changing the meme to suit my own purposes

minxyComment, telling me you want me to meme you, and I'll--
1 - Tell you why I friended you. Assuming I can remember :)
2 - Associate you with something. A fandom, a song, a colour, a piece of fruit. SOMETHING.
3 - Tell you something I like about you.
4 - Tell you a memory I have of you, or completely fabricate something.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. (Or else I'll just ask a random question. I reserve that right.)
7 - Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
8 - In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ, or answer the same questions about me in a comment. Or, you know, not. (I'm low-maintenance like that.)
I was askeered to do this meme until danvers insisted, because there are so many lurkers and I'm afraid, see, that someone will comment and I *won't remember who you are*. I'm over it, though, in fact, I would like to INVITE lurkers and various aquaintances, as well as close LJ buddies, to comment with question answers and at the very least I'll comment fic you off something you said in your answers or something, and then I get to know a little more about who you are, so it's win-win!

Date: 2007-04-14 05:15 am (UTC)1. Well, I'm aquainted with too many lily's on LJ, so I shall have to say that we met fighting over the last bar of extra dark chocolate in the campus bookstore.
2. I shall now associate you with, hrm... a long leather skirt. Yes.
3. That you commented yay!

Date: 2007-04-14 05:16 am (UTC)4/5 - Kate was unsteady; she was sure she was crossing a line, showing up uninvited. She and Teyla had come to share meals together, speak during social events for hours on end, they'd even spoken of serious things on a balcony overlooking the East pier. Kate knew Teyla did not share needlessly and knew also that she had her reasons for cancelling their standing professional appointment. Still, Teyla's team had asked her to come; Ronon even explicitly stating that none of them knew what to say.
So she was here, entering Teyla's quarters in a quasi-professional way with a bag of distractions over her shoulder.
Teyla was lying in rather a distracting position, on her side the plush fur that served as a rug, one leg drawn up preternaturally high behind her head. Kate's silence waiting for her to resume looking forward and carefully release the pose was as much lack of breath as anything else.
"Hello," Teyla said, and her voice sounded tired.
"I checked on the boys in the infirmary," Kate said, "they seemed more concerned about you."
"They are all here, and well," Teyla said, as though reminding herself.
"They're frightened for you," Kate responded, realizing the truth of it and remembering John's face in the infirmary, "can I ask what happened?"
Teyla took a long time breathing in the air to answer, so Kate settled herself in a similar crosslegged pose on the carpet. She caught herself tilting her head in a professional way and stopped. She felt herself cataloguing hints of PTSD symptoms in Teyla and made herself quiet.
Finally Teyla opened her mouth to speak, and Kate had to make herself listen for the sounds instead of just watching as though she could see breath through lips. "I was.." Teyla shook her head slighly as though she couldn't find the words. "I was frightened myself." And then she shook her head again as if shaking off the emotion and implication of fear.
And then Kate understood that that was the heart of the matter, at it's most pure. She stopped concerning herself with whether she would be professionally obligated to report her discussion with Teyla or write down notes later; Teyla was more self aware at that moment than Kate could ever lead her to be.
"I brought some things to distract you, if that's what you want," Kate said, all stuttering voice now the professionalism was irrelevant, "but I can leave you too, if you'd prefer." At the slight quirk of an eyebrow Kate unslung her bag and displayed the three items of frivolity she had in her possession. Teyla picked one of them up. "I've been thinking of dying my hair red," Kate explained, and wondered if Teyla remembered the conversation they'd had. Teyla skipped over the tube of face mask and picked up the cucumber. "I had to trade with the kitchen staff," Kate said wryly.
"Is it a food item?" Teyla asked, and Kate thought suddenly that of course Teyla wouldn't know what Earth food looked like unprepared if it had been grown in the Lantian kitchen greenhouse and not on the mainland.
"Yes, and if you've had a long day, cold slices on your closed eyelids can feel good..." Kate trailed off as Teyla got a particularly mischevious look on her face and tested the weight of the vegetable in her hand as though she were going to throw it.
"It does not look like a food item," Teyla said, with at least half a smile. Kate blushed, but couldn't look away. After all, she reasoned, she's come there to distract Teyla, she was entitled to watch her handiwork as the woman smiled.
And a smiling Teyla was worth watching.
"What I would most like," Teyla said, eyes looking away and then back, boldly, to Kate, "is to be held. To sleep, and not be alone." Kate felt her smile ease off her face as she understood what Teyla was asking.
And then she knew with great certainty that she would not be returning to her quarters to write a report, or for any other reason. Kate smiled again at Teyla, and freely watched to see if she smiled back.
6 - I shall now ask you to answer the same questions about me.
7 - I love the icon you have of Teyla from S1, leaving a room and looking over her shoulder. Not only is her hair gorgeous, but her hand just draws the eye.

