Meme time!

[batskeets]

I started writing a long-ish, semi-introspective post over lunch today, but I didn't finish it... so, later, perhaps.

For right now, it's MEME TAIMU:

Comment in this journal to find out what I really think of you.

Come on, you know you want to!

Comments

rrowr!

I... like... cats. ... yes.

Re: rrowr!

IIRC, when you first punched me up on the ol' Intarweb, you struck me as being a bit naive, quite unsure of yourself, and it seemed like you weren't particularly happy a lot of the time. I think you seemed a bit lost, but that's probably normal. Late HS/early college is a bitch of a transition. ^^;

That said, I don't think this is the case nowadays, and that's good to see. You seem like you're doing a lot better in all respects. And you embracing your inner nerd/geek/dork is a definite plus! :)

Re: rrowr!

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Because, *somebody* is making me all paranoid about these ::eyeroll::, I feel like I should emphasize: what I'm *trying* to say is that you initially seemed really melancholy in a way that kind of worried me, and now I'm happy that you're happy. :) You're a smart and motivated chick, and I think you're seeing more of that in yourself now.

[cmsunflash.livejournal.com]

oh, and me! *waves* :)

[skeets.livejournal.com]

You strike me as being a kind and open person who's pretty free of social prejudice--it's not hard for you to like most people, at least on a basic level, and they'd have to be pretty obnoxious to earn a bad review from you.

I think you're somebody who has her life together. I think you're turning out in a way that I might have if I had more self-discipline. :) I think my mom would like you.

[sonnys-burning.livejournal.com]

You bets I do.
And I definitely prefer + and - if you can think of anything positive about me.

[skeets.livejournal.com]

I think there will be more + than -, but that's kind of my general mindset. :)

+ You seem really invested in experiencing new things whenever you can, even through something as simple as watching a whole lot of random-ass movies. That's pretty cool.
- Semi-regular strip clubbing. I went to a strip club one time and that was weird enough for me, so I can't quite wrap my brain around going to such an establishment repeatedly. That's probably more my problem than yours, now that I think on it.
+ The "I am Butters. Welcome to Raisins." comment in regards to the previous item *totally* made me laugh. I don't know why that one stuck in my brain, but still, hee!
+ You seem to have good taste in weird stuff. That is something that I don't run across often, so I can appreciate it a lot.
- Some of the people you've had to associate with sound like asshats. IIRC, those people aren't actual *friends* of yours, but it's unfortunate that you have to be exposed to crappy drama types.
+ I expect that you could recommend some quality booze to me, should our paths ever cross. Woo!

[sonnys-burning.livejournal.com]

Hah, I'm not sure the second negative is my fault. But yes, thanks for the sympathy.

I've actually grown out of the strip club thing mostly. I mean, for a while I was into it and was gonna branch out into the great wide world of strippers and all that... but then it seemed like a very expensive hobby with no actual reward.
I go to the Acropolis now for cheap delicious food and cheap delicious drinks. Most of the time I wish it wasn't a strip club, just so I could go there by myself after work and get dinner without feeling like a sleaze-bag.

And thanks for the comments on my tastes. I still have a lot to learn, though. I'm sad you never applied to my community before it went defunct.

[barndawgg.livejournal.com]

Me too, me too!!

[skeets.livejournal.com]

You've always been fun and silly and enjoyable to be around--it's no wonder that you mesh with the crew as well as you do. You have a big heart and have always struck me as being very welcoming and open.

[twinki79.livejournal.com]

there's a small part of me that's not sure I want to know...:)

[skeets.livejournal.com]

LOL, as if you have anything to worry about :)

You have a lighthearted manner and an infectious laugh. Having you around always makes a fun occasion even more fun. I think that you aren't entirely aware of your good qualities, and maybe you're a little afraid to expect too much from your life because of it. (heh, pot? Kettle? Black?) You deserve more than you get.

[twinki79.livejournal.com]

thanks...and you're right, I deserve way more than the shit I'm given. LOL

[ex-jean.livejournal.com]

Uh... go ahead. Shoot! (Although I understand that it might not be all that easy, seeing as I hardly ever comment, we've never talked, etc... but then again, it might be easy just because of that.)

[skeets.livejournal.com]

You always struck me as being mature, while still having the ability to be silly and enjoy a variety of things. You haven't entirely lost touch with your inner child. I think you're the way that I'd like to be, in that respect, but I think I usually end up being too much of a spaz. ;p

I also think you have good instincts about other people--you've shown generosity to people that I hold dear to my heart, and you've also found yourself a fiancee who seems very loving and who appreciates you. That latter thing is *hard* for a lot of people.

[ex-jean.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ^^ I appreciate the kind words.

I get the "inner child" thing from my parents. They can be very child-like, too, and have never really told me that I'm "too old" for something. They have the common sense to know that keeping that inner child healthy is important to keeping the outer adult from snapping.

As for the fianceé... I got lucky. Very lucky. He needed a person with common sense and rational thinking for his depression; I needed someone who'd understand that I do indeed yell because I care. And, well, because he has his inner child fully intact as well. <3

[randvek.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha, I'm curious to know what you think about me, a complete stranger!

