Enough of my headspace!

[smokingboot]

Let's talk about you.


LEAVE ME A COMMENT AND....
1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people.

Never mind 'must,' tis a foolish word! Post the above on your journal if you feel like it. And if you are one of the lj friends I've never met, for 4 I'll try to pinpoint something I think we have in common, for 5 I'll give my first impression of you/your lj.

*spins about*

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. The way you laugh.

2. In the nicest possible way, Bridget Jones' Diary

3. Discover and explore the remains of a Sumerian temple; afterwards discover and explore the power of Sideequi and hashish pipes in a nearby bedouin not-pub.

4. When bra meets Vomit, no-one wins.

5. As mistress furtle, shyly pottering around your tent.

6. And young and full of passion then was I,
Stubborn and strong and jolly as a pie.
Well could I dance to tune of harp, nor fail
To sing as well as any nightingale
When I had drunk a good draught of sweet wine...
- Wife of Bath's tale or prologue - Chaucer


7. Since meeting up again at John S's party, I've often wondered why you asked me if I knew who you were!

[ellefurtle.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, the bra story...that was a day to remember! And having recently seen BJD, I sympathise all together too much, especially with the blue soup....

I think I asked because you looked a little startled. People sometimes do of course, but I suddenly had the thought that you may not have a clue who I was and were thinking 'who is this loon gassing away at me?'

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

No, I seldom forget a pair of eyes. Continual confusion is just my normal expression!

[jul1et.livejournal.com]

g'wan then - not sure if I'll put it on my LJ, but may if the urge is right!!

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. Your smile, a real straight out there beamer from the heart!

2. What's Eating Gilbert Grape? It's something about the way you can deal with out-of-this-world-yet-seen-every-day type weirdness. You can handle fantasy and real life and everything in between.

3. Lunch and a good long OOC conversation!

4. The magic of menstruation:-P

5. Earliest no, clearest was your face smiling benignly at a tent full of House Diamecht perverts, and your unstinting courtesy to a mad owl woman who wanted her feathers stroked by 'Tilly Two Jugs'.

6. Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down... '

Put your records on - Corrine Bailey Rae


7. I've never heard you say a bad thing about anybody. How do you manage such tolerance?

[november-girl.livejournal.com]

Since it's on mine already...

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. People always say your relentless honesty and it's true. But your legs are mighty fine as well;-)
2. Cherry Pie - you're the only one of my friends who will dance to it!

3. Everything we do together already only more often:-)

4. Gin sharks!

5. You as Scarlett stomping round looking gorgeous in purple with red hair that seemed to reach your waist.

6. The good stars met in your horoscope
made you of spirit, fire and dew...'
- Browning

7. How do you know when you're in love?

[squintywitch.livejournal.com]

Navel gaze me!

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. You have the eyes of a witch and not a squinty one either!

2. Ride On by Crustation, of course, now and forever.

3. Explore Scotland. Explore Turkey. Let's just go and not stop until we're exhausted.

4. Curry wine. Why, why, why?

5. At the Bards event in Sicilia, your introduction as 'Thalla the Vandal, destroyer of antiquities and stepper through portraits of great value'. The shuffling posse of wary archeologists standing ever betwixt you and anything valuable...

6. Money talks
But it can't sing and dance and it can't walk
as long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans...
-Neil Simon

7. Quite seriously, you seem to be totally talented at everything. Is there anything you've tried you can't do?

[squintywitch.livejournal.com]

Cook, organise myself, keep anything tidy. Play ball games. Ski. Stay up at a party later than about 1am without falling asleep on the sofa. Hold my drink. Stop swearing. Control my spending on larp tat. The list goes on...

[squintywitch.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. And Turkey... :)

[spiraltower.livejournal.com]

Bring it on, Boot!

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. Your generosity of spirit.
2. There's a famous seventies film called 'The Goodbye Girl' You remind me of the male lead in it.
3. We should sit down round a fire, get blasted and talk until we pass out.
4. HEWWWWWO! *with added mindflayer mask*
5. My clearest is of you magificently impersonating a strutting cockerel, making the room roar with laughter!