Date: 2007-04-14 05:25 am (UTC)2 - I associate you with long, tall, skinny model women. Serves you right for calling yourself Wraith.
3 - I like that you are fearless with what you say. I remember some particularly hilarious threads involving ded gey Russians where it was worth it to just watch you go.
4 - Oh Jesus, Ded Gey Russians isn't a memory?
5 - I associate you with, oh, wait... let me think... um...
6 - I have always wanted to know... if you could see one thing in the world, what would it be (fandom answers allowed, but looking only, no touching)
7 - I must love your Jack/Daniel Princess Bride quote icon.
8 - In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ, or answer the same questions about me in a comment. Or, you know, not. (I'm low-maintenance like that.)
no subject
Date: 2007-04-14 05:33 am (UTC)2 - I've seen it everywhere, but I still think of you when I see the 'OTP, carve it on my tombstone' quote
3 - I like anyone who is so thoroughly positive about fandom, but I love watching you get into writing too.
4 - Well, recently, you nearly exploded when I recced you, that was cute. Hee!
5 - Um, do you have an OTP?
6 - I'm curious how you came into LJ, whether it was the first place you fell when you got into fandom, and how you came into SG-1 so late in the game, as it were.
7 - The 'love means never having to care if it's canon' one is *marvelous*
8 - In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ, or answer the same questions about me in a comment. Or, you know, not. (I'm low-maintenance like that.)

3 - You wrote a great Teyla/Kate fic!
4 - It wasn't a chocolate bar we fought over, though one was involved. I can't remember who was buying it though, or if we both were. I had the last book you need for a course that I wasn't even taking. Somehow that led to a discussion of SGA and dark chocolate. If you remember the exact progression of that conversation, please, clue me in. Anyway, I'm glad for it.
5 - Teyla
6 - How exactly do you get your hair to do what it does?
7 - Down to three: Jayne b/c that is a great episode and a fantastic cut. Inara b/c I love the coloring. And John mit bird b/c it makes me think of Discworld.

Date: 2007-04-14 06:36 am (UTC)You've just prompted my very first Kate/Teyla, though I've always loved the pairing because my name is Kate and I adore the idea that I get the girl, omg! I once wrote a little Sam/Teyla in the middle of a deceptively poly fic, but that's as much femslash as I've written. I need to remedy that. Vala/Sam has great pirating potential.
6 - How exactly do you get your hair to do what it does?
It's the 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em and play to their strengths' mentality. My hair is straight, and it's never going to be anything but. I gave up coloring it, curling it, using products or otherwise doing anything to it other than blow drying and getting it cut *really* *well*.
That Inara icon is gorgeous, but there is something just so Dada about John with the bird. I suspect it's a statement about his hair, but I like it as absurdist art.
So terribly pleased to meet another dark chocolate fan. What on earth were you doing with a science textbook if you weren't taking the class, though?
no subject
Date: 2007-04-14 06:45 am (UTC)2 - Oh, that fantastic Inara/Jayne fic comes to mind. I'll associate you with them as my favorite (if only) author of that pairing.
3 - That you work so hard at work worth doing.
4 - That I met you on my way to Africa and then promptly saw a woman on the plane who seriously looked just like you--at least, out of the corner of my eye. Granted, I had my glasses on, so the peripheral vision is not so much, but I love that you made that much of an impression.
5 - See #2
6 - How did you meet your husband? Or, if that's too much, how did you come to be in nyc, nyc girl? Are you a Manhattan native?
7 - Oh, the Zoe 'Bitch Please' is so fantastic.
8 - In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ, or answer the same questions about me in a comment. Or, you know, not. (I'm low-maintenance like that.)

