More Memage (or: The Boredom sets in)

[jadesfire]

EDIT: Slightly overwhelmed by response (*sniff* I love you guys ;)) and lack of LJ notifications...*grrr*

Also, clicked on spoiler pictures. Brain exploded. Must clean up mess before I go home. Squeeing all the way.

How long to Saturday?

Will reply to everyone in the morning, scout's honour :)

---

Ooh, while I think of it, I'm planning on having an icon shuffle over the next few days, so if random pictures turn up in your journals, it's probably me being indecisive as usual...

I did one of these a while back, but they're always entertaining, and I've met some of you guys since then. Plus I'm nosy and I have to stay late at work - entertain me, people! ;) Picked up from fajrdrako.


I want to know 28 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never liked each other, or if we already know everything about each other. I really don't. I'm curious about who's on my list and who has me on theirs. What kind of people share this odd non-space with each other, hm?

1. Your Middle Name:
2. Age:
3. Single or Taken:
4. Favorite Movie:
5. Favorite Song or Album:
6. Favorite Band/Artist:
7. Dirty or Clean:
8. Tattoos and/or Piercings:
9. Do we know each other outside of LJ?
10. What's your philosophy on life?
11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty?
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest?
13. What is your favorite memory of us?
14. What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you:
16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarkey) - what are they?
17. Can we get together and bake a cake?
18. Which country is your spiritual home?
19. What is your big weakness?
20. Do you think I'm a good person?
21. What was your best/favorite subject at school?
22. Describe your accent:
23. If you could change anything about me, would you?
24. What do you wear to sleep?
25. Trousers or skirts?
26. Cigarettes or alcohol?
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? (If you have no idea, just say something crazy, it'll entertain me!)
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?

Comments

22. In my native language I have the regional accent of where I was born, slightly modified with the accent of the city I'm studying in. In English, it varies wildly depending on who I'm talking to, but my 'base' accent is vaguely American with a lot of British influences.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

You've made me giggle, grin and 'awwww' in equal parts :)

13. Coming up with a crazy drabble prompt and getting a hugely satisfying answer.
*grin* Trust me, it was just as much fun to write

16. 3)Clothes that are actually cut to *my* figure and don't wear out within the year.
Oh yes! So glad that's not just a UK thing :D

19. I'd be the world's greatest procrastinator if I ever got around to it.
I may have to print that out and stick it on my wall...

27. Fly to Cardiff and stalk John Barrowman (Or David Tennant. Your choice.)
Hmmmm...I hate decisions. Why not both?

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

I see great minds think alike when it comes to #27. :D

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Just to say I love it that you said "Unbreakable", I adore that movie!

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

I am right there with you in the "hey, y'all, entertain me!" category.

1. Your Middle Name: Leigh. Pronounced "Lay", don't ask me what my parents were smoking. (And point of non-interest...that is my real middle name, but the rest of it? Not real at all. Had problems with a scary guy a few years back, and now don't use my real name for internet or e-mail or anything.)
2. Age: 33
3. Single or Taken: Taken! But I'd totally cheat for John Barrowman. (Did anybody NOT ALREADY know that?)
4. Favorite Movie: I have to narrow it down to one? Can't. I love the Lord of the Rings movies; also "While You Were Sleeping".
5. Favorite Song or Album: Changes every five minutes. Currently "Voodoo Child" by Rogue Traders.
6. Favorite Band/Artist: Also changes every five minutes. Currently the Beatles. Ask me these two next week and I guarantee you'll get a different answer.
7. Dirty or Clean: Squeaky.
8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: None. See #7.
9. Do we know each other outside of LJ? Unfortunately not.
10. What's your philosophy on life? When I figure that one out, I'll let you know. Overall, I'm in favor of it.
11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? It's half-full of liquid and half-full of air.
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? Depends on the secret. I'm not much in favor of keeping things quiet that people need to know.
13. What is your favorite memory of us? I think one of the highlights was the Jack-mpreg crack thread.
14. What is your favorite guilty pleasure? Offline...a stack of Oreos and milk. Online...h/c fic, involving Jack if at all possible. (There's not nearly enough good h/c fic involving Jack.)
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: I can solve a Rubik's cube.
16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarkey) - what are they? 1) To be able to quit my job and stay home with my kids. 2) To be able to move somewhere that doesn't suck in crime ratings, school ratings, air quality ratings, poverty ratings, and every other rating in the book. 3) To be able to eat anything I want without gaining weight.
17. Can we get together and bake a cake? I'll need a passport. And a boxed mix.
18. Which country is your spiritual home? I love the USA, but if I didn't live here I'd choose England.
19. What is your big weakness? Which one? I have several. I'm pessimistic, I have very little patience, I have no self-confidence, I'm shy...I can talk for a long time, a very long time...
20. Do you think I'm a good person? Yes.
21. What was your best/favorite subject at school? English. Literature, not grammar.
22. Describe your accent: Amurrican Su'thun. The kind of accent that gets 20 points automatically taken off your IQ when people hear it. I tend to pick up the accent of whoever I'm around, though.
23. If you could change anything about me, would you? I'd make you write faster. :D
24. What do you wear to sleep? Nightshirt and warm-up pants.
25. Trousers or skirts? WAHAHAHAHAHA!...oh, I'm sorry, you were serious.
26. Cigarettes or alcohol? Neither, thanks.
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? (If you have no idea, just say something crazy, it'll entertain me!) We'd go find John Barrowman (or your guy of choice) and POUNCE. Show them no mercy!
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Sure, why not?

