1) Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
I know I've already said this, but every time I see your "Rowan" penname, I have to squash the, "OMG!Fluffy!Teenage!Pagan!" thoughts.
2) I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
I'm so terrible with music...um...
3) I'll pick a flavor/color of jello to wrestle with you in. (Maybe.)
Jello, huh? Black cherry, I guess. You must wear a, um...let's see...crimson swimsuit.
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
"Auditioning to beta".
5) I'll tell you my first memory of you.
See the above re: name, but then, the real first memory was, "OMG, I'm so glad I read that!" and pimping it to everyone. My first real memory of you talking to me was the "Christmas morning" excitement email after I sent you comments.
6) I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.A very bright, very sly house cat with a contented smile when it's getting what it wants, and rather disdainful of having to do things it doesn't wish, sadly aware that the latter

A very bright, very sly house cat with a contented smile when it's getting what it wants, and rather disdainful of having to do things it doesn't wish, sadly aware that the latter are the more common.
Wow. That's...cool.:)
I think this is based more on your stories than anything, though, as I don't know YOU so well.
I think my stories are more me than just about anything, so...:)
7)Are you ever on any messenger services?
Technically I'm on AIM, but I'm never there, and rarely have the chance to chat. Maybe once school starts for my kid (but then, of course, you'll be at work:)). And you asked me that once before, and the comment notice is still in my mailbox of stuff to reply to, waiting for me to get a chance to answer.:D
What do you look like?HA!:D Caucasian, medium brown hair, just above shoulder length at the moment, but it's sometimes much longer, golden-brown eyes, reasonably slim, 5'5", long fingers, long arms. Dress trendy sometimes.:) (But with the cheap versions so the dog and kid can beat up my clothes and I don

Glad to hear; folks have been pleased with the "animal" one though I've felt odd about them each time.
Technically I'm on AIM, but I'm never there, and rarely have the chance to chat.
Course...after kidlet is in bed (as mine still are), we could do a quick coordination of ideas re: local stuff.... :-)
Caucasian, medium brown hair, just above shoulder length at the moment
Hey...me too!
golden-brown eyes,
Oh, those sound COOL!!!!
reasonably slim
Ah, the fond memories...
5'5", long fingers, long arms.
Me too, but plus 2 inches on the height.
Dress trendy sometimes.
Wow. I so don't. My mom has been after me since I was, like, ten not to dress like a 50-year-old librarian stereotype.
That's me in the icon...not in my normal clothes. :-)
When are you finishing/working on the next "Small Graces"? Damned if I know.
You're KILLING me here. I do understand how the characters sometimes hush up when they're not happy with the situation of the story and don't really want to talk about it, but...ack!
not gonna post it in my journal. you have been warned!!
also, the local crew of friends changed question 3, cause we were all, "jello? wtf?" The revised thing turned into "I will randomly blame something that's wrong in my life on you." Elizabeth blamed me for stubbing her toe that morning. Obviously my fault!!
1) Reply with your name and I'll respond with something random about you.
You have more energy and generosity than almost anyone I've ever met. And you're one of the best stitchers and seamstresses I've ever met. My great good fortune.
2) I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
While You Were Sleeping ...mostly because you made me go watch it and I was so depressed that I HATED it and was FURIOUS at the Good Family Happy Ending kind of thing...and only later came to see what a charming movie it was.
3) I'll pick a flavor/color of jello to wrestle with you in. (Maybe.)
I'm with you (though I'd choose black cherry jello as it's my favorite and what I wouldn't mind getting some in my mouth). I think the fact that I'm hungry right now and want junk food is your fault.
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
Monitor go "bounce-bounce-bounce"!

1 - thank you! 2 - I dragged you to that movie? Inside my head you were the one who showed it to me.... Hmm... 4 - *giggle*!! 5 - you hadn't had a "real" hug in ages before that day? Wow! I still remember thinking part-way through that evening that I was *so* glad that Rose had come along, as we were *totally* ignoring both of them and at least they had each other to keep company! 6 - a hummingbird? wow! Thank you! 7 - How on EARTH do you keep up?I don't keep up. Not even close. I fall behind every singly day of my life. But it doesn't matter (much) because I always shift my priorities so that the important stuff has a better chance to get done. Mostly it's my house that suffers. I haven't dusted in *forever*. My brother's family dusted for me back in February, but I've barely kept up with things since then. Sometimes I short myself on sleep. But the real thing is that I draw energy from people. There have been times when I drew energy and support from others while helping you. This past weekend I drew a LOT of

I identify all too strongly with so much of what you post about. Your posts make me feel lucky about my husband and our relationship, but so much else is all too familiar...and so frustrating in its unchangingness.
2) I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
This is going to sound horrible...but Sophie's Choice.
3) I'll pick a flavor/color of jello to wrestle with you in. (Maybe.)
Hmmmm. Jello. I think instead I'll do imbri6's version of "Something I'm going to blame on you." I've decided it's your fault that I still have ends to weave into the throw I've finished. I HATE weaving in ends. If I were going to pick jello...I'd have to go with, um...I guess my standby of black cherry.
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.Cold, soaking wet, 30 pounds of clothes twice as heavy as they were before the wet, splashing through puddles with wet squishing feet, hoping for a spot close to the fire...and it's the most delightful day you've

You always remind me of my friend Abbie in appearance and because of your hair and its color and texture.
2) I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
I'm SO lousy at this. So lousy. Um...October Sky?
3) I'll pick a flavor/color of jello to wrestle with you in. (Maybe.)
Blue raspberry. With leela_cat. :-)
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
Special smile, just for you.
5) I'll tell you my first memory of you.
Watching that smile directed at you, while everyone was exhausted and sore.
6) I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
A badger: loyal, trustworthy, tenacious, determined.
7) I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
How are you so okay after so much crap? It impresses me tremendously.

I still see Boo's face when I try to picture you in my head.
2) I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
Kiki's Delivery Service. :-)
3) I'll pick a flavor/color of jello to wrestle with you in. (Maybe.)
Purple. You know...purple flavor that you get in bubble gum and popsicles and kool-aid. And you're wearing a hot pink swimsuit.
4) I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
Doomed!OTP!fandom surivors unite!
5) I'll tell you my first memory of you.
You were wearing gypsy garb in the halls at MWC. Then you were quickly elsewhere and I missed how you left.
6) I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
Er...a butterfly?
7) I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
When are you visiting Chicago? I've spent FAR too little time just hanging out with you (so little that I can barely picture you at all).
