Because I must - it is written, so shall it be

Note: never ever bet against tisana.

No guarantees results won't be random, boring, or repeated.

Comment and ...
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.

If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written.

(Note that the post and replies are public.)

Comments

[mizarchivist]

comment.
My list will not resemble your list, though. The morph is important

[drwex]

Of all the people who might reply you are in some ways an easy start for me. #7 is hard, though.

1. You have a pet homeless person
2. "Hero of Canton"
3. Applesauce flavor, preferably your applesauce
4. "It's an airplane!"
5. Mmm, the clearest isn't something I'd like to put in a public comment, so let's go with the memory of you telling a story at a party (was it Jay's party?) because that's my first memory of you-as-you.
6. Badger
7. Do you have a moment in your mind when you feel you'll have to draw a line and say "kids now or never?"

*tag*

[mizarchivist]

1. *blink* huh. I do. He needs to get off his ass re: food stamps, too. hmph
2. :)
3. *bows* Yay apple season!
4. *snarf!!*
7. I'm not 35 yet, which is the nebuous future point when I feel I might be ready. At 25, I thought 30... so, salt shaker required. Ask me again in a few years

[drwex]

#5 - aha, no. I believe it was a House of the Purple Tub party, now that I've been thinking about it. I can picture the room in which we sat but not enoug of the context around that room to place it for certain.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

I'm curious to hear your answers for me, but I won't post this in my journal, so feel free to ignore me. :)

[drwex]

Sorry, I am compelled by the power of tisana. If she grants an exception I'll do it.

[heinleinfan.livejournal.com]

OOOO...oooooo...me, me! Do me!

(You were just waiting for someone to say that, weren't you?)

[drwex]

Actually I've been waiting for _you_ to... ahem. Where was I...

1. Your accent appears less and less frequently in your speech these days, but your laugh hasn't changed.
2. 'Til Tuesday "Voices Carry" (ok this is something of a cheat because there isn't one that per se brings you to mind, but this one seems to fit).
3. Mint julep flavor
4. "No, _that_ was hitting on you. This is me asking you out."
5. Standing behind the Naughty Nurses' table at Arisia
6. Barn swallow
7. How do you (prefer to) make up after a big fight with someone?

[dpolicar]

I won't post this meme on my journal, because there's just too many people I wouldn't want to have to answer it for.

I'm interested in your answers, though.
So, ball's in your court.

If you'll accept "I'll post it in my journal filtered tightly to the people I'd be willing to answer it for" as a legitimate version of "post it on my journal" I'm willing to commit to that -- though no guarantee that it's a non-null set.

[drwex]

You people make your own lives too complicated. You don't need to tell me ahead of time that you aren't compelled. Is it a social fear of selfishness? Ah well, do as thou wilt - I'll count any reposting as good faith.

1. You're probably the "friend"est of all the "friends of E" I picked up.
2. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask
3. Spicy brains flavor
4. "Are you _always_ like that?" "Yes, but moreso around him."
5. I remember the first time you brought Paulo to one of steve's parties and were introducing him around. I don't think you had been (regularly) dating anyone else during the time I'd known you.
6. Beaver
7. What sport(s) did you play pre-college?

[heinleinfan.livejournal.com]

#4 - *snarf my coffee* I had forgotten about that.

#7 - Um, as for how I prefer to make up, well...usually just by talking rationally. That's really *why* the fights end anyway, I suppose, so it may not count as a makeup. But, if a fight ends *good* it is because after a day or two there is then productive, rational conversation that really goes somewhere. And the conversation often goes far beyond the real topic anway, as if...here we are in this really good conversation space and once we've talked out the problem, oh hell, let's just keep going.

And then lots of "I love you's"

[dpolicar]

(shrug) I prefer to put cards on the table up-front, at least if there's no strong benefit to not doing so. Simplifies my life.

Re: 5 - Yeah, Paulo's the only person I've dated regularly (if that's the right word) since I've known you.
Re: 7 - You mean like athletic sports? None, really. I played soccer during grade school recess, but not in any serious way.

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

-Yes, please.

[drwex]

1. Your facial expressions very rarely reflect your moods.
2. "You're So Vain"
3. Babes-in-chainmail flavored
4. "No, we really should _not_ get that on a T shirt."
5. You in mid-puppy-pile at one of the L-S parties.
6. Bald eagle
7. How many children do you want to father?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Wow, I never took you for such a sub.

[woodwardiocom.livejournal.com]

2. "You're So Vain"

-Don't be silly. Carly adores me.

7. How many children do you want to father?

-That's a subject of some negotiation. If I'd gotten a family started earlier, my answer might have been larger.

[drwex]

There is much we have never discussed, not limited to the power of gorgeous redheads to compel me. However, in this case, it's a matter of sticking to my word. To wit, I said that if she could make one of the answers, I'd follow the rules. She did and I feel I should keep to my end of the bargain.

[cereselle.livejournal.com]

*bounces* Oh me oh me oh me!

[drwex]

1. I think you're the shortest lawyer I know.
2. "Doe Re Mi" (because "Elle, my dear" starts a perfect filk)
3. Mountains-of-fabric flavor
4. Private lessons
5. Mmm, hurried dinners at Worldcon
6. Bunny rabbit
7. When you imagine your ideal physical self-shape, what does it look like?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Psst, o friend of Tom: You have been nominated as a Hunk of Hanukkah. I wish to make you aware of this. Do you accept your nomination?

--'song
who you made go *splorfle* in a Tom-post

(You may do the meme-thing on me if you wish, but I suspect it'd be largely hypothetical!)

[drwex]

Yes, I've been informed. My beloved (and clearly insane) wife nominated me. As I've no overinflated opinion of my physique, no, I doubt I'll accept.

And yeah, the meme thing would be far too hypothetical.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Aw, but Tom thinks you're cute! Or, rather, he thinks that people think or will think you're cute.

*blink* Got lost in the tangles there.

Ah, well. I'll just have to wait to find out what you look like.

[drwex]

I've been remarkably effective at preventing pictures of myself leaking out into the wild. I'm pretty sure that mangotseen, sunspiral and dr_memory all have some online but darned if I can find any right this sec. And Tom's pretty cute, too.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Tom's gorgeous. But I'm thoroughly biased.

Never were any pictures of me online until fairly recently; I have a dear friend who's a photographer, and another friend who encouraged me to get my picture taken for self-image purposes, And now, lo, there are pictures. And I am beginning to edge into being comfortable.

[sweetmmeblue.livejournal.com]

I clearly am not insane. I married you.

OK, there's the whole bit about "proving the other guy's case for him."