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

It's so reassuring when your friends are as daft as you are.

I think one of the highlights was the Jack-mpreg crack thread.
That one's going to linger. ;)

I'll need a passport. And a boxed mix.
I have a passport, but no idea what a boxed mix is...

I'd make you write faster.
Look, I type 80 words a minute. How much faster do you want?

The kind of accent that gets 20 points automatically taken off your IQ when people hear it.
It's the only US accent that I can even approximate, so I like it :)

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

Go on then *rolls eyes*

1. Maria
2. 29
3. Taken
4. Oh loads, but I'll go with Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
5. Varies with mood...um...Zombie by The Cranberries
6. Pet Shop Boys
7. *blink* Dirty or clean what? (that probably answers the question...)
8. Two piercings in each ear lobe
9. Does Facebook count? And email...but not really
10. Regret nothing - every decision you make was the right decision at that time, even if you would have done it differently with hindsight
11. Usually half full, even on my darkest days
12. It would depend on the magnitude of the secret. If it was something about your relationship or people you love, no I wouldn't hide it, but if it was about something unimportant, then maybe
13. Probably the first time you betad for me and we ended up discussing the moving of dead bodies... I knew then we were going to get along :D
14. Watching America's/Canada's/Britain's Next Top Model
15. I can play the clarinet, the saxophone, the guitar and the cello, in that order of proficiency.
16. Health, long life, good friends
17. Yes, that would be nice; I enjoy baking. But we'd have to use your oven cos mine is electric and only has too settings - raw or burnt
18. Hmm. I've always been drawn to Canada, even though I've never been there. Out of the countries I've visited? Um... I like them all for different reasons, so I can't choose. OK, Sweden
19. Self-doubt
20. You seem to be
21. I was best at English, but my favourite was Music
22. English University - that curious mix of Home Counties, my original accent, and general Northern
23. Nope, you're adorable as you are
24. Nada
25. Depends on mood/weather, but mostly skirts
26. Alcohol
27. I'd take you up Snowdon (on the funicular railway, the footpath, or scrambling, depending on what you were dying of). Then once we got back down into Llanberis at the foot of the mountain, I'd take you into Pete's Eats, who do ginormous mugs of tea and coffee, and we could just sit and chat and watch the world go by (and by that I mean other walkers/climbers). After that I'd take you back to Bangor, and we could sit on the pier watching the sun set over the Menai Straits and Anglesey (stunningly beautiful). We could end the day in Bangor Cathedral if you liked, listening to choral music.
28. Possibly...

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

we ended up discussing the moving of dead bodies
I'd forgotten that, but then there have been many, even more surreal conversations since then...

you're adorable as you are
Bless you :)

And good grief 27's detailed, but I expect nothing less by now ;) Sounds good though. *sigh* Better than a huge pile of classifying.

[unfeathered]

10. Regret nothing - every decision you make was the right decision at that time, even if you would have done it differently with hindsight

Oooh, I like that. That's a very good philosophy. I wish I could do that! :-)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

You hit someone with a kite? *blinks* Worryingly impressive...

