3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you.
4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.

Date: 2006-06-14 12:02 am (UTC)1. I was offended by your policy on LJ cuts, until Marilee explained to me that you actually actively didn't want people reading. Then I thought it made sense.
2. I have no idea.
3. A sort of purple, like a Glosette Raisins box.
4. I like how at concerts you stand very still as everyone else is dancing. It made me feel (as a mostly-not-a-dancer) less alone.
5. You weren't so much a person I have a first memory of; you just gradually were there, one of the standard younger occupants of the multimedia room. I remember being briefly tempted by your offer to sell me a laptop.
6. A chipmunk?
7. I can't think of anything at the moment. Maybe I'll find something later.

Date: 2006-06-14 02:26 am (UTC)2. The next time that Joshlamont comes in to IRC, treat him as though he is a king.
3. Grey-green, probably because of your icon.
4. You have a consistancy to you; you stick around.
5. I know that I was aware of you before then, but the first memory that I still have is the first time you mentioned what my likely response would be in a thread where I hadn't yet appeared. I was inordinately pleased; "They are learning to fear me," I thought.
6. An... Octopus.
7. What should I ask you?

Date: 2006-06-14 03:27 am (UTC)1. When I introduced myself to you at Otakon, you (mildly but effectively) ran away!
2. If I ever introduce myself to you again, do not run away.
3. A pale yellow. I do not know why.
4. Let's talk about Otakon some more!: I remember that I liked your panel.
5. During that year-long period or so where I had nothing to do with any Megatokyan community save #waitility, you were one of the new people that others (more attentive) would occasionally mention.
6. A... Jellyfish. (No, it's good! They're luminous.)
7. Question deferred.

3. Sort of a deep pink.
4. When I heard your voice today, it made me feel warm. Even when I'm hearing it a lot, I think, it never stops doing that; I just get used to the feeling.
5. We have answered this question so many times.
6. I'm going to make you an otter today.
7. What can change the nature of a man?

Date: 2006-06-14 06:16 am (UTC)2. Apparently, tomorrow is the last day. :( I have literally three places to be that night.
I'll probably get another chance. Maybe. Someday.
3. Didn't it used to be a sort of sunsetty 'fireflower' thing?
4. I should be vacuous and inattentive all the time!
5. "Why does everyone spell this word wrong??"
6. Yay! I'm the furriest creature in the world! And I use my belly for a table! And I'm adorable! And...mean!
7. Realizing he's a son of God. (And is of infinite worth, and should act like it, and should learn more, &c.)

Date: 2006-06-14 07:37 pm (UTC)2. It's difficult to know what you have and haven't done before. Write a story?
3. Forest green.
4. You are very prolific!
5. I know I encountered your name before, but my first memory of you is probably meeting you in the hotel room at Otakon '04. This is still, I think, the only occasion on which we've talked in realtime.
6. Some clever bird of prey.
7. Did we ever interact in the forums? I have no idea whether I remember you under another name.
or
If the prose in The Fionavar Tapestry (apparently) doesn't work for me, is it worth trying other Kay?
-Garran
no subject
Date: 2006-06-14 09:27 pm (UTC)7. I think we did - I posted under 'Dani,' with the trademark "Erika-Ass" icon as demonstrated here.
As for Kay...try The Lions of Al-Rassan or the Constantinople books - if that doesn't do it for you, skip the rest of his stuff.

3. Light tan.
4. You're very friendly.
5. My clearest is probably the way you started laughing, that time I called you to help you wake up for class.
6. A ferret.
7. How did you meet Shannon? (I think that I've asked you this before, but I forget.)

Date: 2006-06-17 07:50 am (UTC)5. You make my heart sing.
7. At IVCF at the University of Windsor. Specifically, while wallflowering at a dance event, commenting on the algorythmic nature of music and dance moves.

