Bilbliomancy and Dreams and Super-Adaptive Memes

[wolven7]

I stole this idea from jessicamelusine, and then changed it.

'"I don't hear it," Olan whispers, and he hides his face in his pillow and waits for daylight.' - Tales of Pain and Wonder, pg 211, "Rats Live On No Evil Star"

I dramed about being in DC, about finding old frinds and new adoring fans. Riding the Metro, down around the Zoo, and the Zoo was Stone Mountain, and that was something else. Union Station, maybe. Anyway. I was trying to find people, get to my great-aunt's house, riding the wrong trains,trains which had been updated with new lighting systems, and line-indicators. I got off at one of the still funtioning junctions, and got on the correct line, leaving my fans in the train, but I told themm I'd meet them, later. Their train pulled away, but started to reverse, as the doors on mine closed, and the train pulled out of the station.

Prior to that, ther was something about driving around the DC that's much taller in my head than it is in "reality." I drove to that Metro station.

I think that bibliomancy would work better if I still had piles and piles of books, everywhere, shifting, changing, always close to hand.

Today, we're doing a Meme Free-For-All. Just think of me as the mental equivalent of the CDC.

In comments you can: a) interview me with five questions.
b) tell me a secret (screened posting)
c) ask me any question about anything (life the universe, everything, interest lists on bios, etc)
d) tell me what you'd do, if left alone with me, and were free of consequences (short of punching me, repeatedly; I take t hat one as a given.)
e) Indicate that you want t know why i friended you, what animal you remind me of, or whatever.
f) fill in the ____________

Now, obviously, I'd prefer non-screened, non anoynymous posts, but I know that usually doesn't fly. So there you are. I screened them for you. If you're responding to one of the trickier ones, but are okay with it being public, indicate as much.

Believe me, there is a point to all of this. For one thing, we've got a lot of new people, and I'm trying to see how well you all play, together.

For another... Well. That's another, isn't it?

kk, um, what animal do I remind you of? And I don't mind being unscreened.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

I generally think of a lioness with a bird of prey in its mouth. Not dead, just... there.

[cailement.livejournal.com]

hehe, sweet.

Ooo, oo....

Umm. Ok, I can't think of anything, so the above animal thing is good. And then...surprise me, and answer a question of your choice. The next person should then do something with that question, to make it more interactive. :)

A particularly curious snake.

And I can't think of any answers... I'll wait a bit.

C# Did I do the right thing in regards to breaking up with Pragati? More specifically, that despite the good times, the bad times (and us being wrong for one another) would have eaten us?
C# How do I get over her?
C# Where's my snugglebunny, dammit?
... yeah, I know. Typical questions for the sage. I'll skip on the money ones, though.
C# How do I maintain the strength to follow through on these ideas (especially on harnessing my own power) rather than continually going, "Oooh, that's neat!" and forgetting about it in a week or less?

D# Not unlike this, actually; probably devour your tasty brainmeats. Metaphorically, anyways.
D# D&D?

E# I've already asked several, but I'll leave this spot open for if there's anything you specifically want to tell me.

C: Yes, because it's done, now, and the only thing to do is learn and move forward. You put one foot in front of the other, Lift the leg, step up, and keep walking, until you're on the other side. Somewhere over There. Write yourself a list, and don't be afraid to ask people to help and remind you, and make sure that you listen to them when they do.

D: Maybe. I need to find a job, first.

E: Mind the gap.

C2 and C3: I feel like I'm wandering blind, at this point. If I walk in any given direction the amount of time it will take me to hit water is less than infinite, but for 2) I'm not really sure whether or not I'm moving, and for 3) I'm really uncertain about what I'm qualifying as 'water'. I suppose I need a compass that doesn't point North.

Compasses point toward the strongest orientation.
