bzuh?

[handgun.livejournal.com]

'twas my comment. my hands were on the number pad and i was too lazy to move them :(

[matt_doyle]

Ahh.

[matt_doyle]

I shall be replying to these, I swear.

[handgun.livejournal.com]

I made this. ;) I don't care about credit, but you said you weren't sure who made it, so now you know. ;D

[matt_doyle]

So noted!

[matt_doyle]

1. Because you were Parvati's player. Obviously, more reasons showed up, but that was the first one! That initial chat with you and me and Meghan and Rachel was life-changing and impressive.

2. Grey Street by DMB. The fact that you introduced me to it, the mood of the song, allthewindows...

3. Man, I have to pick just one? How about: you have always been there for me, even when nobody else was and you had no reason to be.

4. Kissing in the rainstorm at two in the morning... and having to move twice so that cars could get through the driveway.

5. I think any questions I felt were important and unanswered, I asked years ago, so there's nothing I "always wanted" to know... Do you want a question anyway?

6. the "on a silvery morning" one, because it is just so damn cool.

A close runner up is "bite bite bite bite bite etc."

7. :-P

me!

1. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not actually sure when or where we started talking. I know I've always thought you were a really cool person to talk to! But not what that first impression was. Do you remember?

2. The Commedia dell'arte. I blame your userpic, :-P

3. You're a great online conversationalist! Whenever we've chatted, if I was stressed going into the conversation, I'm calm and encouraged coming out of it.

4. Apart from just having a lot of fun in comment threads and IMs.... THE LUCIUS CANE!

5. This is a hard one for me, because if I want to know something, I ask as soon as I think of it... um. At the moment, I'd have to go with just wondering if you know the answer to question #1!

6. Gotta be the default pic; I'm not sure I've even seen you use the others. If I ever meet you I will undoubtably be surprised that you aren't actually dressed up like that, ;-P.

I love these memes. So why not.

...that totally counts as a coherent comment.

[matt_doyle]

1. I don't remember! Something tied in to HP fandom I'm sure, but it would have been... what, five or six years ago, right?

2. Werewolves!

3. You are better than almost anyone I know at telling about the everyday business of your life and making it interesting. Either that, or your life is just plain more interesting than most peoples; I couldn't say for sure. But I've always been under the impression that it's good writing.

4. Being on my friendslist for a very, very long time? I don't recall anything specific beyond just cool conversations. I'm giving this answer to a lot of people; I think this means that we should all conspire, and madcap hijinks ensue, so that next time I'm a memesheep we'll have something utterly unforgettable to talk about.

5. Apart from "when do I get to read your novel?" :-P

Um. Have you noticed recurring themes or motifs in your work that you didn't mean to put there? And if so, what are they? ((I want to know this about every writer, cause it happens to me))

6. Your default image! She just looks so cool.

[tulina.livejournal.com]

Neat!

[bookofjude.livejournal.com]

But I'm so lazy I won't post this in my own journal. :D!

[bleakwinters.livejournal.com]

Yes hello hi pick me.

Coherence, I fail.

[elf-amazon.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind having the favor returned. ;)

Dear Matt,

This is my reply, it includes the meme in question about you.

- Jen of Certain Doom

1. Because we met at the LARP at the (lol) Mall of America for Harry Potter, and you utterly charmed me with your chattering in the food court. How could I not friend you?

2. Harry Potter. Snape/Narcissa (still some of the best writing I've done to date and the most memorable). "Someday You Will Be Loved" by Death Cab for Cutie. Actually, anything at all by Death Cab for cutie. Something about their lyrics evokes your writing for me. The photo I associate with you is the one with you in your pimp hat in the book store that the kid took before he took several of me. LOL. He was hillarious. A memory - how weird it was that I trusted you within three seconds of meeting you at Shelby's. And of course RIHV. That homeless guy with the head injury under the bridge and the night we all sat on the bridge telling ghost stories after invading the abandoned silo/warehouse.

3. Your talent. Your eloquence. Your honesty. Your loyalty (not just to me, of course, but to other people). Your facial hair. The way you can just keep TALKING forever. Your entire brain. Oh and your hands too.

4. I think I already did this, but ... it's actually hard to narrow it down to one. Your/my black cloak flaring dramatically as you swept down a staircase in the bloody MoA for the LARP. How hard you laughed when I ate chocolate soap. Your Joker voice. There, that's three and THAT was hard to narrow down, damn you.

5. Why do you prefer to be called Matt? (I like Matt, don't get me wrong)

6. The one with your face on it.

7. Will do.
