Because I said I would....

Sometimes these little things are fun, or informative, or just a good way to pass a few minutes of time. I don't normally post these, but what the hey, eh?

Post a comment requesting it, and I will:

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I will construct a funny alter ego for you to use if you need to go into hiding.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me. (If possible)
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what musical instrument 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. Feel free to alter the questions, but keep the spirit, and the number of them.

1) We both made the same mistake at the same time. At least we met each other because of it.
2) "Anywhere Is" - Enya
3) Tae Lossel was born in California, of a German father and a Japanese-American mother. After a failed attempt to break into the professional surfer world, Tae instead turned to his other passion: murals. He started as a graffiti artist in his youth, but now regularly receives commissions to paint neo-modern murals on the sides of buildings. Although he is mostly known for Whelanesque seascapes, he occasionally delves into Mondrian or Wrightesque geometries, incorporating structural elements of buildings in his lines and images.
4) That little restaurant where we bumped into each other had good food.
5) Well, I first met you at Arisia, but the circumstances weren't that good. Times change.
6) Xylophone. Bright, clear, equally capable of single notes or chords, with a distinctive metallic element. Sometimes disregarded as childish or uninteresting, it has a surprisingly important role. Plus I once saw the flying karamazov brothers play one with bowling pins as they were juggling in the pins. A very impressive act.
7) Ever though of ending up further east, so we can hang out more often?

1) Its been one of the wonderful/amusing ironies of my life that some of my best friends in recent years were all met through the same ex-girlfriend (and of course, most of them are not even friends with her anymore). You are certainly no exception.

3) Surfing, huh? That's a funny image, considering I've never been on a surf board in my life. *grin*

4) Yeah, its a pretty decent place. Mostly we go there when ladyarren's parents are visiting and they want to go out to eat.

5) Yeah, that wasn't an especially pleasant experience, though I enjoyed most of Arisia when it wasn't touching on that particular dysfunctional arrangement. Enough so that I returned the following year, anyway, though I haven't been back again since.

6) What an unexpected and interesting response. Hm.

7) Thought? Yes. At the current juncture it isn't likely to happen, though. Not through any particular desire on my part to stay here, but my wife is fairly committed to staying in this area at the moment. I'd need a pretty compelling reason to make it happen, and right now, I haven't got one. It is a shame, since I get to see all you folks so rarely this way, but I'm afraid it can't be helped at the moment.
