[yhlee.livejournal.com]

I'll reciprocate if you like.

Pick me! :)

1. I'm so impressed that you managed to read Ulysses! Never could get through it...

2. The Joy of Cooking! Ok, it's not a song/movie/tv show, but still. Yay for cookies! That was actually the first time I had oatmeal-chocolate-chip cookies, and it was of the good.

3. Kids reading LJ ;).

4. Hrm. I'm not sure actually... I think probably from the very first few months I was on LJ?

5. Eh. Ok, this is hard. A robin or other cheerful bird.

6. How did you find AtPO?

[oyceter]

1. Vidbunnies on crack and breeding like crazy!

Ok, that was really random.

2. Nellie McKay. You have corrupted my brain.

3. Voodoo paper doll pickle jars.

4. Er. I don't really remember, actually, but for a non-first significant memory, finally being able to meet you for the first time!

5. A crow, still, even though you use many more icons now.

6. How did you get interested in music?

Ooo, reciprocation is always welcome ^_^.

[oyceter]

1. I'm still jealous that you get to eat home-cooked Chinese food =(.

2. Fruits Basket, a) because you sent it to me and b) because you seem like the type of person who would live in it. Uh. I meant the niceness part, not the turning-into-a-zodiac-animal part.

3. Anne Bishop cavemen.

4. Being really scared that you'd be mad at me because I borrowed the third Prydain book from C. who borrowed it from you and ended up either losing it and dropping it in the bathtub.

5. Wombats!

6. Eh, stupid question, but are you still living in Hsinchu? Or Taipei now?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D

[oyceter]

1. Yay! It's so nice to see other people excited about the Rent movie too!

2. Six Feet Under, because you post about it a lot. Not because you are dead. Obviously.

3. Dogs sleeping in rat piles.

4. AtPO and reading your amazing "I didn't like 'Him'" post. Actually, I do remember your other posts, but that one in particular stuck in my mind ;).

5. A big, huggy teddy bear.

6. Ooo, are you still working with the group who put on "Into the Woods"?

[ann1962]

That was actually the first time I had oatmeal-chocolate-chip cookies,

Wow, really? My job is done! And thanks. I will be doing another baking in the next few weeks so stay tuned!

I have tried to exactly remember how I stumbled upon it. We purchased our computer in Fall 2001 and I think it was in early to mid '02 when I was watching Buffy more regularly and just had to find out more about it. Discuss it. I found Masq's site (a yahoo link is what we decided it must have been) and loved reading through that. But internet unsavvy I was, so I didn't click on the discussion board for some time. After that there was no turning back. I lurked for a very long time, but eventually posted.

1. I think our Evil White Overlords should meet up, although mine is a stuffed dog with glasses, so not quite as functional as yours! On a second thought, that could be a bad idea leading to world domination and people being chained to their cubicles with indie music.

2. Utena, just for the meta, fairy tales, gender-bending, on crack goodness.

3. Manga scholarship is also on crack. But fun anyway!

4. You were still Melymbrosia and running mutant_allies. I can't even remember anything specific, except once you posted a link to my post on your LJ and I was totally amazed that you even read my LJ!

5. Stitch! Er, not an animal per se, but... cute, fuzzy blue alien?

6. Um, sort of awkward question, but what do you do at work? (understandable if you don't want to answer)

[qiihoskeh]

Bored, huh? OK I'll add my name to the list: Jeff

BTW I posted a version of this meme to my journal a few weeks ago. No responses, which may be a Good Thing. Although in your case I can at least come up with an animal.

Me me me me me!

hee hee sigh... no home cooked chinese food for me :_; now it's home cooked ramen with eggs and scallion! Hee hee, I actually guessed three of your six answers! that just ended up making my reply harder, becuase I can't say "Anne Bishop" anymore! Hrm for your question, Home home is in hsinchu, but my parents have a dorm in Taipei! at least till the next election anyway.

1. I think you are much stronger than you realize.

2. Sandman! okay, it's a comic book, but I figured it's not too different :P

3. At college, the only sure way of seeing you was traveling 18 hours, but sometimes i would get lucky and see you in 15 minutes! joy!

4. I have a lot of smaller memories, but I think the most significant was when i was in 12th grade and you came to find me in my classroom.

5. puppies! no wait.... rats! AHHH!