Date: 2007-04-14 12:43 pm (UTC)1 - I friended you because of your faboo recs and your faboo fiction and that you were mutually on a bunch of people's flists and then just found you fabulous. Lucky!! :D
2 - Stargate fandom of course... and SPN now... bwahahaha!! I associate you with the colour... sparkly! Shutup, totally a colour!! Hehehee...
3 - I like how open and friendly and welcoming you are. I like your sense of humour and obviously you have great taste in friends... har har!
4 - Remember that time in Vegas with the cheese, the cadillac and the French Canadians? No? Just me then?
5 - Teal'c. Hehee... it's the little love that could!
6 - What did you want to be when you grew up? When you were little and the world was frilly dresses and maryjanes?
7 - I love the Weeeee! Jayne icon... always makes me giggle. :)
8 - Tada!

Date: 2007-04-14 04:34 pm (UTC)2 – Bwahaha! In what I think was about the first post of yours I commented on, you mentioned you needed a new vibrator. :D
3 – You are truly kind and welcoming to all the newbies; which makes my fandom grow. More personally, you’ve done and are doing some wonderful and adventurous things. Your appreciation comes through when you share it; I love that.
4 – Your trip to Africa and the pic of your hand on a hieroglyph. I wanna do that SO bad!
5 – J/D squee!
6 – I also want to know how you arrived in LJ and fandom. And also how you began the writing and reccing. Which came first?
7 – Besides the obviously adored J/D kiss, I like “Reading is sexy.” (You have Star Trek! I’m a Trekkie from way back.)
8 - This was very cool of you to do. Much fun!
6 - I'm curious how you came into LJ, whether it was the first place you fell when you got into fandom, and how you came into SG-1 so late in the game, as it were.
Sometime around S7, I found SG-1 books, but there weren’t enough, so I looked online for fiction. OMG! The first link I clicked on was J/D.
7 - The 'love means never having to care if it's canon' one is *marvelous*
no subject
Date: 2007-04-14 04:39 pm (UTC)2 - I associate you with Australia, and if we must have a color... *muses* MAUVE. The universal color of danger. No-- wait! BEARS. I associate you with little cuddly bears. With Zelenka hair.
3 - I love how upbeat you are. A chat with you always makes the day brighter, and I don't remember you ever being negative about anyone.
4 - I cannot *believe* you remember the thing with the cheese and the cadillac! I would've sworn you were either to drunk or were going to repress it or something. I swear those French Canadians tried to lace that cheese with something, it had that tangy aftertaste, you know? Still, the fingerprint sized dents in my bum worked themselves out... eventually. The bite marks you left behind I still remember fondly. I think I have pictures.
5 - Oh, let's everyone be associated with Teal'c! Or maybe the world's smallest ship wars! Reinstate the Cam/Daniel v. Cam/Teal'c wank! Okay, fine. I'll associate you with Atlantis/little furry bears. Tumbly run for the win!
6 - Ever been to a con? I haven't, but I'd be really curious to go with a bunch of fans that I knew... wondered if it changed the experience.
7 - I really love the framing on 'A little dirty', but I might have to pick one of the other Faith ones, either Serene or Not So Innocent (liviapenn tried to pimp me into Buffy by going to see theater showings of eps, and the only one I really reacted instantly to was Faith. If the show had been called 'Faith, vampire slayer', I'd have been All Over It.)
8 - In return,
you must spread this disease in your LJ, or answer the same questions about me in a comment.I answer your comments!Shutup, totally a colour!!
Sparkly is a color! Sparkly is the *bestest* color!
Teal'c. Hehee... it's the little love that could!
Neither my love, nor any other part of Teal'c that I know of, is little. Also, CJ played football for my home state in college, so I feel like we're close.
What did you want to be when you grew up? When you were little and the world was frilly dresses and maryjanes?
I don't really recall many frilly dresses, though there were a lot of kilts and berets for some reason (and let's not go into the 80s thing with bandanas...) But apparently I announced that I either wanted to be an actress or a doctor when I grew up. My mother finds it hilarious, but then again, she did survive a child who never forgot the answer to a question and would find the holes in invented responses, so she deserves a laugh or two.
I love the Weeeee! Jayne icon
Me too! Also love the 'wtf?'Jayne icon, but have far fewer occasions to use it.
no subject
Date: 2007-04-14 04:48 pm (UTC)2 - I associate you with bamboo tables, ceramic tea pots, napkins with ancient language forms and derivations scribbled all over them in colored pens and ambrosia ice cream.
3 - I love how passionate you are about linguistics and archeology, it's totally inspiring.
4 - Well, there was that one time I moved down the coast to be nearer to you... oh wait, that's coming up. Did I mention that I'm moving to SB and will be a mere few hours drive from LA?
5 - John/Steve for the win! I'm glad you pointed me to those stories, because they really are some of the most inventive and unique that I've read.
6 - I shall ask, um, (this is evil, but I'm curious) if the fates work with you, were would you like to be in five or ten years?
7 - I'm going to have to love the Steve/John so close icon, because that is an extraordinary look on John's face.
8 - In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ, or answer the same questions about me in a comment. Or, you know, not. (I'm low-maintenance like that.)

