[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

Me! Meeee!

[deathpixie]

a) 'Cause I knew you through comic fandom and had met you several times at Dexcon, of course. :)

b) Dr Who, and the awesome Rose you write.

c) Apart from being the missing triplet? Our random in-jokey conversations.

d) Every drink you've ever bought for me. :)

e) When are you visiting next?

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/62097135/56084

[indiana-j.livejournal.com]

e. *grins* Hopefully for Mindy's birthday!

[maureenans.livejournal.com]

me :D

[deathpixie]

a) I'd known of you in comic fandom, and then rediscovered in in XP and added you then.

b) Purple and plaid. :)

c) Your enthusiasm and the fact you always make me laugh, no matter how bad a mood I'm in.

d) KC airport and surprising Matt. The glee on your face... *grins*

e) What got you into the undertaking?

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/73592075/70978 I'm not sure of the source material, but for some reason it grabs my attention every time you use it.

[maureenans.livejournal.com]

I've always wanted to help people and my parents suggested it. I think it is a good fit.

it's from Stargate. the episode where Danny goes crazy and is locked in a mental institution.

[technophobia.livejournal.com]

Me! I think this one went around a while back, but I always like meme attention. :)

[deathpixie]

a) I knew you from comics fandom and #subcafe.

b) The acapella version of "Insomniac" you sent me.

c) You care about people.

d) Doing that clubbing log with Doug and Amanda way back when I started the game. :)

e) How did you get into the career you're in?

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/78144670/185841 always makes me smile. And read the whole thing through.

[technophobia.livejournal.com]

e) my first job out of college was in test and evaluation, due to a friend of my dad's who I sent my resume to. This job came directly from a project I did on my previous job, as a guy I worked with got me hired.

[nute.livejournal.com]

Suuuuuure.

[deathpixie]

a) Because, again, I already knew you. :)

b) Dylan Thomas: "Do not go gently into that good night, but rage, rage against the dying of the light." Not to mean you're dying, but that you're a fighter.

c) You're a good friend, no matter what.

d) Breaking your rib in Melbourne.

e) Is there anything I don't already know? ;)

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/41654803/63815 Who can resist the penguin?

[nute.livejournal.com]

e) Lots to find out. ;)

[ion-duck.livejournal.com]

if you feel like it-- I'll post mine after I get my reward

[deathpixie]

a) The same reason I friended you on Facebook - I found you via someone's friendslist and added you because you're one of the Subreality crew. :)

b) Red Dwarf and vacuum cleaners.

c) Your zaniness. I like that I can never predict you.

d) Turning you into the incarnation of Mary Sue and making you the hero of a THOSD RR, despite your protests.

e) What you you want from life?

f) You need more icons. ;)

[ion-duck.livejournal.com]

a) The same reason I friended you on Facebook - I found you via someone's friendslist and added you because you're one of the Subreality crew. :)

If I friended everyone subreality I'd never finish reading my LJ entries. I kept only the people I like.


c) Your zaniness. I like that I can never predict you.

Actually, I'm rather predictable. There is a certain logic to the way I think and operate and I rarely deviate from it. It's just that is usually just so simple that it confuses people. (A friend of mine say I'm half Rincewind and half Carrot-- if that makes any sense.)

d) Turning you into the incarnation of Mary Sue and making you the hero of a THOSD RR, despite your protests.

If memory serves didn't protest the idea. I just thought the way it was done should have been done a little differently... it seemed a little rushed. I agreed right idea. You, Chandri and others WANTED the job which made you the 'classic' Campbellean heroes (ranging from Arthur to Superman). The House wanted the 'unlikely hero'-- and out of anyone in the HOSD I think I was the more obvious Percival or Blue Beetle.

e) What you you want from life?

I'm not sure. Right now-- to eventually move away from the Parenters. Get my own place. (On the five year plan. I'm not pissing actual money away on a rent job.) Something female, geeky but smart (and energetic) enough to keep up with me would be nice but face it not likely to happen.

f) You need more icons. ;)

I have four. One for standard, one for being retrospective, one for being quackers and my angry icon. Only I don't get angry much these days. 'Sides, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

[hex-16.livejournal.com]

Me!

