1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
You are the 2nd Misty I've ever met.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
OK, I'm officially killing this one because I would never challenge anyone to do something that I didn't think they would want to do. Just go try something new today, tomorrow, next week.

3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
blue-green

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You make me nostalgic. You remind me of home. but most of all, you have a light-hearted dry wit that makes me laugh.

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Giving you 20 billion figs to take home

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
a leopard

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
What was the draw to California?

[rhiannonstone.livejournal.com]

The first time I came to CA, it wasn't because I wanted to come--it was because my boyfriend at the time got a job here and we had to move from Salt Lake City to San Jose in four days. After I left the asshole boyfriend, though, I found myself falling in love with CA, specifically Berkeley, and when Paul and I had to leave we couldn't think about anything but getting back for the three years we were in Boston. It's hard to put a finger on exactly what I love about it so much. The mild weather, certainly; the pervy and permissive culture, sure; the great food, yeah; proximity to the ocean's a plus, too. But there's something above and beyond all that, an x-factor I can't quite describe, that no other place has ever had for me.

...a leopard?

[yesimthegirl.livejournal.com]

I can't really explain. There is just something about you that reminds me of a leopard. In a good way, not the "chase you down and rip out your insides" kind of thing. Whenever we worked with the leoparts at CPT they were always very nice and each had its own individual personality.

OK, here's a meme I can get behind. You better comment on mine so I can do it for you.

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
Your wedding was one of the BEST that I've attended.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
I'm going to skip this one, because anything I suggest wouldn't be much of a challenge. It would be just something else fun to do.

3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
plum

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You're a good friend. Feel the love!

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Finding out you were Ronette's little brother.
wow! that goes way back.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
a giraffe

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
What are your plans for school?

[yarbiedoll.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! I have to go finish that! Thanks for the reminder.

A giraffe? I sooo have to know the rationale behind that answer. If only. I would love to be a giraffe if it meant I could reach things on the top shelf in my kitchen. Or top shelves anywhere, for that matter.

Ah, school. I'm taking a Spanish class right now. Somewhere deep in the recesses of my mind I'm still kicking around the idea of dental school or a doctorate in psychology. But no definite plans in either of those directions. More school means more homework! Blah!

They are very elegant but defy convention at the same time.

[ajayne.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. I love these things and I'll definitely do it in return. :D

[yesimthegirl.livejournal.com]

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
You have great eyebrows.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Why does that one sound like a combat challenge?
I challenge you to try knitting a scarf?

3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
burgundy

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
I think you're brave.

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Hmmm, not sure because it seems like you've always been here. OK, that sounds bad and everytime I try to think of a better way to say it I dig myself in deeper. We'll just leave it as a good thing.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
a turtle

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
Ever want to try a girl again?

[ajayne.livejournal.com]

1. Thanks - without my monthly waxing, they'd be out of control... thank you to my Grandma. Ha!

2. I shall give it a try and post a picture of my attempt, sure.

3. Oh, that's a nice color.

4. Brave? Really? Thanks! :)

5. I think I have to agree... I feel like I have just always been on your list. And it's definitely not a bad thing.

6. Turtle, eh? Interesting.

7. Yep. With the right girl, I think.

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
You are more obsessed with babies than I am. Not in a bad way, I just thought I was the one obsessed.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Am I the only one that found this statement hard?
I challenge you to do one thing fun and totally unnecessary.

3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
Pink - any shade, just pink.

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You have an interesting take on the world and I love when you post things about what's happening in the world.

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Well, I probably have one before the one I'm going to write, but my favorite is when you posted that you loved teenybopper music.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
An ocelot, a bit ferocious, but mostly likes to be a lap kitty. Hmmm, well that doesn't sound too enticing now. I guess the point is you've got backbone when you need it. At least from my side of the world.

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
I know this is going to sound weird, but how did you end up dating a Greek boy? I know the Greek community and this happens, but not a lot. Which in my book translates to G must be an AMAZING boy.

[curefreak.livejournal.com]

I'm game (and I suspect stupid! *lol*)

[yesimthegirl.livejournal.com]

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
I think you may be porn challenged. ;P

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
I challenge you to a battle of wits!

3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
blue

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
Just you in general. I don't like many people. ;)

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
"Are you sure you want to friend me?"

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
a lemur

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
Do you want some PB Twix?
OK, that's sort of a cheat, but I can't think of anything.

[emeralds-roses.livejournal.com]

*Plop* Ok, comment ;o) I'll do yours later ;o)

[yesimthegirl.livejournal.com]

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
Your wedding dress is/was GORGEOUS!!!!

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
A duel? Ha Ha! No, I challenge you to sew a skirt. :)

3. I’ll pick a colour that I associate with you.
Deep royal blue

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You go with the flow and you inspire me.

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Telling me you found me via <lj user="curefreak"'s page. 6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of. a cat - it's that go with the flow thing 7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you. How did you end up teaching in the Netherlands?

[emeralds-roses.livejournal.com]

The challenge is difficult as I don't own a sewing machine. I actually helped make a skirt when I was 11 years old, but since then I haven't really been near a sewing machine. I suppose I could ask the fiancé/husband to get me one :oP

I actually didn't start out in the Netherlands as a teacher. I was 15 when I moved here, so unless I was a child genius or a "Doogy Houser" type person, I doubt I was teaching at that age ;o) Incidentally, I came here because I have family out here: a blood cousin who is Italian married to a Dutch man of Indonesian descent. Teaching came up when I was in my third year at university and I had to make some choices as to what I wanted to do once I got my Master's.

[harleydays.livejournal.com]

I'm responding. :)

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
I almost forgot to do yours.
I have no idea whether you are on the east coast or the west coast right now.

I killed this one because I thought it was kind of unfair.

Red

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You are fun and quirky.

You running across the stage with that horrible wig and Ronette going "Oh my god! It is Michelle!!!"

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
What do you want to be when you grow up? :)
More specifically, now that you've graduated and only have a year left of Covenant players?
