be the memory I have of listening to you speak at the Wake. Your accent was lulling me into a sense of charmed bliss, I think!

I've very grateful to have had the chance to meet you - there were a couple of intersecting circles of friends there, betwixt the CFAN and the LOTR folk, and I really like that people are blending more into one circle. The Lady would have approved. :)

[deathpixie]

*snickers* I knew I should have broken out with "Crikey! Me arm!" in the middle of that...

And agreed. I really enjoyed meeting new and interesting people, and that friendsing frenzy has occurred. ;)

Wandering Melbourne with you, Berni, and Phil after ONE bar had closed; while WE were intending to go back to our hotel to get sleep before our flight, SOMEONE had to find a group of blokes with funny accents and follow them into the bar that looked like the weird vampire porn lair. And then you broke my rib.

[deathpixie]

I still maintain you have crappy ribs.

[(Anonymous)]

This was when you were in Melbourne, yeah? So I've got this feeling that I was there and that the barman cut me off, in the goth bar. Mostly, I remember the hangover of Death the next morning.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bounce_/]

...and that was me, only I'd forgotten to log in.

[deathpixie]

Yep, that was that time. Chais Lounge is the name of the bar.

[cynjen]

Sitting on the steps of the British Museum with you and Farli, and I played with your lizard keyring and your HOSD key (didn't Kielle do that for you?) and talking about your uni and Japan years.

[deathpixie]

*nods* Yep, she did indeed. I wore it on my belt loop at the wake and got to tell the story of it since I sent a pic of it in for [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s quilt.

[aliciam.livejournal.com]

Sitting at a little table at the back of the St. Lawrence Market and talking all afternoon.

[deathpixie]

This talking thing seems to be a recurring theme... *grins* My one for you is the same, only it's in that coffee shop when we we're logging in your notebook and I was marvelling at the tiny handwriting.

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

Dude. One memory? Okay, one totally without any particular significance, because there are too many for any particular importance.

"Hello!"

"Oh! You're home! What're you doing at home? Isn't this bookclub night?"

(also the glee that your package brought me earlier)

[deathpixie]

*snickers* Scary thing is, I think I remember that...

And the parcel was so much fun to put together, even if I was running around the supermarket going "Ack! Broken Mel!"

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

Heh. Now I am all guilty. In future I'll try to book my breakages in advance. Possibly send out an itinerary and a reminder... ;) My plan that evening had been to leave you feedback on your message bank. Which you foiled by being at home. *sniffs* Some people are so inconsiderate.

[deathpixie]

*phbbts* Dorkface.

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

But only in the good way.

[threnody.livejournal.com]

I remember sitting alone with you in the lobby of the Holiday Inn on King at whichever Dexcon it was I went to, smiling and nodding and feeling terribly embarrassed and not sure how to tell you I could only understand every tenth word you were saying.

*shame, not least of which for the horrendous run-on sentence*

[deathpixie]

*grins* Hey, no worries. I talk faster when I'm excited, and Dexcon was definitely an exciting time. I'll try and remember to slow down next time...

[icewing.livejournal.com]

Well, I could pick online ones, but I'll go with a real life one.

You, sitting about 2 feet from where I'm presently sitting and us talking for hours while Gerg and Jason were upstairs. Like we'd known each other for years.

[deathpixie]

*grins* We have that sort of relationship. And yeah, this talking thing is really turning out to be a theme... Thanks again for the incredible hospitality, btw. ;)

It's AAAAAALL about the drop-bears ...

[khanfused.livejournal.com]

... well, ok, we DID talk about a lot more than that this last weekend ... but it's a good headline, and I'll take those whenever I can get them. ;-)

Re: It's AAAAAALL about the drop-bears ...

[deathpixie]

Laughs* And just for you... the icon! Well, a drop bear icon. I need to commission someone to try drawing one for me.

[seraangel.livejournal.com]

You, me & Mel standing out on your back porch in the house at Wodonga and talking while we watched the stars. :)

[deathpixie]

And Mel freezing her butt off, iirc...

[seraangel.livejournal.com]

Yep. *grins* And us wondering why we were hanging out in the cold but still not going inside.

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

"Uh, guys? I have bare feet, and I can't feel them or my knees any more... can we go inside? *pleeeaaaasee?*"

[qodarkness.livejournal.com]

Synchronised sleeping in a single bed in a hot Toronto hostel. Seriously, did we turn over at the same time or did we just never move?

A

[deathpixie]

I think we sychronised the turning. Shared brain and all...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bounce_/]

To just pick one at random? You were still in the Brunswick place and it was just after the GASP there and you, me, Phil and Mel went to the Quarry and stinking drunk and then ended up getting takeaways and curry stains on your couch.

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

Was I even there? If I was, how drunk was I? I don't remember anything... Wait. Maybe. curry? I dunno. Was I drunk? Do I not remember because I was not drunk?

What? What's going on, who are you people?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_bounce_/]

You were drinking red wine at the pub. This is after we'd stuck Andraste on the tram to head home. I'm almost certain you were there. Or at least, I was certain. now I'm not. I think we'd (or at least, i'd) had a giant fuck off sandwich at that place on Lygon st that had the padded walls in it. We had cocktails there, another time?

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

... huh.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

Besides "Salad! With Gravy!"?

Standing in Dex's kitchen, talking about martial arts and having that Eureka! moment where I realized that what you were saying about balance not only Made Sense, but helped a -lot-.

[deathpixie]

*beams* I'm really glad that helped. There's a reason they made me teach all the time that wasn't solely to do with me not being much of a sparrer... ;)

[dandesun.livejournal.com]

You in the black trench and shades wandering around one of the various pubs we hung out at in Toronto at Dexcon (that were "only 6 blocks away") looking rather like Trinity.

Even though I'd never seen the movies.

[deathpixie]

Oh! KJ's coat! I'd forgotten that until now! *hees*

[mice.livejournal.com]

Probably one of the worse faux pau's of my life - reaching out to hug you at Claim Jumper and exclaiming, "And you are?"

You are now burned in my mind like a rather embarrassing Porky Pig tattoo on a body part best left unnamed.

[mice.livejournal.com]

Or a faux pas. I do faux pas's, too. Faux pau's are just exceptionally bad.

[deathpixie]

And possibly related to blue-skinned priestesses from Farscape?

And hey, no biggie with the lack of recognition. Hair's longer and darker than last time, and you only met me the once.

*hmms* Was it you who was the big Crowded House fan? I know I meant to pimp music to someone who was...

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

It was either a New Years or a DexCon, when we were at Dex's apartment and you, Nute and I couldn't sleep, so we were gathered around your laptop on the kitchen floor at like stupid o'clock chatting.

[deathpixie]

New Years, the year I went. I had jetlag of Doom and the apartment was so hot, I couldn't adapt. I meant to just do some writing, but I stepped on Matt reaching for the laptop and woke him up, and then we woke you with the talking, I think.

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

*snickers* I don't think I was really asleep--more like curled up in a chair going "Urgh, am sleepy and...ooo, voices!"

...I'm bad, the fact that you stepped on him amuses me. :D

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Driving you all around L.A.... twice! You are an awesome car partner.