Date: 2007-04-14 05:08 pm (UTC)2 - Quince.
3 - I love the quotes at the beginning of your entries. I do so admire pithy people.
4 - Oooooh, the time with the duck! And the headdress! *collapses in laughter* No, no, I'm not laughing at you.
5 - *sigh* Mal/Simon. I think you may be my favoritest author of that pairing.
6 - Are we, perhaps, both in Supernatural fandom now? I mean, I'm only sticking my baby toe in the pool at this point (haven't even friended any comms) but my powerful deductive reasoning notes the DEAN ICON you are using today! So, while I have you as a captive audience, what is your fannish philosophy or geneology?
7 - Traditionally, I would go with anything involving Zoe, or perhaps the Faith 'Drive Your Life Like it's a Car You Stole' icon (which is fabulous), but I'm going to have to go with Phil the Goat, because I have no idea what it means, but it makes me laugh.
8 - In return, you must spread this disease in your LJ, or answer the same questions about me in a comment. Or, you know, not. (I'm low-maintenance like that.)

Date: 2007-04-14 05:33 pm (UTC)2 - I shall associate you with one of the most gutsy, productive, fascinating discussions about ship/slash vs. gen ever. And SG-1, obviously, and dragonfruit.
3 - I like that you post about all the shows you're watching in SG-1. I've only ever done it for Farscape and it's a much bigger commitment for SG-1. I also love that you've enjoyed both the early and the late seasons. Me too, dude.
4 - Well, there was the night we were up late in the science labs and you snuck me in to see the big telescope and I snuck in a bottle of wine and we spent the night making ridiculous wishes on falling stars no one else could see.
5 - Gen, baby, gen. And Sam, for we share the Sam love, yes we do.
6 - Who are your favorite characters across fandoms?
7 - I really like 'the dice were loaded' as a quote for Daniel and Sha're, but I think it might be more effective with one close image of them... or maybe not. Hrm.