6. What do you dream of?

[oyceter]

1. I adore your bodice.
2. Actually, none of the above, but now I will forever associate you with the World Spirit deck.
3. Little smiley face sunburns.
4. Looking for a girl with Lisa Loeb glasses and a really long scarf in SF ^_^.
5. A sparrow, just because you seem bright and cheerful.
6. Why law school?

[oyceter]

1. I am fascinated by the experiments with tones and different inking pens.
2. Saiyuki
3. Animal BPAL reviews!
4. Reading your really cool manga panel and art analyses!
5. A large jumping frog the size of Texas. Uh, I seriously hope I remember right and that was actually your journal title, otherwise that makes no sense at all!
6. How'd you start drawing?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

XD

How'd I start drawing? Not entirely sure - it's sort of always been there. I remember taking art classes when I was ten. In highschool, I thought I was going to be a professional artist, and entered undergrad as an art major. After the first semester, I ran screaming for Anthropology after I realized I hated everybody in the art department. I did some costuming, web design, and photography over the next few years, but didn't get back into art itself until I, er, obtained Photoshop 2 and started experimenting with blends and things. Put them into a local con's art show, sold some, realized I could actually do this sort of thing and get paid for it, drew a short comic for a newsletter than morphed into a webcomic, started taking figure drawing classes, moved to Dallas and bought a graphic tablet, and have been doing this stuff ever since.

And there you have it. My ENTIRE EVOLUTION as an artist. XD

[oyceter]

1. Wow, you compose! I am ever impressed by that.

2. LotR, for the linguistics.

3. Waiting to ambush yhlee at Norwescon.

4. See #3 ;).

5. Er. Chipmunk? No idea why, it was just the first thing that popped into mind.

6. How'd you get started with linguistics?

[oyceter]

1. Yay for TCK-ness and good fooding!

2. Dar Williams' cover of "Better Things," because I love it and got it from you and because I can imagine you saying things like that to other people.

3. The only thing better than police blotters are escaped animals.

4. I think it was a comment on Utena, and I was so glad that someone else had seen it!

5. Ratties!

6. What was working with the Henson Company like?

[oyceter]

1. You always coordinate! It is quite nifty ^_^.

2. The Emperor's New Groove. Yay llamas!

3. Don't listen to the evil Kronk voice! Or alternately, big voices of doom and ratty looks of panic.

4. Your post on the niftiness of two and being glad you were posting in LJ, and then meeting you in Starbucks and hoping you didn't think my long jean skirt was weird.

5. No animals, actually, because you don't seem to be much of a pet person. Except rats. Which is good ;).

6. Um. How'd your family end up with a place in Canada?

[oyceter]

w00t! More cookies!

I ended up lurking on the board for ages but never really emerging until LJ.

[oyceter]

Hee!

I came to find you in your classroom? Wah, I don't remember this at all =(.

I dream of weird things like being late to work and dreaming that I'm dreaming.

[oyceter]

Oh cool!

Heh, I apparently don't go for the short and easy questions....

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

i've always thought of # as my theme song, though I actually like the original version (by the Kinks) better.

I really enjoying working for the Company, (that sounds like I was a CIA agent) right up to the point when I achieved my big ambition and did a lateral transfer from development (ie, reading fantasy and kids' books and writing reports on them) to being a staff writer on a TV show ("The Fearing Mind') and discovered that being a staff writer kind of sucks. However, I have recently returned to pitching stuff to them again, because i think being a show creator would not suck at all.

There is a twelve-foot Kermit doffing his cap over the front gate, a sleazy strip bar across the street, and much cool memorabilia inside. Small pets are allowed on the premises, and a couple people take their chihuahuas to work.

[qiihoskeh]

1. Unfortunately, I haven't been doing much of this the last 20 years.
2. Everybody says LotR which, awkwardly, I haven't read/seen.
3. Ambush!? That makes it sound like the French and Indian War! What tribes are we supposed to be? Anyway, YHL survived it.
4. ditto
5. not something nocturnal like an owl or cockroach? or something overweight? Hmmmm. I guess I'm well off with chipmonk.
6. I'm not sure. I read something when I was a teenager, then later a few other things ... language construction didn't become a real obsession until a few years ago.

[oyceter]

Twelve-feet Kermits are always of the good.

I'm irritated because I have the Dar Williams cover and the Fountains of Wayne cover of "Better Things," but not the original! But yeah, I really love that song, thanks for introducing me to it!
