Manda's Meme
Hello, my lovely LiveJournal friends!
I'm bored. So I... made a meme? Is that something one can just do? Well, I'm gonna give it a go. It's only seven questions long (I'll post them with my answers first and then a blank version at the end if you want to play), so if you're a bit bored too, we can entertain each other! :)
1. How long have you ( Read more... )
I'm bored. So I... made a meme? Is that something one can just do? Well, I'm gonna give it a go. It's only seven questions long (I'll post them with my answers first and then a blank version at the end if you want to play), so if you're a bit bored too, we can entertain each other! :)
1. How long have you ( Read more... )
Since January! (and yes, I had to look it up because, as usual, I couldn't remember!)
But I think I had a different account years and years ago - just like a random babbling blog thingy - no clue what the username or anything would have been.
2. How did you come up with your online name(s)? Does it have any special meaning?
gluedwithgold is a reference to the Japanese art of Kintsugi - repairing cracks and breaks in pottery with seams of gold, therefore transforming something once thought broken and useless into something more beautiful than when it started. It's a metaphor for my struggles with depression and anxiety and the past damage of abuse - I may have had cracks and breaks, but I've worked really hard to repair them in positive ways, and I'm stronger, better and more beautiful than before.
3. Why did you join LJ?
I think someone I know badgered me into it...:-p (love you, Manda!). Seriously though - for the fic challenges!
4. What do you like about it? What keeps you active here?
I like the communities, the fic challenges - and maybe it's because I don't follow too many people/comms, but I have yet to see any wank here!
5. Do you remember what made you add me as a friend? If so, what was it?
Well, because you're awesome, of course! <3
But I don't remember what made me follow you on twitter - our first contact - it might have been serendipity!
6. Where in the world do you live? (Feel free to be as specific/unspecific as you'd like, lol. I just like seeing how far spread my online friends are :))
Vermont - I am a mountain girl! whoop whoop!
7. Tell me one random/happy/good thing about your day! :)
My co-worker threatened me with a plastic fork as I was walking through the kitchen to leave for lunch.
I counter-threatened with my car key. I won. :-D (you said random!)

2. Have I mentioned how much I *love* that? I remember reading a blog post of yours about that once (was it on blogspot maybe?? #SoManyBlogs), and I still think it's beautiful. And an awesome metaphor ♥
3. hehehe - love you too! :-*
4. YES, NO WANK. People seem to put so much more time and thought into their interactions here; it makes for a much happier space. Also, spoilers are better hidden!!
5. Hehehe - obviously, as one of the people who 'badgered' you into joining LJ, I had to be one of your first mutuals! Hmm, twitter though... I just remember that our friendship really picked up when we started writing 'A Merry (Blushing) Christmas' as a surprise for Sammie :)
6. YOU WOULD MENTION THE MOUNTAINS. JERK.
XP
7. I did indeed say random. I enjoy random. I'm glad you won! XD lol

4. I think LJ is a much slower pace than twitter or other platforms - therefore, the people slow down, which results in thinking before they speak (or type). Amazing what a few more seconds of thought can do, eh?
5. We were so freaking obsessed with getting that story written! lol - there were quite a few late nights on that one!
6. *whistles innocently*
7. I kind of thought of Dean on the plane to Scotland with his fork...hehehe

I wouldn't have made the connection though, your username reminds me of arts and crafts, which is cool, too.

And yeah, it conjures up crafts for me too - which is cool, I do crafty things too!
(well, I did before SPN and fanfic took over my life lmao)

I can't find the one other fic by that title that I remember, nor the gorgeous artwork that was made for it. I'll keep looking, and post it if I find it.
