Baa baa meme sheep

[owlmoose]

I just subjected two people to this request, so I might as well play, too. :) Plus, I've never done a meme like it before, so should be interesting. Finally, it's Friday. Enough excuses? Good.

Comment and I'll:

1) Tell you why I friended you
2) Associate you with a song/movie
3) Tell a random fact about you
4) Tell a first memory about you
5) Associate you with an animal/fruit
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you
7) Show you my favorite user pic of yours

Reposting is, as always, totally optional.

Alright, then. :)

1. Because you seemed like a thoughtful and interesting person to get to know.
2. The Guadosalam theme.
3. You're in love with Northern California weather.
4. When you IM'd me thinking that I was Parron. :) We were drawn into a lovely conversation that I enjoyed greatly, as I have enjoyed all our conversations since.
5. One of the big cats. Possibly a tiger.
6. What got you started in fandom?
7. I have always been fond of this image. The vibrant colors on it are great.

6. Final Fantasy X. :D More specifically, Auron. His character attracted me and I wanted to explore his story. I started reading at the Pit and decided to try my hand at it. I'd been using LJ for years so it naturally followed that I'd bring it to this medium.

I should not do this to you but I shall anyway. ;)

Re: I

1. I admired your writing and you were one of the first people in fandom to reach out to me on a personal level. I hadn't realized that I was looking for that kind of connection, but I was so glad to find it when it came.
2. Verdi's Requiem
3. You adore hazelnuts in chocolate.
4. The day you put forth the call for someone to write Paine's portion of "The Confessional", and your overwhelming response when I asked to come aboard.
5. A number of possibilities come to mind but how can I say anything other than coeurl? :)
6. How did you first get started playing RPGs?
7. Because really, isn't this what every cat sees when she looks in the mirror?

I quickly realized I was not any good at 'twitch' games and wanted something to do with my computer besides the usual. Thus I got sucked into the RPG world, starting with the non-graphic (cheap) games in which one had to diagram the rooms for oneself. Hah! I liked the reasoning requirements of those games and slowly graduated to the console systems and the graphic games. They are like crossword puzzles in a strange way.

Oh oh! Pick me!

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

1. I was intrigued by your thoughts on AGL and your fic, and I wanted the opportunity to talk more with you.
2. Guadosalam theme, FFX-2 version. Maybe because of our discussions re. Leblanc.
3. You're raising a baby chocobo, and it's the cutest thing ever.
4. A long chat about fanfic and Spira's history and your excitement about muusu coming to live with you.
5. You're another big cat person in my mind. Maybe because I associate you with Kimahri.
6. Do you plan on getting back to writing about Vivi?
7. This is my favorite of the ones you're using now; the motto is just so amusing.

[dagas-isa.livejournal.com]

It crops up sometimes, but another plot bunny, or the nagging urge to replay FFIX comes up.

1. Hooked up via FF friending meme! And because I was so impressed by your Auron/Jecht ship manifesto.
2. Guitar Hero music.
3. You work for a porn company that hosts fanfic. Best intersection between fandom life and real life I've ever seen!
4. Getting hooked on Veronica Mars at the same time, and your answering a meme about it with purposefully vague answers so that you wouldn't spoil me.
5. A falcon.
6. Of the fandoms you're involved in, which is your favorite?
7. Since I just did this for you on another meme, I'll pick my second favorite. :)

[parron.livejournal.com]

*twirls* Although I think I can guess a couple of the answers already. *laugh* "Because we bickered about Paine."

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

1. We kept having interesting arguments conversations in fanficrants and I wanted them to continue in other venues and on other subjects.
2. Where to start? ;) Right now, Neuroticfish.
3. Your laptop is named Plum.
4. Our second or third FFrants conversation, where you admitted to bringing up Paine in the initial post partly to see if I would comment.
5. An otter. Fun, playful, but also tenacious.
6. Are you ever tempted to write for fandoms other than X/1999 and Final Fantasy?
7. I just did this for you, too, so again with the second favorite. This was a much harder decision.
What's up with the liking the icons best that are from the series I haven't read? Beats me, but you do lovely work with them.

[parron.livejournal.com]

1/4: Well, yeah. As you know, I guess, I do weird things to get the people I like to notice me. *laugh* I'm like the kid who pulls your hair on the playground?

7: If you read NANA... *laugh*

6. Sure. I started out writing Dragonball fanfic. From there I moved on to The Slayers, dabbled in Golden Sun, and spent a happy year with Codename: Kids Next Door. I've also written CSI and Law & Order: SVU. X and FF are recent additions. *laugh* I've considered Fruits Basket (but never really was drawn into it in a fandom way), and recently I've had a couple stray plot bunnies for NANA.

[lucil-luzzu.livejournal.com]

Okay, me too :)

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

1. I enjoyed your reviews and our conversations about fic.
2. Pirates of the Caribbean music.
3. You were born in Texas but haven't lived there since you were very small.
4. Our first real conversation, in which you asked me whether or not I had killed off Nooj in AGL.
5. Another cat, but the sweet kind that curls up in people's laps and purrs.
6. Will you miss anything about Australia?
7. And again with the just having done this. :D The first runner-up is:

[lucil-luzzu.livejournal.com]

Aw, I get to be a kitty... :D Considering you're a cat person, I feel flattered.

...the healthcare system is much better here, and the public transport is really good. And I'll miss fish&chips ;) That's all that really comes to mind...

[bottle-of-shine.livejournal.com]

I BET YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

CURSES I AM FOILED. ;)

1. I was really curious to meet this dynamo I was seeing all over fandom. And the friending meme provided the perfect excuse!
2. FFX-2 Piano Collection.
3. You have two cats and both of them are black.
4. The day cupcakemonster finally made me see what an idiot I was being and I got over myself and I asked you if I could be listed on ffpress.
5. A dolphin, frolicking in the sea alongside a pirate ship.
6. How do you do it?
7. So all the same people seem to have done the last two memes. ;) Too many good choices for second-favorite! Okay, this one:

[plantgirl.livejournal.com]

Ha. Okay, I'll bite.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

I wondered if you would. ;)

1. Because I wanted to keep up with you and what's going on in your life, and because you often find really interesting links.
2. Tom Petty, because you always got his songs on the music memes. :)
3. You have a succulent garden.
4. Meeting you at GC's Broadway musical spoof concert -- I'd been hearing your name for weeks, and I was really curious to finally get a look at you. ;)
5. A songbird, singing in a flowering tree, by turns cheery and mournful.
6. Overall, are you glad that you came to California?
7. It's a lovely picture, and it suits you well.
