More meme stuff, kind of interesting.

Any opinion, then?

You're a fascinating, witty, and somewhat twisted person. Baseball slashfic? Gotta love it.

I'd love to meet you at some point, possible at a [livejournal.com profile] sfgiantsfans game outing next season.

ping. :)

Incredible sense of humor (which one needs as a Cubs fan, I suppose.)

[identity profile] bunyip.livejournal.com 2004-10-09 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. :)

There's also the Aussie tradition of following the underdog, or perenniel loser... Collingwood in the Aussie Rules competition went for 60 years without a grand final win, but their loyal fans would show up week in and week out during the season.

This is why I hope the Red Soxs make it through to the World Series. :)

You impress me as someone who is quite resilient, given all the crap that has hit you in the last few months. While you occasionally stumble, your wonnderful "joke 'em if they can't take a fuck" attitude serves you well.

Fellow TMLer and gun nut! Another person with whom I'd like to spend a day at the Albany Gun Club. We could make targets that look like Zhodani and K'kree and have endless fun blasting away.

??

Here's the irony, though: I've never handled a gun in my life. When I was younger, before I understood the Second Amendment's purpose and context, I had the standard liberal attitude about gun control: "Guns bad, let's get rid of as many as we can." Even now, it's all about other people's rights to bear arms.

Guns scare me a little - the potential for mishap, the responsibility involved in carrying a potentially deadly weapon. I'd rather not have that. (I'm aware that this choice may mean that someday I wind up on the other end of one, being threatened/coerced or worse. So be it.)

One consequence of this is that I have immense respect for all the men and women who, by serving as military or police, make bearing arms a choice/luxury for me.

You're something of a cypher to me. On the one hand, you're a goving, loving wonderful person.. then I see something about your, um, amoprous activities and freak a little. I like how you combine those two facets into a very neat whole.

Hi!

[identity profile] gridlore.livejournal.com 2004-10-09 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hi back!

Steve, you've been a wonderful friend for many years. I've valued your advice on matters technological and musical, and enjoyed listening to you perform.

I'm curious, but feel free to skip me if you'd rather.

PING Gridlore. :-)

hoRAH! Oh Truck Goddess, where to start? Watching the changes you are going through is both painful and cause for hope. I wish you all the best in the sandbox, and in your relationship with [livejournal.com profile] sappersgt. May you both come home from your deployments safe and sound.

Hey, when you get comissioned, are you going to make him salute you before bed?

TMI. . .

Ummm. . . I plan on being waaaay out of uniform when going to bed.

Well, unless we're doing the Lieutenant Disciplining Mouthy NCO scene. That's entirely different.

One, two, three, ONE!

One, two, three, HALT!

Was it good for you?

Doug, Doug, Doug.

A 2-hour scene is a _quicky_. That wouldn't even get me warmed up.

LOL I want to see if you could come up with anything to say about me?

Although we've onl;y met in RL a few times, I always find that you have something interesting to say, and that comment ususally comes with a smile.

I can't help it...

I'm a sucker for attention.

On the surface, you look like someone Not To Be Messed With. Yet getting closer, one finds a giving, wonderful man with an eccentric sense of humor.

Baaaa!

Sorry, it seemed to be a sheep moment.

[identity profile] dekarch.livejournal.com 2004-10-08 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
OK, why not.

[identity profile] gridlore.livejournal.com 2004-10-09 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
While I don't agree with your politics, your service to our nation and what you do for Jen pleases me. Have a great time in Deutchland!

This I gotta see. Assuming you think you know me well enough. If not, no prob.

You remind me of a master villian, sitting in his web of computers and always having the right piece of information at hand.

I'm sorry we didn't get to spend more time together at OryCon.

*raising hand* me too!

[identity profile] gridlore.livejournal.com 2004-10-09 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
Gah, how long have we known each other?

You remind me of me. A lot of potential that you hide behind a goofy attitude. The difference being that you do something with that potential. Your artwork also rocks.

[identity profile] hellloooonurse.livejournal.com 2004-10-13 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to think how long it's been. I think I was 16, perhaps 17. So roughly 20 years.

[identity profile] fimbrethil.livejournal.com 2004-10-09 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Me, please.

[identity profile] gridlore.livejournal.com 2004-10-09 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. What to say?

M'lady, I am in constant awe of you. We "met" under the worst of circumstances, but out of that we've forged a strong bond. I am inspired by your strength of will. You may not see it, but you are a rock. I can't wait to see you in person! In five days! WOO!
