cdaveComment to this post and I will:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. Then you do it! [![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
offensive_mango sez: you don't have to, really, but you might want to]
and reading some of the responses on her thread, I thought I'd pass this meme on, even if I've only met most of my LJ flist once or twice.
And a random thought on the law of unintended consequence.
Why are my glasses so smudged?
I only wear them when my eyes are tired, and that's when I tend to rub my eyes.
Just realised that after poking them for the second time today

Date: 2008-05-08 04:59 pm (UTC)You the first person I didn't know, whose blog I read. Found via comments on Bex's blog (I assume you've seen she's spawned now!)
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Gafitaing Christians, and settling ex-pats.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
Your range. You do the most incredible righteous indignation, followed by laughing at Paris Hilton, followed by a moving story about your own...
In fact scrap that. I most addmire your openness in your LJ. I'd love to emulate it.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
Bending your fingers back. I think that was the first post I saw you make on Bex blog, and you're still doing it :)
Also being surprised by your accent. Then being surprised by the surprise.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
How do you know so many local LJers in real life?
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
It's got to be the silly one:
But where did you get that anime one from. I've seen a few of them around.

Date: 2008-05-09 02:01 pm (UTC)Well iirc, I found your photoblog on the work intranet when I was looking at one of the many pages you'd written, and clicked back to your profile. I normally try and keep this blog as seperate as possible from work, but you're a nice bloke so I let you know I had one too, and there we are.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Macro photography. I love the depth of field in that sort of shot, and your're the only person I've ever known in real life, whose macro shots I've seen.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
Knowledge sharing. It sounds sad, and too work related, but I mean it as a complement. You have a way of explaining things in speech and text that just makes them stick. It makes you great to chat with.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
Hmm, that's harder than I thought it would be.
I was never on a project with you.
Don't recall anything outrageous happening at a binge.
I suppose I remember you disappearing, and it turning out you were on Mount Everest.
And that Bike lock box you couldn't get into for months (How did you finaly get that open).
And your occasion guest slot on Angelo Cam.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Where did the idea to go to Nepal come from, and did you know Matthew was on his way when you left?
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
Well I don't have a lot of choice, so I'm using your photoblog instead,
I really like that one.

Date: 2008-05-09 06:32 pm (UTC)Chris and I had been talking about doing a big trip like that before we had kids and lost the chance for a while. I was thinking Great Wall or Inca Trail and he came up with Everest. So, yes, when the trip was booked I knew Matthew was a possibility and when we went he was well and truly on the way.
Oh, and I got into the lock box by finally getting Kiran to get a decent key cut for it.

Date: 2008-05-09 03:09 pm (UTC)1. Tell you why I friended you.
When a zombie introduces you to a Norwegian who gives you a wormwood infused drink, you stop asking too many questions.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
When Neil Gaiman said he felt he'd found his tribe.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
You were fascinating to talk to, full of energy, and willing to be silly.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
Ah! I've just remembered why I was only in two rounds of wearwolf, I ran into you in the Candian Room, and had the last of their single malt.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
How did you get into Fandom?
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
Bonsai Kitten escapes!
Me! Me! Me!

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Well, it's got to Wiki's doesn't it.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
Your sense of irreverence and fun at work. The pig with speech bubble. Agnelo cam. I bet you had something to do with the monkey, and started a fair few of the rounds of applause.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
The calm a dignified manor you handled the abuse you got during the tache challenge ;)
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
How's the writing going? and what were you planning to write? short stories? Novels? Screen plays?
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
Re: Me! Me! Me!
Date: 2008-05-12 10:11 am (UTC)You too mysterious and intriguing to pass up.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
Doggerel, Graffiti, Memes
3. Tell you something I like about you.
You always feel free to speak your mind.

You surround me in London.
