How easily do you blush ? ;)

Re: Um

[learnedax.livejournal.com]

Not very. goldenoak used to be able to do it, but that was years ago...

Re: Um

[goldenoak.livejournal.com]

Dammit.
Clearly I need to try harder.

*thinks...*

Re: Um

[wench33.livejournal.com]

Ok then, I guess it's safe for me to answer :)

7. Dirty or Clean: Mostly clean
8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: Yes
9. Do we know each other outside of LJ? Yes
10. What's your philosophy on life? Right now it's "I'm doing all this crap now so that years down the line I won't have to."
11. Would you have my back in a fight? Depends who was fighting.
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? I'd probably try, and then I'd get drunk and feel the need to spill my soul and it would come out at an inopportune moment.
13. What is your favourite memory of us? Blurry. I was very happy to see you out partying at GNE, and hope that I have a chance to sit around drinking with you at some point in the future.
14. Would you give me a kidney? I'd probably hope that someone else would donate one first, but if it came down to me being the only compatible donor, yes.
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you :p> The first "award" I was ever given in the SCA was that of "TWIT" (Temporary WOAW In Training) Primarily it was pun-ishment for my continued heckling of a certain knight who has gone on to win An Tir's Crown 5 times. I had a really big crush on him.
16. Would you take care of me when I'm sick? Yes
17. Can we get together and make a cake? Cheese or carrot?
18. Have you heard any rumours of me lately? No.
19. Do you/have you talk(ed) crap about me? Hmm. If "crap" encompasses things like calmly saying "I don't understand why he does such-and-such", then yes. Otherwise, no.

21. Would you drive across country with me? Yes. Estrella?
22. Do you think I'm attractive? You're not my 'type', but yes.

24. What do you wear to sleep? Nothing at home, yoga pants and a tank top around company.
25. Would you come over for no reason just to hang out? Yeah, except I have no idea where you live. Also I have no free time.
26. Would you go on a date with me if I asked you? Yes
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? Compose your eulogy.
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? I already did.

[learnedax.livejournal.com]

We should totally hang out, if we can find any occasion where we both have free time...

Please, m'am, if you're answering it here in a public post, may I be released from my vow of silence on this point?

[rufinia.livejournal.com]

What, have people been begging you for the information?

[gyzki.livejournal.com]

Well, no, which has certainly made keeping the secret pretty easy. But when you told me (in the context of another of these games), you emphasized "Don't. Tell. Anyone."

[rufinia.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. I forgot.

Well, when it's come up before, people have laighed incredulously and said, "OMG, really?" Like it was a stupid middle name or something. To which I tell them, "STFU, buttmunch. It's my mom's name and there's a little tradition behind it, and with my first name, a little normacy is nice. So get off my *back*, sparky." That is what I say to them.

[gyzki.livejournal.com]

I guess I got off easy with "Don't tell anyone."

[rufinia.livejournal.com]

I don't recall you mocking me about it. :P

[learnedax.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize there was secrecy. Quite a few people know, in fact.

[dkapell.livejournal.com]

Skipping the first few, and in no particular order:

Yes.
Does it have to be one of mine?
Yes.
Taken.
Nope.
Will you be fighting a bear? otherwise yes.
Rewrite Endgame
Yes
No
Yes
I don't post these sorts of things.
I think it would be filled with awkward moments...
I don't understand the question
I only hear rumors about you, from you.
Yes.
I don't really have a philosphy on life that can be summed up into a pithy comment, except "Pun whenever possible"
No.
I would, and I have.

I'll bite

Would you have my back in a fight? I damn well better not; you're supposed to be ahead of me, or on my flank.

... Which is exactly the sort of situation in which you would have my back, the way I see it. If I were behind you it'd be a different story.

Do you think I'm a good person? Yes. Do you?

I have my ups and downs, but on the whole, yes.

[new-man.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's "having your back". I always think of that phrase as meaning 'back to back' for some reason.

1. Your Middle Name(s): elizabeth
2. Age: 21
3. Single or Taken: some flavor of both.
4. Favourite Movie(s): at the moment, nothing. this is subject to change.
5. Favourite Song(s): at the moment, ghostwood (by lothlorien).
6. Favourite Band(s)/Artist(s): at the moment, dar williams (which has everything to do with having seen her recently).
7. Dirty or Clean: depends on the type of each.
8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: both.
9. Do we know each other outside of LJ? yes - possibly more than inside livejournal, but not by a lot.
10. What's your philosophy on life? i'm not sure it can be summed up concisely enough here. it contains things like maintaining a sense of wonder even when jaded, looking at all sides rather than just one or three, and trying not to damage people.
11. Would you have my back in a fight? probably, but i wouldn't be very helpful.
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? i don't think i know you well enough to know what your best interest is.
13. What is your favourite memory of us? can i just pick the clearest? it involves showing you the game crystal caves and a vaguely amusing freudian slip.
14. Would you give me a kidney? no.
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you :p> i didn't realize until i heard about it a few years ago that the weird taste/touch/sight/sound mixup i've got is synaesthesia, and it's probably a direct result of the major head injury when i was ~two.
16. Would you take care of me when I'm sick? probably, but that would require knowing that you're sick and being in your immediate presence.
17. Can we get together and make a cake? if you like.
18. Have you heard any rumours of me lately? no.
19. Do you/have you talk(ed) crap about me? not as far as i remember.
20. Do you think I'm a good person? yes.
21. Would you drive across country with me? no. i don't travel well with people, and turn into a raging bitch if i don't get enough time alone.
22. Do you think I'm attractive? yes.
23. If you could change anything about me, would you? that would require me knowing you better.
24. What do you wear to sleep? depends on the temperature.
25. Would you come over for no reason just to hang out? maybe.
26. Would you go on a date with me if I asked you? probably not, unless we were actually dating. i don't particularly enjoy dates unless i'm some degree of involved with the other person/people.
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? i have difficulty imagining anything that i *know* you'd agree to, although i'd like to hear you play the flute if you still play it.
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? no. if you want to fill it out, this seems a perfectly reasonable place to do so - if i post it in my journal, i'm going to get a lot more information than i actually want at the moment, considering that i'm trying really hard to keep to my "i'm not looking because my head is not together enough right now" plan.