6. With an host of furious fancies
whereof I am commander,
with a burning spear and a horse of air
to the wilderness I wander.
By a knight of ghosts and shadows
I summoned am to tourney
Ten leagues beyond the wild world's end,
methinks it is no journey!

Tom O Bedlam's song - Anon

7. To me you seem a very intense, passionate person. What would you say is your greatest passion/obsession?

[spiraltower.livejournal.com]

Nice quote! Thanks.

My passion would have to be my work. I love it so very much and get a real kick out of helping people enjoy and understand a historical period or site.

My obsession would probably be cryptic crosswords, though I'm better than I used to be and can put an unfinshed one aside after only an hour or so of pondering over the last few clues.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Glad you like the quote. Cryptic crosswords, eh? Now I would never have imagined it. Those things drive me mad within the first two minutes!

[falco-biarmicus.livejournal.com]

Me?

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. You're an elf! an honest to goodness doesn't need the pointy ears type elf!
2. Vincent/Starry starry night but I can't remember the artist - Don Maclean?

3. Midsummer.

4. Organic salted pork.

5. There are so many! But my clearest is that of you on your wedding night, in that green dress, glimmering by star and candlelight.

6. "Unicorn, mermaid, lamia, sorceress, Gorgon--no name you give her would surprise me, or frighten me. I love whom I love."
--Prince Lír (The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle)

Actually there's a lot in that book that's very you.


7. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

[falco-biarmicus.livejournal.com]

7) Currently I would be a little frightened to say, as my dreams are a somewhat less tangible than normal. I would hope to be with my beloved, living on a small holding, exploring projects to make a living off the land, planting vegetables and herbs, walking through the countryside, sitting in trees watching birds, connecting with nature and spending my evenings writing in front of a roaring fire in a little log cabin buried in a woods. But right at the moment I cannot see myself anywhere in 10 years time, as the coming year is offering enough complexities to keep me occupied.

But midsummer…. Just before Moot 1…. Hmmmmmm

[jennifermc.livejournal.com]

If you're not bored of this by now, me please?

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. Your kindness to everybody.

2. Casablanca; I suspect you are one of life's great romantics!

3. Eat! Drink! Talk! Play! Just generally hang around together...

4. What's black and sits under Olrich's hat?

5. Clearest is a very recent one: " Oh, what shall I do? If I don't find those kyats Olrich will make you do that thing to me so he can just kill me over and over again!"

6. The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,
The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:
While the Lily white shall in love delight,
Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.

- William Blake

7. Very simple one, cos we have so much yet to learn about each other: What special something would you like to achieve?

[jennifermc.livejournal.com]

Hmm, there are many things I'd like to do. I'd love to travel to Egypt, the Holy Land, Rome and stand there and try to imagine Cleopatra, Saladin and Caesar in those places. I want to decorate my house the with lovely warm wood furniture, Art Deco lighting and a plentiful supply of bookcases.

However, I have to admit that as much as I want these things I'd abandon them in a second for the chance to have a family. Not just children but that sense of belonging that comes with living with people you love and who love you in return.

[jennifermc.livejournal.com]

And Bogart mmmm. Although not a fan of Casablanca. If I'd been there I'd a knocked Bogey out and stopped her from leaving on the plane so they could live happily ever after.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

You are much nicer than me. I'd have kicked her off the plane so that they could marry, get bored with each other and divorce. Then I would come in for the kill friendship and dark brooding sexual tension when Bogey was over her!

[bytepilot.livejournal.com]

How can I refuse such a generous offer...

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. You know I love that patchouli scent you wear.

2. 'Back to the Future' of course - all three of them!

3. Suuuuushiiiii.

4. Moonlight.

5. therre are so many! But how about you looking so dazzling in black armour, the matron mothers started demanding 'that rogue drow back' once upon a Gathering time...

6. Spread the news the Maestro's back
With a beat-box soundtrack
The King of brains - Queen of the sack
Executives have heart attack
It`s assault course celluloid
The money makers would avoid
Sometimes notions get reversed
Centre of the universe

Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery...

7. Are we ever going to get that rocket off the ground?

[bytepilot.livejournal.com]

3. Chopsticks poised and ready for action.

4. (shiver) That time of year again Darling Girl.

