Comment and I will:
1) Tell you why I friended you.
2) Associate you with a song/film.
3) Tell a random fact about you.
4) Tell a first memory about you.
5) Associate you with a character/pairing.
6) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7) Tell you my favourite user pic of yours.
8) In retort, you must spread this disease in your LJ.

Infection vector: jaerven. I figure, what the hell; I've been meaning to do this kind ofo thing for a while, now.

Why? Because I love the fuck out of all of you, and figured you should know it.

Bundle up warm, tonight, kids: lows in the mid-20s.

Narcissus has awoken.

[karishi.livejournal.com]

1: You write too much to keep up with regular check-ups.
2: Overly Denotational Dishonest Road/ and for movies, Carrie when I met you, closer to Silence of the Lambs these days
3: You guard your front leg poorly
4: You were the Coffee Maker. You made the Coffee. My visit was the night you broke the fixture.
5: Pirsig
6: How many times have you attended a church service at Christmas (if there are multiple times around the holiday, don't count more than 1 a year)?
7: Probably still the good ol' raven. Whatever.
8: Per usual, I reply here. I take umbrage at most viral thoughtforms, and certainly won't propagate them under my own name when they're so obvious. Subtler ones, like the quotability of Princess Bride, I can deal with. It's the difference between a cockroach crawling in your wall where you don't see it (or hear it, hopefully) and a cockroach walking across your kitchen floor, bold as brass.

Vellum has related to no fewer than three concepts that hadn't crossed my mind, ever, until a week or two before I read the book. Another such concept is the phrase "Et In Arcadia Ego" which, when it showed up, I realized I hadn't read it earlier in the book but in the short story anthology I was reading just before I started in on Vellum. Most likely it's just a product of the story's fragmentary style. The man seems to touch on everything he can, if only for a moment.

Re: Narcissus has awoken.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

At least 24. It makes my heart hurt, a little... No. Hurt isn'tthe right word... Vibrate?

And yeah, Vellum is good for that; he's trying to show all the intersections, and branchings pof thought, and how they're the same things, viewed differently. He does a damn fine job, I think.

[arktoi.livejournal.com]

Bwahahahaha. Well, you haven't friended me, and you know next to nothing about me, but this is cool, and I'm commenting to let you know I'm stealing it. I don't actually expect you to answer the questions >.>

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Expectations are dangerous things. :)

1) Because you finally commented in a series of things showing me real interest and lots of consideration, and I like that, a lot.

2) Nellie McKay - [David]

3) You find theoretical physics intruiging.

4) Reading your entries and profile, wondering who the fuck you were, and why you'd friended me. Leaving you as an undecided until further evidence.

5) Early, still not-quite-sure Matilda, in "Leon: The Profressional."

6) Serious elitism, or ironic?

7) Quantum Entanglement.

[draquani.livejournal.com]

Why not, if you're willing. :)

[wolven.livejournal.com]

1) Because of all the meet-and-greet at the Dresden Dolls Concert, that time, and the interconnections of people.

2) Hah! This is what came on the winamp as I got to this question: Elastica - [Connection], but, of yourself? The Dresden Dolls - [Pierre]

3) You like to bake pies and sundry at ridiculous times in the morning.

4) Meeting you in the kitchen/break room, at Horizons, with Kim.

2) The Dresden Dolls - [672]

7) Well you only have the one, but I have to say, the symbollism, in that one, is kind of loud...
