Less of a meme and more of a youyou

[hackthis_archive]

(gacked from obsessedmuch)

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

My personal goal is: to get over my writer's block, write my Obscure Santa thingy, and perhaps do something illegal this weekend.

I aim high.

I play the viola and I still sleep with my favorite stuffed animal, a very soft and good-natured pig named Bobby.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I think pigs make good stuffed animals. Tell me about the viola, what's it like?

[plumsnickety.livejournal.com]

I desperately want to work at Coyote Ugly. Or be a Bond girl. Can you sense a theme?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Um, you want to kick some ass?

I'm a 17 (almost) boy scout, sea scout, and girl scout. Go on, ask me how.

and hi. i'm de-lurking here. :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am asking how.

[concernedlily.livejournal.com]

Hi, I lurk for more immediate access to the wonderful fic. I'm not keen on veg, but I believe chocolate advent calendars ought to be a year-long thing.

Word.

Hi!

Canned spinach is one of the most disgusting things available for purchase.

About me: I lurk, heavily. After a year of checking 20 different LJs daily for fic, I finally decided to open a LJ account and let LJ do it for me. I love your OC fic so much that it’s made me like the show more. The only other fic I read is lotrips, with which my spousal equivalent is finally coming to grips. For so many reasons, I think that the Clash is the best rock band ever. Every year, I plant about 45 tomato plants and eat tomatoes at every meal for months and get stomach ulcers.

I think canned veggies are all of the bad, but I've never eaten then except in soup so I dunno where that prejudice comes from. I'm glad you liked my OC fic so much, and I agree The Clash do rock quite a bit.

You beta for me sometimes. I'm underage. All the boys I've ever kissed had girlfriends at the time who weren't me.

My personal goals: To actually write my Everwood Secret Santa story, and to get into college.

Ack, for shame!

*waits to be smote by the higher power for doing far worse*

[darkvictory.livejournal.com]

umm..okay, lesse, sumpin' 'bout me....uh...I like old movies? Like classic Alfred Hitchcock and Buster Keaton and German movies from the 20's and 30's and just about anythin' else.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Do you know I don't think I've ever seen a 20s flick. Really. Don't smite me, just saying. I'd like to try though, what do you recommend?

[sundaysunday.livejournal.com]

My feet smell funny.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Mar.

*rolls eyes*

[cimarosa.livejournal.com]

I sleep a lot. I can't think of a single good reason to get up before 1 AM on a Saturday morning. But at my best, I can go for nearly two weeks with maybe an hour or two of sleep a day.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You do mean 1pm, right?

[althea1111.livejournal.com]

I'm like a big TV & fashion encyclopedia for my friends. They always come to me to know what is new on TV and what is the latest trend... and after lightly mock me for knowing the answers

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I used to be like that, I knew everything about every designer, every design house, and all the stuff in between. Back in the bad old days of Style with Elsa Klench and Fashion Television. Ah, good times. Can you believe Gucci's letting Tom Ford get away? Idiots.

[mosca.livejournal.com]

My hair has not been its natural color since 1997. I can't really remember what color it's supposed to be anymore.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

I used to do that, too. I only discovered my real color a few years ago, and now I'm strangely partial to it. Huh.

[moxie-brown.livejournal.com]

I went through a really punk phase before I got to lazy to keep up the image.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Certain things are very high maintenance. I see how that could be an issue.

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

I really only like black shoes. Sometimes I force myself to buy other colors, but I hardly ever wear them.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Black shoes rock. I only recently allowed myself to get into anything besides black, but still black shoes are the best.

[youdbesurprised.livejournal.com]

I am also from the land of lurkdom. I'm one of the randomites you gave LJ codes to a while back...

So, the unique things. I knit. I make pottery. I like vegetables, except for brussels sprouts, which are like tiny evil cabbages. I enjoy X-men to a degree that's probably unhealthy. I just graduated from college, and I can't wait to go back.

And I think you're a good writer :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I used to call brussel sprouts 'Barbie cabbage', and you are right, they are creations of el diablo. There is no doubt there. Also, making pottery is very cool. Go team you.