7. Still can't make a coherent map out of the data avaialable.
'Tis tempting to ask for more time to study it in detail.


(Gentle kisses from the waybeyond)

[larians.livejournal.com]

Waves from across the sea.....

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. Your square-jawed blue eyed heroism!

2. You are the very essence of Mission Impossible;-)


3. To be honest, I think it's time we started dating.

4. Thank you for listening earlier.

5. Seeing you at the OGC as Taliesin, thinking 'God, he looks like Robbie Williams! Clearly thinks he's god's gift though...'

6. There can only be one; Here's the whole poem for you.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

- Elizabeth B Browning

7. Next holiday location?

[jadeent.livejournal.com]

Let's see what you can think to say about me, my dear.

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. Your sense of humour is tops:-)

2. Austen Powers I and II.

3. Back to Whirligig! More music, more dancing, more, er, stuff!

4. The secrets of a gothic heroine...candles, curtains and a dead child singing. Brr!

5. First is you playing Eric Morecambe the Vampire, clearest is the amazing expression on your face as you made your handfasting vows.

6. The Future Is Cancelled! - Jerry Cornelius

7. Ooh loads of these, but I'll go for an easy one. Given the choice, where would you like to live?

[jadeent.livejournal.com]

Thank you for that, my dear. Most enlightening. I had forgotten just how psychic you are. One of your answers is incredibly relevant to something that I've been going over and over in my mind recently but unable to resolve. You've given me a new perspective on it and I have much to mull over. Thank you for that.

As for where would I like to live? Not such an easy one to answer as you might think. To be honest I don't think I can answer that at the moment. We put our flat on the market this very day in order to move in with the in-laws to look after them. We are planning on buying a holiday cottage somewhere on the south coast so that is probably the best answer I can give right now.

If you're not too bored yet?

[ravenrigan.livejournal.com]

I do so enjoy your whimsical memes.

Re: If you're not too bored yet?

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

1. Your bravery

2. Moulin Rouge
3. A festival, a fire pit, time, stars and wine!

4. the crone on your wall, with her soulful eyes.

5. I have hundreds of these, but one I recall was during a party at my place; you were stroking my ribs as we sat and talking in a very gentle way, quite different to the mighty queen of bedroom and battle I took you for!

6. Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She’s got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light she’s flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She’s got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when earth shall be as one

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light...

7. Do you ever feel rage? If so, what do you do with it when it comes?

Re: If you're not too bored yet?

[ravenrigan.livejournal.com]

OOOh, thank you.

3 If you're free August Bank Holiday we always try to make the Small World Festival in Headstone in Kent. Simon's brother runs it, it's Solar Powered, kind of groovy, funky folky and jazzy, and better, really small about a thousand peeps tops, half of them non punters. several stages with different cool music, pretty hippified, a tree circle in the middle of the space, kids carnival, sams magic hat sauna, lots of art and crativity. you'd love it! Bring chums! If you are up for it, though you kind of need to book in advance, cos it tends to sell out by June/July time. http://www.smallworldsolarstage.org/smallworld/Dream.html

7. Yeah, all the time. And whenever I let it free, I feel deep shame, and karmic retribution comes. I remember the Morrigan testing me, a year of being hagridden by the crone, impatience, and anger, and no real justification for it. It got stored as magickal energy until the time when a friend wound me up, and I was soooo angry I could have released a psychic lightning bolt and fried his mind. I didn't. And ater that,it all cam clear, andI was granted a whold load of intuitions and insights, because I had refused the offer of raw power.

So now I kind of treat it like a stormy day, exult in it, lean into it, acknwledge it's there, bend with it, store the energy as power until it can be released at the right time. I guess it is always there, simmering, underneath, which is why so many people think I am scary woman. But at the end of the day, we all have a choice about what we do.

[mitchy.livejournal.com]

Just got back from holiday, is it too late for me to play too? :)

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]

Not too late, but I'm off to London v soon so will get back to you Thurs/Fri.

Hope you enjoyed NY:-)

[smokingboot.livejournal.com]
