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.

*grin* I like spinach.

[tobymalfoy.livejournal.com]

I hate spinach. Well, unless it's in pie, quiche or sometimes on pizza.

Uhh, yeah. *steals meme*

[flyingtapes.livejournal.com]

Like I told obsessedmuch: I live in Kentucky and I write my papers on examples from the Buffyverse.

And I friended you 'cause you write OC fic that bloody scorches my screen.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Tell me about Kentucky, what's it like?

[quinnponders.livejournal.com]

I don't like spinach unless it appears in dip form, then again, most things are better in dip form. Except people. Dippy people are of the bad. But dipping people *in* dip is of the good. You'll have to excuse me, I will be seeing Ryan Adams in just over 4 hours and my brain has melted from the excitement. Carry on.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Die bitch, die! Ahem, yes, just kidding. How was it, tell me all about it. What was he wearing? What'd he say? What'd he sing?

[queenofalostart.livejournal.com]

Here's something that you wouldn't know about me, as it's not fannish or squee-worthy: I can. Jams and preserves. Peach and berry, mostly

Random, eh? ;)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Do you sell them? How does it work? Tell me about it, I know nothing about making preserves. Is it time consuming? Inquiring minds want to know.

[paradise-city.livejournal.com]

I lurk. I think I friended you because I like your fic, though I'm not really sure. I have a complete and utter goldfish memory.

But that wasn't the random thing I thought I'd post. Instead, I'll admit that I'm horrid with directions. Horrid, horrid, horrid. I don't know west from east from south, have no concept of how far a mile is, and tend to get lost. A lot.

Nifty post. :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Perhaps a membership to AAA for Christmas is a good idea?

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

I don't like spinach. Also? Sometimes I am not very bright and easily confused. ;)

I dig your interesting fic pairings. I believe it was some Iceman/Pyro fic that led me here. But I could be mistaken.

There is nothing interesting about me. I have an accent fetish? That's about it.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I have an accent fetish?

Me too! Only kinda though. Just for the United Kingdom (read: Wales/Ireland/Scotland/England).

All about me!

[cluelessinlife.livejournal.com]

Hi!
Here is an interesting thing about me:...thinking...
Hmmm I fall off the sidewalk a lot. It's now a running joke. I love archaeology and making conversation jumps that confuse everyone but me.
I love your fics!

Re: All about me!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Hmmm I fall off the sidewalk a lot. It's now a running joke.

Is this a drunken thing, because you know sidewalks when you're drunk are hazardous.

I will strive to make no mention of food at all in this comment. :) And, er, my favorite book is Melanie Thernstrom's The Dead Girl (http://www.oceanstar.com/true-crime/tcreviews-t.htm) and it's out of print, so every time I go to used bookstores I look for it, and I buy every copy I see and then give it to, well, everyone I know and like. I think I've bought and given away over 20 copies of the book. That's sort of weird and, hey, does not involve food!

Okay, fine, I like spinach.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

You guys and the spinach are out of control.

[barely-bean.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have deep spinach issues. When I was litte I used to not eat any vegetables at all. Instead, I'd pick out every tiny pea or carrot or whatever, and line them up around my dish. I don't do that anymore, but my mom is still convinced I don't somehow eat my vegetables.

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

Dude... if I sneak the veggies off my plate and send them your way, would you eat mine, too? I hate vegetables. *g*

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I'm not sure if you know me, but hi! *g*

Let's see... something about me... well, you know, very few people are aware of this, but I happened to have this huge, nagging enduring love for Michael Rosenbaum.

Don't spread that around too much, eh?


Oh, also: I love peanut butter, but I hate peanuts.

[ladysorka]

I also love peanut butter but hate peanuts.

It confuses a lot of people. *s*

[luckychance.livejournal.com]

I enjoy reading slash. Can't write worth a damn, but enjoy reading it. It freaks my more normal friends, so, of course, it's my way of being an original. :)

[runpunkrun]

I'm here for the Smallville and the Warrior Angel and sometimes the Harry Potter. It also seems we share an interest in Michael Chabon.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The only thing of his I've ever actually read is Kavalier and Clay, and I'm kind of afraid to read anything else lest it not measure up.

[tiny-snapdragon.livejournal.com]

I friended you because I was absolutely addicted to your Iceman/Pyro fics; then I found out that I've actually read like, a million of your Smallville stories, too. So I knew you were a keeper. ;)

And now, something about me. Hmm... I'm addicted to "softcore" body modification. I've got six earrings, a navel ring, an eyebrow ring and I'll soon have a lip ring. I've also got a decent sized tattoo on my back.

Which one hurt the most at the time? Which one hurt the most later?

