Bleme Mutation - Closed

[dvandom]

Comment in my journal and I will...

1. Tell you why I friended you. Assuming I can remember :)
   
2. Associate you with something. A fandom, a song, a color, a piece of fruit. SOMETHING.
   
3. Tell you something I like about you.
   
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
   
5. Associate you with a character/pairing.
   
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you. (Or else I'll just ask a random question)
   
7. List a physics concept that seems to fit with you.
   

I have mutated the bleme so it is no longer as infectious...you may participate here without having to pass it on. Here at DVD Pseudoscience, we absorb the guilt so you don't have to!

Update: Closing the new entries...this is by far the longest thread I've had on here, and I'm having trouble keeping track. ;) Feel free to keep discussing, I'm just not going to run the list on anyone else.

I don't think you friended me back, actually.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Because you just nagged me into it. :) (I think that the last time I did a "manage friends" sweep, most of the stuff on your LJ was the same blemes that were on everyone else's LJ, so I didn't add you.)
2. Transformers.
3. You have the guts to have a NSFW icon.
4. I remember asking you about the story behind said icon, I just don't remember the answer anymore. ;)
5. Nothing comes to mind. Comes from not having been reading your LJ, I suppose...
6. Why 138?
7. = R/C (assuming the HTML works, otherwise it's a tau)

[jameel.livejournal.com]

Hit me.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Known you since the dawning days of the Legion of Net.Heroes.
2. Nudism.
3. Your enthusiasm, which is rarely directed in annoying ways.
4. At BotCon, you bouncing up and down on the hotel bed, chanting, "KROK RULES!"
5. Krok and Gatoraider, naturally.
6. Have you ever regretting getting out of physics?
7. E = (n+½)hν

[foomf.livejournal.com]

Do you also absorb the Gilt?

Or we don't have to pay you to do this?

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Also a long-time LNHer.
2. Unfortunately, the first thing that comes to mind these days is not a happy association...cancer.
3. Your ability to put up with us kids.
4. Back in 92, your somewhat disturbing take on Acton Lord.
5. The Badger, for some strange reason pops into my head. ;)
6. Have you ever pretended to be younger online than you are?
7. Blackbody radiation.

[jarodrussell.livejournal.com]

Comment. Comment.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. You started commenting on my LJ and on some we had in common, and when it came time to do my occasional "manage friends" sweep I decided your LJ had enough content of interest to add. ;)
2. Lost Cause Boy of the LNH.
3. Your ire tends to result in interesting things. A lot of people have boring anger.
4. I remember trying, for several days, to figure out if you and Jarodimus of alt.toys.transformers were the same guy, and probably confused both of you a couple of timed during that period.
5. Blue Beetle, naturally.
6. If DC launched a sort of "Ultimate" line, and decided to have Ted Kord be the Beetle of that line, would you buy it (presuming it wasn't written by Johns or some other person on your Do Not Buy list)?
7. Rotational motion.

Pseudoscience rules.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Long time Transformers fandom connections.
2. Pyro. BTW, I still have that chrome-base Attacktix Pyro I set aside for you.
3. You've actually managed to last as long as you have moderating an x-fan board. That says something.
4. I'm actually not sure if we've met or not, scarily. If we have, you were overshadowed by more colorful personalities like Jameel, I expect.
5. Pyro and Avalanche. But not in a slashy sense.
6. I would have asked you the same basic question I asked Andy, but they DID make an Ultimate Pyro, and...well, anyway. If you were given the option to have Earth-616 Pyro brought back from the dead, but no other guarantees about how he'd be treated, would you do it, or leave him dead?
7. The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics.

[z4nd4r.livejournal.com]

This'll be interesting. ;)

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Pretty much same reason as jarodrussell, plus the AllSpark connection.
2. The Dreadnoks.
3. Hm, tough one. I mean, I find you interesting enough to have friended you, but not much stands out other than that.
4. Ditto.
5. Um, Zartan? ;)
6. Do you consider yourself a Christian despite having endured parochial school?
7. Index of refraction.

[susp.livejournal.com]

Word.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. a.t.t other TF fandom history. I am not, however, a #wiigii'er.
2. Bob and Doug MacKenzie.
3. Your ability to complain about how much tail you get. It's amusing, in an inverted schadenfreude way.
4. Finding out you were a grade school teacher sticks in my mind.
5. The case of Least I Could Do.
6. If you could get a permanent teaching gig, which grade would you prefer?
7. The heat of fusion.

