1. Tell you why I friended you. If I remember You were one of the first b_c people I friended because I decided I NEEDED to see any of the new icons you created as soon as you posted them.
2. Associate you with something. Really, really cool icons!
3. Tell you something I like about you. Your ability to create cool icons AND cool fic! It's hard to do both. I'm still working my way through The Neighbor but it's a very cool story!
4. Tell you a memory I have of you. stalking your journal for icons for nearly a day and a half ('cause you have a lot of icon posts!).
5. Associate you with a character/pairing. Castle/Beckett
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. Where did you get your user name?
7. Tell you my favorite userpic of yours. That is a toss up between that cool Converse tip-toeing through the water icon (I <3 all things Converse) and Sheldon/Amy on the couch (can I snag that one?).
Dax is my cat (who I absolutely adore). I named her after a character from Star Trek Deep Space Nine, one of the first women I ever looked up to as a child. So daxcat. The 79 is my favorite number. Yes, I have a favorite number. lol It's also related to star trek (Star Trek Voyager) from a character named Seven Of Nine. Star Trek was the first fandom I ever fell in love with, so it's kinda got a special place in my heart even though I look at that stuff now and I'm like oh lord... lol
I was wondering if Dax wasn't about Star Trek. You don't hear about many other people/characters with that name. And I like what you did with the 7 of 9 thing. Very creative!

Ooh now see this is when I'm glad that I track my reading. Hmm. Of the new stuff I've read this year, nothing really stands out. Can I say Georgette Heyer's stuff in general, since I just kind of discovered her? If not, I reread Gaskell's North and South, and that's definitely in my top 10 :)

I did see the book tracking list which is what gave me the idea for the question (I stalked everyone's journals to refresh my memory and get info!). I read GH's stuff years ago but wonder if I shouldn't give it a reread to see if I still like it!

I stared my LJ life in like, 1998 as laurie, and then promptly forgot about it because the idea of blogging seemed so mundane.
When I came back to it (in 2002 or so, after scribble.nu went down) I registered gcmtech as my high school was GCM and Tech was my life. Fun fact: when I was named stage manager, when I was a Jr in high school, my parents gave me vanity plate for my car that also read GCMTECH. It was my identity.
I got to college and knew I needed to change it, but without GCM theatre, I was a little adrift on the whole "identity" thing, and I didn't want to glom onto another school that I would leave in a few years, so I didn;t change it.
When I left for a semester abroad in winter/spring 2006, I wanted to do a different LJ about it, the way some of my friends had, and I named it after a character from one of my favorite books, Sam the Assassin

THAT IS AWESOME! I love to find out how people pick names for characters and as I reading through the names, I figured there was a cool story behind how they came to be because they aren't all the same and there is a lot of thought behind them.

I've never heard of that book but will have to try to hunt up a copy in the dark recesses now that it's out of print.