#17 - we'll use your kitchen in that case. I'm renting and the landlord might object.

#18 - it's funny, but I always feel most energised walking the streets that run at the back of Oxford street. There's just something about them that puts a spring in my step.

#27 - good point :)

[siranan.livejournal.com]

Well, this sounds like a lot of fun, and I'm bored and wet from having dug trenches in the garden to avoid the house flooding. Pretty pointless really, since it's probably going to anyway.

Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. And, finally, here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy..."
God Bless Monty Python...

13. What is your favorite memory of us? Ummm.... I love your fic?? Sorry, I really shouldn't be here...
14. What is your favorite guilty pleasure? Ben and Jerrys - any flavour, anytime, anywhere - don't ask me to save the world if it's anywhere near me. And Never Mind the Buzzcocks/Simon Amstell.

16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarkey) - what are they? Meet John Barrowman/David Tennant, kiss John Barrowman/David Tennant someone to tell me what degree to take sometime soon, and to be two dress sizes smaller, only three wishes...cheapskate.... (Why, yes, I am shallow, thanks for mentioning it.)
17. Can we get together and bake a cake? If you like - fancy Nottinghamshire in the floods? I can bake a mean brownie....

24. What do you wear to sleep? Baggy T-shirt, shorts
25. Trousers or skirts? Jeans. 24/7.

28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Well, sure, but I'm not actually on your flist, so I doubt you'd see it...


Well, wasn't that a fun trip :)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I'm not actually on your flist, so I doubt you'd see it...
Ah, but you are now :)

I'm feeeling kind of guilty for wasting your time since you barely know me
Don't! I hoped this would let me meet some people who are on my list but I've never really met properly. Hi! *waves*

#11 has me giggling :)

#15 - really? how? why? Was it good chocolate?

#27 - tough choice, but probably Rome out of those two.

Hope the house survives the rain...I may drown on the way home...

18. Which country is your spiritual home? Cornwall. OK, not a country, but…right down the end. Near St Just. It's wild and open and you can breathe…

24. What do you wear to sleep? A night-shirt (big T-shirt). I have to keep my legs cool because I have restless leg syndrome.

You knit? Cool. I tried but always end up tying the needles together...

*grin* I went to school in Essex and I pick up the edge of the accent when I go back to that part of the world. Mixed with North London, it's not pretty.

I love Nigella's cakes as well. The dense chocolate loaf cake is just wonderful.

Wicked is a good plan, definitely. Can't wait to see it! :)

11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? If I'm thirsty enough, who cares?
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? Depends what it was.
13. What is your favorite memory of us? Your oh-so-helpful comments on my first CM fic - I seriously cannot thankyou enough!
14. What is your favorite guilty pleasure? Staying home alone with a lot of good food and a box set of one of my favourite shows.
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: I paint my arms and legs with cool designs when I'm going for a night out on the town.
16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarkey) - what are they? (1) Make out with Shemar Moore, (2) Make out with Josh Holloway, (3) Make out with Kirsten Vangsness
17. Can we get together and bake a cake? Absolutely. Nine-layer chocolate cake, I think.
18. Which country is your spiritual home? All of them! I'm a traveller at heart.
19. What is your big weakness? Television. Looking in the tv guide and realising that there'll be 6 consecutive hours of my favourite shows leaves me with a giddy, satisfied feeling that is really not normal.
20. Do you think I'm a good person? Hell yes!
21. What was your best/favorite subject at school? English, Science, Japanese, Italian, French, Psychology (yes, I was that kid - the one who the teacher picked to help grade the other kids tests. I kid you not.)
22. Describe your accent: Blandest Australian, with a hint of suburban bogan when I've been drinking!
23. If you could change anything about me, would you? I'd eliminate your need for sleep and food and work, so that you could devote all your time to writing pretty CM fics. Kidding, I wouldn't change you!
24. What do you wear to sleep? Flannel PJs with cartoon characters on them.
25. Trousers or skirts? Either. Often both at the same time.
26. Cigarettes or alcohol? Alcohol. Smoking doesn't do anything for me.
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? (If you have no idea, just say something crazy, it'll entertain me!) Well, for a start, we'd bake that chocolate cake!
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Maybe! :)
