Nicked happily from [livejournal.com profile] sabaceanbabe:-

So, comment below, and I will:

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Associate you with a character/pairing.
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7. Tell you my favorite userpic of yours.

(If No.5 isn't apt, because you're not into that side of fandom, I'll think of something else :D Or you can suggest something.)
Mood:: 'amused' amused

*giggles* Totally knew you'd fall for this :D

1. Tell you why I friended you
We met at [livejournal.com profile] cookwitch's house and had nattered happily about Star Trek and other geeky things :D

2. Associate you with something.
Belgo's - Apart from my friends Rik and Carol, I've been to Belgo's more often with you and Paul than anyone else :)

3. Tell you something I like about you.
Your ability to come up with fun names for your cow-orkers which I try to emulate but can't reach the same heights. :)

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
Heh, not one specific thing, but I always forget how tall you are until I am standing next to you and looking up :P

5. Associate you with a character/pairing.
Don't really have fannish associations for you. I do associate you with Dr Who in general :)

6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
How'd you get interested in cooking? Self-preservation or did this develop earlier?

7. Tell you my favorite userpic of yours.

Because the first time I saw that, the spit take was classic.

1. Ah yes, the "What goes up might come down" dinner!

2. MmmBelgo's. In May I found one on Holborn that's totally unlike the one in Covent Garden - it's light, airy and above ground. We decided that it's much nicer that way!

3. This would be a self-preservation trick, on the off-chance that someone from work stumbles upon some of my earlier, unlocked posts.

4. I sometimes think I was born under the Beloved Who Reaches Things Down from High Places (there are maybe two people reading this who will catch the reference...)

5. None at all? Heavens...

6. It's something that I've always enjoyed, as far back as I can remember. I particularly associate it with my maternal grandparents (from whom I also got my love of plants), and it came in handy at university.

7. It is rather... <mode="George Takei">Oh, my!</mode>

1. *giggles* I'm pretty sure I dragged you onto LJ and friended you whether you liked it or not :D

2. tea!

3. Your ability to share my brain, even if it is occasionally terrifying. Also, your uncanny ability to acquire tea wherever we may be is a godsend :D

4. This is going to be a favourite memory for a very long time. The scene: 5th Avenue in New York. We have been shopping and have paused while you stuff your latest acquisitions into your bag. I'm idly gazing down the road and the following conversation ensues:-

Me: Jeeeennnn-iii-feerrrrr
You: Nyeee-eeess?
Me: Do my eyes deceive me or is that a honking big Barnes and Noble store over the road?
You: *looks*
You: Huh. You're right, that IS a honking big Barnes and Noble store over the road.
You and Me: *thoughtful pause*
Me: Shall we...
You: ...cross the road...
You and Me: ..casually?

:D

5. Huh, I'm not really a shippy person so I don't really ask about ships that other people might like, so while I know you voraciously read fan fic, I have no idea if you have any preferences. I'm going to guess right now, you're liking Hawk and Natasha?

6. I've known you over a decade, 'm not sure there's anything left to ask :P Besides, 'm not shy about being nosy! *ponder ponder ponder* Oh hey, what are your favourite fandom ship/pairings? :D

I love the snoopy dance one but I made that so I'm biased (and I must someday get around to doing a better version.) This icon I could watch alllllll day, it's just lovely :D

Jolly good, old bean!

1. Well I knew you from LJDQ, and somehow found my way to your Kenyan travelogue on LJ (It was Kenya right? Africa for sure :))

2. Snarky quizzes :D

3. I envy you your job (although not right now when you're working insane hours!) I like your way with a travelogue too. Also, you tell funny stories well - it's harder in text than people think.


4. Never met so don't have a memory but the mental image of you singing "I can see clearly now" in the office whilst dancing with your colleague is going to take a lot of shifting...

5. Gin and pudding. What? It's a pairing! :D

6. So "chaosvizier" sounds like it might have been a title bestowed on you by work colleagues :) Is that where it came from?

7. Image ()

Makes me smile every time :D

1. Pretty sure [livejournal.com profile] halcyon_shift is to blame for this. I can't actually recall when or why but I'm guessing mutual love of Helo and beta'ing Lithy's fics had something to do with it :)

2. Vids :)

3. Your prodigious fic output. I am in awe. I write something once a year (usually for Yuletide) :D

4. We've never met, so I don't have a memory per se. Just the impression of being made to giggle by stuff you've posted on LJ :D

5. Aeryn and John, for sure

6. So how did you end up with "Sabaceanbabe"? (I know it's Farscape and relates to Aeryn, obviously :D)

Great use of an already funny trope :D

1. Well we know each other from RAM. And I think you tapped me on the shoulder and said "Hey! I'm on LJ too! Friend me!" so I did :)

2. Baking :D

3. You have survived retail far longer than I did. Woman, I salute you!

4. Oh easy! Beaming as we arrived at the theatre to see "Much Ado About Nothing".

5. Umm. I don't even know. Err *thinks* Something involving David Tennant I suspect :D

6. OK, desert island question - you can take one mystery series. What do you pick and why?

7. Image ()

You only have six! And you don't have the one I picked last time any more! But this is funny :D

Answering the desert island question: Ummm... I guess I'd have to say the entire Sherlock Holmes canon, because no matter how many times I've read them, I can never tire of them. :-) Also, now I can picture Benedict Cumberbatch in an ulster and a deerstalker. :-D

As for icons... you haven't seen my new "High-functioning sociopath" one yet...

1. Actually I bullied you into joining LJ because you complained about not being able to read friends locked posts :D

2. The colour orange. For some reason.

3. Your dedication to a small beanie monkey :) Your love of Modesty Blaise (I know we're not the only 2 people who like those books but it sure seems that way sometimes).

4. *giggles* You getting drunk after a do at Crime in Store and buying a Harry Potter book to "read" on the way home. (I'm pretty sure you fell asleep 10 seconds after getting on the train :D)

5. You are not fannish person so this question is redundant. I will say though, regarding pairings, it's always "Rik and Carol". Never just "Rik" or "Carol" when you crop up in conversation, I always have to mention you both because one without the other would be....too weird to contemplate :)

6. *ponders* Actually, 'm gonna ask you the desert island one I asked [livejournal.com profile] annuala because I know very little about your favourite authors. So! Dessert island - you can take one mystery series with you and, because I know you'll whine otherwise, the work of one other author. What do you take?

7. Image ()

You only have six and they're mostly monkey related :D But I do like the one you're using atm, it's very cute! *notes she hasn't seen Mr Monkey for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages*

One mystery series and one other author?!!

Umm. I'm going to have to think about that...