[deathpixie]

a) Again, another of the old #subcafe crew. After Kielle died, I found I didn't want to lose track of anyone again and friended everyone I could find.

b) Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler".

c) Your enthusiasm.

d) Phone calls to Dex and I to talk about poker.

e) Besides poker and FFXI, what else gets you enthused?

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/193428/155600 Like Jesse, you need more icons, dude. ;)

[hex-16.livejournal.com]

e) Besides poker and FFXI, what else gets you enthused?

• Travel. It's something I haven't done in a while.


• Music. My tastes are eclectic, leaning heavily on classic rock.


• Films. I'm not into art house flicks though. I'm more of an action movie fan. I prefer to find art in more mainstream films. I like listening to the audio commentaries on movies. I like learning how things work, and that applies to creative pursuits too.


• Gadgets


• 007 movies


• American football

[hex-16.livejournal.com]

I forgot to add: game theory. This is sort of why I'm interested in poker, or Scrabble. Even somewhat in American football or baseball, where you might call a different play, or throw a different pitch depending on certain other game conditions. Game theory isn't so much about games themselves, so much as the mathematical analysis of "risk-reward" scenarios, all the way from playing rock-paper-scissors, up to military strategy. This stuff fascinates me.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

Hit me! (but not literally, I hear you break ribs.) *RUNS*

[deathpixie]

a) At some point someone I didn't already know from comics fandom will answer this. ;) See the last seven answers. ;)

b) Murph the squishy panda.

c) Your determination to do the right thing. You make mistakes, but you acknowledge them and get back up and try again.

d) This past Dexcon, coming back to our place and watching something on TV whilst Dex made us pizza.

e) Helps if I ask a question. I plead deadbrain last night. Um. Who is your favourite person to log with in XP that isn't Twiller? ;)

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/41252793/61341 So cute.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

e) In no particular order, since I really can't decide - you, Nute, Dex, IJ.

[winter-noir.livejournal.com]

I'm totally just going to whore around to all of you with this meme. :D

[deathpixie]

Gah, I'm a numbskull. Mixed your LJ up with Mon's. *headdesks* Shows what I know, huh?

Trying again, with you answers this time. :P

a) Same response - you're an XP person, but I have you on the reading filter 'cause you're interesting. :)

b) San Francisco and cycling. :)

c) The last answer also fits you - you're easy to talk to and make me laugh. And you're smart. I like that. :)

d) Well, I'm hoping my meme gaffe isn't remembered... Probably that first log with Vette and Kevin and you being so surprised at how well they hit it off. :)

e) Why XP out of all the games you have out there?

f) Still the Wash one. :)

[winter-noir.livejournal.com]

You fail.

e. Maureen's a hell of a pitch woman. Redhawk had tried previously and totally failed to get me to see past the one despised aspect I was fixating on: movieverse.

[dexfarkin.livejournal.com]

Validate me!

[deathpixie]

a) Because I was in Australia and it seemed like the only way to keep in touch with people was LJ, so I got one and added all the comics people.

b) "Dance, gecko, dance!"

c) Huh. Hmm. Besides the fact you're not only my roomie you're one of my best friends? You make me eat when I'm sick and put up with my whinging.

d) The airport bar, four hours of talking and saying goodbye and realising you weren't an arrogant prick who I didn't like afterall.

e) Do you want me to pick up anything on the way home? I need to get kitty litter.

f) The Blackadder one.

[trishalynn.livejournal.com]

Continuing the comics fandom theme...

[deathpixie]

a) Comics fandom, keeping in touch, blah blah, see last eight answers. ;)

b) Sailor Hellblazer

c) Your sense of fun - you know how to have a good time.

d) The wedding I went with you to and my exploding shirt.

e) Are you ever truly comfortable when you're single?

f) The gatherings one (work comps are dumb and won'y let me save image locations. :P)

[seraangel.livejournal.com]

Me!

