As seen on waltzingalong:

1. Comment with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie/book/fictional character/SOMETHING reminds me of you.
3. I'll pick a flavor of pudding to wrestle with you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me. Well, maybe just me.
5. I'll tell you my favourite memory of you, should I have one yet.
6. I'll tell you what animal or plant you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST. It is written. Eh, I don't really care.

(I reserve the right to answer "Er, I dunno" should I get completely stuck)

Louise. Good name.

[soulstar.livejournal.com]

Best name liek evah. *nod*

1. Your flat is shiny.
2. Anya from BtVS - not because of your cat, but because of Gesturing Emphatically.
3. Chocolate hazelnut.
4. Heh. Nose flutes!
5. Actually, it's kind of an anti-memory... a memory of not having a memory, if that makes any sense. It's of the last time I was in Glasgow, and I thought "damn, I should have emailed Louise and seen if she wanted to meet up."
6. Erm. Weed. *g*
7. What's your accent like?

Er. Leslie.

See, it's a good thing you added that, or I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT!!!! ;-P

1. I know your secret: you are rilly a boy. Because you spell your name with an 'lie' instead of 'ley'. I have found you out!!
2. Even though I haven't read them yet, I associate the Anita Blake books with you.
3. Lime.
4. Boys in skirts. Yum.
5. I've got this memory of a picture of you, possibly at the Grand Canyon. Am I making that up, or is it something you've actually posted?
6. It would be easy to answer 'a butterfly'. But actually, a red squirrel: bright, inquisitive, pretty, and with a tendancy to hoard.
7. (god, I hope this isn't a sore point, or too personal - if it is, please ignore!) I don't think I've ever seen you mention your Dad. Is he around?

[buhfly.livejournal.com]

1. MWAHAHAHA! I like it better with the ie, anyway. Pfft!

2. Hopefully in a good way. :)

3. YAY GREEN

4. Well, that certain makes sense.

5. Maybe? Or it might be a picture of my mom. I tend to hide pictures of me. But I did post a lot of Grand Canyon pictures at one point.

6. *squirrel noise*

7. Not a sore point anymore. Here, have a mini-history.

He isn't around. My mom and dad got divorced when I was two. Mom had custody, dad paid child support. Until he lost his job and couldn't. They he slacked on it for many, many years. I would visit him (and his new family, he got remarried) once a week. On Sundays, which was unfortunate because they were practicing Catholics.

I made the mistake of telling mom I was scared of him (I wasn't used to men in my life, especially loud men with temper problems). Mom told him. He yelled at me about it.

I moved to Seattle and stopped seeing him. We moved back to AZ, then to NE.

Mom got lawyers to make dad pay back child support when I was 15.

I moved back to AZ.

When I was 17, I saw him in person for the last time. He came by to give me back x-rays of my teeth (there was talk of trying to fix my upper cuspits which are still baby teeth, at the time) and we talked for all of two minutes. I don't think we even hugged. Later that year, he called to yell at me because my grades were abismal because I was ditching school a lot. That was the last time I talked to him until 2001.

When I was 18, he had to pay all my back child support in one lump sum and I used to money to get an apartment.

When I was 21, he somehow found my number and called to tell me he'd been diagnosed with diabetes and that it might be genetic. Later that year, I got a Christmas card from him telling me he'd e-mailed me but he guessed he'd asked too many questions because he never got a response (I probably accidentally deleted it with spam). I wrote back saying I never got his e-mail and giving him my correct e-mail address, but he never tried to re-establish contact.

I now live literally four miles away from him, but we still haven't talked. I sent him a Christmas card in 2002, but nada. Honestly? I'm okay with it. He's never been a part of my life, really. I would have no idea what to do with him. And he certainly wouldn't know what to do with me. I'm mouthy and I wouldn't get him the respect he thinks he deserves. *shrug*

1. Yeah, yeah. That's your excuse. *g*

2. In a neutral sort of way, I guess. I have the first book, but haven't read it, and every time I spot it on the shelf, it reminds me of you. That's all!

3. Green and TANGY!

5. I think it was you, taken by your Mum, now you mention it. Maybe it was just your back? *g*

7. Ahaaa. I'm so nosy. But thank you :-) (Anything overly personal you want to ask me in return, go ahead!)

[carta.livejournal.com]

Working on yours right now, so you MUST COMMENT.

Also, ahahaha - love the sheep icon.

[soulstar.livejournal.com]

Baaa! :-)
(I decided to go with this one rather than the version you had... cos this one has pudding wrestling!!)

1. Your house is made of wood (or it looks like it is, or something). That's weird. ;-)
2. Elvis. In a gold jumpsuit.
3. Yellow custard. Idon'tknowwhy.
4. Enchilada (guess that's just me, for this one).
5. Talking to you on the phone, and, if I remember rightly, singing Christmas carols. Bzuh?
6. I'm kind of stuck on this one. I can only think of Sergei!
7. I think this is more something that I've forgotten, but what did you used to do before you got into law school?

Heli

1. You're not as blonde as I always think you are.
2. Pippi Longstocking. I have no idea why!
3. Apple pie.
4. Bzzt?
5. It's not a specific memory, but more a general feeling of cosy fondness for the good old days of Buffy fandom, which I associate with you.
6. It's all because of your icon: a duckling.
7. I've got confused and lost somewhere along the line... are you still in training to be a doctor?

*waves*
oh! memememe wants!

[soulstar.livejournal.com]

1. You... are German. (I'm sorry, that's a crap one. But it's what popped into my head)
2. Lord of the Rings. Which is odd, actually, as I'm sure we originally knew each other through Triangle, didn't we?
3. Strawberry.
4. Mmm, Rizzo.
5. Um... nebulous Triangle RPG-ing stuff, I think!
6. A frog. I think it's the kermit icon!
7. What are you studying for / towards, and what do you want to do when you graduate?