[skeets.livejournal.com]

So far, you seem like a cool guy that might be fun to hang out with. Well, if I weren't so weird about new people, that is. ^^;; You like a lot of Cool Things, and seem pretty mellow and intelligent. And for having a personality disorder (as you put it in your profile), you seem like you're doing pretty darn well for yourself. ^_-

[divadrummer.livejournal.com]

Turn about's fair play.

[skeets.livejournal.com]

You seem to be pretty happy, comfortable with yourself, and well-liked. You have your act together, and for some reason are vaguely intimidating. The latter could easily just be bleeding over from my general "I'm at work, so I should probably behave like less of a dork" mindset. And you know, I've heard other folks apply the same statements to me, so who knows what that means? :)

It sounds like you get to go out and do things that I would like to be doing for at least some of my time (dancing, karaoke-ing, generally going out), but hardly ever do because my usual partners-in-crime? Not so much into those things. You seem to lead a pretty rich life, and I wonder sometimes how you fit it in.

[junsiew.livejournal.com]

::bites the bullet::

[skeets.livejournal.com]

You're very genuine and down-to-earth--you're never trying to put on airs or be something you're not. You like to please people and help them out, which is very generous. It might just be the fact that I've known you since we were both wee children, but something about your personality puts me at ease and makes me feel comfortable. If I had a sister that liked the same stuff I do and never fought with me, you'd totally be her. ^_-

[kelaar.livejournal.com]

woof

[skeets.livejournal.com]

You strike me as being pretty passionate about what you do, but in kind of a subdued way. I think you can be very connected to your creative work, so maybe you keep it a little more guarded that other folks might. You're thoughtful, mellow, and kind. You seem rather melancholy at times, in a way that I kind of identify with. I would like to see you happier.

[ghost-girl.livejournal.com]

Oh hey, I had a dream with you in it last night! It was a creepy high school drama dream. You spread rumors about me at school that I was a jerk and it was because we had this huge misunderstanding and you thought for some reason I hated you, but we made up and hugged once we figured out that no, I didn't hate you, I in fact like you very much.
Isn't that super weird?

[skeets.livejournal.com]

WEIRD. I kind of want to slap my dream-self for being a shit-starter. ::rotfl::

I don't know if you want me to do the meme, but I'm going to anyway! :D

I think you're one of the most emotionally stable and functional people I know. Or at least, you are when your BC isn't screwing with your head. :) You have insecurities and doubts and all that, sure, but it's just a normal amount, and I think you're pretty happy with yourself most of the time. You're talented and you're very true to yourself.

[tracylynnquan.livejournal.com]

Me too! :D

While I'm here (commenting in your journal, that is), I mentioned to Brian (my boyfriend/your multimedia cronie) that you'd gotten a non-freelance-type job in town, and he wants to know how you went about doing that. I think the whole getting clients to pay up BS is getting him down...

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Actually, we are looking to add to our design team right now, and not having much luck with it! ;p He should definitely check us out (http://www.lunarlogic.com/) and apply, especially if he has a good skillset for web design, UI design, and that sort of thing.

Right now, it sounds like we're either getting people who are not qualified to do the job, or people who are *hideously* overqualified. (like, "15 years of experience!" overqualified) So yeah, we need somebody good to come through the door! :)

(I'll do the meme over lunch)

[skeets.livejournal.com]

You seem like a generally happy person with a positive outlook--you're busy and stressed out every so often, like most folks, but it doesn't seem to get you down very far. I think you're the sort of person who rises to a challenge when it's presented to you, even when other folks would readily give up on it.

[tracylynnquan.livejournal.com]

Golly, that's nice! Considering we haven't actually talked in person. :D We should change that, by the way! Coffee or a movie sometime? Also, I'm seeking partners in crime to go do wacky stuff with. Are there any karaoke places in town?

Brian submitted his resume to your office online - he says he's heard good stuff about them! Exciting! I think he's working on a spiffy portfolio at the moment. Thanks for the tip, by the way!

[nidaba.livejournal.com]

Whee!

[skeets.livejournal.com]

You are definitely one of the most outgoing people I know. If you *do* have any hangups about just going up to a stranger and being yourself, you certainly don't show it. You're always ready to bust your hump in order to achieve your goals, no matter how hard it may get along the way. You're open and honest, patient, and always willing to help people out if you can. I think you'll be a really good math teacher.

[xplo.livejournal.com]

Ehhhhhhh... what the hell.

The thing is ...

[honeymagnolia.livejournal.com]

to the best of my knowledge, you have no idea who I am. Ready, set, go.

[meredithcecile.livejournal.com]

are you willing to do one for me? I promise to stay cool. I owe you a really long apology that I'm not sure how to write, but I think about it a lot. I'm slowly working on being more sane, quitting BC has helped.
Peace?

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Eh, I'm not one to stick around for too terribly long when I think I'm not wanted, but I've been over it for a while. My grudges tend to be short-lived, so yeah, no sweat. :)

I have to dash, but I'll try to fit in memestuff later!