[gary-williams.livejournal.com]

This comment is made from 100% recycled bits.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Shared Transfandom.
2. Cassette TFs.
3. You're an online fandom person yet managed to keep your ability to interact civilly with people (okay, that's true of most people I've friended, but still).
4. I remember all the tech fun resulting from you and Vulcana getting married and all the account changing. ;)
5. Saberwind and Ravage?
6. When did you get into TF fandom?
7. Covalent bonding.

[andrusi.livejournal.com]

'Ello.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. This is becoming a stock answer...shared TF fandom. ;)
2. Transformers.
3. Your willingness to take the time to present constructive criticism on occasion, assuming I'm remembering correctly.
4. "So THAT'S what happened to that lot of kitbash parts I was bidding on!"
5. Tails.
6. Is "Andrusi" your real name?
7. Rotational inertia.

[redneckgaijin.livejournal.com]

Okay, but remember that since I posted a prior version of the meme I'm inoculated from future outbreaks.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. You popped up and started commenting in places I read, and I recognized you from some interactions we had when I was in grad school.
2. Breasts.
3. Your willingness to stand behind your political convictions without turning into a talking-point-spouting drone.
4. Back in the late 90s, you sent me a photocopy of Milkmaid #1 to review. At that time, I knew about the artist on the book from the Velar archive, but it was the first I'd heard of or from you.
5. Spider Jerusalem.
6. Were you worried that I'd publicly pan Milkmaid #1 at the time?

[grant-p.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure that would work for me, seeing as I've been on the list for a WEEK, but I would like to steal this from you if that's ok!

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. You asked me if you could friend me, I said yes and then checked your LJ to see if it was interesting.
2. Masking tape.
3. Well, you're definitely polite. ;)
4. Not so much a memory as a weird association. A day after I found out what your major was, I got the assignment to evaluate the assessment plan for K-State's version of your major. And they were using a weird bit of assessment statistics invented in Physics Education Research.
5. Thundercracker.
6. Which side of your icon (above) do you feel you lean more towards?
7. Heat of vaporization.

[syringavulgaris.livejournal.com]

Pong. (Though I know #1, at least.)

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Yep, Legion of Net.Heroes.
2. The movie High Anxiety, for fairly obscure reasons. ;)
3. You're willing to face your insecurities in ways that few people can manage.
4. This is a really old memory, and at this point I'm not even 100% sure it was you, but one of the other physics grads at Ohio State organized an online-invite New Year's Eve party in 92 or 93, and I think you were one of the people to come in from out of town to attend, making you the first other LNHer I met in person.
5. Lurking Girl!
6. When did you "blossom" and switch roles?
7. Tensile strength.

[1boringperson.livejournal.com]

This should be interesting.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. A "manage friends" sweep, basically. You friended me, seemed to have reasonably interesting (or at least not copied from every other person on LJ) content on your LJ, albeit not a lot. And your comments other places seemed to demonstrate cluefulness.
2. Sleep?
3. You're not a ruthless self-promoter.
4. Drawing a blank here. :)
5. Limp-Asparagus Lad, the Man of Dull
6. What's your favorite Tom Lehrer song? (Yes, I peeked at your info page.)
7. Inertia

[wistling.livejournal.com]

Infect away!

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Well, given that I nagged you into GETTING the LJ account, it'd have been awfully poor form not to friend you.
2. Words.
3. You're an excellent writing collaborator.
4. Hanging around the Amtrak station in East Lansing, waiting and waiting and waiting for your train to show up.
5. The Legion of Substitute Heroes.
6. Hm, a tough one. Given how often we've chatted over the past fifteen years, there's not much left I haven't asked you that I'm interested in knowing the answer to. ;) How's this: if you could be sure of getting a job there, if only a non-tenure one, what university would you most like to work at?
7. Static electricity.

[kateshort.livejournal.com]

Yo. -grin-

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Well, I've known you for a while here and there on Usenet, so when I spotted you posting to various other LJs, I tacked you on. :)
2. Shhhhhh!
3. You actually like working with tweens, which strikes me as a sign of either virtue or madness, either of which I'm cool with.
4. The Trellis From Hell, perhaps?
5. Barbara Gordon, 1968 TV version.
6. Dewey or LoC, and why?
7. Maxwell's Laws.

[aardy.livejournal.com]

No trees were harmed during the creation of this message; however, several electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. Sort of a "spousal hire" in this case. ;)
2. Kateshort!
3. You're funny.
4. Coming back to the trellis, really.
5. The Librarian, the orangutan one.
6. Professionally you need to be organized...is your personal space at home equally organized, or do you compensate by slobbing out (as much as Kate will let you)?
7. Quantum tunnelling.

[finback.livejournal.com]

BAMF

[dvandom.livejournal.com]

1. I didn't. ;)
