More Answers

Still haven’t heard from lots of you. Feel free to drop a question here!

browngirl: I’ve always been slightly tall for my age, but sometime in my teen years it just all got out of hand. *shrug*

nrivkis: I moved to Georgia way back when I got involved with my now-ex. I admit that I’m very fond of Alpharetta, and I was very fond of Athens, for all that it’d be hard for me to find a good job there. I think if I could live anywhere I wanted, without having to worry about the logistics (IE, could get a stable job that paid enough to cover living expenses, etc), I’d like to live in the UK.

My biggest problem is that no matter where I live, too many of my friends will live much too far away.

delennara: I honestly don’t remember. A book, though, that had a tremendous impression on me, and I still have a copy in my home library (my first copy was a gift from my grandmother): “The Arbuthnot Anthology of Children’s Literature”, which includes an extensive section of folk tales from around the world, broken up by nationality.

Keep those questions coming, guys! 🙂

I’ll have more answers as soon as y’all ask me some more questions!

Everything You’ve Ever Wanted To Know About Autographedcat…

Other people have done this poll, and I’ve been considering it for a while. So…..go ahead, ask me any question you’d like in the box above, and I’ll try and give you an honest and complete answer in the days to come. 🙂

UPDATE: It was pointed out to me the text box was too short, so I re-did it with the maximum allowed value. I do still have the questions from before, though if you want to ask me another one, that’s fine too. 🙂

Every now and again

A quiz amuses me enough to post it.


You are a MASTERMIND BADASS!

You are resourceful and talented. You get your job
done completely and quickly, with a silky-
smoothness that benefits whatever side you
choose to be on. Your overseers appreciate the
great advantages you bring to their
organization and they probably like you (unless
you don’t want them to), and they will continue
to do so until you’ve stolen their seats of
power out from under them.

The “Who Are All You People, Anyway” Meme :)

Taken from browngirl and telynor:

If I’m on your friends list, how do you know me? Even if it’s obvious, even if you know me RL, please comment with a short blurb about how you know me.

Also, please give a tiny little biographical blurb about yourself. Tell me how old you are, where you’re from, a little relevant information like that.

If you read my journal but don’t have an LJ account, leave a comment anyway. I know there’s at least three of you out there. 🙂

Book Meme

Stolen from gridlore:

1. What book is in your bathroom?

“The Bride Wore Black Leather (And He Looked Fabulous): An Ettiquite Guide For the Rest of us” by Drew Campbell

2. What book is in your purse/backpack?

I don’t have a purse or a backpack, so none, currently.

3. What book is on your bedside table?

“The Nodwick Chronicles” by Aaron Williams
“The Adventures of Moominpapa” by Tove Jansson

4. What was the last book you lent someone?

I just gave away a copy of “Borders of Infinity” by Lois McMaster Bujold.

5. What was the last book you lent out that someone brought back to you?

Just got back a box of about 20 or so books I had loaned out to someone who was put on three months of bedrest last year, including the entire Vorkosigan series, the Diana Galbadon historical romances, a Get Fuzzy collection, and some other assorted stuff.

6. What book do you have loaner copies of, solely for the purpose of foisting it on unsuspecting friends and relatives?

I buy used copies of Mark Helprin’s “Winter’s Tale” and give them away to people.

More Meme-y Goodness

Ok, so while I’m being memerific today, this one, stolen from nrivkis, was really intriguing. I may do it again later with another artist, but since I’ve been really listening to Screen Door’s new album a lot this week:

The ABC Meme

I don’t do quizzes often, but…

I amHastur!

The Unspeakable One is the master of those who seek to unveil the mysteries of death. It is through meditation upon the Yellow Sign that the devotee of Hastur seeks transcendence to the city-realm of dim Carcosa. Through a complex series of visualizations that expand the aspirants void-consciousness, the final age will arise. Ruled by the ominous King in Yellow, a new stage of reality will come to fruition. Of the Olde Ones, Hastur is considered to be one of the most difficult to work with, his teachings being reserved exclusively for the Cthonian Adepts and Lords.

Which Great Old One are you?

Winds of War

It’s not surprising that people in the filk community respond to the upcoming war with songs, either of their own or simply by posting the lyrics of others.

As with many others, I wish for peace

WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE
by Bob Dylan

Oh my name it is nothin’
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I’s taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.

Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

Oh the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I’s made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don’t count the dead
When God’s on your side.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

I’ve learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It’s them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.

But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we’re forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God’s on your side.

In a many dark hour
I’ve been thinkin’ about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can’t think for you
You’ll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.

So now as I’m leavin’
I’m weary as Hell
The confusion I’m feelin’
Ain’t no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God’s on our side
He’ll stop the next war.
