Talk to me...

Stolen from zelempa:

"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Some of you I don't know at all because I didn't friend you back (yet?). Perhaps you haven't been around for long, perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me and I thank you for your interest in my words.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: 'Ah, there's so and so...'

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear."

Or the people who I friended, and who friended me back. Who, if they're anything like me, won't remember who friended who first anyway :)

In other words - I have essays! Please distract me!

I friended you, because I love your fanfics. And something about me? I don't know... I'm addicted to Stargate Atlantis :D And I'm allergic to cats :( When I was younger, I have loved them and now I can't even approach them :(

And good luck with your essays!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you may have friended me during mcshep_match! I wrote one (1) SGA story (like, ever). Fun fact: Like Daniel Jackson, I studied Linguistics and have ascended three times!

Well, if you have essays I can only oblige and distract you for that little bit longer *g*

I talk to books I'm reading, TV shows I'm watching and have had to train myself not to talk during movies at the cinema because I get hit - often and hard.

And when I say I talk to the TV, I don't mean in a normal way - I greet the characters as they come on screen and have very one-sided conversations with them. I scare people until they just find it funny and then damn annoying *g*

I have my tongue pierced. Have done since I was 19. My mum asks me at least once a month when I'm going to get rid of it *shrug*

Lovely idea.

Hm. My parents raised us vegetarian, so I've never eaten meat (poultry, fish, anything) before.

Also, I brush my teeth with Tom's orange-mango children's toothpaste because I can't stand the menthol that's in all the grown-up toothpaste.

...I mean, you did say any old thing. :)

I friended you because you write the best Cam/John I've read and I still go back and read Peace on Earth every month or so.

Um, random thing about me... I'm sitting here learning to play White Christmas on the guitar. There, that was interesting :)

Happy Tuesday...

I believe I friended you after lurking on your site which I got to because of your comments about East of the Sun, West of the Moon by Dossier. (Sorry I couldn't get the links there. I'm still new at this) I've enjoyed several of the things you have written.

Right now I should be working on the paperwork on my desk at work. Instead I am browsing LJ and occasionally looking at a Lorne story that I should be working on but I'm stuck.

Outside of work and fandom I enjoy playing pool and Texas Hold 'Em.

I friended you because I loved your fics and decided that if you came out with more I couldn't miss them! However interestingly I love the word Snickerdoodle but I don't actually know what a snickerdoodle is.

I'm the girl who's nuts about Cameron Mitchell. Right now my journal is about 50% Mitchell, 50% bitching about work. Occasionally I will post fic, but I don't have time to write much anymore.
