Friends meme

[kerravonsen]

Gacked from a couple of you.

a. Choose 15 people from your friends list at random.
b. Write something about/to each of them.
c. Don't tell anyone who the statements are about. Good or bad. No matter how they beg!
d. But please do try to guess. That's what makes this fun!

Since there are 17 in the list of mutual Friends, and one of them is the same person twice, I decided to do everyone. (But I have mixed up the order, never fear)

1. You make me think of your favourite character.
   
2. Elf.
   
3. Biographer of a thief.
   
4. I didn't realize who you were on LJ until someone told me.
   
5. Crossovers. Geek.
   
6. Beginnings.
   
7. Beaurocracy and foodstuffs, ah, the misfortune!
   
8. Good taste in icons and encouragement.
   
9. Your prose is like diamonds.
   
10. You're blunt and to the point and don't suffer fools -- and have a hobby I knew nothing about.
    
11. We may have different interests and world-views, but you stood by me when I needed friends and I will never forget it.
    
12. Our first meeting was ironicly fannish, and blossomed so much since then.
    
13. Our meeting was also ironicly fannish. And it isn't the size, it's the energy.
    
14. Our meeting was a very squee-ish occassion.
    
15. Who is that masked man? You know.
    
16. You often say what I'm thinking.
    

ETA: I have changed #4. Take note.
ETA: I have changed #11. Take note.

Either 4 or 14

Re: *guesses*

[kerravonsen]

Er, no, not either one, though of course #14 does fit too.

Re: *guesses*

[tptigger.livejournal.com]

13?

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

I've gotta be #15. ;)

[kerravonsen]

You certainly must. (grin)

[ladyslvr.livejournal.com]

4?

I'm stumped.

[kerravonsen]

No, it isn't 4. Though I am realizing that 4 is much more general than I'd intended!

[ladyslvr.livejournal.com]

6?

If that's wrong, I give up.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Am I #3?

[kerravonsen]

Of course. 8-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Vila-ness! I love him despite his profession, to his amazement; he thought it was all he was valued for.

[temeres.livejournal.com]

I suspect #9 as a possibility, since most of what I write is as transparent as it is homogeneous, but #10 is probably the better bet.

[kerravonsen]

#10 it is.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Er, 4?

[kerravonsen]

No, there was sufficient information for me to be able to figure out who you were.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Then 1, and Garak.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

I admit I'm a tad bewildered. There are several I can't rule out entirely, and none that jumps out and says "me!" though I can identify several other people. I shall just have to wait and let people eliminate themselves.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

On fifth or sixth thought, I believe I'm number 7. Though I am not a number, I'm a free radical.

[kerravonsen]

I'd forgotten that #7 could also apply to you. But there is someone else on my flist to whom it applies more.

[mommie-geek.livejournal.com]

#5?

[kerravonsen]

Yes. you are.

[reveilles.livejournal.com]

Hmm... (tucks pencil behind ear) ...by the process of elimination, I must be either 1,2,4,6,7,8,9,11,12, or 16.

Hm.

1. I doubt I remind you of Methos. :)
2. Not me.
4. Possibly? I didn't know who you were on LJ until I started wondering who this person was who was posting comments that made so much sense to synaethete7's blog, and I followed links until I discovered, to my great surprise and delight, (because I'd briefly interacted with you before in a completely unrelated way) who you are.
(5.) jcobleigh suggested I was this one, because of our aborted attempt at co-authoring a crossover, but I thought, "Nah..." :)
6. Maybe? Most likely? Due to my having just gotten married?
7. Nope
8. This has got to be synaesthete7 :)
9. I wish, but I doubt it. :)
11. Nope
12. Our first meeting was fannish, but not particularly ironically so, so no.
16. No...I doubt it.

So: my guess is either 4 or 6. Am I anywhere close?

This is a great meme, guaranteed to spark a lot of conversation. Everyone wants to know what other people think of them. :)

[kerravonsen]

Yes, you don't remind me of Methos. 8-)

Yes, you are not the Elf.

No, you are not #4 (golly, that one has trawled in a lot of false positives!) Before you got married, your LJ pointed to your fic, so I was able to figure out who you were (I checked it just now -- did you realize that link was broken?).
...until I started wondering who this person was who was posting comments that made so much sense to synaesthete7's blog -- I could say the same of you.

Yes, you are not #5, though I agree that mommie_geek is not the only person around here interested in crossovers.

No, you are not #6 either.

And, yes, you are not #9, as you surmised. Though I am surrounded by talented people, there's one particular person whose work I find dauntingly brilliant.

And, no, you aren't #12, because we haven't actually met face to face.

[hawkeye7.livejournal.com]

Okay, so 3, 5, 10, 13, 14, 15 are taken (what a lame effort guys) so this leaves:

1. Kerr Avon? That's a possibility... More like the one I'd like it to be though...
2. Nope.
4. This can't be right. You befriended me almost immediately after I arrived on LJ. (watervole would be my guess here...)
(5. I thought you were the expert on crossovers.)
6. Nope.
8. This would be synaesthete7. My taste in icons (and encoragement) is notoriously bad.
9. My prose is more like coal.
11. Actually, we have pretty similar interests...
12. I wouldn't describe our first meeting as fannish, although there was a lot of talk about Blake's 7.
16. Nope.

7 is the intriguing one. I used to work for the government for some years but left about 6 years back. As a result, I can spell "Bureaucracy" :) Getting retrenched meant payouts and pay rises.

My guess is 7.

[kerravonsen]

Oh dear, I made yours too confusing too. No, you are not #7. Nor #1, nor #4, nor #12.
