meme

(no subject)

So I'm back, so to speak after an incredibly busy week with my mum visiting, and I'll probably update about that later.

Meanwhile, before my hiatus, I commented on this meme elsewhere, so I'd better reciprocate. *g*

So, you know the drill. Post below and I will:

1) Tell you why I friended you.
2) Associate you with a song/film.
3) Tell a random fact about me.
4) Tell a first memory about you.
5) Associate you with a fandom, or a character/pairing.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7) Show you my favorite userpic of yours.
8) In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ.

Uh, how did I miss this, considering I just answered yours to me! Weird.

If you've time, me?

And I never got the notif for this!

1) Tell you why I friended you.
Because we hooked up mainly with Hsu and Cass and began chatting from there and friended each other.
2) Associate you with a song/film.
There's two films that I think of with you, Lord of the Rings and Stormy Monday.
3) Tell a random fact about me.

4) Tell a first memory about you.
I think that would be through our pups, Terry and Brendan chatting.

5) Associate you with a fandom, or a character/pairing.
Lord of the Rings. Torchwood. Jack/Jack. R!Jack/Bilis *eg*. Cal/Finn.

6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
What possessed you to take on Cass without knowing the fandom? Not that I don't love that you did, but it was a very brave thing to do!!

7) Show you my favorite userpic of yours.
So many lovely ones....some nice Bean ones there and Eomer.
also,

And Ath likes the Peta ones. *g*

1) Tell you why I friended you.

Yeah, guess we owe these muses of ours something, hey?

2) Associate you with a song/film.

I get the Stormy Monday *g* - but LoTR? Am interested to know why?

3) Tell a random fact about me.

LOL! Well that was pretty... random?? ;)

4) Tell a first memory about you.
I think that would be through our pups, Terry and Brendan chatting.
Yup. I think they were - and I think Brendan remembers Terry mostly because, as he says, 'e was about the one bloke who didn't 'it on me!

5) Associate you with a fandom, or a character/pairing.
Lord of the Rings. Torchwood. Jack/Jack. R!Jack/Bilis *eg*. Cal/Finn.
Heee! I think R!Jack is getting pretty antsy, not having had any play now for a while and wondering where Bilis is and what he's up to! And Cal/Finn, really? I didn't think anyone would even remember those two!

6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.

I hated seeing your plotline being stonewalled, as such, and had already figured out the manipulation and deceit that was going on, so I figured I'd offer to help out, if you wanted. When you accepted I nearly fell over! And without you and Mara I don't think I could have done it. But you know, in a way, I'm really glad I got to know Cass without having seen the shows. I read the scripts over and over, and hunted around yet couldn't figure out (as I said to Mara on many an ocassion, in many a long email) why everyone hated her so much. Because to me, when I looked at the woman, and what had happened to her, and how she'd managed to survive over 3,000 years, I thought this has to be a pretty clever cookie, and have one helluva lot of street smarts too! I hated seeing her depicted as an 'emo loser' only interested in angsting her way into people's affection. And then when I saw the episodes... well, I had NO trouble at all in figuring out why she was detested. I still cringe when I think of stuff in there... seriously! I can't think of a worst depiction of a character than what the producers and directors did to her, because in the script, and reading your story of her and Hsu - the feeling I got from her was just so different. In fact I think your stories were probably the original introduction to her I had, so they probably held a great deal of sway over my thougts come to think of it.

And so short story long? *g* I'm really glad you not only accepted my offer, but helped out the way you did. And loved the way it all came together!

7) Show you my favorite userpic of yours.
So many lovely ones....some nice Bean ones there and Eomer.
Thanks! Yes, I adore wizzicons stuff.

The fireworks is the NYE celebrations in Sydney this Jan 1 just gone. I still think they are the most spectacular in the world! *g*

And like I think I just said on my LJ re the one of Uluru - it is one of the real symbols of Australia to me.

And Ath likes the Peta ones. *g*
Heee! I'm thinking I need to make a few new ones, especially with her now about to get her memory back.

Yeah, guess we owe these muses of ours something, hey?
Yeah, but let's not tell them that.

I get the Stormy Monday *g* - but LoTR? Am interested to know why?
I just do. I guess it's Eomer, and your Aragorn icon, and Sean. Just makes me think of LOTR. *g*

3) Tell a random fact about me.

LOL! Well that was pretty... random?? ;)

LOL!! Yeah, I meant to say, I randomly skip over questions.

Yup. I think they were - and I think Brendan remembers Terry mostly because, as he says, 'e was about the one bloke who didn't 'it on me!

I think Terry was grateful for the same thing...because Brendan had, Terry wouldn't have hit on him, but hit him. *g*

Heee! I think R!Jack is getting pretty antsy, not having had any play now for a while and wondering where Bilis is and what he's up to!

I know! I actually need to rewatch the episode and focus on Nancy, which is why I've been holding off...I just haven't got around to it. It's on my list!!

It came together brilliantly and works so well. I admit that Cass was never one of my favourites, and really the only reason she became Hsu's mother was there are very few female immies old enough. Even so, I also saw that she was treatd unfairly by the writers, and undersold her by having her fixate totally on revenge...which is a similar quibble that I have with Kronos. Thousands of years old and only have one focus or personality.

I've seen them on TV...they are awesome!

I'm glad you wrote that out, because I had no idea how to spell it. But yes, it's just so Australia.

Yeah, but let's not tell them that.
Hell no!!! *shudders at the thought!*

I just do. I guess it's Eomer, and your Aragorn icon, and Sean. Just makes me think of LOTR. *g*
*g* OK. I was asked the other day if I'd be interested in writing Aragorn, that's all.

I think Terry was grateful for the same thing...because Brendan had, Terry wouldn't have hit on him, but hit him. *g*

I know! I actually need to rewatch the episode and focus on Nancy, which is why I've been holding off...I just haven't got around to it. It's on my list!!
Ah, I know the feeling. I'm still trying to download the Declassifieds - have about half of them. In the meantime I've been watching alternating episodes of TW and LFN. *whispers* just managed to get a hold of S4 & S5 of LFN so am waiting for those to arrive!

Yeah, as I think we've talked about before, when a person has lived as long as that lot they must go through complete cycles. I think the only one they showed that in well was Methos, who they gave the time to develop. It's a pity they couldn't have put that much thought into the others, after all it isn't that hard to figure out.

It used to be called Ayers Rock but was returned to its traditional name of Uluru a number of years ago. There are so many tales about it, and I'd love to go there (still haven't been there!) but I don't think I'd climb it, because the Koori regard it as a sacred site and don't want people on it, but sadly it still goes on.
