I've been heavy on the memes lately, and it's getting out of hand. Nevertheless, via Smeg:

3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.

Meme me, baby.

Sorry it took me so long to get to this. Not through lack of regard, I assure you.

1. Tell you why I friended you.

I think perhaps you friended me, and then I looked at your journal and liked it. Either that or you were showing up on the friends lists of a lot of my friends. Mostly, I was lucky enough to see your journal, and it was insantly obvious you were the sort of person it was nice to have around.

2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word etc.

I'm just going to free associate... Gin, impractical shoes, fetching short hair that reminds me of the 30s, Carl, excited small mammals, "right," accurate navigation, and the mad desire to be disreputable even though one knows one is too responsible to manage it.

3. Tell you something I like about you.

I have trouble thinking of anything I don't like. I love your periodic determination to be homey and settle down in the country and make pies and keep a neat house and have a yard full of dogs, and the way you quickly abandon this plan in favor of either drinking and watching shows you've downloaded or invading the nearest mosh pit.

4. Tell you a memory I have of you.

I remember the first time I met you, in Bath, I was so excited I could not stop banging my fork on the table. I also remember a time I met you on the steps of the British museum and you were wearing a black coat and blue shoes and you looked very chic and I wanted to film it with this nice move in, but did not have a camera, a dolly, or a context for the shot.

5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.

I think I mostly just ask. The stuff I don't know is the stuff that you don't know, mostly - long-term plan kind of stuff that changes all the time. Hmmm. Okay. What's your favorite biscuit, and do you have an opinion on the pink wafer?

6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.

You have great icons generally, but I am especially partial to "drink and be merry." I do love all of them, though, and think you use them well.
