Fairly frightening meme

[dreamer_easy]

If you comment...

1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
or, I will include an icon just for YOU in my reply)
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people. Ok, must is a little strong. But it would only be fair.

6. It's from 9 1/2 Minutes, that short film.
7. Ah, you're like me in two ways: (a) disabled by health problems and (b) giving yourself no credit for being able to write funny shit. Given much support and sufficient time I think you could write the all-time funniest Marxist fantasy novel ever.

Oooh, this will be interesting. I'd love to hear what you say about me.

[peeeeeeet.livejournal.com]

[amy-chesis.livejournal.com]

Heh, interesting! After this little meme has run its course you should put up the same questions in a new post and get everyone to reply to the same comments about you...

(reposting) and I did this one a while back.. =)

[gregmce.livejournal.com]

I'm doing it backwards. I'm putting Step 8 in other people's journals. Others can do 1-7 in response if they so wish. :)



1. Your grin is the most genuine smile I know.
2. Patty Larkin's "Inside Your Painting"
3. Just hang out over a sushi dinner.
4. "I am beautiful, am I not? ...nice plates!"
5. Sitting in Jon's parents tv room and thinking, "Wow, this is it."
6. "He saves my labour by his own approach." --As You Like It
7. Was there ever really a question about you two choosing to live in Sydney?

[jblum.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I can answer #7 at least!

Yes, there was serious question. We'd originally decided to do it the other way around, but I could see Kate getting more and more apprehensive about how limited she'd be up in Gaithersburg without a car, and having to walk everywhere, and oh God Washington in August, and quite frankly seeming heartbroken at the thought of leaving everything she knew behind. So I thought, hell, I loved Sydney when I was there for six months, and it'd be easier for me to move.

And as a result I've missed everyone up there terribly for years, and lost touch with far too many people... but I figure it was for the best.

Maybe someday we might still head back up that way for good -- assuming the entire city hasn't become one big mass of gridlock...

[gregmce.livejournal.com]

It's funny -- after being in Sydney all I could think was that there must've never been even a question as to where you two would end up living. Truly, one of the most inviting cities I've ever visited.

[kateorman.livejournal.com]

Our busses suck less than Gaithersburg's, that's for sure.

Meme me!

1. Your Monty Python approach to biology.
2. Ghostbusters.
3. A comic.
4. Here be Dead Gnoll's Eye Socket.
5. You and your brother in those top costumes - you as a slimed guy from Inferno and him as a mushroom monster from The Chase!
6.
7. How'd you learn to draw?

[drhoz.livejournal.com]

1. "All things dull and ugly, All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty, The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons, Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom.He made their horrid wings."

:)

2. "I collect spores, mould, and fungus" (actually, I used to. but they dont have as active a fungal society over here)

3. hmm. havent done one of them since "The Tiger That Wanted To Be Human".. no, I did "Furry Bodies" since then...

4. Yah.. eye for an eye indeed...

5. *grins* my Dad was less then pleased - we used most of his packaging tape for Ian's carnivorous mushroom costume. Of course, it was 'borrowed' from work in the first place...

6. *laughs* may I nab that icon?

[ikonsbykate.livejournal.com]

*Please* nab the ikon! :-)

One of Mark Steel's radio lectures, which shows up on Radio National from time to time, is about Charles Darwin and evolution. At one point, bouncing off Darwin's remark that the Ichneumonidae are unlikely to be the deliberate work of a beneficent God, Steel launches into a verse of "All Things Bright and Beautiful" specifically about the little blighters. I can't recall it off-hand, but I'm sure I have a recording around here somewhere...

[drhoz.livejournal.com]

not the Monty Python version then?

[pedanther]

No, it's specifically about the ichneumon wasp:

It lands on caterpillars
And eats them from inside
To make sure that the meat's fresh
It keeps the thing alive

All things bright etc.

7. practising for fun, mostly. altho I've never had life drawing classes, or anatomy lessons, which may explain my poor consistancy from frame to frame, and my dire skill with hands.. eye's I'm GREAT with, and some poses.. hands I'm just terrible at.