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Up until a couple of years ago, I had a reputation amongst my friends for leaving my bras in inappropriate places.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Tell me more.

[lalejandra.livejournal.com]

I like spinach, especially in spicy black bean soup.

I hate cell phones (but I have one), and I love Marilyn Monroe's thighs, and I am obsessed with checking my email every five minutes.

Word to everything you just said.

[wyoluvr.livejournal.com]

i did not drink or use recreational (define as you will) drugs until well after college. i'm a late-bloomer.

[phineasjones.livejournal.com]

woo! me too. i still don't use recreational drugs. but a few years after graduating, i went back to my college (to visit camillafarfalla) and drank so much at a party/dance that i vomitted in the campus center bathroom and lay around on the floor of said bathroom (where i was seen by my future girlfried) until public safety officers helped me back to camilla's room.

two days later i still had a hangover. i also had a huge hicky i couldn't remember getting but had to cover with a scarf while at work - since i was dating a guy at work and did not want to have to come up with an explanation. yeah.

i learned my lesson and have never been that drunk since.

[edigo.livejournal.com]

doo dee doo da.

i:

- am more of a visual than a textual person. meaning, i really like writing, but my thing is dealing with images. painting, drawing, collaging.
- love to read. it is an intrinsic part of me, like, say, my skin. there is nothing like the smell and feel of a new book, and nothing like the warmth of an old and loved one.
- am a sucker for your fanfiction. your stories are realistic, and solid, and plausible, and refreshing, and different, and i could just roll naked around in them.
- don't really like spinach.
- love chocolate, though. and pasta.
- will make you iconses soon.
- really would like to talk more with you.

ba da bing.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Chocolate is the fifth food group. Seriously.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

I often feel like I should have been living large in the Roaring Twenties, but then I remember that they didn't have antibiotics and am glad I live in the now.

I like spinach and vegetables in general, except for raw tomatoes and any form of eggplant.

I identify entirely too much with Ryan.

And I friended you because I was checking your LJ on a daily basis anyway and I thought I should reduce my mousing strain.

This made me laugh a lot. But in the good way.

[logovo.livejournal.com]

I think I qualify as a lurker :)

Hello!
*waves*

Well, I'm from Tijuana, Mexico and have been online for many, many moons now, at least on internet time. Great big geek, into Star Wars and X-Files for the longest time, that is until they both broke my heart with baaad ideas from their creators. I long for Children of Dune fanfic *points at icon* but now pretty happy with other fandoms.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Did you grow up in Tijuana, what was that like? I've never been; I am very curious. I've never actually seen Children of the Dune, but I totally want to.

[poor-choices.livejournal.com]

Everytime there's a way something can be misread so it's dirty or dodgy, I misread it in that way. So I thought your conclusion to this message was that you were high, which came out of nowhere, as I saw it. But then I figured it you were high, coherant thought wouldn't be at the top of your to-do list, anyway.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*dies*

I am so known for that, too, and I assure you if I had been high, which I wasn't, and not that I've ever been high, no, of course not. But if I ever had been high, and knew what that was like, I would so not be coherant enough to write an LJ post.

[deeablo.livejournal.com]

I can fit my whole fist in my mouth.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I've read this three times and everytime I read it, I die laughing. That's like insane. Do you have a tiny hand or big mouth, or are we in TMI terrain?

[thepurpleswitch.livejournal.com]

I don't like guns, but I have a bit of a thing for them in fictional contexts.

Like, Scully? Or pretty much any L&O detective? With the straight arms and the bracing. Hell yes.

[wordhouse.livejournal.com]

Lurker. Just here for the fix. Fics.

I like flannel. I live in the desert. Two things that do not go together.

At work, I occasionally luck into advance copies of the OC from Fox and think of you.

[silveraspen]

I am suddenly all kinds of envious. :) You must have a really fun job.

[thatpyrogirl.livejournal.com]

Okay! Cool. My name is Nellie, I'm seventeen years old, I discovered your HP fanfic site about a year and a half ago, I think. I forgot about you for a while, but then I googled for OC fanfic, and found you again, and we've been having a blissful one-sided relationship ever since...

until now...

(dum dum dum) I have the world's oldest kitty, my website is nightmeadow.com, I too am a music elitist bitch, I never had a boyfriend. Chocolate is mummy's friend.

Boys are nothing but hassle, Nellie, you're really not missing out.

[rsiobhan.livejournal.com]

I'm obsessed with fashion, hate the colours brown and orange, and have only one friend who's a girl.

And I guess I count as a lurker, so, hi!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Fashion is brilliant, except for when it's not. I mean shoulder pads?
