elismor's questions:
I am going to ask everyone this question, because I think it's awesome.
1. Pick five people from your flist [who we don't have mutually friended] and tell me a little bit about them.
I thought this would be really hard, since most of my flist are your friends too, but it wasn't! (Pause for brief cat adoration time) Okay, back!
sailorjim - I 'met' SJ on Usenet in alt.callahans, based on the Callahan's novels by Spider Robinson, a long long time ago :) He's... a weirdness magnet. Actually, if you read the top entry in his journal right now, it's an introduction he did for a writing contest. He's a storyteller - mostly humorous - I've spent many an hour trying not to pee my pants. One of his better known pieces is
On Writing Penises.
naamah_darling - Naamah is extremely snarky, childfree, artistic, and can reduce me to sobbing or pee-in-the-pants laughing. Her profile is a good intro. She's also a cat lover (well, animals, period) and recently fostered some adorable little kittens and found them homes. She's been
metaquotes'd multiple times and this
post has 27 pages of comments :)
kobold - is Randy Millholland, who does the webcomic
Something*Positive plus about 3 others that update less regularly. S*P is wonderful - snarky, evil, hilarious, and touching. His journal is mostly comments about the comics and the store, but also, life, politics, and cons (the joys and stupidity of...).
ithildyn &
ninjababe - yeah, I'm cheating :) They're my friends, my family (along with
aka_arduinna and
yarrow_blue). We met online because of Forever Knight, then in real life on purpose. We're extreme opposites on some things and just alike on others. It's hard to remember a time I didn't know them - and I don't want to imagine a future without them :) Mushmushmush.
otterevilreads - and just why aren't you reading my book LJ, missy? Hmmmm.....? ::glares evilly, then laughs::
Here are the rest:
2. Would you ever move to The North?
I don't know. A lot would depend on where. I don't want 'real' snow like y'all get, but less heat in the summer would be nice. I can still see myself living near the shore, though.
ithildyn still tries to get me to move to Utah occasionally :)
3. Have you always been evil, or is it a lifestyle choice?
A bit of both, I think - being a fat kid, I learned to snark early and viciously. Then I realized I liked it when people cringed away and decided to develop it into full evilness. I kind of lost it after Mom died, but I've recently rediscovered my bitchy side and am very happy about it ;>
4. When was the last time you went swimming?
Sometime in May or early June. I've been neglecting it and need to get back. I've actually been neglecting it for a while, but I've taken the niece and either a friend or her sister a couple of times.
5. What is your favorite comfort food?
Soup, probably. Campbell's - either Chicken Noodle or Chicken and Rice. With lots of crackers and maybe a grilled cheese sammich.
Okay, first 5 people who request it will get questions.