Date: 2006-06-15 07:52 am (UTC)2. Convince someone other than you or I to make a relevant post to cyanmix.
3. Deep brown.
4. You communicate very deftly.
5. I remember you standing on the steps in front of Windsor House one day, playing your fiddle, all glasses and grinning and long straight hair, and asking someone and finding out that you were Ryan's sister. Then I saw you and spoke to you on several occasions more without actually learning your name.
6. Okay, okay, an alligator.
7. I don't have a good one. I guess I can ask how it was that you first became involved with your instrument.

Date: 2006-06-15 08:04 pm (UTC)7. = Legend has it that I saw Nigel Kennedy perform on TV when I was three, was instantly enamoured and demanded a violin of my own. I was too young to remember for myself the moment of first desire, but I do know that I bugged my parents for a fiddle for about 6 months and when I was three-and-a-half (such distinctions matter at that age!:)) they relented and got me my first violin and some lessons. 'S been a while.
Little known fact - I privately celebrate my "fiddle anniversary" every year. ^_^;;

Date: 2006-06-15 07:53 am (UTC)2. Give me some M&Ms.
3. Green. FOR SOME REASON. Also the blue colour of that sweatshirt you used to wear.
4. You once used the spelling 'traphphic'. It made me happy.
5. I don't remember the first time I met you, but I remember that you used to terrorize Keri, which impressed me, because I found Keri pretty intimidating. One time, you tied her wrists together with her watch.
6. A brown bear.
7. Did anyone ever solve that distributed computing thing that Team West was involved in?
-Andy H.
no subject
Date: 2006-06-16 05:18 am (UTC)4. Yay! I do like that spelling, it made me happy when I thought of it. I think I more frequently spell it as 'traphic' though.
5. Yes, we had quite an .. intimidation circle going on there, didn't we. Also, I think it might have been David's watch, 'cause the other watches we tried were too small.
7. Yes, it was solved, but not by Team West. I don't really remember much more about who solved it though.

3. Purple.
4. Frequently I laugh at you.
5. I first saw you on the ferry to Strathcona, where until you were introduced I thought that you were some adult stranger who just happened to be sitting nearby. Later, we bonded over ideas for Alex's CRPG. (Before that, of course, I knew of you from anecdotes and, briefly, the internet.)
6. "Some impossible tree sloth!"
7. I can't think of anything.

3. Chrome.
4. I am entertained by your desperate enthusiasms.
5. Others were referring to Men of L33t, a lot, well before I met you or knew anything else about you.
6. A mongoose.
7. Why do you log on to azaphrael so often, if you don't intend to come in?

3. Salmon pink.
4. You seem to have a firm and pervasive sense of play.
5. You were touring the halls with Miranda, and when I happened upon the two of you she introduced you as her sister, and me as 'an amazing actor'. Afterwards, I thought, "When has she ever seen me acting?", and couldn't decide if I'd been insulted.
6. A... Raccoon?
7. "The flipping x"?

3. Dark orange.
4. You have a kind of dry reasonableness to you that I appreciate.
5. I can't remember when I first became aware of you; my first clear memory is probably that thread where you and Ancestral Hamster confessed to feeling inadequate next to us longer established fellows, and I felt astonished that anyone could think of me like I thought of smurd.
6. Flying fish.
7. So, how did you get into writing poetry?

5. I have no idea how long I've known of you. I do remember you being there the one of the first times I came into #waitility, which must have been the first realtime.
6. Hmmmm. A whale.
7. Nothing jumps to mind.

3. Your icon wants me to say 'bright yellow', but I think it's light blue.
4. You are a Diana Wynne Jones fan, so I approve of the fact that you have impeccable taste and breeding.
5. I remember that, like a fool, I did not actually say, "It's currently the future!"
6. A hummingbird.
7. I'd ask you to tell me an embarrassing story about Rachel, but I think she's told me most of them already.

3. Royal purple.
4. You seem very thoughtful. Also, I like that you're the last person I need to come up with a compliment on the spot for! This game was hard (a matter of my temperament, not a reflection on those who responded).
5. I remember your posting in my Sad Girl In Snow (verse) thread; I think that was my first encounter with you.
6. A porpoise.
7. What are you doing in terms of your schooling, now?
