An interesting meme

[lar_laughs]

Gacked from sabersailor

You comment, and I'll tell you:

1. Something I'll learn about you by looking at your LJ page for 13 seconds.
2. Which color you remind me of.
3. My first memory of you.
4. What TV character you remind me of.
5. Ask you something I've always wondered about you, and your answer has to be as vague as possible to keep the suspense.
6. My favorite thing about you.
7. Give you a weird nickname.
8. What's the last song I've listened to (I'm going to add that reminds me of you).
9. Challenge you to post this on your journal (only if you want to).

Oh oh oh! I love these! Even though the last one I put on my livejournal lead to my writing essays about people... :B

1. You're going to need to update your profile page again soon!
2. Green! Every shade!
3. You liked my Megan/Morag story! I will always remember that! People who like my lesser known/lesser thought of characters are amoung my favorites!
4. Tina Cohen-Chang from Glee. She doesn't think that she deserves to be one of the "stars" of the group but she's usually the reason the group's ideas work out. She's one of those people that is important because she doesn't think she's important.
5. What do you want to be when you grow up?
6. You are Kiwi and you make me smile and when you fall back two steps, you always manage to get yourself three steps forward in no time flat.
7. You already have so many! I'm going to go with SAREN because I love that name and it makes me think of your email!
8. Why are you not in the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0eA_QKBhX8&feature=fvst)?
9. Do it! Come on, you know you want to!

Uhoh. What am I going to have to update on my profile page? :X

Thank you for the green! I love green!

Of course I LOVED your Megan/Morag story. (:

I nearly cried when I read what you wrote about Tina/me. I feel selfish for needing to hear things like that right now, but it's true, and hearing that from you warmed me to the bones - thank you.

When I grow up I want to be an activist...against the term 'growing up', because there will be no growing up for me!

I have the same gratitude for what you have expressed about my two-step-three-step dance. I just hope that this time I can pull it off again; I fear I might have fallen during my steps back. Hopefully it will teach me to fly in the end?

Saren? Smiles - I love it!

I love the Uke orchestra of Great Britain. :P Maybe some day! Giggles.

Thank you so much!

Aren't you going into your third year of school?

[cranky--crocus.livejournal.com]

Ugh right. Blech. That will make it so official! :P

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

You don't have to do it right away!

[cranky--crocus.livejournal.com]

I have difficulty with inflection and tone over the Internet. Are you peeved with me; have I done something that miffs you? If I have, I'm sorry. If I'm just being hypersensitive and silly, I'm sorry for that too.

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

I think the inflection would be: you don't HAVE to do it RIGHT now.

As in... you'll be a third year for a whole year. If you don't want to change it right now and make it official, you don't have to. If you wanted, you could be a second year, according to your journal, for the rest of your life.

Kind of like how I'll always have the same weight on my driver's license that I had when I first got it. They don't make you change it!

I know you're having a rough time and I don't mean to add to it. Really, I don't. I'm very seldom irritated and if I am, you probably won't hear from me. If you hear from me, it's all good. Does that make you feel better?

That was a poor choice in icon. I was using it in a slightly funny way for your life right now. It was a poor choice and I'm sorry. That's not how I feel! How about this icon?

YOU ARE AWESOME!

YOU CAN DO THIS!

You've only gone two steps back. Those three steps forward are coming soon. Just wait and watch for them.

Ah. I see the problem here. I meant mine entirely in jest! Which would be difficult to pick up on, given that I have been angsting over it, I know, haha. Kelly cheered me up considerably this evening and that was the first joke I cracked about being a final-year student. I can understand it being taken a bit more seriously than I had intended. (:

(Side point: they have weight on driver's licenses?! I completely missed this! Mine just has my height - which is considerably more embarrassing than my weight sometimes, giggles.)

You're not really adding to it. If you were adding to it, I would probably take the same route as your irritation - by not responding, not feeling up to clarifying at all. Asking means I care about the response and am not hurt beyond caring. It does make me feel better - thank you!

To be honest, I didn't glance at the icon. I shall have to give it a look and remember it is in jest. (: I love this icon.

I think I remember you mentioning you hadn't seen Rizzoli & Isles yet, but I'm hoping you do, so I'll express it in terms of that. Sometimes I feel like Maura would feel on the Internet - at a loss for the meaning of statements without facial musculature, bodily reactions and voice tone to guide the way. The Internet just makes things difficult, so I like to clarify before I get hurt. (: Thank you for responding.

It's a show I need to see, for sure! With any luck, it's one I'll catch on either Hulu or Netflix (when it comes out there) but I'm also hoping they show endless reruns of it since TNT is so good at that.

[cranky--crocus.livejournal.com]

I love your icon (I am taking care to look now :P ). I have never actually seen any TNT television, but yes, I hope they show reruns! Should be relatively easy to catch up on since there are only 10 episodes. I hope you enjoy it!

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

And I did get the joking of your post! Mine was something similar in tone. It would have worked better in person, you're right.

[cranky--crocus.livejournal.com]

Oh, the Internet: such a place to stumble about making a fool of myself. :P I think that's why I took on using emoticons so often, so people would know an approximation of my tone/expression! :B (Not that I have buck teeth, as that one would suggest.)

So much works better in person. But sometimes, in-person conversations would work better online! Strange, that. Wish there was a hand guide.