[deathpixie]

a) I think the better response is "why wouldn't I?"

b) "Gabriel" by Luka Bloom.

c) You legitimately care about people.

d) Seeing you in the hotel lobby that first Dexcon and telling you you so weren't five foot eight. ;)

e) Is there anything I don't know? Um, when's your next doctor's appointment so I can poke you about those things you need to ask about?

f) "Angel in sadness by the sea" - stupid work comps won't let me link.

[bittertwist.livejournal.com]

Meeeee.

I especially want to see what you ask for e) because you already know so much! LOL.

Shaiyela

[deathpixie]

a) Again, one of the comics fandom crowd.

b) Your photos - they're very distinctive.

c) Your honesty - there doesn't seem to be anything you're afraid to talk about.

d) Various LJ cooments about therapy - your perspective helped a lot. :)

e) Where would you like most in the world to live?

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/79307459/1400127

[bittertwist.livejournal.com]

c - I'm glad someone values that, because it's the one thing I truly focus on in life. Everything else can come as it may, so long as you're honest!

e - Where home feels like home, where I'm not wandering to get away because it's got everything I need, where I'm happier there than anywhere else, where it's safe. I have yet to find that place.

Shaiyela

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

Memememe!

[deathpixie]

a) Because you're awesome!

b) That story you wrote about the Myer's Christmas Windows coming alive. ;)

c) Your creativity and your enthusiasm. No matter how you're feeling, you still throw yourself into things.

d) The first GASP and Bill the Chicken.

e) Do you ever regret drinking the XP koolaid?

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/47862916/499367

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

Hey sugarpie.

[deathpixie]

a) Well, d'uh.

b) Diana Ah Naid's "Perfect Family", which you introduced me to.

c) Everything? Um, the fact it doesn't matter how much time passes, it's always like it's just been a couple of days since we last talked.

d) Sitting in the wading pool at your place that first New Year's visit, drinking and trying to avoid being eaten alive by mosquitoes.

e) Is there any chance you'll visit Toronto again?

f) The one you're using. :)

[pollymel.livejournal.com]

Huh, okay. Well, I originally nonlj friended you after the first AusCon I think. We'd sort of been vaguely in contact before then... And we'd supported each other as Aussies and stuff and then we met and ... well, I walked in a pair of docs, we sat in the park and ate a picnic and it was so awesome I just kept keeping in contact. Some point I got hooked on ridiculously long phone calls, generally while I was washing up, or drinking red wine, or both.

It has totally been more than a few days. ;) I keep thinking about calling, but my weekends get all filled up with stuff. you'll have to make a suggestion of a Fri/Sat night you have at home, and I'll see if I have time too. (prolly not till ... mid Oct?).

I remember walking along the Brissie river after a fair few Cosmos. Actually, most of my memories involving you involve talking lots. Aside from my burning paranoid hatred of you on the bus after Knoxville. ;)

I would love to visit Toronto again, but a) I don't have a permanent job with, y'know, firm leave yet, and b) Both DexCon and New Years are expensive to get to and c) I am broke and d) I am lazy. ;)

One day, I totally will. If I get another job after January next year, I'm going to start planning a trip I think. Or something.

[qbmuses.livejournal.com]

Me? I'm mostly interested in what icons people like, oddly.

[deathpixie]

a) Because you reappeared after disappearing and I wanted to make sure you didn't get away again. ;)

b) A road with footprints on it.

c) Another person I can't pick just one thing. Your caring. Your creativity. The way you laugh.

d) A copy of a Whitlams CD with warnings on certain songs not to play them when you're mopey, and margaritas and glittery toenail polish.

e) Do you still have the Cowboy Georgia hat?

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/67185495/12628679

[thatpalebluedot.livejournal.com]

*waves*

[deathpixie]

a) Another "D'uh!" answer. 'Cause you're Hilly!

b) The ocean.

c) Where do I start? The fact you've never lost your faith in people despite seeing the absolute worst of them. Your courage. Your strength. The way you love people.

d) Semi-skinny dipping with you, Mel and Duey in Savanna on a gorgeous summer evening. Pre-jellyfish, any way. ;)

e) What was that in your LJ the other week about getting some? ;)

f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/5911411/75981
