Meme Stealing

[dweomeroflight]

I stole this meme from amethystdragon who stole it in turn from BrendanPodger. If you want me to answer the questions about you just ask and I will do, coz I love doing this sort of thing to be honest :)

"If you respond to this, I will:

1. Tell you why I befriended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favourite user pic of yours. (after some searching on my part)

Oh how I love that this meme is making the rounds!

Me! Me! *jumping and waving*

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

1. You were on 15 days of Deverry and commented on my blog :) i can't remember if you friended me first thought.

2. I associate you with Katharine Kerr and the Deverry saga lol

3. I like that you seem really inclusive of new LJ users (ie me)

4. A memory hmmm... does the epic who's the hottest Deverry character count?

5. Do you write stories yourself?

6. I actually really love the one you're using now... it's so magical and beautiful and fantastical... my favourite :)

1. I friended you first then you friended me back.

3. Not a problem! I see my journal as a social spot. I may screen anonymous comments to keep trolls at bay but for the most part there is a reason it is public. Anybody is welcome to explore my journal and comment no matter how old the post. (self promotion? Who me? Never!)

4. I'll let it go. When you don't have much to work with anything is game. *grin*

5. I have done a few. My most recent are on my journal. Check out the enteries tagged with "creative writing". I not only have some short stories but a bit of poetry as well. I used to do tons of writing when I was in high school. I just recently got back into it.

6. Thank you! I'm a bit of a dragon freak and though I like all of the ones I use from time to time, this one suits me best.

Let's do it :)
It's going to be a bit hard since we're new friends, I hope you don't mind ;)

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

Nope I don't :)

1. You were on the JS community and posted at my LJ and anyone who likes JS is a friend of mine :)

2. lol I associate you with JS and The Master

3. I like that you blog similarly to me ie reviewing boooks and films and having discussions about things :)

4. My memory of you would be the time that we started off talking about Agatha Christie in one of my entries and then somehow veered completely off topic onto The Master, in an epic discussion which lasted for 28 replies :P

5. Do you like fantasy novels and if so which ones?

6. The one you have now is sheer hilariousness... WIN (ok I admit I'm jealous... why can't I be Lucy :P)

and ps: I heard The End of Time 1 and 2 was shit :( It still hasn't aired here but my friend in England said it was decidedly underwhelming :(

1. Thank you! I really love to meet John Simm fans :)

2. I thought so! :))

3. Well, I hardly ever write about personal things... I prefer to discuss about my fandoms and things related with John Simm in particular :)

4. But... but... I never participated in any discussions concerning Agatha Christe ;) Hmmm... ;)

5. I like both science-fiction & fantasy (books, movies, tv series, art).
When I was much younger I was a huge fan of Xanth series by Piers Anthony. Now I find it a bit silly. I also like The Chronicles of Narnia & Ravenloft series (dark fantasy with vampires, werewolves, etc).
Would you like to recommend something good to read? :)

6. Lucy was the luckiest woman in the universe... ;) But she didn't appreciate it...

When are you going to watch The End of Time? Some people didn't like it, but many did. I liked it :)

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

at 4. You did, you jumped into a convo I was having with someone else talking about And Then There were None and then we started talking about JS and The Master :P

I'm watching TEOT when the frigging ABC decides to frigging air it!!!! ANGER lol.

Good fantasy... lol Amethystdragon and BrendanPodger would agree with Katharine Kerr's Deverry saga I think. Isobelle Carmody is good as is Philip Pullman's Northern Lights. I also liked Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince Saga

[amythest-dragon.livejournal.com]

Oh absolutely! *grin* Kerr's Deverry series is the first bit of fantasy I have read and I fell in love with it from the first page! Since then I have been hooked on fantasy and scifi.

LJ user brendanpodger has given me many reading suggestions and he has yet to steer me wrong. My favourite suggestion he has given me is Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series. He had me actually start off with the second book in the series which hooked me like you wouldn't believe. Utterly, utterly fantastic! This series is considered a child's fantasy series, but you know, after reading it myself (and I'm 35) I can honestly say that truly it is written for all ages to enjoy.

[rvillarrubia.livejournal.com]

Me!

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

Sure Ruth :P

1. I friended you coz I already knew you on H-W :)

2. I associate you with HBC and Bellatrix Lestrange

3. I like that you blog about Helena and pic spam her for me- the world needs more of that ;)

4. My LJ memory of you would be the time you listed you're top ten Helena movies. I love seeing which are peeps faves. SWEENEY TODD, WINGS OF THE DOVE AND THE HEART OF ME FOREVER!!!

5. What are yout favourite books?

6. I love the fan fic one :P and then the Northern Lights one coz its pretty :)

[brendanpodger.livejournal.com]

I volunteer.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

Done!

1. I friended you coz you commented on my blog and because you liked Kit :P

2. I associate you with 15 days of Deverry

3. I like that you let me read your travel diary for England

4. My LJ memory: that awesome Agatha Christie conversation we had... because everyone knows Endless Night is great (as is William Blake)

5. Who is your favourite actress?

6. Fave userpic: the one of you at the library because you're surrounded by books and that is a good thing :)

[brendanpodger.livejournal.com]

3: I really must get the rest of that up. Part laziness and part fading memory. Let it be a lesson. Write it down straight away!

5: Favourite actress? A hard one. I will nominate three: Julia Sawalha, Sigourney Weaver & Helena Bonham Carter.

[amythest-dragon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been waiting (patiently) for you to finish that, too! Consider this a swift kick in the rear!

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

OMG YOU LIKE HELENA BONHAM CARTER... its amazing!!! She is my fave actress of all time (runner ups are Emily Watson and Miranda Richardson though they don't often get the material much to my annoyance)

[brendanpodger.livejournal.com]

Although she is perhaps too often associated with serious period drama she is very versatile and I think some of my favourite works of hers is in the childrens shows she has been in. They allow her to just have fun in a job and it is always a delight to see someone having a good time on screen. I think this is true of films like Sweeny Todd too.

[dweomeroflight.livejournal.com]

My favourite films of hers arn't the corset ones at all (which I actually find quite boring. My top five are probably Sweeney Todd, The Heart of Me, The Wings of The Dove, Magnificent Seven and a toss up between Merlin,Corpse Bride and Jenny in Big Fish.