[the-larch.livejournal.com]

Dude, this meme is making me crazy! Mostly because I suspect that all the people who ask for it will never have time to actually read all the responses they're getting. But anyway, none of that is your fault, and I love you. You write the best X-Men and O.C. fic in the universe. Go, you.

Interesting thing about me #174: I once lived in a cave in the desert in Spain for a month. And I absolutely loved it. One of my goals in life is to save up the roughly 24,000 Euros it would take to buy my own cave there.

(The #174 thing is a lie, because there actually are no interesting things about me. The cave part is all true, though.)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

So you are going to buy a cave? Or no. I'm confused. Aren't caves cold? And there's so running water or DSL. This does not seem good to me.

[deepsix.livejournal.com]

I like spinach! And I'm a fraternal twin.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You forgot to mention that you're going to write OC fic. *nods head*

Yes, you are.

Me

[bluesheart.livejournal.com]

Hmm... a fact about me.. My SO found out I read slash when he was fixing my computer and while transferring my files found my stories. Yeah I was mortified since it was my guilty pleasure. He just laughed, he said what every makes you happy.

Re: Me

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Your SO rocks. Keep him.

My only opinion about spinach is that it's healthier than iceberg lettuce.

Today I confiscated one Palm Pilot, one bag of chips, and one print-out of porn. And taught the usage of commas.

Pet peeve: people who say "ideals" when they mean "ideas".

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Iceburg lettuce is like water. Romaine is much better. *nods head*

Do you get to keep all the stuff you confiscate, cos dude, that'd be cool?

[philexos.livejournal.com]

I can't run. My knees are just bone rubbing together. *heh*

TMI?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Is this what they called knock kneed? Inquiring minds want to know.

[jennifus.livejournal.com]

My personal goal is to have a baby by the time I'm 22. Which gives me a little over 2 years to find someone who isn't a complete asshat to father it. Wee!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Bloody hell, darling, why? There's so much to do in the world, don't you want to wait a while?

[142978.livejournal.com]

Well, right now I'm a leetle bit doped up from painkillers perscribed by my dentist for the gaping holes left in my mouth from my wisdom teeth, which I had taken out this morning.

In other news, I lust for Orlando Bloom's ankles, especially the right, which I have taken upon myself to name Bill (the left is called Ted).

And, yes, T.S. Eliot is my sooper sekrit boifrend.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oooh drugs. Good drugs. Have you drooled on yourself yet? Also, what do you guys see in Orlando Bloom, please, tell me. I so don't see it.

[142978.livejournal.com]

eep, sorry, my computer's an ass.

[ilexa.livejournal.com]

I have been teaching myself for years to be ambidexterous because (a) I thought it would be cool to do and (b) somebody told me I couldn't.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You can teach yourself anything with enough will and fortitude, don't let anybody tell you differently.

[queen-geek.livejournal.com]

Hi! *waves* I'm Amy. I'm a second-year English major/Theatre Arts minor in Hamilton, Ontario. I'm a geek, (thus the screen name) and a vegetarian. Spinach is good, though I'm not sure if it's my favourite vegetable. I think mushrooms win in that category. Although mushrooms, spinach and feta omelettes are the best things ever... Um. My favourite book is The Giver by Lois Lowery - I read it in grade seven for the first time and i think I've read it thirty times since then. I like all sorts of music and all sorts of people and dancing in the rain. When it's warm. Cold rain, not so much. I think vampires are the coolest supernatural creatures (beating out warewolves, hags, and even Severus Snape) and I want to be an imp in my next life.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I don't like feta, but I love mushrooms. Mushrooms rock. What's it like in Hamilton?

[morceau.livejournal.com]

Howdy. My default setting is to lurk, but I'm trying to kick the habit. I signed up for your LJ because your SV and OC writing is so good. Thanks!

One thing about me? I love movies and TV. I’m really good at playing the who-was-that-guy-in-that-movie-that-one-time game.
